CNN | "Like me, most Americans hope
that our justice system is independent and free of political
interference," Corker said in a statement Friday afternoon. "President
Trump's pressuring of the Justice Department and FBI to pursue cases
against his adversaries and calling for punishment before trials take
place are totally inappropriate and not only undermine our justice
system but erode the American people's confidence in our institutions."
It is the third time in recent weeks Corker has been highly critical of the President. The Tennessee Republican announced in September that he's not running for re-election.
kunstler | What America might want to know right now is: how come Hillary
Clinton doesn’t have any legal problems? Why aren’t DOJ investigators
examining the financial records of the Clinton Foundation? You would
think somebody would want to find out how over $120 million of Russian
“charitable donations” ended up on its ledgers around the time that
Secretary of State HRC approved the Uranium One deal — compared to
which, Bill Clinton’s $500,000 payment from a Russian bank for giving a
speech around the same time just looks like walking-around money.
This is not to mention (well, I will) the flow of donations from
Saudi Arabia pending approval of a major arms deal by HRC. Or of myriad
other donations from foreign nationals tendered simply for face-time
with the Secretary. Has any other cabinet officer in US history run a
money-gathering org while serving? I don’t think so. Maybe the arrant
selling of influence right out-front strains the credulity of government
auditors. And while we’re at this, I would like to know how then-FBI
director Robert Mueller and President Obama might have been informed
about these activities. Or not?
Mr. Mueller also needs to answer about his relationship with former
FBI director James Comey — he was apparently Mr. Comey’s mentor — while
Mr. Comey needs to answer for his peculiar and probably lawless behavior
in dismissing the investigation around HRC’s private email server —
that was not his decision to make — and the notorious meeting at the
Phoenix airport of former president Bill Clinton and Attorney General
Loretta Lynch around the same time the email investigation under Mr.
Comey came to a head.
Now comes the news from Donna Brazille, on-again-off-again Democrat
Party chair, that the primary elections were elaborately rigged by HRC
functionaries to buy control of her nomination. Let’s not even go into
the bidding for the Christopher Steele “dossier” alleging kinky sexual
romps in Moscow by Donald Trump, or the activities in Ukraine of Tony
Podesta’s DC lobbying company — that’s Tony, brother of John Podesta,
Clinton campaign chief, whose emails remain a truffle cache for the
rooting dogs of the DOJ, if they were actually on-the-task.
