    Yeah! ... Uh, no. Mueller will simply threaten to freeze assets, and bank accounts, and subpoena Manafort associates just for the sake of harassment. Mueller and Bharara's standard operating procedure.

    I haven't a clue as to what Richard Spencers reaction might be, but as your obsession with the alt right is quite notable, I'll take you at your word. Muellers actions, and lack of results speak for themselves. He's on a witch hunt, and leftists couldn't be more pleased.

    Mueller is just doing his job.

    LMAO at all of these pathetic APOLOGISTS.

    Trump needs to go. (By any means necessary, short of physical harm).

    Were Manafort's loans clear by 2016?

    No. Your purposeful effort to dismiss the fact that Mueller has undertaken another malicious prosecution isn't my problem. Mueller can't be granted immunity from the crimes he's committing for the sake of his failed investigation.

    Yeah, I'm pretty steadfast in my opposition of the police states abuses of authority, and trampling on citizens rights. Put that in my principles column.

    Sure it does... but not in context of the federal election law, which covers donations, contributions and by "things of value" it means things like, cars, trucks, furniture, pieces of art and other valuables, not information. A campaign song has value, see if you can prosecute someone for playing a "foreign" Beatles song during a campaign event. LOL

    The idea is so beyond absurd that even lib talking heads, pundits and propagandists stopped peddling it a few days ago, it's just too embarrassing for them to associate with such a beyond the pale ludicrous legal theory, they instead rely on their half-witted "internet" warriors to keep making utter fools of themselves.

    That said, your equating the applicability of opposition research to the federal election law with Snowden stealing and outing top government secrets is in a league of its own in terms of absurdity and ludicrousness. You win this trophy by a large margin. :D

    Just ignoring the fact Muellers already subpoenaed bank records in advance of his intentions to freeze assets, won't change it. Mueller has probably already composed Manaforts written confession, he's simply looking for an appropriate phone book to use to coerce Manafort into signing it.

    Yes, I already acknowledged that leftists would accept extortion as a necessary tool to achieve it's political goals. Though you specify except by physical means, I think you'd support sleep deprivation and water boarding too. Mueller only needs to employ sucn means to disover how fully leftists will support such tactics, given the right set of circumstances.

    Were they accrued 10 years earlier, in anticipation of forgiveness in 2016? Behold the preposterous ...

    Mueller has subpoenaed bank records in the course of an investigation. (and that is scaring the crap out of Trump and his Trumpers). Any claim if "freezing assets" is pure fantasy unless you know something about Trump and illegal international financial occurrences.

    Did they still exist in 2016? Because THAT is what matters. He may have had a "problem" for ten years and only recently found his "solution" to that problem

    I know such tactics have been employed by Mueller, and his Preet Bharara hit squad hires. I've also provided links that Bharara secured convictions onlt to have them tossed on appeal. Unfortunately victims of malicious prosecutions never fully recover from them despite vindication on appeal.

    Great. Give us the circumstances. In what investigation were assets frozen?

    Oh and having a conviction overturned on appeal is NOT that unusual. I fact it's rather common

    100% FABRICATION on your part!

    :roflol:

    Are all extremist alt rightists such snowflakes when it comes to dealing with the crimes of their beloved "god-emperor"?

    :roflol:

    It is an INVESTIGATION!

    If your BLOTUS has done nothing wrong he will be EXONERATED. The same applies to Manafort, Flynn, Kushner and little Donny jr!

    No you are acting as though they are all GUILTY!

    No wonder you BLOTUS wants to pardon himself and his entire criminal clan!

    You've obviously mistaken me for your research assistant. The topic however is Muellers current investigation, and the tactics he's employing to coerce potential witnesses.

    I read it and it makes no sense. Spell it out. What is Mueller trying to "extort" and where is his extortion statement?

    Oh and please document that asset thing as well...

    I'm not seeing extortion there.

    I DO see an investigation
