Mueller Indicts A Ham Sandwich
[POWERLINEBLOG] Attorney Eric Dubelier speaks on behalf of Concord Management. Dubelier evinces a sardonic attitude to the case. When discussion turns to the question whether he represents Concord Catering (another charged Russian entity), Dubelier states: “I think we’re dealing with the government having indicted the proverbial ham sandwich. That company didn’t exist as a legal entity during the time period alleged by the government.” Dubelier, however, is big about it. “If at some later time [the government] shows me that it did exist, we would probably represent them. But for the purpose of today, no, we do not.”

Dubelier in any event entered a plea of not guilty on behalf of Concord Management. We will be following this case as closely as possible.

#1  I thought he indicted thirteen ham sandwiches. Wonder if during discovery he will find Russian dressing?

If Mueller indicts Russians he will HAVE to interview Putin to get to the top of this branch of the investigation?

Can we indict Obama for getting elected because George Soros spent trillions meddling in the US elections, too?

#2  I do not think Mueller will enjoy the Star Chamber Process coming his way right now.

#3  Is Mueller sacrificing small animals while praying for a Democratic Majority in the Fall?

#4  Worse yet for Mueller, apparently some of those Rooshuns he indicted are planning on showing up in court. I'd love to listen in on Team Mueller's staff meeting on that.

#5  The indicted company may not have existed as a 'legal entity' at the time alleged, but was it an identifiable-but-not-yet-incorporated entity?

#6  Mueller assumes that he can bend the law to his will. The ends justifies the means defense. It works both ways. He shouldn’t go down that road.

#7  He indicted a ham sandwich that had not even been made until after the 2016 election.

Romney denounces pastor slated to speak at US embassy in Jerusalem
[The Hill] Senate candidate and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney (R) on Sunday night denounced the pastor expected to speak at Monday's ceremony celebrating the opening of the new U.S. embassy in Jerusalem.

"Robert Jeffress says 'you can’t be saved by being a Jew,' and 'Mormonism is a heresy from the pit of hell.' He’s said the same about Islam. Such a religious bigot should not be giving the prayer that opens the United States Embassy in Jerusalem," Romney tweeted.

Jeffress, a Dallas-based pastor and known supporter of President Trump, said over the weekend that he would be leading the prayer at the dedication of the new embassy. Trump announced in December that he was relocating the embassy to Jerusalem, a move that drew international condemnation and sparked concerns of a widening conflict in the Middle East.

According to a report from Haaretz, Jeffress has made derogatory remarks about Islam in the past, calling it "a religion that promotes pedophilia" and a "heresy from the pit of hell."

#1  Trump is right about a lot of things because he has a keen sense for truth. So does Jeffress. Romney's political correctness is not truth. But New Testament theology could just be truth. Ulaigum Ebbineng7056, Member of First Baptist Church Dallas

#2  I can't remember anything good coming out of Massachusetts lately. Perhaps I should watch a bit closer.

#3  Book of Mormons which is the foundation of the Mormon Church was written by a guy by the name of John Smith, the husband to 40 wives.

If I read right, Jewish leaders ordered Christ to be crucified.

Islam, well, no explanation necessary.

#4  Those who point the finger and cry "bigot" are confessing what "bigots" and fools they are.
The truth is not biased nor "bigoted".
Those who decry the truth worship at the alter of the lie of "political correctness",
and have aligned themselves with the all the mainstream media who condemn anyone who would dare to speak the "politically incorrect" truth
and have become like all others who suffer Trump derangement syndrome.
Here I voted for Romney in 2012.
If Romney had won in 2012 we would have been saved from 4 years of Obama.
But Romney would have lost to Hillary in 2016 in a landslide and there would be no Trump in 2016.
But Trump has come in 2016 to be the the Ester of this world "for such a time as this" to save the world from the Hamans of this world.
I listen to Pastor Jeffress regularly on TBN and other stations.
Pastor Jeffress is not shy about the truth.
Trump can be loose with the truth, but as a leader does not suffer fools lightly.

#5  Jesus was a Jew.

#6  According to a report from Haaretz, Jeffress has made derogatory remarks about Islam in the past, calling it "a religion that promotes pedophilia"

Mainstream Islamic doctrine says that Mohammed was leading an exemplary life and should be emulated by the faithful.

Mainstream Islamic historiography says that Mohammed had sexual relations that would be classified as criminal pedophilia in most Western nations including the US.

#1  It starts to become obvious that subsidized migration is all about "elite" rent seeking and they don't give a shit about the effects on the proles.

Syria-Lebanon-Iran
More on John Kerry's trip to Paris and meet with Iranians
[Powdered Wig Society] This is how you can tell the Iran nuclear deal was a steaming pile of Barack Hussein from the start.

On Saturday, John Kerry was seen hanging out with Iranian diplomats who are threatening to release the names of Western officials who received bribe money to see the Iran nuke treaty signed and implemented. They also vowed to reveal the amounts paid to those bribed officials.

In return for their continued silence, the Iranians are demanding that European leaders pressure President Trump into fully complying with the one-sided agreement that saw billions of dollars given to Iran in return for the promise to abandon its nuclear weapons development program, a promise already broken, proven by a half ton of documents seized by Israeli intelligence.

#4  I wonder how much they paid Baraq.

And I wonder how much of it was in advance - all these campaign funds.

#5  And I wonder how much of it was in advance - all these campaign funds.

All those tens-of-thousands of unchecked $25 credit card donations...

#6  Hey Barack if you are reading this, the danger of being buddies with seedy characters is you are recipient of their form of brutal justice if when they turn on you. And you can't dial 911 because you were breaking laws with these bad dudes and they would take you down with them, bro.
