Leaking details about multiple cases from a prosecutor's office is very different from leaking memos from a bureaucrat's office.
Leaks that violate grand jury secrecy or otherwise violate strict procedure is the sort of thing that gets charges dropped and cases dismissed.
I do *not* want any of these crooks getting away with it like north and poindexter did.
Go to court to see it, invoke impeachment proceedings if that invoked a special rule to let congress see it, appoint another special counsel to investigate the withholding of the mueller report as another count of obstruction of justice, but do *not* leak it or do anything to jeopardize our chances of seeing these f*ckers behind bars.

We should exhaust all of them before resorting to anything that risks throwing cases away

(52,243 posts)If we're damn sure what's being leaked isn't classified, shouldn't be classified, isn't a grand jury secret, and in any event doesn't compromise the chance of successful prosecutions, then yes, that's ok.
But any leak will be challenged, so I'd prefer to avoid that route until we've exhausted the others.

(7,017 posts)There will be no impeachment, no arrest, no prison, no traffic tickets, no fines, no disgraced resignation, No Nothing. We have at this point no rule of law hence no consequence or punishment.

(7,447 posts)Some of the SDNY stuff maybe? But not the Mueller Report.
I think folks need to start thinking about the political value of this report vice some dream of Trump in chains.
Ain't going to happen.

(52,243 posts)plenty of crooks around him as well.
i'm fully aware that even if there were solid evidence enough to convict donnie, he'd be able to delay it until out of office anyway at a minimum. then he'd get a doctor to write a note saying suddenly he's in such bad health he can't stand trial or go to prison but he has to play golf to stay alive.
but there are still a lot of other crooks who might get locked up eventually, including his kids.
and yes, other than the indictments mueller already has going, this will be from sdny or other jurisdictions. but screwing this up might compomise those efforts too.
not going to happen.
