Operation LeGend
Operation LeGend is a federal partnership with local law enforcement to address the increase in homicides and violent crime in Kansas City, Mo., in 2020. The operation honors the memory of four-year-old LeGend Taliferro, one of the youngest fatalities during a record-breaking year of homicides and shootings. Additional federal agents were assigned to the operation from the FBI, Drug Enforcement Administration, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, and the U.S. Marshals Service.

But, Barr can’t detect any criminality in the DOJ even with a paper trail a mile long and the culprits bragging about it.

Barr does detect and remove criminality within the DOJ. The MSM doesn't report it, and to avoid riots, some in the DOJ have been allowed to pretend they are leaving on their own accord (Mueller, Rosenstein). The reason many have flocked to MSM positions as "consultants" is to claim when prosecution against them emerges that the Trump administration is trying to "silence them" as whistleblowers.

All who participated in the farce known as Hillary Clinton's "mid-term review" have been fired, along with others. More to come.

That’s awesome. Thanks for the info. Looking forward to prosecutions, while hoping the Democrats lose this election as they get their mail-in ballots rejected as fraudulent.

There is a vast difference between getting fired and being imprisoned for treason. Some people may have been moved out, but that is the same as being labeled and punished for what they did. It is just an admission on Barr’s part that he knows what they did but is willing to let them skate.

I believe they are being prosecuted. The Deep Staters were refusing to attend hearings starting in March (Clapper and others) using Covid-19 as an excuse. That’s why the dems are pushing Covid-19 lockdowns - to halt the hearings. Clapper is quoted as saying, “I would be happy to attend hearings, as soon as there’s a vaccine.”

Clapper et. al. will likely get their vaccines at Fort Marcy Park if they want to play this game.

“Don’t be so simplistically naive.”

Don’t walk around with your head up your ass denying reality.

Do you even have the ability to grasp the scope of the whole deal and how even a tine screw up can make the whole thing disappear? There are so many players and so many webs of semi-true, false, semi-false data intertwined ti takes meticulous care to make all the necessary connections to have a viable legal case to take actions.

“Do you even have th4e ability to grasp...”

Obviously, you think you do, but are too stupid to recognize that we have to take that on blind faith. Only a Q believer takes things on blind faith.

The only “screw up” that will make the whole thing disappear is a refusal to act on evidence before it can disappear or be destroyed.
