I agree with you totally!

But I saw what you did there.

Just don’t let’s get in to indicting former Presidents unless the crime is particularly heinous, like getting an ambassador killed.

Dude, what kind of “proof” do you expect to get?

I’ve heard three concordant reports that fit with what we have seen happening—or not happening, rather.

My take:

Kolfage demanded a salary, Bannon agreed and arranged moving the money to pay his salary and expenses. While he was at it, he took care of himself and the other two defendants. Probably legal except that they had agreed that they would not take any compensation and made that promise publically to the donors. As Ricky said: “Lucy you have a lot of explaining to do.”

So whoever is president gets a lifetime stay out of jail free card?

IMO he’s the last guy who should be given that.

And Klinesmith is a p-poor substitute for going after the president and VP as the real perpetrators.

THere is no swamp draining—zero—if everyone of significance is protected.

"...“does not know the people involved with this project,” which was immediately contradicted by media reports and other evidence."

Yeah! Sure!
"Evidence" and "reports" we can really believe.../s

Same E & R generators/sources were used for Russian collusion and peeing on the bed...

Just one more charge to be added to the list in late January by the new administration (if elected)...
By March or April, Trump, wife, children, and many friends will die, be jailed in Libya or Thailand, or be in insane asylums getting lobotomies...

Communist history is clear on these tactics...

As a reminder...
The communists have a strategy that has been used throughout their history... (Only the names are changed):

Prosecutors have asked for funds in various We Build the Wall bank accounts to be forfeited, which could leave the group without the means to continue operating.

Literally the bottom line of that story.

De Facto immunity is ethereal and not ratified by
a judge. How binding do you think that would be? And do you think Barr is doing that?

He is a she.

Audrey is female. And she worked for U.S. attorney, Geoffrey Berman who was removed by President Trump on June 20th. She was the Asst. U.S. Attorney under Berman.

Of course not. It is an informal term for being told from the top that some honchos are off limits.

Barr is the overlord at this point. And yes, I absolutely do. THought he would from before he was named. He’s long been a CIA/Bush family fixer. Only came back to make sure the deal with Trump was kept.

Since then he’s fiddled and diddled and done nothing but cough up a puny charge on a puny little foot soldier just before the election and right about as the statute of limitations is coming up on many possible charges.

...and watch it vanish down the rabbit hole.

It would turn to smoke and the people who donated it
will probably get none of it back.

Lawyers and officials will make out though.

A truce between the Bush and Trump families. As the Bush family was supportive of Russiagate and particularly the Mueller probe. And reportedly after Poppy’s death, none of the next generation wanted to carry on his corrupt business.

Agree. He should be named as an unindicted co-conspirator but not charged himself.
