Good points. I believe it’s a chicken-and-egg phenomenon; maybe it doesn’t matter if DC juries drifted far to the left first, or if the two-tier justice system was the first and dominant cause. The idea that DC juries won’t convict prominent Dem defendants certainly would be a tempting excuse for Law and Order to not even try.

Just wow - because writing down privileged conversations with president and them leaking through a friend to the press, after he just tried to gas light the new president by telling him about the Dossier - all that while being part of this coupe attempt via the falsifying of FISA warrant application. This is the Director of the FBI - that's just a policy violation. I see.

It all points to one thing president Obama was highly involved in the day to day operations of spying on American citizens on a vast scale and further using it to help friends and take out political enemies.

It started in 2009

“John Solomon said today on Hannity that his sources indicate NO grand jury has been assembled on anything Barr is interested in.“

That’s all we need to know. No accountability. Fox and talk radio will continue rants daily through the 2020 election, but they all know it’s over.

Tom Fitton is the only guy who comes close to admitting that.

I didn’t say it did. I was referencing what you said - hence the “quotes”

My point was even if he had broken laws which Jay Sekulow and Jared Craig believe - or even if he hadn’t and it was brought to court on hearsay evidence -

James Comey would be the easiest official to indict because everyone hates him -especially in D.C. because democrats believe he sunk Hillary.

Everyone says it will be hard to convict democrats in D.C. - Comey would be the exception.

I have read the first 15 or 20 pages of the report, and it mainly seems about Comey’s notes to himself which he started writing up after the private dinner with the President at which the President asked for his personal LOYALTY. Not loyalty to the Constitution, but personally to him. Frankly if I were working for a big company and the CEO asked me for personal loyalty, I would start taking notes too, since I would consider my loyalty to be to the stockholders and my HONESTY to the CEO, which is basically what Comey said. Other thinks the President asked for was for Comey to ditch the Steele report, and certain things about Russia. He kept records of 4 communications home which he considered personal, buy gave all memos to the FBI.

So I guess you could call the Report a nothingburger if you want.

Comey wrote that info in his notes, but he better hope that Trump wasn't recording their conversations. Trump isn't dumb, I'm sure he was already aware that Comey wasn't trustworthy, so I highly doubt that Trump would have said anything of note when speaking to Comey.

After the reports came out about Comey making memos of conversation right after Trump communications, I believe Trump threatened him that he HAD recorded these contacts. I think I saw this mentioned in the Report, but have not heard more about Trump’s recordings.

I don’t know if it was a plea deal or a DC citizen jury, but the Chairman of the DC Council ended up going to jail for misuse of funds. See Google, Kwame Brown, Chairman, DC Council. And you are right that DC juries are usually pro Democrat, but they are also usually anti corruption, except for Mayor and Councilmember Marion Barry.

The government argued that it didn't need a warrant to spy for foreign intelligence. The court agreed. The flip side is that without a warrant, the info can't be used to prosecute a crime....

Sounds wonderful. They really want to follow the 4th amendment!

Congress didn't want to tell the public the truth, that the government can spy without a warrant, so created FISA to make a cushy job for lawers and judges, and hide the fact from the public, that the government spies its ass off without warrants.

Did you expect him to be prosecuted?
