As we've heard about increasing numbers of sealed indictments over the last couple of years, a lot of people (myself included) have been asking, "WHEN is the justice going to begin?"
Different reasons have been advanced: waiting for IG's report, waiting for Durham's report, waiting until all the i's are dotted, etc. And there's probably a lot of truth to those.
However, when I heard Trump's speech on the day after acquittal, he mentioned the number of federal judges appointed -- now 191 confirmed. And that got me to thinking... maybe Trump had to restore the judiciary first, to handle the sheer volume of cases that would be forthcoming (and the inevitable appeals, etc.). Maybe there had to be a minimum number of judge vacancies filled before the wheels of justice can start turning?
Unless they're all going to be military tribunals -- and I don't know if there are sufficient personnel to handle such a large number.
Just my random thoughts, FReepers, you can go ahead and skewer me now. 😏
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.
What is becks latest video? Link?
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.
I’ll wait.
Dont hold your breath.

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
Hes got all the evidence he needs to empanel Grand Juries and issue subpoenas. The fact that he hasnt 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.
Read his next book to find out! ;-)
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.
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.
