Mueller Investigation and Indictments

The corporate media is praying for Monday to bring an indictment against people who were associated with Trump and that the indictment will show Russia collusion with the Trump campaign. I'm going to tell you why this will not happen.

Let us presume that Trump paid Russian hookers to piss on a bed that Obama had slept in. Guess what, that would not be a crime. Let us assume that Trump had sex with Vladimir Putin, told him he loved him and Putin said he would give $7,000 for Facebook ads calling out Hillary Clinton. That would not be a crime either. Mueller can only seek indictments for legal crimes, not ethical questions. Unless Mueller can prove that someone in the Trump administration paid to have the DNC server hacked, there is no crime related to Russia. That is not going to happen.

Monday we will be told who is being indicted and for what. If someone gets indicted for tax evasion or anything not related to Russia and Trump doing something illegal then we have to ask ourselves a simple question. Why do we need a special prosecutor and why has that prosecutor wasted so much money to go after tax evaders, isn't that what the IRS is for?

The corporate media is claiming that Mueller can look into anything; but, the reality is that he can only indict for crimes. That is what prosecutors do. Prosecutors are not moral arbitrators. Lets say that Donald Trump Jr. and Kushner met with a Russian who actually had dirt on Hillary, guess what, not a crime. Talking to Russians is not a crime. Receiving information about an opponent is not a crime. I hate to say it but the DNC and Hillary paying $9 million to a retired British agent to get dirt on Trump is not a crime either.

The question for Monday will be simple. What CRIMES is Mueller investigating? Collusion is the act of working together, it is only illegal when it is a criminal conspiracy which means there must be a crime. Firing Comey is not a crime because Comey said that he was not investigating Trump and he said it to Trump, he admitted that.

The corporate media has gotten way ahead of itself on this and most people don't understand the law so the media joyously spins theories; but, they can't make something a crime that is not. The one person who could be prosecuted for a crime is the Podestas as they failed to register as working for foreign companies; but, I don't think that will happen. If it does, if Mueller actually got an indictment for that crime both Republicans and Democrats will flip out and you will see the Democrats call for Mueller's removal; but, Trump will be able to say that he doesn't think the special prosecutor should be removed for doing his job no matter where the chips fall. Stay tuned.

UPDATE:

There is something I forgot to mention. The famous Trump "dossier" that was prepared for Hillary and the DNC doesn't claim Trump committed any crimes. Somehow this is forgotten by people. What it claims is that Trump did not have any business deals in Russia, that Trump paid hookers to pee on a bed that the Obama's slept in at a hotel in Russia and that Russia had sexual dirt on Trump. Trump is not accused of a crime in the dossier. It does claim that Russia has been supplying him with information for six years; but, again that is not a crime. The point is even if we were to assume that the dossier was correct, it does not support any criminal charges against Trump.

UPDATE 2:

And we are given nothing. Paul Manafort is charged with tax fraud and hiding money overseas. Both things which occurred years ago and have nothing to do with Trump. What a shock. Here is the actual indictment.

SCRIBD - Manafort - Gates Indictment.

Of particular note, the indictment claims that Manafort lied to his tax preparer and his attorney. You are probably wondering why. Mueller did not want to charge the tax preparer or his attorney as that would look even worse.
