vanity - Possible reason for no indictments (yet)?

I had similar thoughts but at a different part of the week. It was at the White House when he is thanking all the Congress men and women and he gets to “central casting” John Ratcliff and says something like “I’m going to be needing you soon” and lets that hang there for a sec or two.

But then maybe we’re both just reading in what we’d like to happen.

Putting a persuasive, beyond a reasonable doubt white-collar criminal case together is difficult even when guilt seems obvious. The usual strategy is to build a case through documents, then corner several nogoodniks and get guilty pleas from them with a promise of leniency in return for testimony against higher-ups and co-conspirators. That takes a lot of time, with many pitfalls on the way.

Defense attorneys do all they can to delay and frustrate the prosecution. As if that was not enough, the prosecution's task is even harder when government misconduct is involved. I can easily think of a half dozen examples known to me of when defense attorneys won the game so that obvious criminal misconduct involving government went unpunished.

In one instance I know of, a defendant was acquitted by a federal court jury in the state capital despite a compelling criminal case. The acquittal was due to covert patronage connections in state government to one of the jurors. The US Assistant Attorney and local FBI were utterly clueless due to their lack of understanding of how political influence and patronage worked in the state government down the street.

Barr and Durham are not novices to this kind of rodeo. All indications are that they are methodically assembling criminal cases that will win. My guess is that they will have one or more major criminal cases filed by May at the latest.

There won’t be any indictments.
This is all for show.

Oh noes....where oh where will Hannity get his TICK TOCKS.....

I think the judiciary was an important step.

FISA declass to awaken the public

Durham indictments then understood in context of crimes

“ He’s got all the evidence he needs to empanel Grand Juries and issue subpoenas. The fact that he hasn’t proves my assertion.

That assumes you have all knowledge...

Reforming the judiciary so we could get lawful decisions from courts was an absolutely essential step.

However, 191 confirmations later, it’s time to start processing criminal charges against those who have earned them.

I understand the sentiment, but I believe that it is more that they fear the exposure of their complicity in looting the taxpayer.

BARR is a GOOD guy...not willing to HATE him YET!

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

I’ve mocked him in the past but I can’t ignore the praise Trump gave him the other day and in the same speech basically saying many heads should roll. With that I remain optimistic.

There are no indictments of participants of the Kenyanesian Usurpation and there won’t be because both parties cooperated to violate the Constitution.

[eartick]

I do not think so. The people that bring the indictments, the DOJ, are scared schifftless about outing the Democrat party and Odinga.

When someone grows a pair in that bureaucratic cesspool, maybe something with happen. Until then, do not hold your breath or bet on anything going forward.
