RE: Conflict of Interest Surrounds The Election Investigation
I think this may well be a strategic move by the Trump administration. Insofar as there is a conflict of interest that remains unresolved by recusal, any failure by Mueller to provide damning proof of Russian collusion, or obstruction of justice, will be undeniable, by those whose tools Mueller and Comey are, that there is no such proof.
Even after this is proved, the failure to recuse himself can be used to bring down Mueller.
Clearly, I don't swim in the same pool as these fishes. Such facts and uses of them as I present may be without value. I don't know, am not a lawyer, but, frankly, I couldn't care less.
The America people aren't lawyers either. They won't care (or will be outraged instead) that these issues aren't legal means to prosecute. They will know that they matter nonetheless, and will detest the crooks, maybe even more than if the book were thrown at them.
good commentary.
I had been thinking of a post on what I think Trump's long term strategy is, which i think is along the terms you note (Also on things like the judicial subversion of his actions, etc)
the problem is that I don't believe in what I think. I'd like to see Trump go hard after somebody, at least. So it's hard to write what my brains says yes to while my heart says no.
Sadly, I think this is what it will come down to; I will like the result, I'm sure of that, but i don't think I'll like the process
