Mueller Grand Jury Looks Like A Bernie Sanders Rally
2018-01-03
BLUF:
[Hot Air] "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 Matter rally 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...

Sol Wachtler, the former chief judge in New York, once called for abolishing grand juries because they are so easily manipulated that they would "indict a ham sandwich."

My source said, "That room isn’t a room where POTUS gets a fair shake."

#6  And that reminds me of a Polish joke. A Polish linguistics student was doing research in the deep South on the local accents & language variations. He was trying to see if he could pass himself off as a true Southerner. He went into a store and asked for some "'taters, 'nanas, and 'maters". The storekeeper replied, "You're Polish, aren't you?" The crestfallen student said, "How did you know?" Storekeeper: "This is a hardware store."

#5  For some reason I'm reminded of an old joke.
CIA agent been training for 10 years for a mission in Russia. Well, he arrives in Moscow, walks into a bar, sits at the counter and orders. After the third vodka the bartender comes over and says "You're a CIA agent, right?", "No. I'm an ordinary Russian Ivan Ivanovich Ivanov - do I look like a CIA agent?" Bartender: "Well, you're dressed like a Russian, you walk like a Russian, you speak like a Russian, and you drink like a Russian.". Agent: "so what's the problem?". Bartender: "You're black!"

#4  If I recall Bernie rallies were whiter than a KKK convention.

#3  That is scary. I dunno, will this crazy witch hunt self-destruct or does it need help?

#2  It's nice, but anyone semi-competent prosecutor can pack a grand jury for an indictment. Getting a conviction is another matter particularly when its all predicated upon tainted materials. So, its all show. Dragged into 2018 to be released but not resolved just in time for the mid-terms. Like Alabama, its to suppress Trunk turnout. Trunks had better learn, its all about POWER never about principle.

#1  My source said, “That room isn’t a room where POTUS gets a fair shake.”

I think we can be reasonably certain a "fair shake" was never the intent.

I know it sounds outlandish and totally off-the-wall, but now that things have quieted down a bit, perhaps Mr. Mueller could spare a couple of his legal sleuths to have a look into the unsolved Seth Rich murder.
