Investigate whatever you wish about 2016 but donā€™t forget the people of the FBI must investigate and stop Russian efforts in the 2020 election. What impact will loose talk about ā€œspyingā€ and disgraceful talk about ā€œtreasonā€ have on FBI agents and analysts?

You assume that we survive this and return to some semblance of Rule of Law. Iā€™m not holding my breath. I am too grounded in history of human civilization. I want the good guys to win, but some days my native optimism is lacking.

I am absolutely confident that any information thatā€™s inconsistent with the Stasi put-up job AG Renfield been ordered to put together will be too highly, super-secret to release.

ā€œDNI Feels Need To Express Confidence In Barrā€™s Secret-Keeping Skills.ā€

I share DNIā€™s confidence in ā€œBarrā€™s secret-keeping skillsā€.

Iā€™m confident Barr will try to keep ALL of Trumpā€™s secrets.

Russian kompromat, Wikileaks conspiracy, money launderingā€¦

More likely they are compiling lists for use in the ā€œNight of Long Knives.ā€ They are planning to ā€œPurgeā€ the Federal Government of all ā€œDisloyalā€ employees and this will be used as ā€œevidenceā€ against them.

Seig Heil.

At least theyā€™re completely incompetent at everything.

Exactly so. In bureaucratese, the very fact that Coats felt the need to write ā€“ and publicize ā€“ this statement is a code for ā€œBarr, weā€™re watching you, and you had damn well better follow the rules on thisā€.

In the BBCā€™s old Yes Minister series, this was called the ā€œGood Chapā€ principle: A good chap does not tell a good chap what a good chap ought to know.

By telling so, you are implying that the recipient of your advice is not acting like a Good Chap.

Hey now. It only took 2 Global Wars and the worst Depression in History to ā€œget overā€ the Guilded Age of the 1880s, and they didnā€™t have Facebook, FOX News, and the Internet to exacerbate the dystopian slide into despotism.

Cheer up. You will be dead before itā€™s all over anyway. /s

This country is fucked nine ways from Sunday

Next up. Trump grants Barr unlimited power to examine AND PUBLISH the Tax Returns of Private Citizens and the unlimited power to publish Grand Jury deliberations on any US citizen.

Some days I am glad to only have another 30 or 40 years on this planet. I am reading Frankopanā€™s ā€œSilk Roadsā€ right now. Humans are horrible creatures!

Exactly, so that it really is a veiled warning.

I know that Trump has lied to Barr because thatā€™s all Trump knows how to do. Iā€™m not at all sure that Barr yet knows just who he is really working for and I hope that he is still a tad naive about that because heā€™s about to get his toenails melted. What makes anyone think that that intel is anything but hair-raisingly awful about Trump and his people?

I read Silk Roads and didnā€™t get the god humans are awful creatures from it at all. O wellā€¦

Dan Coates is not an idiot. Neither are the numerous intelligence heads. There have been some past reports that the intelligence agencies have been reticent about releasing information to Trump especially after Helsinki and the Oval Office gab-fest with those Ruskies where he told them classified info.

Despite the inherent OMG! reality that Barr has carte blanche, I seriously/hopefully think the intelligence community will continue their reticence with Trumpā€™s hack AG nutcracker Barr, especially wrt Russian informants.
