The DNC and Media are having a field day with Barr, Trump and all of us. McCabe was cleared on one possible charge out of several that he is still on the hook for. Stone can still be cleared without the President stepping in to pardon him. Burr quitting amid all the finger pointing going on is the last thing any of us need.
Poor judge - how did she break lose from the moral moorings of a fine upper middle class upbringing. Now she has to decide whether to confirm her corrupt ways and maintain the deep state Pyrrhic victory over Stone or does she hide her corruption from the bright glare of public scrutiny on a case where everyone is watching, and just this once do the right thing, where there is a large danger that this will get overturned on appeal.
Decisions, decisions, decisions ....
I guess it's really easy. Do whatever you can to poke a stick at that horrible orange man who never should have been president and just fooled the ignoramuses about what kind of a person he really was.
‘It’s now the “JUST US” Department!!’
Been saying his on this site for almost two years and that no one on the dems and deep state side were going to pay...been severely criticized...can’t see where I have been wrong yet! Hope I am...I am all in for TRUMP...if he doesn’t get cheated out of the election in Nov only he has the last chance to finally do something...only he does - no one else will!
She’s a district court judge. They all abuse their discretion on purpose, knowing that the harmed person has a “right to appeal.” A fairly common remark by a trial judge confronted with obvious error is “you know how to take an appeal.”
Trial courts are outcome-oriented (so are the appeals courts), with enough discretion and precedent available - not to mention the use of rank intellectual dishonesty - with the result being that law is effectively the whim of the trial judge. The whim is couched in legal mumbo-jumbo, of course.
She suffers no harm in doubling down. Deny the motion for retrial, sentence Stone to 9 years, and let the appeals court sort it out.
The congress is clearly afraid of these agencies and refuses to hold them accountable or even expose their wrongdoing and malfeasance. In a free country there has to be accountability. Right now there is none.
Trump’s total f’up of Presidential Personnel Management (the worst of any President) has significantly harmed his first term and he will do only marginally better in his second.
He arrived clueless and was a real slow learner. You don’t give the bear warnings that you are going to drive him from his den, show up and then feed it, and expect it to leave.
Kurt S hints at our only defense in a corrupt judicial system: jury nullification.
Thanks.
Not the one I was thinking of.
Maybe I got the title wrong...

Hi.
“Pot Brothers at Law.”
I can’t figure out how to link.
Sheesh.

I find it telling that there is no outrage from Barr over the lawless partisan behaviour and corruptiion that has destryoed the reputation, and indeed Americans’ trust, in those departments. Its hard to image anyone in a high position of leadership not expressing disgust and strong disapproval of such criminality. The only conclusion can be that he is either incredibly passive or is enabling and defending such behaviour.
In fact, it appears that Barr is clueless and not even in control of DOJ. His subordinates seem to be running circles around him.
Barr’s passiveness is having a devastating effect on peoples’ confidence (or lack thereof) in our most trusted institutions. He has massive resources at his disposal yet has not so much as even indicted a single person.
We are watching, taking notes, and won’t soon forget who facilitated the breakdown of American law.
Jefferson was absolutely spot on. Centralized government power leads to oppression of the people. And unmitigated corruption as we now see.
A bureaucracy is never good.
That is very possible, but Barr might have nothing to do with that. Most likely it goes to a much higher power.
Trump is the Last President (if Barr continues to sit on his ass).

You may well be right. The Democrats have probably come to the conclusion that they can never allow another Trump-like person in office again. When they succeed in getting someone elected to the presidency they will see to it that such a populist outcome never happens again. They will do whatever they need to do to prevent that, regardless of the tactics required.
They are practically telegraphing their intentions right now through intimidation, vote rigging, attempts at changing the electoral system, never ending impeachment, congressional harrassment, vote harvesting, unlawful surveillance of political opponents, etc. They are obviously committed to this.
Somebody needs to inform Hannity. He loves the “hard-working federal LEO’s and their “patriotism.”
***************
Give them a break. They are so hard-working that they don’t have time to report corruption and malfeasance. /sarc
That judge needs to be impeached. We will need a Republican House, with a majority of at least 20 (to account for RINOs) to make that happen, even in theory.
So I have zero faith in Barr or the entire corrupt system.
*****************
A rational conclusion that has been reached by millions of your fellow countrymen.
It is better to have NO bureaucracy at all than a corrupt one.
**************
Wait just one minute. We have the BEST bureaucracy money can buy! /sarc
The rot is deep and pervasive. Government workers have attitude, and the power to enforce it.
***************
The people in government (at least in DC) are mostly there to protect, expand and perpetuate the system. They actually work FOR on another, not to serve the larger interests of the people (taxpayers) who fund their lucrative and comfortable lifestyles. This an observation from someone who has done work for many departments in the Swamp.
They are there for them, not us.
