Your celebration, not to mention your #Tyrannogasm, remains premature.

In the Swamp everybody has a Jailable/blackmailable something on everybody else.
It’s why Hitlery is reputed to have said “If I go down I’m taking half of D.C. down with me.”
It’s really more like 90%.
I don’t think we will witness all of it either. I am pretty resigned to being dissatisfied with whatever we get, but I will say if the majority of the story and facts that we know to be true are released and put out there, it would go a long way towards righting a wrong.
Everyone is stuck on the most salacious item Barr addressed today - the news cycle spin that Trump directed Barr to investigate Obama and Barr’s statement.
However, what Barr said today is far more conclusive and much stronger than his previous statements about this.
He flat out said it was all BS. He has been hinting at it for awhile, but I think the statement today was a flat declaration by a man who is privy to the Durham investigation. Barr is very careful. He would NEVER have said what he did today if he did not know it to be true and provable and if he did not know that we will all find this out.
Yes, please don’t let reality stop you from enjoying how the House is safe in 2018 and trusting Wray & Sessions all you want. Trusty the Plan!
The never-ending list of wrongs will grow and grow but the Qult is forever.
Ok, maybe not. LOL!
Our Constitution was made for a moral and religious people.
The problem is we can’t even agree on what the rules (laws) are anymore; when we are able to cite a Specific Law, we can’t even agree on how to interpret it, much less who should be held accountable to it.
The modern operating “standard” has, undortunately, become, if s/he’s on our side, s/he gets a pass, and the law be damned.
But if s/he’s on the Other side, we’ll make up nonexistent laws & harass ‘em into bankruptcy, because the Public is too dumb to know the difference.
Barr is correct in saying not all abuses of power— or dirty tricks, in Nixonian parlance— are violations of the law.
And I will add, nor are all violations of laws tantamount to treason requiring a firing squad, just because said violations were committed by political figures.
Calls to fire Barr for failing to act according to our subjective demands (ie because we’re pissed) amount to retaliation, not justice.
The Law needs to be the objective standard.
At the same time, Barr hints that he’s definitely going after certain low- and midlevel operatives (whose names are unfamiliar to the average voter) whose actions he already knows were unlawful, and this *could* lead to more substantive info on certain bigger fish.
In any event, I think it’s zero likelihood a former POTUS or SOS will be frogmarched into a cell. That’s bad optics on the world stage.
OTOH, if it can be proven these f###kers stole from the US Treasury, then prosecution, freezing of their assets, and forced restitution would be excellent optics on the world stage.
Obama smiles and Biden can't tie his shoes.
These are days I am very disappointed in the President.
Please stop with the 3D chess garbage and the master plans.
Great Post!
Never said I don’t think it is a big deal. It’s a huge deal.
I just don’t think they will ever be prosecuted. DC always protects their own.
If anyone is going to buck that trend, it would be Barr, but I don’t think he will do it either.
But... but... this is all part of the plan.
They're setting them up.
Just wait and see.
Any day now.
etc.
/s AND ;-)
Haha!
Exactly!
He flat out said it was all BS. He has been hinting at it for awhile, but I think the statement today was a flat declaration by a man who is privy to the Durham investigation. Barr is very careful. He would NEVER have said what he did today if he did not know it to be true and provable and if he did not know that we will all find this out.
Yet again all we get is hot air from Barr. Where’s the beef? Is Barr a bystander or the Attorney General of the United States?
Is Barr holding the FIB accountable? Comey, nope. McCabe, nope. FISA forger caught red handed, nope. Love birds, nope. FIB lying to Congress during Trump admin. Nope.
The proof is in the pudding as they say.
Maddening.
Are citizens arrests still “a thing”?
All we can do is wait. You may well be right and I would not bet for one second that we will be happy.
I just searched the media coverage and articles today for Barr’s comments. They are only including the part where he said Obama/Biden would not be investigated based on what they knew.
They are completely ignoring the rest of his comments. Go figure. Even Fox News is not really covering what he said - it will be covered tonight on the prime time lineup I am sure, but so far bupkus.
In the middle of all of this..... they are printing articles that the House/Schiff wants the grand jury transcripts from the Mueller investigation so he can continue his congressional witchhunt.
Don’t you think what Barr said today is relevant? Apparently, it is not to the media. Few will listen directly to what he said, but he flatly said the whole Russian collusion delusion was pure BS from start to finish.
I guess that his statements were not newsworthy or even worth a mention in an article regarding the house witchhunt. Go figure.
President Trump will play the Golf Cart and fling James Comey into the Time Machine to send him back to December 29, 2003, the day before Comey appointed Patrick Fitzgerald to Special Counsel for the Valerie Plame affair.
The Plames will be discredited, Libby won't be prosecuted, Comey will fade into obscurity, McCain will become a do-nothing one-term President, declining to run again for health reasons that lead to a glorious two-term revival of the United States under the first woman President, Sarah Palin!

All these horrible terrible things happened but none of them were criminal. That is the end of this road Barr is leading us down.
This is a sophisticated campaign season gaslighting op going on right now. It is being executed by Barr and the GOPe who confirmed him to the AG post. They’ve helped steal Trump’s first term and do not want their fingerprints on THAT crime lest GOP base voters notice the GOP “collusion” with Democrats.
That being said: we’re mostly on the same page. Sorry if I am beating a dead horse here.
Bill Barr & Trump know exactly where Ghislaine Maxwell is. She’s alive because she has the goods.

Who was CIAMOSSAD Papi Bush fixer? CIAMOSSAD Bill Barr. Who is Trump’s fixer? CIAMOSSAD Bill Barr. What does that make Trump? CIAMOSSAD. Who was CIAMOSSAD Bill Clinton’s handler? CIAMOSSAD Papi Bush.
CIA Covert Operative William Barr Nominated by Trump for Attorney General.
Barr: CIA operative
It is a sobering fact that American presidents (many of whom have been corrupt) have gone out of their way to hire fixers to be their attorney generals.
Consider recent history: Loretta Lynch (2015-2017), Eric Holder (2009-2015), Michael Mukasey (2007-2009), Alberto Gonzales (2005-2007), John Ashcroft (2001-2005),Janet Reno (1993-2001), **** Thornburgh (1988-1991), Ed Meese (1985-1988), etc.
Barr, however, is a particularly spectacular and sordid case. As George H.W. Bush’s most notorious insider, and as the AG from 1991 to 1993, Barr wreaked havoc, flaunted the rule of law, and proved himself to be one of the CIA/Deep State’s greatest and most ruthless champions and protectors:
Barr was a full-time CIA operative, recruited by Langley out of high school, starting in 1971. Barr’s youth career goal was to head the CIA.
CIA operative assigned to the China directorate, where he became close to powerful CIA operative George H.W. Bush, whose accomplishments already included the CIA/Cuba Bay of Pigs, Asia CIA operations (Vietnam War, Golden Triangle narcotics), Nixon foreign policy (Henry Kissinger), and the Watergate operation.
When George H.W. Bush became CIA Director in 1976, Barr joined the CIA’s “legal office” and Bush’s inner circle, and worked alongside Bush’s longtime CIA enforcers Theodore “Ted” Shackley, Felix Rodriguez, Thomas Clines, and others, several of whom were likely involved with the Bay of Pigs/John F. Kennedy assassination, and numerous southeast Asian operations, from the Phoenix Program to Golden Triangle narco-trafficking.
Barr stonewalled and destroyed the Church Committee investigations into CIA abuses.
Barr stonewalled and stopped inquiries in the CIA bombing assassination of Chilean opposition leader Orlando Letelier.
Barr joined George H.W. Bush’s legal/intelligence team during Bush’s vice presidency (under President Ronald Reagan) Rose from assistant attorney general to Chief Legal Counsel to attorney general (1991) during the Bush 41 presidency.
Barr was a key player in the Iran-Contra operation, if not the most important member of the apparatus, simultaneously managing the operation while also “fixing” the legal end, ensuring that all of the operatives could do their jobs without fear of exposure or arrest.
In his attorney general confirmation, Barr vowed to “attack criminal organizations”, drug smugglers and money launderers. It was all hot air: as AG, Barr would preserve, protect, cover up, and nurture the apparatus that he helped create, and use Justice Department power to escape punishment.
Barr stonewalled and stopped investigations into all Bush/Clinton and CIA crimes, including BCCI and BNL CIA drug banking, the theft of Inslaw/PROMIS software, and all crimes of state committed by Bush
Barr provided legal cover for Bush’s illegal foreign policy and war crimes
Barr left Washington, and went through the “rotating door” to the corporate world, where he took on numerous directorships and counsel positions for major companies. In 2007 and again from 2017, Barr was counsel for politically-connected international law firm Kirkland & Ellis. Among its other notable attorneys and alumni are Kenneth Starr, John Bolton, Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, and numerous Trump administration attorneys. K&E’s clients include sex trafficker/pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, and Mitt Romney’s Bain Capital.
A strong case can be made that William Barr was as powerful and important a figure in the Bush apparatus as any other, besides Poppy Bush himself.
Now you know he did what he did.
Every single damn one of them on both sides of the aisle are worthless including Trump!!!!
Thanks for the enlightenment. So which came first? Sidney Powell and the evidence against the DOJ, or Jensen with his motion to dismiss? Seems without Sidney humiliating the DOJ, there would be no motion to dismiss, which to me just tells me Barr didnt do squat for 2 years.
Would TREASON be tried in a CRIMINAL or MILITARY court?
