In the letter:
“What other information from the report can be released to Congress”
Huh?
So, collusion?
Prepare to be disappointed.
Junior isn’t getting indicted. The daughter isn’t getting indicted. The son in law isn’t getting indicted. All this hype about “Mueller time!” is going to be a big bust.
And because Democrats lack marketing skillz, the incompetent imbecile shitting in the Oval Office will be off and running about being exonerated with impunity. There will be no counter message but what will appear to be feckless goal-shifting and vague promises about the SDNY doing the job.
And if this ages horribly, I welcome it.
One way or another, we’ll know what’s in the report within a week. I guarantee it. Too many people in both the FBI and the DOJ (including Rod Rosenstein) want this report to be made public. No one can stop this now.
I deduce if there was bad news for Trump et al. Barr wouldn’t be so forthcoming so quickly.
It’s gonna be like OJ - not guilty.
Barr: Special Counsel “has concluded his investigation” into Trump-Russia links and coordination in 2016.
Barr: will disclose “principal conclusions” of SC to Congress. No details, in other words. That is TBD in consultation with Rosenstein and Mueller.
The question then becomes what does “investigation” mean? Does it refer to grand jury activity? Does it refer to indictment decisions? Decisions about when to arrest? Is this report Mueller’s final deed? Has the delivery of the report been preceded by the offloading to other prosecutorial authorities of ongoing matters? Or are we done and dusted until the president is out of office?
Also: what about the counterintelligence (as opposed to criminal prosecution) mandate of the DOJ and derivatively, the OSC? Is that simply not a thing?
And Manafort goes free because “he’s a good man who has suffered enough by this witch hunt”.
Indictments are under seal
and @thebigragu
Do y’all go around spitting on people’s birthday cakes?
No one knows this for a fact. It’s an assumption that in some areas is bordering on that fantasy of the Marshall of the Supreme Court about to arrest Imbecile-1.
Doesn’t mean it can’t be true. But everyone is taking it as a matter of faith, usually said as a defense mechanism. Like I wrote, I hope what I posted ages horribly.
Do y’all go around spitting on people’s birthday cakes?
Depends, you got one coming up?
Actually, no I don’t.
I want everything dumped on the internet just like the Republicans did with the Bill and Monica phone calls. Want to see all those written answers that Trump made to Mueller’s questions. So there are sealed indictments that we will not see until Trump is either impeached or voted out of office?
Peeing in the ginger ale and on Halloween they put dogshit on the front door mat, set it on fire, ring the doorbell and run away…
What closely, Kids- Barr, like a stage magician, will make every accusation against Trump disappear in a puff of smoke.
OJ finally went to jail after being convicted of other crimes. And so will Donald. Both of them will live to see losing all their wealth.
Evidence is still being collected in various states regarding tax and insurance fraud, moneylaundering and sexual harassment suits. New leads regarding decades of collusion with Mafia elements has been unearthed. Donald sure opened a can of worms when he shot off his mouth during the campaign about his great business “successes and associates” in Russian places. Donald will be fighting in criminal court the rest of his days, probably from a prison cell just like Manafort after he leaves office.
And he’s going to be dogged by the specter of John McCain, Obama and Muller till it drives him either mad or to a stroke. Social media, polite society and the press will hound him till he ends up being a puddle on the ground with his CombOver floating on top. G Men always get their man. Spooks get even. Voters get revenge.
He might be wise to just turn over everything to the public or else the 2020 election might turn out to be a landslide for a Democrat as a backlash.
Anyone imagining that William Barr is going to actually be impartial and by the book here should just watch this from the recent ritual dictator-praising humiliation ceremony, video queued up at Barr’s performance:
