“READERS FORUM” DECEMBER 3, 2018

1. Conservative author Jerome Corsi on Monday filed a “criminal and ethics complaint” against Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s team, accusing investigators of trying to bully him into giving “false testimony” against President Trump.

   The complaint, which Corsi had threatened for days, is the latest escalation between Mueller’s team and its investigation targets.

   The 78-page document, asserting the existence of a “slow-motion coup against the president,” was filed to a range of top law enforcement officials including Acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker, DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz, D.C.’s U.S. Attorney Jessie Liu and the Bar Disciplinary Counsel.

   “Dr. Corsi has been criminally threatened and coerced to tell a lie and call it the truth,” the complaint states.

   • This whack job conspiracy theorist is like Cheetolini, trying to distract from the truth that he is going to prison. He’s in the crosshairs of special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation and knows he will be prosecuted

     “Filing a complaint based on Corsi’s version of the truth abuses the role of the inspector general to ferret out wrongdoing within DOJ and seems to be more of a public relations stunt than a meritorious concern”
     –Daniel Goldman, former federal prosecutor

     “Patently ridiculous. This is somebody who doesn’t like the fact that he’s being caught in his lies”
     — Mimi Rocah, Assistant U.S. attorney for New York’s Southern District

     The charade was filed by the right-wing mouthbreathers at Judicial Watch and Freedom Watch, so we know it is BS

     Corsi takes a cue from Trump, alleging that Mueller and his team are saddled with conflicts of interest and are unfit to work on this investigation. These conflicts include some of their past political contributions to the Democratic party.

     This knucklehead and his lawyer even lob a grenade in the form of accusations of treason, calling Mueller’s investigation “rogue government tyranny” aimed at “coercing and extorting false testimony from Dr. Corsi and others”

2. Great news! Huge win for America in the war against illegal drugs!

   Xi Tells Trump China Will Schedule Fentanyl
   China, world’s fentanyl source, to finally control drug

   China will finally add fentanyl and its analogs to its list of controlled substances, following a Saturday meeting between Chinese president Xi Jinping and President Donald Trump.

   “President Xi, in a wonderful humanitarian gesture, has agreed to designate Fentanyl as a Controlled Substance, meaning that people selling Fentanyl to the United States will be subject to China’s maximum penalty under the law,” White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders announced in a Saturday night statement.

   The agreement came as the two leaders joined other representatives of the G20 nations in Buenos Aires, Argentina, for the organization’s annual summit. The two had aimed to broker a deal end their respective countries’ escalating trade war. The scheduling of fentanyl was part of a package deal, offered by Xi to stop Trump from raising tariffs on some $200 billion worth of Chinese goods.

   Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid, which means that it is produced in a lab (rather than derived from farmed poppies) and binds to the same receptors in the brain as other opioids like morphine and heroin. Because it is synthesized, fentanyl has a substantial number of “analogs,” drugs which mimic its effects while having a slightly different chemical structure.

   Thanks largely to pressure from American negotiators, China had previously scheduled a number of these analogs, as well as two precursors for fentanyl synthesis. But the across-the-board scheduling of all analogs, if actually implemented, could substantially change the shape of Chinese drug production and thereby the U.S. drug crisis.

   That is because China is the major source for most of America’s fentanyl supply. The drug and its analogs are mass-produced in Chinese labs, then shipped either to Mexico to be smuggled across the border or, often, sent in the U.S. mail. The direct result is that fentanyl has flooded the U.S. market, in turn becoming the primary driver of surging drug overdose deaths.

3. China labeled “humanitarian” is the most laughable claim yet. Almost as good as thinking Trump is a “leader”

   Trump Says China Will Curtail Fentanyl. The U.S. Has Heard That Before

   China said in 2016 it would do the same thing, but the Chinese government never specified the steps it intended to take in its official statements or state media reports at the time, and its follow-up has been patchy at best

   So when the Trump administration said on Saturday that President Xi Jinping of China had agreed to designate fentanyl as a controlled substance in “a wonderful humanitarian gesture,” analysts said there was little to cheer about

   “It’s in many ways all theater from the White House and very little serious substance,” said John Collins, the executive director of the London School of Economics’s International Drug Policy Unit. “It seems to me the same story again”

   As with other points of contention between China and the United States, the problem for Washington is getting Beijing to fulfill its promises

   Complicating the matter is the size of China’s chemical industry. State Department data shows that there are about 160,000 chemical companies in China. Weak regulation means that those producing fentanyl substances will probably still be willing to sell them despite the new ban

   On top of that, HEROIN is the number one drug threat in America, as determined by the DEA, and ranks second only to marijuana as the easiest drug to obtain

   • Think what you want about President Trump, but its pretty sad when the left won’t acknowledge something that is beneficial to all Americans. Anything that reduces illegal drugs benefits all Americans.
