The Never-Ending Mueller Witch Hunt: An Affront to the Constitution

The Never-Ending Mueller Witch Hunt: An Affront to the Constitution:

"The most plausible reason for an endless witch hunt against President Trump and his circle is to cover the various abuses of power that have been credibly alleged against the last administration and the Department of Justice itself.  Since Robert Mueller was head of the FBI himself from 2001 to 2013, and since we now know that fired Director Comey and Mueller met in a private meeting before Comey called for a special counsel against Trump, the whole farcical process is now tainted beyond redemption.
If the Mueller witch hunt is a campaign to cover up crimes and misdeeds by the Obama administration, by the DOJ, and by the Hillary campaign, we need a federal grand jury – but without any tainted prosecutors – to examine Mueller, Comey, Brennan, and Hillary and Huma and Mills, as well as DOJ officials who allowed Huma to walk out of the State Department with relevant paperwork only months ago.  Contrary to previous procedures, these individuals should be put under oath to tell the truth."

AfD politician ′censored′ under new German hate speech law for anti-Muslim tweet |
 News | DW | 02.01.2018:

"Beatrix von Storch, a leading figure in the Alternative for Germany party, is one of the first hit by new hate speech laws on social media. 
Critics say the legislation opens the way for censorship by internet companies.

A top lawmaker from the anti-immigration Alternative for Germany (AfD) party was blocked from Twitter and Facebook on Monday after slamming the Cologne police for sending a New Year's tweet in Arabic...
The Cologne police tweeted New Year's greetings and linked to information on celebrating safely in a series of messages in German and other languages, including Arabic. Cologne was the scene two years ago of mass sexual assaults on New Year's Eve in which most of the suspects were described as young men of North African and Arab origin.

"What the hell is happening in this country? Why is an official police site tweeting in Arabic?
