Dimensional Chess"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Three Dimensional Chess<\/p>\n<p><em>(I took a little break last week, heading to North Carolina for Merlefest \u2013 a Bluegrass Festival &#8211; with three of my favorite people.\u00a0 Back home now and a lot\u2019s gone on \u2013 time to get back to work!)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>This week the President\u2019s team leaked a summary of notes taken in a meeting with the Mueller team.\u00a0The topic:\u00a0 will the President answer questions from Special Counsel Mueller.\u00a0Further leaks reveal that when negotiations over the \u201cinterview\u201d (<em>shades of a movie about North Korea \u2013 maybe there are more similarities than we think<\/em>) got tough, the Mueller team suggested they would subpoena the President. \u00a0This would be unprecedented.<\/p>\n<p>John Dowd, then the lead counsel for the President and since resigned, stated:\u00a0<em>\u201cThis isn\u2019t some game \u2013 you are screwing with the work of the President of the United States.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u00a0<\/em>But in a sense, it is a game:\u00a0 a game with the most serious consequences. \u00a0The subject of the investigation is ultimately the President of the United States, Donald Trump, who in reality, is accused of conspiring with the Russian Government to change the results of the 2016 election.\u00a0 While the legal niceties suggest that the President is a \u201csubject\u201d not a \u201ctarget\u201d of this investigation, that distinction has more to do with the consequences of a criminal indictment of a sitting President than the actual evidentiary outcomes.<\/p>\n<p>The opposition:\u00a0currently Robert Mueller, Special Counsel of the Department of Justice, who has been charged with determining what happened between the Trump campaign and the Russian Government during the 2016 election.\u00a0 Mueller is supervised by the Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein; put in that role by the recusal of Attorney General Jeff Sessions who was involved in the Trump campaign.<\/p>\n<p>What could be the outcome of this game?\u00a0 The Mueller team could issue a report, essentially an indictment, to the House of Representatives, stating that the actions of the President should result in criminal charges, and only the Constitution prevents him from being dragged \u201cbefore the bar.\u201d\u00a0 Since the judicial system isn\u2019t available, the Constitution calls on Congress to deal with a President who committed \u201c\u2026high crimes and misdemeanors.\u201d\u00a0 Mueller could call for the impeachment and removal of the President.<\/p>\n<p>This is the ultimate consequence.<\/p>\n<p>The leak of the possible questions originally looked like it came from the Mueller team.\u00a0 As such it would be a first, as Mueller has been completely tight lipped about the progress of the work, communicating only in court through filings.\u00a0 The only reason it seemed like a Mueller leak, is the questions were limited to directly Russia and election related issues.\u00a0 There were no questions about Trump\u2019s taxes, previous investments, or business affairs.\u00a0The topics all were \u201cwithin the lane\u201d of the Russia investigation, and didn\u2019t cross the \u201cred lines\u201d that Trump himself had stated might serve as grounds for firing Mueller.<\/p>\n<p>But it was leaked by the President\u2019s side.\u00a0 While we don\u2019t know the direct source, it has been established that these were questions developed by the President\u2019s attorney Jay Sekulow from the topics of the Mueller meeting.\u00a0 And while the leak didn\u2019t seem to serve the President\u2019s cause, it did provide two new items of information about the investigation.<\/p>\n<p>First, the topics and questions implied that there was evidence that Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort was in direct contact with the Russian Government looking for aid to the Trump campaign.\u00a0 This would be a direct sign of conspiracy (collusion is the President\u2019s term, but it has no legal consequence.)<\/p>\n<p>And second, the Mueller team was looking at the use of possible Presidential pardons to obstruct the investigation, particularly with General Mike Flynn.\u00a0 This \u201cdangling\u201d of pardon in order to keep Flynn from cooperating with the Mueller team, was supposedly done by lead Presidential counsel John Dowd, who resigned from the White House team shortly after the March meeting with Mueller.<\/p>\n<p>So if Mueller didn\u2019t leak this information, and it seems to benefit the Mueller case, then what was the \u201cPresident\u2019s team\u201d thinking by putting it out there?<\/p>\n<p>President Trump, using his preferred means of mass communication, has called the investigation a \u201cwitch hunt\u201d or stated that there was \u201cno collusion\u201d six times in the past day.\u00a0The Presidential team, stating that Trump is a \u201csubject\u201d not a \u201ctarget\u201d of the investigation, asks why there are questions about Trump\u2019s direct actions involving the campaign and Russia.\u00a0 If he\u2019s not a target, then why are they asking these questions?<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a call to their base, who already have concluded that the investigation is a \u201cwitch hunt\u201d and that there was \u201cno collusion.\u201d\u00a0 Fox News has made it very clear, and the set of \u201cfacts\u201d the Trump base uses supports that claim.\u00a0 So when the President refuses to be questioned, or perhaps even invokes his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination, his base will accept his actions as necessary and proper for a man being hounded by the \u201cdeep state\u201d and \u201cClinton\/Obama Democrats.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, the leaked topics will lend further fire to the radical Republican Freedom Caucus members, who already have drafted articles of impeachment \u2013 for Rod Rosenstein.\u00a0If they can involve him in a hearing defending himself, they can then call for his removal from supervision of the Russia investigation.\u00a0 The President doesn\u2019t have to fire Rosenstein, an impeachment hearing will force his recusal.<\/p>\n<p>Rosenstein himself has responded, calling out the Freedom Caucus for leaking the impeachment articles anonymously.\u00a0 He has made it clear that as the Deputy Attorney General he will continue to \u201c\u2026protect and defend the Constitution\u201d and follow the facts to their conclusion.<\/p>\n<p>Paul Ryan, the lame-duck Speaker of the House, could put an end to the Freedom Caucus foolishness.\u00a0But he probably won\u2019t, as it might trigger an inside battle for the Speakership, a job Ryan wants to \u201cgracefully leave\u201d next January.\u00a0 It\u2019s about Ryan staying under the radar, and not taking a stand.<\/p>\n<p>So what\u2019s the next move in this game.<\/p>\n<p>New Presidential attorney Rudy Guiliani, far more politician than legal scholar at this point, will try to manipulate the public perception of the investigation.\u00a0 While for everyone else there are serious legal consequences to federal charges, to Guiliani\u2019s client, the President, there are only political ones.\u00a0 Impeachment is a political process in the Congress, and subject to the \u201cwhims\u201d of the voters as much as the facts of the case.\u00a0 Keeping the Trump base activated and voting keeps the pressure on Republican Congressmen, and ultimately Senators, to avoid impeachment and trial.<\/p>\n<p>The leak also puts emphasis on impeachment, a goal for Republican campaign strategists.\u00a0 They believe that if Democrats can be forced to run on the question of impeachment, it will energize the Trumpian base to come out and vote to defend their man.\u00a0 Since he isn\u2019t on the ballot, voting for the Republican candidate for the House or Senate is the next best thing, and keeps Trump from facing Congressional consequences.<\/p>\n<p>Democrats recognize this strategy as well, and are trying to keep the investigation at arms length while they campaign on the impact of the tax cuts and other cultural issues.\u00a0 They aren\u2019t much help to Mueller, but would be should they gain control of one or both houses of Congress.<\/p>\n<p>And the Mueller team: they will continue to do what they\u2019ve always done, keep their heads down and proceed with the investigation.\u00a0 Regardless of the political consequences, they will conclusively let the nation know what happened between Trump and the Russians, particularly in the 2016 election.\u00a0And ultimately, it will be up to the people of the United States to provide the political will to go from there.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Three
