THE LEGEND, Christopher Kraft has passed. May he rest in peace.
In 1942, Kraft began his studies at Virginia Tech and became a member of the Corps of Cadets. During his freshman year, he attempted to enlist in the military as a U.S. Navy cadet but was rejected because of a burned right hand that he had suffered at age three. Because of wartime demands, Virginia Tech was operating on a twelve-month schedule, and Kraft finished his degree in only two years. He graduated in December 1944 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Aeronautical Engineering.[8]
I will root for VaTech this college season.

Martin Armstrong. Mueller judged.
A federal judge has ruled that former special counsel Robert Mueller had no evidence that the Russian government was behind election year social media trolling. The allegations by Mueller were simply made up. The ruling by U.S. District Judge Dabney L. Friedrich of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia revealed a secret legal battle between the Justice Department and the Russian firm Concord Management and Consulting LLC. Because of the conduct of Mueller, the judge began unsealing legal briefs and transcripts, which exposed the fact that Mueller’s 448-page report prompted to seek contempt proceedings.
The argument was that Mueller prejudiced any potential jury by stating that the Kremlin ran the social media campaign, which he argued, without evidence, that the Russian government-funded Concord. That connection isn’t contained in the special counsel’s February 2018 indictment against Concord because there is no evidence to support that public statement

And if Putin had half a brain, he’d figure out a way to sue. There is NO evidence Russia did anything and Putin can almost certainly cite damages for contracts not signed, etc. Even if it never made it to court, the process is the punishment.
Rudi G. was making the rounds this morning. On the local talk show he painted a picture of Mueller that was unlike anything I’ve heard before.
Out of the loop, clueless. He didn’t use those terms, of course, but basically it’s what he said. He said he always seemed ‘absent’, ‘not there’, etc. Which sort of raises more questions about why he’s got that lawyer sitting next to him, puppet master.

Well.
a remarkable rumor is circulating among some Democrats. This is – in the words of one source – that Mueller is ‘slowly losing his faculties’, that at the age of 74, the former special counsel is going senile. The source went on to say that this was one reason why Mueller had been ‘so intent’ on limiting the time and scope of the hearings today.
This particular source was a senior official in the last presidential administration and maintains good lines of communication into the DoJ.

Of course this will be the reason given for a completely new investigation.

Which is why the Democrats will say we need a new investigation. BHO should investigate, backed by Marilyn Mosby.

oh yeah? When the R’s start calling Mueller’s team up to testify why they let an obviously incompetent person ‘lead’ the investigation – they can’t have it both ways. Either every one on that team was lead by the nose by someone in the early stages of dementia or the investigation was really done by all of them and they have to stand by it.
They aren’t going to go there. Especially after $25 mil. Who is going to appoint the Special Counsel? Barr? Don’t think so. The Dems can spend the entire 2020 campaign wailing for a new SC because the old one is a crazy old coot if they want, but SOMEBODY had the bright idea to staff his entire team with – Hillary supporters. Go there. Please.

Louie Gohmert was just on Tucker. He thinks it was all an act, to run out everybody’s clock, constantly asking for questions to be repeated, asking for page numbers, etc. It is a bit odd how the ‘mental incompetence’ narrative just popped up out of nowhere all of a sudden

The fact that a former administration official is maintaining “good lines of communication” with the DOJ says to me that the DOJ is listening to former administration people and providing information that they really should not have. After the former administration leaves, they should have no more influence than the average citizen. Just as in a change in command, the former leader’s personnel should not be influencing the new command, it undercuts the new commander.

@ eaglesoars:
Mueller certainly had enough of his marbles when he was on the attack with the media and the Dems cheering. NOW he’s senile? No. He cannot answer any logical question posed to him. Dan Bongino, in his compassionate way, finds these hearings sad. HOWEVER, he points out where Mueller conveniently contradicts himself over the whole conspiracy/collusion conflation. They are hitting him with logic. You cannot say that Mueller dragged Trump (and the American public) through months of smears and then say we have no evidence to convict him but it doesn’t mean he’s not guilty. The law is innocent until proven guilty.
Mueller isn’t senile imho. He is a deer caught in the headlights. It is dawning on him that he has no rebuttal to the the fabric of lies, deceptions, political tricks, and a million dems out there who hate the fact that Trump is President. (That may be understated)

He MAY actually be hard of hearing. I live with someone who deals with that and it can often make them seem disoriented. But even if that’s the case, it doesn’t explain all of it.
@ eaglesoars:
The fact that the MO of the investigation matched previous Mueller investigations doesn’t seem to support the theory he wasn’t in charge. The attempt to entrap individuals in process crimes in order to get them to turn on Trump was the same methods he has used in the past.
@ AZfederalist:

Did you see that blank look during the hearings on the attack. He’s been steadily losing this week and it has thrown him off his confident game. He may be going walkabout because hearing things he does not want to hear. I’m sure they could get a psych assessment by
Democrats to make him seen not culpable of his own actions. The media could spin that lifeline in two days.

Epstein, who is being held in Metropolitan Correctional Center during his trial for conspiracy and sex trafficking, was found semi-conscious with marks on his neck, two sources told News 4. Investigators are trying to piece together exactly what happened, saying details remain murky.
Two sources tell News 4 that Epstein may have tried to hang himself, while a third source cautioned that the injuries were not serious and questioned if Epstein might be using it as a way to get a transfer.
A fourth source said an assault has not been ruled out, and that another inmate was questioned. The inmate who investigators have talked to in Lower Manhattan facility has been identified as Nicholas Tartaglione, according to two sources. Tartaglione is a former police officer in Westchester County who was arrested in December 2016 and accused of killing four men in an alleged cocaine distribution conspiracy, then burying their bodies in his yard in Otisville in Orange County, according to court records.
Sources told News 4 investigators questioned Tartaglione, and the former cop claimed not to have seen anything and insisted he did not touch Epstein, sources said.

Trump Justice Department to resume federal executions
The Department of Justice (DOJ) announced Thursday that it will resume capital punishment for the first time in nearly two decades.
Only three federal executions have taken place since 1988, according to the Death Penalty Information Center. All five of the death-row inmates named in Thursday’s release were convicted for the murders of children.
