Ron Paul: The Mueller Indictments & The Triumph Of The Deep State
Posted on 7/16/18 at 1:40 pm
Posted on 7/16/18 at 1:40 pm
"Other factions of the deep state are determined to undermine any of President Trump’s actions they perceive as threatening. Any move toward peace with Russia is surely something they feel to be threatening. There are hundreds of billions of reasons – otherwise known as dollars – why the Beltway military-industrial complex is terrified of peace breaking out with Russia and will do whatever it takes to prevent that from happening.
That is why Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein’s indictment on Friday of 12 Russian military intelligence officers for allegedly interfering in the 2016 US presidential election should immediately raise some very serious questions.
First the obvious: after more than a year of investigations which have publicly revealed zero collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia, why drop this bombshell of an allegation at the end of the news cycle on the last business day before the historic Trump/Putin meeting in Helsinki? The indictment could not have been announced a month ago or in two weeks? Is it not suspicious that now no one is talking about reducing tensions with Russia but is all of a sudden – thanks to Special Counsel Robert Mueller – talking about increasing tensions?
Unfortunately most Americans don't seem to understand that indictments are not evidence. In fact they are often evidence-free, as is this indictment.
Did the Russian government seek to interfere in the 2016 US presidential elections? It’s certainly possible, however we don’t know. None of the Justice Department’s assertions have been tested in a court of law, as is thankfully required by our legal system. It is not enough to make an allegation, as Mueller has done. You have to prove it.
That is why we should be very suspicious of these new indictments. Mueller knows he will never have to defend his assertions in a court of law so he can make any allegation he wants.
It is interesting that one of the Russian companies indicted by Mueller earlier this year surprised the world by actually entering a “not guilty” plea and demanding to see Mueller’s evidence. The Special Counsel proceeded to file several motions to delay the hand-over of his evidence. What does Mueller have to hide?
Meanwhile, why is no one talking about the estimated 100 elections the US government has meddled in since World War II? Maybe we need to get our own house in order?"

That dude rocks the house. He was easily the voice of reason in the Senate.

I saw it was Ron, and edited.

You can indict a ham sandwich.

Too bad Ron, and likely Rand, will never be president.
I love Trump, but either of those two would've been GOAT.

Maybe the establishment, but I don't know many republican voters that hated him. They may not have preferred him but he certainly stands up for principles that many of us espouse to this day.

The timing of DoJ’s arrest today is absolutely no less suspect.

Ron Paul is a breath of fresh air.

If this is all part of Trump's long game to establish world peace and stop the industrial war complex, why does he sabre-rattle and brag about increasing defense spending at every opportunity.
This idea that the Deep State is chasing after and indicting spies as a grand plot to increase defense spending is laughable.

Why is this laughable when the FBI routinely creates terror plots to arrest citizens so they can justify their budget? War is a racket my friend. Liberals used to believe that. Now they worship the agencies most prone to war and spying, all because of their hatred of one man.

God I love that guy.
Can’t believe republicans picked McCain over him in 2008.

The only thing that is laughable is your understanding of the state.

Of all the massive contradictions and flip flops the Democratic Party has engaged in recently this is the most fascinating one to me.
Somehow they loathe local police and fricking worship national police at the same time. I long for the day when the Left was (rightly) skeptical of the government's BS during the Bush years.
