The cows are coming home to roost...

Bad news days for all the Trump lovers and Hillary haters.

Navarro is subpoenaed by the DOJ and Sussman is found not guilty in the Durham trial.

They had high hopes that Hillary was going to go to jail for the Russian "hoax" but the jury did not buy what they were selling.

Navarro wanted everyone to believe it was just a minute amount of arsenic in the drink and it was not poisonous. Stealing an election and obstructing Congress in its official duties was no big deal. It was just like a football play in the NFL - the Green Bay Swipe.

It's still early in the day.

A jury damned well ought to acquit.

Durham should be up for malicious prosecution, and face the sentence his intended victim would have received....

After all, they already had General Flynn lying to them about communicating with the Russians and lying about it.

So much for Trump's "Russian hoax".

The gist of the allegation, what was supposed to make it a crime, is that Mr. Sussman had an ulterior motive for tipping the authorities, which he did not disclose. People are supposed to draw the inference that, had he disclosed it, his information would have been dismissed. This is arrant nonesense. Police do not inquire about a tipster's motive, it does not matter a rap whether an informant is prompted by civic duty or malice. The information will be looked into, and judged on its merits. Everyone, and that includes any prosecutor, knows this. Durham ought to be discharged, disbarred, and pelted with garbage at every opportunity.

Trump kept talking about the Russian "hoax" but Durham said nothing about a "hoax". At times, it seemed like Trump was trying to squeeze information out of Durham that he did not have. He may have discovered that there was more to the Trump/Russia connection than Mueller had discovered? He may not have been as friendly to Trump as Trump wanted people to believe? Just a hunch. The acquittal does not reflect very well on the story that Trump wanted Durham to tell.

not swipe, although I'm guessing you juxtaposed on purpose, as it involved STEALING.

Just show that you can lead a horse to water but you can't force it to make a silk purse out of a pig in a poke after the cat's been let out of the bag even with the whole nine yards that have been stitched in time, which waits for no man on an island.

But a GJ Subpoena is a completely different animal (cow) than a Congressional one. At least it is to DFJ's squad.

My guess is he will try to stall/delay and then when he's forced to comply, he will take the 5th.

We shall see.
