Barry on Levin, That should be Good! Wish I had a TV.

If you have a mind to, it will probably be streaming on the net an hour or so after it airs. Youtube, vimeo, just ddg it ... g'luck!

[AndyJackson]

Pretty sure Trump had NO IDEA HOW CORRUPT OUR LAW PEOPLE ARE!

Pretty sure you are wrong.

[AndyJackson]

The person who really has no clue is Hannity. He keeps talking about the 99% of honest law enforcement officers. If there are 20% I will fall off my chair in surprise.

[Ann Archy]

When he came in, he had no idea.....now he knows and its SHOCKING to him!

[AndyJackson]

I misread your statement as “has” rather than “had.”

[servantboy777]

Agree

[Ann Archy]

No Prob!

[Big Red Badger]

Thanks,
I’ll try that.
Hopeing Barr is All in
for Trump Draining the
Swamp and All the Traitors!
The Swamp is Deeper than
Previously imagined,
Horribly Deeper.

They are not going to prison. In fact, thy are not even going to be tried. What they will do is continue to plot to remove President from Power until they succeed and live high on the hog.

[MAGAthon]

indict now.
the plotters (including many in the FakeNewsMSM) are still pushing their fake narratives, & Christopher Steele is still a Russia “expert”! unbelievable:

7 Aug 2020: BBC: Christopher Steele: Ex-spy says more must be done to stop Russian interference
By Gordon Corera, Security correspondent
There must be an organised effort to prevent Russia from disrupting and distorting political life, former MI6 officer Christopher Steele has warned.
Mr Steele was behind the so-called Trump-Russia dossier, which alleged collusion between Moscow and the US president’s 2016 election campaign.

In an interview with Conservative MP Damian Collins, he warned that Russia is targeting all political parties.
He added the UK had been “behind the curve” in deterring Russian activity...

***Former MI6 officer Mr Steele gave evidence to the Intelligence and Security Committee’s Russia inquiry, which released its report last month.
The report criticised the security services for failing to investigate whether the Kremlin had interfered in Brexit and other areas of politics in recent years...
Moscow has denied any role in this and other acts of political interference...

Mr Steele, who left MI6 in 2009 and set up a private business intelligence firm called Orbis, is best known for his role in the so-called Trump-Russia dossier, which was made public in January 2016.
It alleged collusion between Mr Trump’s election campaign and Russia and has become the subject of intense political battles, with the US president tweeting that he wanted Mr Steele extradited.
Some of the dossier’s claims have been disputed and Mr Steele did not discuss it in detail in the podcast interview, as legal action is ongoing.

***He did say, though, that he expects more interference in the 2020 US election with some foreign governments concerned about the Democratic candidate Joe Biden winning in November.
“We are on the defensive,” Mr Steele argued, adding that the West is weaker than at any point since the end of the Cold War.

Dejevsky also writes for UK Independent & Guardian:

1 Aug: UK Spectator: Should the Russia Report have relied on Christopher Steele?
by Mary Dejevsky
When the Intelligence and Security Committee’s (ISC) Russia Report was finally published last week, the name of one person who gave evidence will have leapt out for many people. Among the ‘external expert witnesses’ listed was none other than a certain ‘Mr Christopher Steele, Director of Orbis Business Intelligence Ltd’.

Steele, you may remember, was the official author of the dossier on Donald Trump that was commissioned on behalf of the US Democratic Party in the run-up to the 2016 US election and which acquired a second life when it was published by Buzzfeed shortly before Trump’s inauguration...

We shall probably never know either what Steele told the Intelligence and Security Committee all those months ago, or how much credence his testimony commanded. There is a large annex to the ISC report that is classified and crucial passages in the published report are redacted...

I doubt that the interview is live. And if anything breaking, Fox would have run clips of it.

Dont have a lot hope in Barr, another award winning pick from Trump courtesy of McConnell.

[MAGAthon]

Steele listed as “expert”.

(where were you for 3.5 years, Durham doesn’t interview anyone personally, etc).....

---

Better question: Where has Durham been for 16 months? Clinesmith is documented fraud upon the fisa court. That’s a slam dunk case. Yet no perp walk and he was allowed to quietly “retire” from the FIB. There is 3 1/2 year long pattern here of the “Trump” DOJ refusing to validate the positions of POTUS. It’s like pulling teeth getting anything out of Main DOJ. Now Trump’s first term is over and he’ll never get those years back.

[servantboy777]

>>They are not going to prison. In fact, thy are not even going to be tried.<<

Man...I just can't argue your point. I will hold out for the Barr/Durham thang.

After this concludes and no one is held accountable, no one arrested then I will be absolutely convinced that we no longer enjoy freedom/liberty and that all this nonsense about the rule of law that holds our country together is all a big fat lie.

I will then adjust my outlook on this country accordingly.

[lodi90]

I was just at CTH catching up ... It needn’t be a distraction, that depends on the people reading. But, to me, it seems like his motive might be what the Post, Times, etc. are famous for - getting out ahead of something harmful. He mentions Flynn and October Surprise. Maybe there will be some very interesting new info at the Flynn hearing, and maybe certain people are worried about an October surprise.

It’s either that or the Romneyite Never Trumpers are intent on blowing up Bagpipe Bill/Graham’s carefully planned election season roll out of Spygate news. This guy has blown a hole in their time line now. Let’s see what happens next.

[sport]

I was hoping they would at least be tried. But now I believe that is just wishful thinking. As they say,”Money talks and bullshit walks.”

[servantboy777]

If this is just a show, if the deep state picks a scapegoat or two and the rest walk Scott free...it'll raise major red flags for me.

I grew up in a time that we'd watch....The F-B-I with Effrin Zimbalist jr. Man, the FBI was like cool. You had the agency on your tail...you a bad dude. Your time is limited outside a 6x9 cell.

Now, I've seen federal agents from all sorts of agencies, not just the FBI...crooked as hell. Federal prosecutors hiding evidence that would help the defense, agents closing ranks to cover for one another and so forth.

Then you have to ask the question, “are we really truly free?” In the near future, will you be offed or arrested on false charges to silence decent just like in the old Soviet Union or Communist China.

Is the government on our side or is this all Kabuki theater?
Alarming times.

[smvoice]

...so this guy walks into a Thread and starts ranting about how things are NEVER going to get better. Never, ever, etc. Does the guy realize he’s wandered into the wrong thread and politely find another thread that’s pro-NEVER? Time will tell

[smvoice]

Oh, sorry. I just realized the PRO- NEVER bus has shown up. It’s a GROUP, not a GUY.
