Another data point for just how rigged the Mueller kangaroo court is.
We already know that Clinton and Obama judges have allowed Mueller and his cronies to get away with grotesque abuses of authority. Including violating attorney-client privilege.
Howell is an Obama appointee and a former Leahy adviser. Beryl and her husband are both Dem donors. She’s also a pal of Obama’s former DOJ boss, Lorretta Lynch. And of Andrew Weissmann.
Weissmann, an Obama donor, is a key member of Mueller’s team.
And Judge Howell gave Mueller his grand jury and decided that Manafort wasn’t entitled to attorney-client privilege. It was an extraordinary and troubling decision. And its legitimacy can’t help but be questioned when it comes from a partisan Dem figure.
It was seemingly Weissman, Howell’s old friend, who decided to shred Manafort’s attorney-client privilege. And Weissman has been described as being very friendly with Loretta Lynch.
Mueller's team is loaded with Obama and Clinton people.
The Mueller team already includes no shortage of Clinton and Obama donors. Jeannie Rhee is a Clinton donor who represented the Clinton Foundation. Aaron Zebley had represented Justin Cooper, a senior Clinton adviser, who helped run Hillary's email server. James Quarles, Rush Atkinson and Elizabeth Prelogar are Hillary donors. Andrew Weissmann and Brandon Van Grack are Obama donors.
And now we're discovering that the grand jury is just as bad.
The federal grand jury handing down indictments for special counsel Robert Mueller doesn’t appear to include any supporters of President Donald Trump, according to one witness who recently testified before the panel.
“The grand jury room looks like a Bernie Sanders rally,” my source said. “Maybe they found these jurors in central casting, or at a Black Lives Matterrally in Berkeley [Calif.]”
Of the 20 jurors, 11 are African-Americans and two were wearing “peace T-shirts,” the witness said. “There was only one white male in the room, and he was a prosecutor.” Mueller was not present.
While race shouldn't matter, white men are statistically more likely to be Trump supporters. Barring them from the jury looks like selective political screening to create a jury made up of people most likely to be politically opposed to President Trump.
And that's a problem.
If two of the jurors were wearing shirts with left-wing political slogans to an anti-Trump legal proceeding, that raises a huge question about its legitimacy.
But kangaroo courts are inherently illegitimate. This just tells us that an illegitimate process has produced an illegitimate grand jury. And that all its results should be considered tainted and illegitimate.
