Weird how Mueller completely missed this. Did you try sending Mueller an email?

ERIC HOLDER INSERTS HIS YAP. TELLS BARR THAT IT"S "INVESTIGATING" NOT SPYING. But when you’re engaged in illegal surveillance of a political candidate on behalf of the opposing political party, “spying” is the nicest word that comes to mind.

It's almost like we, the people are no longer in control of our government. We would be better off simply dissolving the government and summarily executing all those government asshole.
I am to the point now where a stateless society is more attractive than the criminal organization in control.

The tin foil hat comes from believing in conspiracy theories without any supporting evidence. You maga people have the monopoly on that one.

Oh? You mean all of the unfounded claims that trump was colluding with the russkis? You do know that the only evidence that exists is for the collusion between hillary and the Ukrainians. Right?

Wikipedia can be used as a starting point for research, but only when citation is provided. The student must evaluate the source of the information.
"Remember that any encyclopedia is a starting point for research, not an ending point."
If the cited reference is reliable, then that portion of wiki is reliable.
Funny how you are so desperate to deflect that you respond to an old post and IGNORE the very pertinent one. Typical lying progressive silly person.

They have to, gipper. One of their key players ought to have had her feet put to the flame at Yale University in 1970 for holding the Administration building there in a shut down position by holding an AK-47 at the door for student emphasis.

One of Trumps biggest successes was his ability to get through the Establishment Media Phalanx.
The gap grows wider with each passing day and their control of social media is about to get blown away as well.

The FBI was looking into the fact that the Trump campaign was swarming with Russian contacts and they knew the Russians were making advances toward the campaign. What part of Russian influence worming its way into the highest reaches of American government don't you understand? If you don't see a problem with that, thank God at least the FBI does.

We the People have not been in control since the Federal income tax (16th A) was passed despite the very questionable process in which it was considered to have passed, for example, the state of Oklahoma inverted the language of the amendment, but it was counted as approving anyway.
Tax protester Sixteenth Amendment arguments - Wikipedia
The William J. Benson contention is essentially that the legislatures of various states passed ratifying resolutions in which the quoted text of the Amendment differed from the text proposed by Congress in terms of capitalization, spelling of words, or punctuation marks (e.g. semi-colons instead of commas), and that these differences made the ratification invalid. Benson makes other assertions including claims that one or more states rejected the Amendment and that the state or states were falsely reported as having ratified the Amendment. As explained below, the Benson arguments have been rejected in every court case where they have been raised, and were explicitly ruled to be fraudulent in 2007.
Benson contended that in Kentucky, the legislature acted on the amendment without having received it from the governor, and that the governor of the state was to transmit the proposed amendment to the state legislature. Benson also contended that the version of the amendment that the Kentucky legislature made up and acted upon omitted the words "on income" from the text, and that the legislature therefore was not even voting on an income tax. Benson asserted that once this error was corrected, the Kentucky senate rejected the amendment, although Philander Knox counted Kentucky as having approved it.
Benson also contended that in Oklahoma, the legislature changed the wording of the amendment so that its meaning was virtually the opposite of what was intended by Congress, and that this was the version they sent back to Knox. Benson alleged that Knox counted Oklahoma as having approved it, despite a memo from his chief legal counsel, Reuben Clark, that states were not allowed to change the proposal in any way.
Benson argued that attorneys who studied the subject had agreed that Kentucky and Oklahoma should not have been counted as approvals by Philander Knox, and that if any state could be shown to have violated its own state constitution or laws in its approval process, then that state's approval would have to be thrown out.
....
Benson and Beckman did not discover anything; they rediscovered something that Secretary Knox considered in 1913. Thirty-eight states ratified the sixteenth amendment, and thirty-seven sent formal instruments of ratification to the Secretary of State. (Minnesota notified the Secretary orally, and additional states ratified later; we consider only those Secretary Knox considered.) Only four instruments repeat the language of the sixteenth amendment exactly as Congress approved it. The others contain errors of diction, capitalization, punctuation, and spelling. The text Congress transmitted to the states was: "The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration." Many of the instruments neglected to capitalize "States", and some capitalized other words instead. The instrument from Illinois had "remuneration" in place of "enumeration"; the instrument from Missouri substituted "levy" for "lay"; the instrument from Washington had "income" not "incomes"; others made similar blunders.
Thomas insists that because the states did not approve exactly the same text, the amendment did not go into effect. Secretary Knox considered this argument. The Solicitor of the Department of State drew up a list of the errors in the instruments and – taking into account both the triviality of the deviations and the treatment of earlier amendments that had experienced more substantial problems – advised the Secretary that he was authorized to declare the amendment adopted. The Secretary did so.

The Secretary did so.
Although Thomas urges us to take the view of several state courts that only agreement on the literal text may make a legal document effective, the Supreme Court follows the "enrolled bill rule". If a legislative document is authenticated in regular form by the appropriate officials, the court treats that document as properly adopted. Field v. Clark, 143 U.S. 649, 36 L.Ed. 294, 12 S.Ct. 495 (1892). The principle is equally applicable to constitutional amendments. See Leser v. Garnett, 258 U.S. 130, 66 L.Ed. 505, 42 S.Ct. 217 (1922), which treats as conclusive the declaration of the Secretary of State that the nineteenth amendment had been adopted. In United States v. Foster, 789 F.2d. 457, 462–463, n.6 (7th Cir. 1986), we relied on Leser, as well as the inconsequential nature of the objections in the face of the 73-year acceptance of the effectiveness of the sixteenth amendment, to reject a claim similar to Thomas's. See also Coleman v. Miller, 307 U.S. 433, 83 L. Ed. 1385, 59 S. Ct. 972 (1939) (questions about ratification of amendments may be nonjusticiable). Secretary Knox declared that enough states had ratified the sixteenth amendment. The Secretary's decision is not transparently defective. We need not decide when, if ever, such a decision may be reviewed in order to know that Secretary Knox's decision is now beyond review.
