One can learn a lot by listening to what people say and sometimes what they don\u2019t say.\u00a0 Deputy Attorney General Rosenstein briefed the Senate.\u00a0 All of the Senators who commented said the briefing was serious.<\/p>\n

Democrats were not exactly singing Rosenstein\u2019s praises after this briefing.\u00a0 All he told them is that Trump is not personally under investigation, he has no evidence of any interference with the Russian involvement in the election and by the way, this is now a criminal investigation.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t assume that Mueller will spend much if any time investigating alleged collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.\u00a0 The only justification for investigating this is as a counter intelligence operation.\u00a0 No one has even alleged anything even hinted at remotely resembles a crime.\u00a0 CNN make think it\u2019s a crime that Donald Trump beat Hillary Clinton, but causing indigestion on the part of liberals is not the legal definition of a crime. \u00a0Alan Dershowitz figured this out and he is very frightened:<\/p>\n

http:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/opinion\/2017\/05\/18\/dershowitz-dont-glorify-special-counsel.html<\/u><\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cIt would not be criminal, even if it happened, for the Trump campaign to have collaborated with the Russians in an effort to get their candidate elected. It would have been wrong but not criminal.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Dershowitz goes on to admit that NOTHING Trump has done is even potentially a crime.\u00a0 Then he writes the following:<\/p>\n

\u201cA special counsel has a very different goal: deciding whether to prosecute particular individuals. At this point in our history, learning the truth may be more important than prosecuting questionable cases\u201d<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

In other words, Mueller was hired to prosecute people suspected of a crime.\u00a0 The only crime we know of right now is the leaking of the phone call between Michael Flynn and the Russian Ambassador.\u00a0 I doubt that Mueller was brought in to prosecute Michael Flynn for anything.\u00a0 The FBI could have done that and no one in either party would have said a word.\u00a0 So, odds are that Mueller was brought in to investigate someone or something so toxic that Rosenstein felt a Special Counsel was required.<\/p>\n

Mueller can and will tell congressional hearings to back off because they are interfering with a criminal investigation.\u00a0 That is how Eric Holder got congress to back off on investigating Fast & Furious.\u00a0 He is not going to be holding press conferences; he is going to be empaneling secret grand juries and conducting a criminal investigation.\u00a0 People who have been illegally leaking classified information to the press should be very afraid.\u00a0 People who leaked the names of U.S. citizens illegally unmasked because of counter-intelligence surveillance programs would be wise to lawyer up.\u00a0 There are a lot of people who should be very afraid.\u00a0 I doubt that very many of them had any connection to the Trump campaign.<\/p>\n
