Show us the Laws
It is unclear what the Special Counsel is tasked to do in
his investigation. It seems the first
step is to determine what laws might have been broken.
The question of Russian interference to affect the 2016 US
Presidential election should tie to some law that prohibits this. But in 1996,
the Chinese government gave Bill Clinton $1 million campaign contribution and I
don’t remember that being investigated.
So, I must assume no law exists to prohibit this.
The question of collusion between the Trump campaign and
the Russians might revolve around the leaked emails from John Podesta, but
Wikileaks says they came from a DNC staffer. Again, what law would this have
violated? Is there a law that prohibits
this?
There is an accusation that Trump “obstructed justice” by
telling Comey to drop the Flynn investigation is questionable.. But Trump says
he didn’t do that and there is no proof that he did. If Comey thought this was
“obstruction of justice” he was required to report it at the time, but he
didn’t.
The question of the firing of Comey by Trump had two
messages that are both probably true.
Sessions and Rosenstein probably did send Trump a letter recommending
that Comey be fired. Trump probably did
want to replace Comey. Is there a law against firing federal employees?
The question of Trump giving information to the Russian
Ambassador to help them understand information about the Syrian conflict is not
a violation, because the President can legally share information with other
countries.
If there are no laws that were broken in these events, then
why is the FBI involved?
There is the leak of Flynn’s name to the newspapers that is
a violation of federal law. Will the FBI
find the leaker?
