Discussion: Neal Katyal: Barr’s Problematic Summary Makes It Critical That Report Is Made Public

Meh…we won’t see the report until we have a Dem POTUS and Trump’s about to watch his approval rating skyrocket for 2020 because of this.

Which is fucking laughable given that he basically sent the Trump legal team a “nominate me and I’ll protect you letter” before he was ever even nominated.

This is a fucking joke and has done serious, irreparable damage to our justice system and government in general.

It would appear we’ve reached a point where our institutions are inclined to give Republican presidents a pass…

And watch the press jump on the bandwagon. “President trump was totally exonerated of all charges. Next he plans to have Bill Barr indict Obama for spying on him and Hillary for being Hillary. Should be really exciting!”

“Now we go live to a trump 2020 campaign rally.”

But not Trump.

Will he get his just desserts? Probably not (unless he gets tertiary syphilis). What’s more important is recovering from all the damage that he and his co-conspirators have done to the nation’s political system, world politics, the environment, the economy…

It doesn’t make any sense. I have never heard of obstruction requiring an underlying charged offense.

And like a magician, Barr conjured it away. It had to relate to a specific crime to be obstruction, and presto change-o he made the crime it related to disappear, poof and poof!

Yeah can you tell me what Stone, Cohen and Manafort are going to jail for if there isn’t a conspiracy?

Felony lying for no reason—aren’t they a bunch of silly-billies?

And I guess Trump ate that Cohen document for no reason too, after meeting with Michael Cohen! And the phony story they cooked up in Air Force One, that was just for grins too. What funny people they are, to do such funny things.
