“This is a many-headed beast, and I don’t know that you can cut everything off,”
Sorry, there were many things people didn’t know was possible until they were perpetrated by Team Trump.
OT but this just in What? No Trump

Facebook announced Thursday afternoon that it had designated some high-profile people, including Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan, who’s notorious for using anti-Semitic language, and right-wing conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, as “dangerous” and said it will be purging them from its platforms.
Fourteen Mueller Spinoff Cases Are Now In Bill Barr’s Hands
Wheres the old guy from Ferris
Mueller? …Mueller? …Mueller? …I hope to fuck someone else has seen them so they don’t just “disappear”
After that performance you know Trump now controls the DOJ
14 instances for Barr to create his own firestorm. 14 instances for a misstep to become that firestorm. 14 instances for leaks and revelations. 14 instances that make exposure far more likely.
I like your optimism
These all will most likely be suppressed, de-funded or otherwise made to disappear. I have no confidence in this guy and impeachment of him is the only way out for violating his oath of office and dereliction of duty.
This chucklehead is so fucked
I tend to agree with the optimism. At this point we don’t know how far along these are, nor if they have been handed off elsewhere. Also, since we got Mueller’s lettter to Barr in time for the hearing yesterday, plus LowBarr’s testimony blaming Mueller, and now Flood’s letter doing the same, not to mention that a certain someone has been referring to the FBI as scum, i am not so sure that there won’t suddenly be a flood of other stuff.
Or, perhaps, someone will get the unredacted version out into the public to prevent LowBarr from interfering in these things.
There’s a lot of things that could happen in the coming days or weeks.
I believe this is not going to be swept under the carpet.
China, if you are listening, can you get us the unredacted Mueller report? The media and real Americans will reward you…
Worrying, though. Can he just cancel the investigations with 14 memos? I don’t know how much bureaucratic protection is in place. Especially against a chief who is happy to break the law.
Gratitude to Harris (my Senator!!) for forcing the questions!
Two are public already. I don’t see how he can just arbitrarily do this and expect no backlash (e.g. impeachment). I am pretty sure that he’s being closely watched and if he tries something like that, some patriotic American is going to fall on his sword to preserve the truth. Perhaps even Mueller himself.
Harris was fabulous…
“I just don’t recall offering any substantive information about a case,” Barr said, saying that it was possible that one of the investigations came up in conversation during his now 10-week tenure.
How about administrative or procedural information?
And did you receive or give any orders, directives, suggestions, hints, nods, winks, or any communication at all in any form regarding those cases?
He takes notes. Those might be interesting…
“I don’t think Barr is gonna start micromanaging investigations that are in the D.C. U.S. Attorney’s Office or the Southern District of New York,”
Duh. Red herring much? He doesn’t have to micromanage jack shit. He’s just going to scuttle them completely if they’re a threat to Trump and/or the GOP…and I wouldn’t be surprised if he flings around the ole Law & Order trope about “fruit of the forbidden tree” and assists the WH in characterizing them as nothing but fishing expeditions.
“I don’t think Barr is gonna start micromanaging investigations that are in the D.C. U.S. Attorney’s Office or the Southern District of New York,” he said. “With more than 90 federal districts, historically there would be no way that a centralized DOJ can oversee everything that’s being done.”
But, as a wise man once said, you can bet your sweet bippy he is damn sure going to try.
“I don’t think Barr is gonna start micromanaging investigations that are in the D.C. U.S. Attorney’s Office or the Southern District of New York,” he said.
Yes, he's an institutionalist with a legacy to protect.At least it was obvious when Whitaker was lying. He gulped down water like desert sand and sweated it back in copious amounts.
Barr is a specter, more than an empty suit he’s a shell of a human being. He lies without remorse and shows nothing on the surface.
With more than 90 federal districts, historically there would be no way that a centralized DOJ can oversee everything that’s being done.
You can do it in a finite number of cases, corruption cases or cases involving federal officials,” he added.
They don’t need to oversee everything that’s being done. How about just 14 cases?
Yeah, once he had to go back to correct himself by adding the word “substantive” — methinks he was planning ahead to avoid perjury charges.
And the fact that he made the extra effort to add that adjective is a pretty clear indication that without it, he’d be vulnerable for perjury, meaning there was a transfer of information.
What a lying dickhead.
