The rule of law won't matter if they get Trump

The "rule of law" is on a lot of lips these days, but the rule of law is being lost just the same.

The reason the rule of law is being lost is that it is just a cover for destroying it.

There are many examples of this in this Russian election meddling business.  There would not be any controversy if it weren't for the Steele Dossier.   The Dossier was salacious and unverifiable, but was used anyway to get a FISA warrant on Carter Page.  Carter Page could not be wiretapped legally unless it was found that he was a foreign agent.  Besides that, Page would have had to been breaking the law, and thus liable for punishment.  But note that Page was not charged with a crime.  Furthermore, without the FISA warrant, it is doubtful that there would be any Special Prosecutor- Bob Mueller.

Now, we are at the point where, a tape that has been obtained by a search warrant initiated by the Mueller investigation, is going to be used to cause political damage to Trump.  This violates not only attorney client privilege, but there still hasn't been any crime demonstrated.  How then are they in the position of obtaining this tape?  Even the production of the tape was a violation of Trump's rights.  Indeed, throughout all of this story regarding Russia, no crime has been detected that had anything to do with the 2016 election.  But clear violations of the law have occurred so that political points could be scored.  Rule of law?  What law?

Incidentally, this was all predictable when Mueller was appointed.  It was inevitable that this investigation would produce such an outcome.  The real target is Trump.  There does not have to be a crime.  It is the politics that matter.

The real crime as far as this one party government is concerned, is that Hillary lost the election.  But to justify this "investigation", it is said that it is necessary to protect the rule of law and democracy.  This is an out and out lie.  The real point is to reverse the outcome of an election.

The rule of law is what protects the citizens against a rogue government.  What does the citizenry do when a government goes rogue?  Why bother to vote if the vote isn't honored?

It won't matter that none of the convictions obtained by Mueller's crew will hold up under scrutiny.  If this conspiracy succeeds in deposing Trump, a subsequent lawful ruling that he was wronged won't matter.  The rule of law would have been used to circumvent the rule of law, and to subvert democratic rule.  All the more reason to shut it down now.

It should be obvious.  It is politics, not law.
