Good catch; I never looked at it that way...

Well, he’d certainly want judges he considered reliably willing to stick to the law and not those who cling to his opposition.

There won’t be any indictments.

This is all for show.

Barr is complicit. So is Huber.

Deal with it.

Sucker. All those ‘sealed indictments’ are a wide variety of court documents, very few having anything to do with any kind of politics.

There’s some chance that a few coupsters get some charges, but don’t bet your house on it.

They all hate POTUS inside the DOJ building and do not want to support him. It’s that simple.

No skewers. I think only Trump and Barr really know what’s happening at this point.

My own personal “guess:” The institutional power of the CIA and FBI, leading the vast permanent Fed.gov bureaucracy, is so great - no President can simply fire them all, or send them to jail without causing a civil war or destroying his own plans. They are America’s Praetorian Guard.

Trump has probably replaced enough apparatchiks in their ranks, exposed the worst ones, and they have experienced enough public embarrassment, that the deep-staters are laying low - for now. Its a kind of truce.

What happens if Trump is elected again - maybe the war gets hot again.

Hillary clinton wa indictable when comes summarized her crimes at the press conference. Sessions/trump decided too not exercise their own judgement.

Where are the investigation reports on the clinton foundation, uranium wash thru to russia, sedition by Clinton and Comey Lynch and Obama; why wasn’t;t Biden investigated by the DOJ two years ago when he confessed on video at the CFR meeting? Why? Why?

No equal justice under the law in the US no matter who the president is.

...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?

Cool. Another hope-porn theory.

Let's put it on a Twitter roll and make up a bunch of stuff to support it.

Meanwhile, reality says that Sessions was recused, Rosenstein was a black hat, Huber was tasked to do very little, and Horowitz was a whitewasher.

It all comes down to Barr and Durham.

I have considered that Trump needed to stack the courts with just judges who would uphold the law.

He’s been busy rooting out the Seep state and this latest impeachment fiasco blew up in the dems faces.

It could not have worked out better.

By trying to impeach him over the Ukrainian deal they exposed their own connections with it and now that they have, it gives Trump an excellent reason to investigate further.

I would love to see justice done and people going to jail, too.

No skewer, but I disagree. It’s not like the courts have vast among of judicial vacancies. They just happen and a drip drip basis all the time.
I’d be surprised if Durham issues a report. Prosecutors produce indictments, not reports. Per one of the posters below on the reaction of some GOP Senators of getting to the bottom of the Biden malarkey, I’m not holding g out any undue hope anything is going to happen

The rumor has been that Durham will be not be finished with his investigation until late spring/early summer. This would be just after the last of the primaries in early June.

I’m thinking this is just disinformation to forestall any kind of preemptive attempts by the Demonrats to manufacture some event to consume the news.

By the time March ends, thirty states will have had primaries. The Demonrats will be locked into their nomination scenario, likely one of a brokered convention or some sort of (homage to Joe Biden) malarkey involving super delegates and rules changes.

Between the end of March and the end of April there are only a smattering of relatively uninteresting state primaries until primaries in NY, PA, CT, DE, MD, and RI on April 28.

I’m thinking the indictments will drop during this lull in the primary season and will cause the Demonrats to, among other things, hype up their electioneering malarkey.

I for one don’t want a bunch of half a$$ed indictment that will blow up in court. I expect some of the low hanging fruit to be indicted first (bring pressure on big fish and deny ‘rats something to rally their support pre election. After re-election, watch out.

There will be no mass indictments. There will absolutely NOT be “military tribunals” or incarcerations at GTMO. If he tried that, Trump would immediately be removed from office.

DOJ will only indict if they are confident they can convict or force a plea. Those cases are going to be rare, and those who are responsible are unlikely to be held so.

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.

I think the judiciary was an important step.

FISA declass to awaken the public

Durham indictments then understood in context of crimes

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.

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