Bream has tds.

Aha! The REAL reason she was hired. Being smart and attractive isn't enough for anti-Trump Fox.

And open borders is “protecting the American people” too, right? What nonsense. These pukes make me so sick...what’s not to disdain, be repulsed by these pukes!

the Caspar Weinberger indictment over Iran-Contra that was issues four days before the 1992 Presidential election
And that was under a Republican President.

And that was under a Republican President.

And that Independent Council was Lawrence Walsh, who was the Deputy Attorney General under President Eisenhower after being appointed as a Judge in the now-infamous Southern District of New York.

Walsh was a Democrat who served in Republican administrations, who dropped out of public life after the Weinberger indictments.

He died on March 19, 2014 at age 102. In his obituary story, the New York Times wrote:

After the trials of the major figures, Mr. Walsh focused on individuals suspected of having assisted or having falsely denied knowledge of Iran-contra activities, leading to criminal charges against 10 people. Seven were convicted. One CIA official’s case was dismissed on national security grounds, and Bush, who had been Reagan’s vice president at the time of the scandal, pardoned two defendants before their trials.

“By then,” John B. Judis wrote in the New York Times in 1997, “Walsh had become a Lear figure, roaming the moors of Washington, railing privately against Bush, the Senate minority leader, Bob Dole, and his other detractors.”

It sounds like Walsh had become a typical Democrat apparatchik who was called to play his part and then cast aside.

Okay so I reread post 147. If it would seem advantageous to the DOJ for the (potential) “lies” in the warrant to be made public, why not the DOJ then see that it get out then?

They want the optics of President Trump releasing the warrant. If the DoJ releases it, then the LAAP-dog media headlines would be "DoJ Says Trump Allegedly Possesses Classified Documents..." while Trump supporters would say "DoJ Failed to Release Justification for Raid of..."

If President Trump releases it, the headline would be "Former President Trump was forced to release a search warrant accusing him of hiding evidence of collusion on January 6..." and the cable shows would all be about what Trump was hiding and would call for all Republicans to disavow Trump.
