Lawless Special Counsels

"And when the last law was cut down, and the devil turned 'round on you, where would you hide, the laws all being flat?"
--Sir Thomas More (A Man for All Seasons)

Judge Nap notes two of the most glaring problems with the Mueller investigation--and with nearly all 'special counsel' investigations for that matter. One is the FISA warrant charade. By seeking a search warrant via the FISA court, investigators circumvent the Fourth Amendment requirement to produce evidence of probable cause. This is clearly unconstitutional.

The other involves the practice of indicting 'low level' individuals in the investigative food chain--often of trivial crimes unrelated to the investigation--and then offering them leniency in exchange for information that the prosecution can use against 'high level' individuals in the investigative food chain.

This is a form of bribery. You tell us what we want to hear on the witness stand and we'll go easy on you. The courts have granted only prosecutors with the ability to commit such bribery. If a defense counsel offered a gift to a witness in exchange for favorable testimony, that attorney would be indicted.

People tend to look the other way when this lawlessness occurs in pursuit of an enemy. You can bet that those same people will view the process differently when the counsel turns on them and their interests.
