“The New York Times’s story is inaccurate and factually incorrect,” Rosenstein said. “I will not further comment on a story based on anonymous sources who are obviously biased against the department and are advancing their own personal agenda. But let me be clear about this: Based on my personal dealings with the president, there is no basis to invoke the 25th Amendment.”
In a second statement hours later, Rosenstein said: “I never pursued or authorized recording the president and any suggestion that I have ever advocated for the removal of the President is absolutely false.”
Democrats and many Republicans have warned Trump against any attempt to assume control of or shut down Mueller’s investigation, either by firing Rosenstein to appoint a pliable successor, or dismissing Mueller directly. And they have said the president risks sparking a constitutional crisis if he tries to derail the inquiry.

Mueller defends authority, hearkens back to Garfield administration
Special counsel Robert Mueller cited more than a century’s worth of presidential scandal on Friday as part of a sweeping legal defense of his own authorities.
The lead Russia prosecutor made the historical references — that attorney generals have needed special investigators dating back to the 1870s — in a legal brief to a federal appeals court considering the case of a reluctant witness tied to a longtime supporter of President Donald Trump who is seeking to have Mueller’s appointment thrown out on constitutional grounds.
A liberal talk show host described as an intermediary between Trump confidant Roger Stone and WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange told Senate Russia investigators on Monday that he’s planning to plead the Fifth Amendment in response to its subpoena for testimony and documents.
Das Fifth Amendment stellt sicher, dass
Angeklagte in Strafverfahren Zugang zu einem Geschworenengericht haben (Grand Jury)
niemand wegen derselben Tat mehrmals angeklagt wird (Double Jeopardy)
niemand in einer Untersuchung gegen sich selbst aussagen muss (Auskunftsverweigerungsrecht)
vor einem Urteil ein ordentliches Gerichtsverfahren stattfindet (Due process)
das Recht auf Eigentum gewährleistet ist

Demokratie absurd oder für wieviele US-Bürger sprechen die GOP-Senatoren?
Senatoren repräsentieren ihren Bundestaat, jeder Bundesstaat besitzt die gleiche Anzahl von Senatoren und damit das gleiche Stimmgewicht, ohne dass dabei die Bevölkerungszahl berücksichtigt wird. In kleinen Bundesstaaten hat der einzelne Wähler daher ein vielfaches des Stimmgewichts eines Wählers eines der größten Bundesstaaten.
Der Grundsatz der Gleichheit der Wahl wird damit eklatant verletzt.
62 von 100 Senatoren repräsentieren nur 25% der US-Bürger

2040 werden zwei Drittel der US-Bürger von 30% des Senats repräsentiert

So kommt es zur Absurdität, dass eine Minderheit die Mehrheit überstimmen kann. Aktueller Fall ist die Ernennung des umstrittenen Richter Kavanagh der GOP in den Supreme Court mit 51:49 Senatorenstimmen. Die Minderheit aus 49 Senatoren repräsentiert jedoch 55,8% der Bürger.

Mueller Wants the FBI to Look at a Scheme to Discredit Him
A company that appears to be run by a pro-Trump conspiracy theorist offered to pay women to make false claims against Special Counsel Robert Mueller in the days leading up to the midterm elections—and the special counsel’s office has asked the FBI to weigh in. “When we learned last week of allegations that women were offered money to make false claims about the Special Counsel, we immediately referred the matter to the FBI for investigation,” the Mueller spokesman Peter Carr told me in an email on Tuesday.

Catastrophically Stupid Plot to Smear Robert Mueller Exposed by Trail of Online Evidence
für weitere information, schaue mal hier.there’s another intriguing story line, one that has to do with the still-unresolved question of whether the president will answer his questions and whether he will be forced to issue a subpoena to get that cooperation. Nelson Cunningham, a former prosecutor and Clinton administration official, examines a series of recent, unusual legal filings related to a conflict between Mueller and Trump’s attorneys over a grand jury subpoena, in which the person being subpoenaed is not identified. Cunningham makes a good case that the pattern of filings and rulings suggests that the question being argued over is whether the president will have to appear before the grand jury, which would mean that Mueller has already subpoenaed Trump.
The 453-page Starr report, written in 1998, deepened partisan divisions when its graphic detail and legal conclusions about Clinton’s affair with Monica Lewinsky were immediately made public by House Republicans, who suffered an electoral backlash.

Das Rezept von Diktaturen
Donald Trump versuchte, im Wahlkampf mit rassistischen Anklängen zu punkten. Viele US-Medien folgten ihm - besonders Fox News hat den Schritt von der Information zur Indoktrination gemacht.
