He did discover that Manafort committed crimes. Do you think he should just get away with them now because I can't even think what because Mueller shouldn't have discovered them? Because he still did launder money. You paid your taxes while he thumbed his nose at you for being a fool. That's just groovy man. Cuz ....trump...shrugs.....
But scream about justice and locking her up.
What ever...

He didnt have authority to investigate them in the fist place.

The point is that people should not be subject to a full investigation of their lives to find a crime they may have committed if there are no lawful grounds to start an investigation into them in the first place.

It might seem like the ends justify the means, but it's incredibly dangerous to a free society to have a govt that can scrutinize your entire life because it thinks you might have done something wrong at some point in your life. That approach leaves the people open to massive govt overreach and corruption and opens the door to targeting individuals or groups for 'special' treatment.

There should be no breaking of the law to enforce the law.

Real problem with Mueller investigation is, that it is a one sided political mission, defined so by DoJ. To investigate Trump, but not Clinton. That already is a partisan hack.

Then the mission being open ended, with regards to anything discovered on that path. This literally gives green light to pure witch hunt. And that is truly wicked.

So, there is not too much justice in that Justice Department. Rosenstein having defined all this as it is - and that for sure is not a coincidence - this means he works with an agenda. Ankr should be fired.

As far as Mueller goes I agree.

As for clinton and everything else that it being handled by the Inspector General for the DOJ and Sessions assigned Huber (prosecutor out of the Utah office) to assist. They are the ones investigating all the crap the Obama DOJ covered up with regards tot heir own crimes and Clinton.
