Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends)
Boy, here’s a shocker, huh? – Footage from a camera stationed outside the cell in which pedophile and longtime pal of the Clintons Jeffrey Epstein mysteriously died a few weeks ago has been deemed as “unusable” by federal investigators. Oh, golly, how surprising that is.
Ok, it’s not surprising at all, is it? Seriously, this is like a bad episode of Jake and the Fat Man at this point. Was there anybody with a functioning brain still out there who did not fully expect to read this report at some point soon?
Hey, here’s another question someone at our Department of No-Justice should answer: Why has it taken so long for this “news” to be made public? Epstein was found dead in his cell 17 days ago – are we now being asked to believe it took that long for those eagle-eyed FBI guys to actually think to review video footage? How obvious is it that the real answer here is that the FBI no doubt reviewed the video evidence as a first step, but waited until public attention on the case had died down before letting this crucial piece of information out to the press?
The other little bit of news in the Washington Post story linked above is this:
Prosecutors have since moved to drop the charges against Epstein – although they continue to investigate those who might have conspired with him. A federal judge has scheduled a hearing for Tuesday to consider the matter and has indicated that those who say Epstein victimized them will be allowed to speak in court.
Well, of course. You can’t prosecute a very conveniently dead man, now, can you? But gosh, isn’t is just so sweet that a few of Epstein’s thousands of victims will be allowed to “speak in court?” I’m sure that will make it all better for them.
As for this nonsense about prosecutors continuing to investigate Epstein’s conspirators, well, we can’t help noticing that Ghislain Maxwell continues to just fly all over the world, free as a bird, or perhaps free as Hillary Clinton and James Comey and Andrew McCabe and Peter Strzok and on and on and on.
The big question in all of this and so much more is, when will Attorney General William Barr do something real, something other than talking a good game, something to prove that he is a real AG and not just the second coming of Jeff Sessions?
Well, a golden opportunity to do so just landed in his lap. Useless apparatchik U.S. Attorney Jessie Liu decided she just can’t decide whether or not to prosecute Andrew McCabe for his serial leaking of classified information and lying about it to superiors within the DOJ. Thus, that decision will now be made at DOJ headquarters in Washington, DC.
Here is your moment, Mr. Barr. You have a suspect whose internal behavior was so poor so frequently that he merited the conduct of a full-fledged Inspector General investigation, the report from which was issued way back in April, 2018. That report was so disturbing that even the otherwise feckless Sessions decided to fire McCabe. It also contained criminal referrals for McCabe’s repeatedly lying to investigators and superiors at the FBI and DOJ, the same alleged crimes for which Special Counsel Robert Mueller prosecuted and threw several people in jail during the course of his Witch Hunt.
Here is a chance for Mr. Barr to conclude a process for so long that at least one U.S. Attorney quit her job over the slow pace of the decision-making by Liu and others. From the New York Times report:
…[the case]… has been under investigation for so long that the term expired for the grand jury hearing evidence. One of the lead prosecutors, Kamil Shields, was unhappy with the lengthy decision-making process and has since left the Justice Department for private practice. Ms. Shields declined to comment.
This is a case into which a real, decisive Attorney General would step and do the right thing. It’s a clear and unambiguous opportunity for William Barr to demonstrate that the two-tiered system of justice that existed in our country for the 24 years before Donald Trump took office will come to an end under his watch.
If Andrew McCabe is allowed to skate and go onto become wealthy thanks to his benefactors at CNN, then we all should forget about any of the bad actors who tried to fix the 2016 election and mounted a failed coup d’etat against a sitting President of the United States ever seeing anything resembling “justice.”
For William Barr, the time for choosing has arrived.
That is all.

THE MCCABE CASE IS THE LITMUS TEST!!!
Very true and people are not only whining (sorry that is what it is) but complaining that Congress hasn’t acted.
Look, Lindsey Graham hasn’t shown any inclination to have a hearing on any topic demonstrating fear to drag out any dirt on John Brennan but that’s not his responsibility if, in fact, it hinders a real investigation.
What we have now is an official “review” which amounts to an ongoing investigation led by US Attorney John Dowd.
No results until its time. No trial by the press before its time. No leaks about pending crimes before their time. This is your new professional DOJ.
We can only hope and pray that significant criminal action will proceed at the right time. Clearly, DOJ like Jessie Liu will not prosecute in the Awan scandal (too many politicians in trouble) or the Senate SCSI Leak scandal with Wolfe and his “journalist” concubine but the verdict is open yet on the SpyGate.
Don’t see how they can give a pass when the very institutions guarding this country tried to overthrow it. That’s just me. I can’t fathom the argument, these institutions can’t afford to be razed and rebuilt. I can’t fathom it at all.
Every day that Epstein is in the news, it is a reminder to women that this POS was a major Democrat donor. This entire episode will die on the vine, but behind the scenes it becomes leverage for the DOJ.
Anyway, everything coming out of the DOJ will be timed accordingly to support Trump’s reelection. Do it now and it is old news. Do it in the spring of 2020, the entire narrative of the MSM will have to change to defending the guilty, which everyone will get to see.
Right now the optics look bad. All I can say is have patience. Trump knows what he is doing and hired the right man for the job. Plus, people haven’t gotten to their seats yet. The curtain will come up soon and my hope is it isn’t going to be kabuki theater.
I JUST LEARNED
BILL BARR WAS AG

WERE MURDERED

I UNDERSTAND NOW
THE DELAY WE FACE FOR PROSECUTIONS
OF THE KNOWN CRIMINALS
I don’t find it hard to think he had a whiff of what was going to happen to epstein.
Come on guys, we knew it here.
And the feeble excuses made for him..”he’s one man!! How could he..blah blah blah”
IT WAS THE MOST IMPORTANT PRISONER IN THE COUNTRY AND PLENTY HERE SAID HE WAS GOING TO “HANG HIMSELF”!
Come on.
Nothing’s gonna happen.
Lon Horiuchi, but yeah.
No results until its time. No trial by the press before its time. No leaks about pending crimes before their time. This is your new professional DOJ.
On the contrary. Time is of the essence. Witness memory fades, evidence is destroyed, etc.
I can’t help but compare the investigative pace of the “Trump” DOJ and the Mueller investigation. Mueller of course had perjury traps, indictments and guilty pleas in months. OTOH, the “Trump” DOJ is slow walking even administrative investigations of now 3 year old Democrat crimes. The proof is in the pudding right there, unfortunately.
Where there is a will, there is way. Sadly, there is clearly no will inside the beltway to prosecute Democrats to the benefit of President Trump.
It’s so funny because we had all posted Epstein was a dead man walking and it was still a shock when it happened. Just another example of “in your face.”
We are in agreement.
I remember some reporter said that one morning her husband said, “did you hear about Epstein?” She said, “What...he killed himself?”
It wasn’t a tough call.
This is why this should be upped as a murder investigation, which would result in completely different media coverage. But I agree. Nothing will happen. I suspect too much is at stake. Kinda like the Kennedy shooting.
Agreed.
Thanx ..... I just learned this today and I am blown away.
It WAS an initial shock but not a long lasting one as you are right, we were expecting it.
It’s like that sick aunt who passes. You are still shocked when you get the call, but you knew it was a possibility.
I’m not saying that is what is going down here, but when people’s actions don’t seem to make sense, it means they are doing what they are doing due to knowledge and motives that we are not privy to.
What’s going on here is Donald J. Trump is POTUS. Every careerist inside the beltway hates him.
I would bet my house Barr would be moving heaven and earth had a Democrat admin been spying on President Jeb Bush. It’s that simple really. Trump is the crime victim therefore there is no crime in the eyes of beltwayers. You can trace all this nonsense back to bipartisan Never Trumpism and the “Resistance” The end (removing Trump via resignation or the ballot box) justifies the means.
Some freeper here reminded us of it several weeks ago. Freeping has to be a full time job to catch most of the nuggets.
OTOH, reliance on “technology” could prove to be their weakness. Technology requires electrons in motion.
Well.. If we can go back to relying on ourselves and not technology.. We Win.
We had a hot day here not long ago and within minutes had three separate power outages that knocked out power in most of the county for hours. “Journalists” online claimed that one was due to a “downed tree” but the reason for the other two was not given by VA Power. If the grid can’t handle a “hot day” how in the world will it survive hundreds or even thousands of sudden “loss of infrastructure”?
LOL ......... those guys were great together.
