[...] In an interview with CBSN on Sunday, Mariotti said that until now, Mueller and his investigators were looking into fairly "narrow" and "specific crimes." "Things like false disclosures on forms that Mr. Manafort or Michael Flynn made or Jared Kushner; things like obstruction as to the <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/james-comey-donald-trump-relationship-timeline/" target="_blank">firing of James Comey</a>. For the first time here, what we've learned -- assuming that The Wall Street Journal's report about a search warrant is correct -- is that Bob Muller went to a federal judge and presented evidence and convinced the judge that a crime was committed involving foreign individuals contributing to a political election here in the United States through their actions on Facebook," Mariotti told CBS News' Elaine Quijano. [...] [emphasis added] </blockquote> <h3><a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/mueller-obtains-warrant-for-russia-linked-facebook-ads-and-accounts-2017-9" target="_blank" title="">Mueller just obtained a warrant that could change the entire nature of the Russia investigation</a></h3> by <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/author/natasha-bertrand">Natasha Bertrand</a>, businessinsider.com — Sept 16, 2017 <blockquote> [...] Legal experts say the revelation [of the Facebook warrant] has enormous implications for the trajectory of Mueller's investigation into Russia's election interference, and whether Moscow had any help from President Donald Trump's campaign team. "This is big news — and potentially bad news for the Russian election interference 'deniers,'" <a href="https://twitter.com/AshaRangappa_/status/909051809657966592" target="_blank">said Asha Rangappa</a>, a former FBI counterintelligence agent. Rangappa, now an associate dean at Yale Law School, explained that to obtain a search warrant a prosecutor needs to prove to a judge that there is reason to believe a crime has been committed. The prosecutor then has to show that the information being sought will provide evidence of that crime. [...] "The key here, though, is that Mueller clearly already has enough information on these accounts — and their link to a potential crime to justify forcing [Facebook] to give up the info," she said. "That means that he has uncovered a great deal of evidence through other avenues of Russian election interference." [...] [emphasis added] </blockquote> As the evidence is piling up, the Trump-enablers are having some “<a href="http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/russia-probes-leave-trump-associates-struggling-with-huge-legal-bills/article/2634655" target="_blank">second thoughts</a>” about the course they’ve chosen. And the fact that they have been seemingly “hung out to dry,” by the Billionaire with a heart of stone.

Tonight we take a step forward in reclaiming our country. But it is just a step. The election is not over. We must not slacken! All over the country, GOP dirty tricks (and possibly one or two fro, our side) are undermining the democratic voting system of our republic. People are committing felonies, folks! No different that street crime, but with more victims. We need to find the perpetrators, convict them and throw their asses in jail. Every single one of them. No amnesty, No mercy, no forgiveness! And we have to do more (under the fold). rss@dailykos.com (MakeChessNotWar) Campaign2008 Campaign2010 electioncrimes KnightsofColumbus Mormons _652791 Tue, 04 Nov 2008 20:58:08 +0000
