The letter from DoJ to Nunez seems to me to be confirmation that there are ongoing investigations that would be compromised if they give Nunez what he wants, especially because they explicitly state that the White House was consulted. If they had only said after consulting with just the FBI that it was an issue, then it would definitely be suspect. If the WH was truly consulted, Im ok with it. ON THE OTHER HAND, congress is the oversight of WE THE PEOPLE, we must rightfully be given the information requested. They cannot claim fear of leaks. That is irrelevant in terms of the constitution. ON THE OTHER HAND, elected members of Congress have seriously digressed from their jobs that perhaps DoJ is doing us a favor in not giving over to Nunez.
Is Nunez just playing for the camera? Hope so.
And I especially liked him calling the white hats "the Alliance." It allowed me to make a World of Warcraft joke and call the Deep State, "The Horde". My inner nerd was amused.

This is my favorite cartoon by you, Bobby. You need to figure out how to give that wider play. It cracks me up every time I see it. Hat? T-shirt? Tagline? Something.

Sad.
Not exactly what people like me are saying. Holder was a corrupt AG protecting a corrupt President. He showed how easy it is to be a firewall between any investigation and Presidential action. He was in sync with his President, and made sure no one would get a chance to know what was really going on. Sessions is allowing a corrupt DOJ and DS to attack the President he serves. He is not showing his courage by letting the DOJ hide and obfuscate all their nefarious activities over the last 2 years. He is being wimply. He was not a firewall between the DS and the President, he allowed himself to be taken out of the equation entirely and let a DS Deputy create a firestorm that the President has to deal with every day from a phony allegation that everyone, including RR, knows is phony. The difference between Holder and Sessions is that Sessions is not serving his President by taking on those who would attack him with legal actions and investigations. If Sessions wanted to by like Holder, he would be going after Trump's enemies and exposing all the FISA abuses, among many other things.
Boente hasn’t resigned/retired yet, any Qlues?
If that isn't a typo, I frikken love it. Is it a real word or your own clever concoction?
I declare wimply the word of the day.

I disagree with that comparison. Holder did not go after criminals, he went after political enemies, and aided and abetted criminals, and was one himself.
Sessions is not serving his President by taking on those who would attack him with legal actions and investigations.
Do you personally have knowledge that Sessions is not doing this? Because if you are not personally involved in the DOJ and know personally what Sessions and those associated with him are or are not doing, you really do NOT know this. I trust that Sessions is doing exactly what he should be doing.
That hope as set out #959 seems to me to be entirely wishful thinking. The last year and a half have been extremely damaging to Trump, and anyone who suggested he should go through it because there is going to be a grand reveal at the end would have been told that it was crazy. Instead, assign 10 great prosecutors, like Rudy, to look into Fisa, FBI, U1, Benghazi, Clinton Foundation, put together a few grand juries, bring in people like McCabe to sweat in front of the GJ, and start working your way up the ladder, methodically and purposefully. Every week, announce a new indictment. Start out with easy stuff—leaks and lies. Work your way up to Multi-million dollar treason plots, like U1 and Iran. Prepare the people for the evil, and then start proving it, with documents, songbirds, guilty pleas.
That’s how you would do it. You sure as hell would not say, “subject me to torture, hurt our party and our cause, prevent me from being strong enough to deal with Congress and make foreign countries doubt my power. Then we’ll show ‘em.”
That they did not do the straight forward approach lies entirely on Sessions and his standing aside at the exact moment he was needed.
That's not entirely true. Information outside the contract (letters, verbal discussions) can be used to clarify the meaning of the contract. Most contracts contain a clause the forbids the use of such evidence, because otherwise, it is admissible. Outside evidence cannot be used to contradict the plain terms of a written contract, where it is clear that the parties intended that the contract be an "integrated", i.e., whole, contract.
You’ve got it all figured out and know the best strategy, eh? Smarter than Trump, smarter than Sessions, with inside knowledge of all the variables? O great one, what have you done with your life to gain such vaunted certainty and knowledge?
I see it.

I knew you would. It was intended for anyone with a taste for abstraction and a warped sense of humor.
Interesting. I have at least three unpublished books... I have never figured out the key to getting published. I post them on the web and they seem to do fairly well.
I remember files being given to the NY police? that were described as being so disgusting and repulsive they should never be publicized. Do you have the name of the one who gave them?
ThankQ. I avoid as much of it as possible.
edzo4 purchased his literary license in Taipei, date uncertain. He’s kept it up to date.
It was just for a smile; a gloomy Sunday afternoon here. My peace I give unto you... ;^)
Normally, that would be the case. However, Trump's hands were tied. He could get rid of Sessions, but he could not replace him. The Senate would not give him an AG of the kind that he would want. McConnell even kept the Senate in session while on holiday just so Trump couldn't fire Sessions and do a recess appointment. While the AG post remained unfilled, RR would run the DOJ, entirely unchecked. He had already shown himself as a black hat, by pushing Mueller for FBI, and when he didn't get it, naming him as SC, and using Comey's firing as the basis. What a phony excuse that was, and everyone, including Trump, knew at that moment that RR was part of the "get Trump" effort. There are trillions at stake, and the depth of the cabal pushing to get rid of Trump is greater than most can imagine. Trump could only express his displeasure through his tweets, but he couldn't fire Sessions. And Sessions knows it, so he stays, continuing to do what his masters bid.
He is pretty wack but did a great summary of Q’s stuff IMO. He’s got a spiderweb intellect, definitely not alphanumeric. Algorithmic? LOL I have a friend like him so I’ve heard it all except my friend doesn’t follow the anons.
