Robert S. Mueller III Testimony Before Congress


Recommended Posts

If a tree falls in the forest and nobody’s there to hear it, does it make a sound?  What a ludicrous statement from some people who are supposed to be our best legal minds? We are ALL innocent until proven guilty! Or at least we used to be.

So what will be the narrative when absolutely NOTHING new is presented?

 

 

 

Nothing is going to change after today.

 

The Left Wingers will continue asking to start impeachment proceedings, and the Right will continue to defend Trump.

OJ is indeed innocent. That’s how are System works. When people stop accepting that, we have a real problem. But then again you’ve  yet to accept the  results of the 2016 election either.

There's a difference between being innocent and not being proven guilty.

What is that difference in our system of justice?

 

Our system of justice is innocent until proven guilty. Saying someone wasn't proven to be be not guilty is quite literally a nonsense statement -- unless you're advocating undermining our entire system of justice.

When a jury delivers a decision, do they say "innocent", or "not guilty"?

 

I get what you're saying, I'm just pointing out that the jury for OJ never said he was innocent. He was never exonerated.

Thank you! That fact is apparently lost on a lot of people these days. The defendant walks into the court room INNOCENT and if they walk out they are still and forever more will be INNOCENT. Some folks need to be accused of something one day and see if they want to try that shoe on their foot.

Innocent until PROVEN guilty. A jury renders its verdict after a trial. A prosecutor, which Mueller was, does not render exonerations. That's not at all how the system works. Suggesting Mueller "didn't clear Trump by not charging him" is in fact incorrect. By not charging him, by stating that there was not evidence found to support the Russia collusion theory, Mueller did clear Trump. 

 

He remains innocent, not guilty. Mueller's probe proved it. 

 

Unless you want to subvert our system of justice which many TDS suffers do because "TRUMP IS A NAZI"

At least OJ wasn't a traitor. A fifth columnist against our democracy.

We literally are down to "You can't totally prove he is a traitor!"

I'm talking about OJ Simpson.

 

Sure, you enter a courtroom with the presumption of innocence, but a jury's decision to convict someone comes down to whether prosecutors present enough evidence to determine that they are guilty. In the event they don't meet that threshold, you leave the courtroom "not guilty". 

 

Also, Mueller never said there wasn't enough evidence against Trump. He did say that if he felt Trump didn't commit any crimes, he'd have said so, but he never said that.

Hilarious! Actually we don’t really know whether OJ was or is a traitor. He’s never been investigated. For purposes of discussion we’ll assume he’s not. But....we do now know that Trump isn’t one. Irony is a concept that’s completely lost on you.

So in Rober world you’d have people forever labeled as having been accused of things that they were never convicted of? Nice!

That's not how it works. 

 

And Mueller knows that.

Nadler leads off saying Mueller's indictments spoke for him... 

 

And not a single indictment was about collusion or obstruction or the 2016 campaign. Not one.

Not necessarily. I think the court of public opinion makes decisions on a case by case basis.

 

OJ is widely believed to have committed a brutal double homicide. I can live with him having been labelled a murder, even though a jury didn't convict him.

Mueller said that he wasn't allowed to indict a sitting President in his report.

 

He's left the entire thing up to Congress, and they haven't done anything.

Social Media has turned the Court of Public Opinion into a three ring circus. You’d better pray you’re never accused of something or your life will be forever ruined.

Hey! We actually agree on something. ? I knew we’d find common ground. So can we work on fixing the roads now?

To summarize his opening statement.

 

1. The Russians systematically interfered with the election.

 

2. The Trump campaign did not collude with the Russians. 

 

3. The Trump White House may have obstructed justice. It's on Congress to establish that conclusively.

Mueller says he can't talk about the origin of the probe or the Steele Dossier today... 

 

:lol: 

 

No.... don't want to talk about the ACTUAL issues. Because this is a show.

 

Unreal.

 

So he can't comment on some issues that occurred a few months before he was appointed SC, but had no problem indicting people for unrelated crimes that occurred years before he was appointed SC.

2. Yes they did, obstruction of justice hid the truth

Nadler starts off with Obstruction... not collusion/conspiracy. 

 

This after three years of saying there was evidence of both. :lol: 

This is the judiciary committee, intelligence is the second hearing, its backwards, which is dumb
