Hmmm. Interesting!

Steve Forbes being interviewed on CNBC recently was asked about the possibility of President Trump being impeached. He said removal of Trump is “Not going to happen.” But after that he said something very interesting:

"The thing to watch for is what Attorney General Barr is gonna be releasing in the next few weeks in terms of his investigations of what was happening with the CIA, the FBI, and certain White House officials leading up to the 2016 election and afterwards. A LOT OF BAD THINGS WERE DONE. . . . "

I have gained lots of experience holding my breath without turning blue. I am prepared to hold my breath again this time only because the outcome sounds so freaking tantalizing.

Even today, they’re afraid to investigate the history of president #44 for fear of exposing the truth. That would be disastrous.

Some people did some bad things. No prosecution = BFD.

Wait about 10 years: you’ll see. It is called the inning out the clock.

Does he have inside information about the investigations or is he speculating on the same rumors we’re all hearing?

That is the question, of course.

IMO, it is the former. He is certainly well connected and also probably well informed. There is likely a long line of individuals who would like to impress him with bona fide information.

Steve Forbes may be wrong but he’s not one to go public with garbage predictions.

Was Trump POTUS for 20 years?

If or when DeGenova said major players would not be held accountable, he was either spreading disinfo for a reason, or that is merely his opinion, and “insider info”.

Perhaps he is a FReeper and fellow hopeful Republican.

How do you know “they” are not investigating Hussein right now? Are you one of “them” and you know “they” are doing nothing?

Steve Forbes is a really cool dude and ran for President a couple of cycles ago. He is another Trumpian figure, I listen to everything either one says

"“MISTAKES WERE MADE” ... that is all."

Yup. That's my read too.

More noteworthy than what Forbes said is to whom he said it. He’s not one to throw words away, especially in an corporate media interview.

I like to think I am more cynical regarding this than defeatist.

I am pushing 60 years old. I have been waiting to see the mighty and powerful pay for their disgressions since long before OJ — a very high powered black celebrity — walked for cold-blooded pre-meditated murder.

I am still waiting. I mean, if you can throw 10 or 20 examples of justice where the high and mighty were prosecuted and sentenced to what the rest of us would receive, then I am all years.

Meanhile, a first offender with 6 oz of pot gets mandatory jail time in some jurisdictions.

After 60 years of seeing the high and mighty held to a different, lenient standard than the rest of us, you can bet I’ve become skeptical regarding this issue. My cynicism came after Barr refused to indict Comey on lying to the FBI and Congress, and then refused AGAIN to indict Comey on leaking classified information to the press.

That is the basis for my cynicism.

Add that to my previous almost 60 years of watching the high and mighty get away with murder, often literally and is it any wonder I have become like flea in a Flea Circus regarding our 3-tiered justice system where the high and mighty almost always get of Scott Free. I can only beat my head so many decades on the lid of that jar before I learn to quit jumping that high.

Nobody attacked you for your opinions. I don’t get why you have to label dozens of people with a broad brush just because they believe differently than you. I respect your hopeful opinion, but I don’t respect your putting down a bunch of people for disagreeing with you — oh and meanwhile the track record is 99.5% in their favor.

What is that definition of insanity? Doing the same thing and expecting a different result.

I like that Barr hired Durham. That has given me a miniscule shard of hope that somebody goes to jail over this and the coup is fully exposed. But don’t blame because I expect this to go the way the last 10,000 episodes went — with the High and Mighty getting off Scott Free.

If some of these conspirators go to jail, I will be celebrating right there with you. Nothing would please me more than to read your post “I told you so!” That crow would taste like beef wellington to me.

“Why does Steve Forbes know this?”

Steve is a very wealthy long-time political player. So he would have very high-level party contacts who would have some inkling.

Wouldn’t dwell on it too much other than the timing. The timing is what is interesting here if it holds up.

Do folks here follow Brian Cates at Epoch Times much? He is real good at staving off defeatism with his carefully researched work, which he often posts as Twitter threads. He predicts that the hammer will drop on the coup plotters when Barr and Durham have their evidence gathered and iron-clad cases prepared. In any case, well before the 2020 election. I followed his work closely on Twitter until my account was permanently suspended last week for hurting progressive feelings.

“Gonna Dominate the News”

Very funny. This will immediately be sent down the memory hole.
