No date? No care!
Thanks for posting.
Wait...your building one too? What kit did you get? I got the A.C.M.E. one on clearance.
You won’t ever see it because it will be classified. That way no one goes to jail.
I want some of what Nunes is smoking ...
Hopium.
🚬
Dr McCoy.....They’re dead, Jim.
YAY!!! Another REPORT!!! WHEEEEE! QQQ!
Yawn.
Same old crap…
Better sit by the window and watch for the pigs…
Forgive my edit of your excerpt--done to save space and hold attention. The last point is the very thing I was wondering about; is it possible Clinesmith earned the leniency he received?
The Lindsey Graham of the house.

NO EXCITEMENT WITHOUT INDICTMENTS.
IANAL, but from everything I’ve read at the time of his sentencing, almost certainly not. When Clinesmith pleaded guilty, it was noted by the judge that he didn’t provide any information to the state for consideration at sentencing. IOW, he wasn’t a cooperating witness of any kind. Moreover, it was FAR less than an absolute allocution taking ownership of and assuming the consequences for his plainly criminal actions. He essentially denied any wrongdoing while pleading guilty.
Many conservative lawyers noted at the time that not only was it unusual that the judge allowed him to deny guilt while pleading guilty, but it happened without any comment from the prosecutors. If they had a ‘deal’ in place where he pleads guilty to a lessor charge in exchange for some consideration, there is no way they would have allowed him to deny guilt when he pleaded guilty because it could possibly complicate testimony he might offer against others. The implication is simply that they’re not expecting future testimony from him.
Why then did the Feds agree to a lessor plea of guilty and a laughably unserious sentence that leaves the door open to him retaining his law license (which he almost certainly will)? That is a question only Bill Barr can answer...and hasn’t yet.
Every Intelligence pick has done the damage - I had hoped some of Trump’s picks would have been better.
Free beer tomorrow.

Wut? Devin Nunes uncovered some of the most egregious abuses of power by federal law enforcement agents since Watergate. He did it largely all by himself without any help from fellow House GOP Leaders and subjected himself to ridicule from the usual subjects in the process (including being spied upon himself).
He did EVERTYTHING that was expected of him in the role he had. Committee Chairman can only illuminate wrongdoing. They’re not prosecutors or judges. For 4-years, Donald Trump’s DOJ did NOTHING to act on the information uncovered by Nunes. If you’re mad at someone for inaction, be mad at Trump.
Dam right some people will go to prison! Lets see, Trump, Mrs. Trump, Don Jr. Anyone associated with Trump and close personal family. Barron Trump is to be young to be charged as an adult, but he is tall enough to be one and then some, so he’ll be charged anyways.
Maybe this is an attempt to flush out some cornered perps.
Maybe just politics?
