Grasping At Strawmen

Also fake news & racial bullshit, from the gossip column of Rupert Murdoch's New York Post.

The federal grand jury handing down indictments for special counsel Robert Mueller doesn’t appear to include any supporters of President Donald Trump, according to one witness who recently testified before the panel.

“The grand jury room looks like a Bernie Sanders rally,” my source said. “Maybe they found these jurors in central casting, or at a Black Lives Matter rally in Berkeley [Calif.]”

Of the 20 jurors, 11 are African-Americans and two were wearing “peace T-shirts,” the witness said. “There was only one white male in the room, and he was a prosecutor.” Mueller was not present.

The Washington, DC, grand jury, which meets only on Fridays, handed down its first indictments in October, charging Paul Manafort, Trump’s former campaign chairman, and his partner Rick Gates with money laundering and failing to register as foreign agents. The two are pleading not guilty.

Mueller’s team is expected to bring more charges against Manafort relating to his work on behalf of the Ukrainian government in the years before Trump became a candidate.

Sol Wachtler, the former chief judge in New York, once called for abolishing grand juries because they are so easily manipulated that they would “indict a ham sandwich.”

Remember "Lock her up! Lock her up! Lock her up!"? Not the same thing at all, is it?

My source said, “That room isn’t a room where POTUS [Trump] gets a fair shake.”

So any room w/ black people in it resembles a BLM rally in Berkeley (Which is in California, by the way.) or a Bernie Sanders rally? Really? And I'm very sad to see the white male quota apparently wasn't met either. (Is the white male prosecutor mentioned some kind of [GASP!] race traitor? Inquiring minds want to know?) I'd say it was a conspiracy of some sort, but the District of Columbia's demographics suggest otherwise. Our only conclusion is that this Richard Johnson & his "phony and non-existent “sources'"* are a bunch of racist morons 100% behind Lumpy, facts & truth be damned! What else isn't new?

....impartial journalists of a much higher standard, lose all of your phony and non-existent “sources,” and treat the President of the United States FAIRLY, so that the next time I (and the people) win, you won’t have to write an apology to your readers for a job poorly done! GL
