“I apologize for the length”

NEVER do THAT!

I don’t see a thing in it I would rather have gone without!

And anyone that doesn’t feel that way can burn some calories

with their scroll finger!

Easy.

(I don’t mean THAT way, Bagster!!! LOL!)

MOAR BRIAN CATES:

When Jeff Sessions revealed in a letter to the Congress in March 2018 that DOJ Inspector General Michael E. Horowitz had been *assigned US Attorneys to work in concert with him* the real meaning of what this meant went right over the heads of people who should have seen it.

The *expected* process is that the IG does his investigation, *shows those results to the AG*, and then makes his report public & makes public referrals for prosecution.

At that point, the AG *publicly* makes a decision & *publicly* assigns prosecutors to prosecute those referred
That’s NOT the process they followed for SpyGate or the Clinton Foundation investigations.

SURPRISE!

Horowitz completed his investigation LONG AGO & hasn’t released his report yet but he *already* made his referalls for prosecution to the AG *long ago*.

Note in that letter from March 2018 Sessions only says *that at the current time*, Horowitz had been ‘working in tandem’ with a US Attorney for Utah John Huber....AND A TEAM OF US ATTORNEYS THAT JOHN HUBER WAS LEADING.

Sessions *never said* when this tandem activty STARTED.
Everybody’s been waiting for the USUAL PUBLIC PROCESS TO UNFOLD but that’s not the only LEGAL way for the DOJ and the AG to do their business.

They are not *required* to publicly release reports and make their referrals public FIRST before taking action.
What was the BIGGEST OBSTACLE to bringing justice to the people pictured here?

It was the DC LEAK CULTURE.

Strategic leaking to blow up investigations/thwart prosecutions/turn prosecutors & investigators into targets.

DC LEAK CULTURE working in tandem with THE DNC MEDIA COMPLEX is specially designed and created to PROTECT THESE PEOPLE and make sure they get away from any consequences of their crimes. ...snip...

SHORT NOTE FROM BRIAN CATES:

You think Liberals are melting down now over that Manafort sentencing, wait until you see how they react when the Tony Podesta indictment gets rolled out.

I’m sure Tony Podesta, the moment the Manafort indictment was first unsealed almost 2 years ago, let out a wail of despair like a banshee, dissolved his highly successful lobbying firm & dove headfirst into the deepest hole he could find for no particular reason whatsoever.

A deep deep hole from which, I’ll note, he has not even stuck his head up from EVEN ONCE in all this time.

I’m sure that was just a case of nerves, right?

BRIAN CATES RE: N. KOREA SUMMIT

Note all the media spin about every change of plans at this summit means Trump just failed, the talks broke down, etc.

Desperate wishcasting.

“I will now spend half an hour of my program gleefully speculating that this change of schedule at the US/NK summit means talks have broken off and there will be no deal!” = every “news” channel except Fox.

All they had to say was “There’s been a change of plans, we’ll have more for you when we know what it’s about.”

But hey, there’s no fun in that! Let’s spend an hour speculating!

Remember, Trump is a veteran negotiator. This is his element. You HAVE to demonstrate you will walk away.

Remember, the 1st US/NK summit was ‘abruptly’ cancelled, the DNC Media freaking did a victory lap, then suddenly just as abruptly, it was back on again?

Reagan walked away with no deal at Rejavik. That lead to a far better result later.

I still remember the major media freakout at the time that Reagan didn’t give up the Star Wars program to Gorbachev. They called Reagan a massive failure.

And they were wrong.
So if this *does* turn out to be Trump walking away with no deal, don’t panic.

/end
ADDENDUM: If you understand the concept of ‘face’, Trump has to do everything to make it appear that Kim is an equal negotiator, that he’s not just letting Trump walk all over him.

That means the appearance -even if a ruse - of making Trump WORK for this deal.
Just sent to me on Quod Verum, very insightful:
