I wish Schiff would join the stampede to 2020.

“He did not come into this with clean hands.”
That will leave a mark.

I prefer he continues to do the work he’s doing.

Psalm 24:4 in the Bible!

He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who does not lift up his soul to what is false and does not swear deceitfully.

or the King James version, even worse for Barr

He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.

Or in the Irasdad version.

Unclean hands? Check.
Impure heart? Check
Lifted soul up unto vanity? Check.
Sworn deceitfully? Check.

It would be difficult to do both at the same time. I love what he’s doing.

Can we clone him? One to run for president, one to hunt down traitors.

Perfect (as are most of his one or two line comments … and longer explanations). This is why they fear and hate Schiff. Well, this and his vast knowledge and understanding of what’s been going on.

The smile on Schiff’s face tells it all. The GOP tried to campaign for his removal as Chairman. He beat them back and won. Now, he’s being vindicated by reporting from the very same newspapers that initially gave Trump/GOP the opening to spin the results of the investigation.

I think Senator Schiff after Harris wins the presidency is a better path for him.

And, he’s absolutely right on this, Barr was brought in to clean the mess up. It’s almost surprising that the story has turned now, I expected it to remain until the full Mueller report was extracted. It was always obvious that Barr glossed things over, but the reaction we’re getting from Mueller investigators sounds like they are royally pissed off about Barr lying and covering up over the obstruction they found. It makes it a lot more likely the full report will leak if it gets blocked, and will come out before the 2020 election. If Republicans fight to block it, and it comes out in, say, October 2020, they are toast…far better for them to let it out now and then try to contain the damage by dumping Trump as damaged goods. Good thing they won’t, that will just make them lose even more badly, I hope.

Yeah really he was specifically brought in to cover this up and Sessions was pushed out for not doing that.

Barr has dishonored THEM.

He’s going to be the Speaker come the next House. CA (appointed) Senator might come after that and then a winner in the next CA senate race.

@drriddle I agree but with this modification.

I cant imagine anything that will render the Party of Treason or Cmdr Oranges “toast” at this point. The report will drip out, sure, but the ability of this festering mass of germs to remain viable is remarkable. We need a swift shocking event to snap the drones out of their stupor.

Today is Thursday

We have not gotten to Friday

At the rate things are running, Friday evening out to be a real pip (orange pip actually).

The ironic thing in all this mess is that Sessions was actually the honorable one, despite his shadiness…he recused himself when it was appropriate to do so, he stood up to Trump to protect the investigation, and he got pushed out because he obviously was not going to interfere in the outcome of the report. If he had stayed, Rosenstein would have overseen the output, and we probably would have gotten the executive summaries from Mueller’s team as the initial report.

I guess it just goes to show that everyone has their good points, hard as it can be to believe sometimes.

I’d settle for that!

I doubt Sessions did it because he was good, he was probably more scared of getting caught and assumed or knew Donald is guilty.

From his latest statement, it looks like he’s vying to be Editor of No Shit Monthly instead.

(Now if only he could staple that statement on the heads of all the media outlets breathlessly parsing every phrase of the summary of what Trump’s lackey thinks about the investigation of Trump…)
