This article lays it out as if you are the juror. BRILLIANT approach. Give it an honest read and render YOUR verdict. Is the POTUS being done an INJUSTICE? I think so. I have from the beginning.
On one side: U.S. President Donald J. Trump is designated an “unindicted co-conspirator,” alleged U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) via tweet (posted; 08-22-18), without any evidence.
On the other side: The Council on American-Islamic Relations is designated an “unindicted co-conspirator” based on “prima facie” evidence in the trial of the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development, wrote a Judge, as detailed below.
The following analysis is presented for your review.
American jurisprudence requires probable cause – evidence of a crime – which can be a basis for an investigation.
Instead, there is an investigation in search of a crime with the goal to impeach President Trump. The Russian/Trump collusion – the insurance policy – has been alleged without credible evidence by the Deep State – members of the Democratic Party; ex-CIA Director John Brennan; ex-FBI Director James B. Comey; ex-FBI Director, now Special Prosecutor Robert S. Mueller III; Deputy Attorney General Rod J. Rosenstein; and Attorney General Jeff Sessions, due to his dubious recusal.
The stereotypical prosecutor’s tactic: No evidence against the sought-after, primary target? Then file charges against the target’s associates in business, friends, and family members. With the pressure of potential prison and fines, attorney’s fees, and loss of income, these people are more likely to “flip and sing:” provide actual information or compose fiction.
“You don’t really care about Mr. Manafort,” U.S. District Judge T.S. Ellis III told Mueller’s team. “You really care about what information Mr. Manafort can give you to lead you to Mr. Trump and an impeachment, or whatever.” (Fox News) A jury returned a verdict of guilty on eight of eighteen counts (Fox News), so let’s see if Manafort sings.
In a plea deal, Michael Cohen pled guilty to charges concerning campaign finance (Fox News); But legal experts challenge: What crime?
Lanny Davis, a surrogate for the Clintons, now Cohen’s lawyer, stated that if “pay[ing] money to keep somebody silent for the principal purpose of political effect, that’s a crime, that’s a felony… If that’s guilty (sic), then the client who instructed and coordinated him doing that, hiding the fact that he was behind it, is also guilty of the same crime.” (Breitbart; MS-NBC) Note the absence of a specific crime, or any evidence other than Cohen first denying, now alleging, hush money.
In a U.S. federal terrorism financing case, “The Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development (“HLF”) and its leaders were convicted of materially supporting Hamas, a designated Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO),” reported Understanding the Threat.
“The Government also argues that CAIR’s claim is moot because CAIR’s status as a co-conspirator was made a matter of public record at trial through evidence and testimony and thus, striking CAIR’s name from the Trial Brief will not prevent its co-conspirator status from being publicly available and known.

The “cat was let out of the bag,” but the list, if made public, could cause a public relations “injury” for these subsidiaries of the Muslim Brotherhood and HAMAS, so the Judge refused to delete, but did seal, a list of co-conspirators in Attachment A to the Government’s Trial Brief.
The appellate court unsealed the trial level Judge’s Order.
The list is hardly a secret: See the Muslim Brotherhood’s Memorandum for “A list of our organizations and the organizations of our friends.” [p. 18] “This is where the Muslim Brotherhood listed its front groups in the U.S. Note that prominent organizations like CAIR, ISNA, ICNA and others are named here,” reports the Clarion Project.
So why did the U.S. Department of Justice designate CAIR as an “unindicted co-conspirator,” but not prosecute CAIR as a co-defendant? The government’s case apparently focused on financial transactions, but not CAIR as a public relations office for HAMAS. The trial was started by the Bush-DoJ, but finished by the Obama-DoJ.
Obama’s administration, specifically the White House, was a revolving door for the Muslim Brotherhood. You should read See Something, Say Nothing by Philip Haney, a Homeland Security Officer Exposes the Government’s Submission to Jihad.
“Unindicted co-conspirator:” That label is misapplied to Trump, but more accurately applied to the Council on American-Islamic Relations (HAMAS-CAIR).
The U.S. Congress has yet to designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization. Bills were filed but died in committees (2015 and 2017); and there was a hearing (2018); but no further action.
If the United States does designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization, then, by implication, that designation would apply to all of its subsidiaries, including HAMAS-CAIR.
