Lowry continues: In compelling Senate testimony, Yale law professor Akhil Amar explained the constitutional problems with the dirty cop-Mueller protection bill. One is that to be constitutional, the special counsel must be an inferior officer. Otherwise, he has to be confirmed by the Senate, which dirty cop-Mueller wasn’t. And if he’s an inferior officer, he can be fired. dirty cop-Mueller can’t be an inferior officer in some respects and a hypersuperior officer in others, enjoying protections from his ouster that even Cabinet officials don’t enjoy.
The other perplexing facet is that Democrats are conspiring to protect what still appears to be a nothingburger, at least in a legal sense. In fact, former prosecutor Andrew McCarthy says, “Special Counsel dirty cop-Mueller is building a report, not a case.” From his legal point of view, “No prosecutor builds a case the way dirty cop-Mueller is going about it. What prosecutor says, ‘Here’s our witness line-up: Michael Flynn, George Papadopoulos, Alex van der Zwaan, Rick Gates, Paul Manafort, Michael Cohen. And what is it that they have in common, ladies and gentlemen of the jury? Bingo! They’re all convicted liars.’”?
McCarthy adds: For a prosecutor, like any trial lawyer, what the jury thinks is at least as important as what the law says. If the most memorable thing the jury takes into the deliberation room is that no one should believe a word your witnesses say, you are not going to convict the lowliest grifter, much less the president of the United States of America. As a prosecutor, you build a case by having your cooperating accomplice witnesses plead guilty to the big scheme you are trying to pin on the main culprit. After all, what makes these witnesses accomplices, literally, is that they were participants in the main culprit’s crime. That’s the scheme you’re trying to prove. … In short, you build a case by first establishing the foundational criminal offense. Juries do not convict people because they like or trust the prosecution’s witnesses. They convict because they are persuaded that justice demands redress for a real crime.
McCarthy believes that dirty cop-Mueller “is not going to indict the president, which would precipitate a trial at some point. The convicted liars are not going to be jury-trial witnesses, so dirty cop-Mueller is not concerned about their lack of credibility. The report will detail disturbing — and thus politically damaging — connections between Trump associates and Kremlin cronies. But there will be no collusion crime, and thus no charges and no need for witnesses.”
Unfortunately, dirty cop-Mueller’s conclusion won’t quell the Left’s politicking. Far from it. ~The Patriot Post

McConnell pans rino-Flake push for
dirty cop-Mueller protection bill as 'futile gesture'
{washingtonexaminer.com} ~ Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., criticized Sen. rino-Jeff Flake, R-Ariz., for withholding his vote on all judges... until a vote on a bill to protect special counsel dirty cop-Robert Mueller comes to the floor, calling it a "futile gesture." "I'm perplexed, frankly, by his pushing for the dirty cop-Mueller protection bill," McConnell said Monday at a Wall Street Journal CEO Council meeting, arguing that it has two problems. Namely, that it is "blatantly unconstitutional" and that it can't pass the House or the executive branch."It strikes me as what I would call a futile gesture," McConnell said. "We're hoping that he'll change his view on that, but I believe we can confirm the judges that are already out on the floor. In recent weeks, rino-Flake has withheld his vote for all judicial nominees coming through the Senate Judiciary Committee, effectively stopping any Trump nominee from making it through given that there are 11 Republicans and 10 Democrats on the panel. However, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, on Monday rescheduled a business meeting to consider 26 judicial nominations. rino-Flake's presence helped stop one nominee already through the committee from being confirmed last week as Thomas Farr, a judge nominated to the federal bench. rino-Flake and Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., announced that they would oppose him....
The Left’s Election Day Analysis:
If We Lost, They Must’ve Cheated
{dailysignal.com} ~ A disturbing trend is emerging from the political left: When their candidates lose elections, rather than accept lawful defeat, they denounce the election itself... In 2016, they explained away President Donald Trump’s victory as the product of Russian meddling. Now, they are blaming election losses in Florida and Georgia on “voter suppression” and other sinister acts. In Florida, Democrat gubernatorial candidate socialist-Andrew Gillum walked back his election night concession, claiming “tens of thousands of votes have yet to be counted,” and told supporters that a “vote denied is justice denied.” scumbag/liar-Hillary Clinton, meanwhile, described the Georgia gubernatorial race as biased against Democrat Stacey Abrams, claiming that if Abrams “had a fair election, she already would have won.” Sen. Sherrod Brown, an Ohio Democrat, announced that Abrams’ apparent defeat was a sure sign that Republicans “stole” her election. Sure enough, when the final tally gave the victory to Republican Brian Kemp, Abrams refused to concede, because “concession means to acknowledge an action is right, true or proper.” Instead, Abrams blamed her defeat on Kemp’s supposed “suppression of the people’s democratic right to vote.”...This is all hack waste, look at just happen in California elections. https://www.dailysignal.com/2018/11/30/the-lefts-election-day-analysis-if-we-lost-they-mustve-cheated/?mkt_tok=eyJpIjoiWmpBeU0yUmlaRGMxWVRrMSIsInQiOiIwdERsYWJKOWFZOWplWmE2OTh5Mk83WUNtNGJmbGlDWkIwdTBNa3VCOWhlQkRWUWVid1lwWXpLdHMwdUVLdDVyZVJBSEUyTW1wUXMra3VLOW9DMWxjZnY5UXY2eHlZbVY1SnFPRlVjWTJkMzVhdlRjWTVyTGlKSndxZTdmVTNqcSJ9.
Paul Manafort discussed deal with Ecuador to
give WikiLeaks' Julian Assange to US: Report
{washingtonexaminer.com} ~ Former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort discussed in May 2017 the possibility of a deal... to hand over WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange to the U.S. with Ecuador’s then-incoming president, Lenin Moreno, according to a report Monday. Multiple meetings took place when Manafort traveled to Ecuador on a trip mainly dedicated to discussing a deal where China would invest in Ecuador’s power system. During these talks Manafort indicated that he could facilitate an arrangement where Assange would move from the Ecuadorian Embassy in London, where he has lived in political asylum since 2012, to the U.S., sources familiar with the discussions told the New York Times. Ecuador reportedly emphasized that they wanted to kick out Assange in exchange for debt relief and other concessions from the U.S. But the conversations got nowhere, and Ecuador has since negotiated with other countries to rid themselves of Assange, who so far remains in their London Embassy. There is no evidence to suggest that Manafort was working on behalf of President Trump or other members of the administration, nor that he even relayed the information to Trump or others. A spokesperson for Manafort said that Moreno had initiated the conversation and expressed “his desire to remove Julian Assange from Ecuador’s embassy.”... https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/paul-manafort-discussed-deal-with-ecuador-to-give-wikileaks-julian-assange-to-us-report?utm_source=breaking_push&utm_medium=app&utm_campaign=push_notifications&utm_source=WEX_Breaking%20News%20Alert_12/03/2018&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=WEX_Breaking%20News.
Heh! Dems Want To Give Tax Break To The Rich
{lidblog.com} ~ After winning control of the U.S. House of Representatives by criticizing Republicans for giving tax cuts to the wealthy... Democrats seem to be practicing hypocrisy because, according to a report in the Washington Times, they are “eyeing their own $620 billion tax break that would go heavily to wealthier Americans.” The newspaper reported that “one high priority for Democrats from northeastern states is to look at rolling back the $10,000 limit on state and local tax deductions included in the Republicans’ 2017 overhaul of the federal tax system.” But middle most middle-class households are protected within that $10,000 limit, take it away, and most of the families being helped are the rich. Not that anyone should really care, but it is an indication of Democratic Party hypocrisy. Per Rep. Kevin Brady of Texas, the outgoing Republican chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, getting rid of the $10,000 cap means a tax cut of about $10 for the middle class. Bills for millionaire households, Brady says, would be reduced by $140,000 a year. This comes as anti-gun Democrats in California are reportedly looking at slapping a tax on the sale of semi-auto firearms to “support community violence prevention programs.” This scheme is the brainchild of Assemblyman Mark Levine (D-Greenbrae), according to the Sacramento Bee. His idea is apparently based on so-called “gun violence taxes” that have been adopted by Chicago and Seattle. They tack on a tax of $25 on the sale of each firearm, along with smaller fees on the sale of ammunition, and Levine’s chief of staff indicated that this may be the proposal... https://lidblog.com/tax-break-for-rich/ .
Grassley reschedules business meeting
to consider judges blocked by rino-Flake
{washingtonexaminer.com} ~ Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, on Monday rescheduled a business meeting to consider 26 judicial nominations... that are being blocked by Sen. rino-Jeff Flake, R-Ariz. But it wasn't clear Monday that rino-Flake was ready to approve them. rino-Flake has said he would oppose the remaining field of President Trump's nominees until the Senate votes on a bill to protect special counsel dirty cop-Robert Mueller from being fired by Trump for political reasons. Senate Republicans have continued to block that bill, and rino-Flake has given no indication that he might soften his position and accept Trump's nominees in the meantime. If he holds to that position, Grassley may end up canceling the business meeting for the nominees, just as he scheduled a meeting a week ago only to cancel it in light of rino-Flake's opposition. rino-Flake's vote is critical because the committee is made up of 11 Republicans and 10 Democrats, and a "no" vote from rino-Flake makes it impossible to approve any of Trump's picks as long as Democrats vote together. I'm very glad that he is leaving..
Demo High Hopes for Mueller's Nothingburgerby Jordan Candler:
Congressional Democrats (and rino-Jeff Flake) hold exceedingly high expectations for Special Counsel dirty cop-Robert Mueller — enough to pursue legislation to neutralize President Donald Trump, who can send dirty cop-Mueller packing if and when he chooses. But as National Review’s Rich Lowry reminds us, any kind of pro-dirty cop-Mueller statute devised by Democrats is on dubious grounds:
Mitch McConnell just did our constitutional order an enormous favor by burying the so-called dirty cop-Robert Mueller protection bill, hopefully never to rise again. … The president is the chief executive, and like it or not, Trump is president. … If the president can fire the attorney general (the ill-used Jeff Sessions attests that he can), he certainly can fire dirty cop-Mueller. The attorney general is a much more important position than the special counsel.
