Discussion: Transportation Dept Official Is Barr's Top Pick For Rosenstein Replacement

[lastroth]

I get the same impression. Barr and Rosen wouldn’t be my choices, but it’s still a Republican administration, after all. These two strike me as being more in the “solid and sober” category than Trump’s usual picks, which tend towards the “unhinged.”

So half a hinge is better no hinge?

[lastroth]

Rosen is literally Rosenstein without the stones.

Or the steins.

Those steins better not have beer in them or the Kav will be all over them.

[midnight_rambler]

Maybe. But don’t forget that Barr played a key role in keeping Iran-Contra away from GHWB. So it may also be a matter of keeping their options open, depending on whether they want to cut Trump loose or not.

[someguy]

Rosen and Rosenstein are both the same politically…they are both very conservative right wing Jewish-American Republicans. They both support Israel’s Netanyahu and they are very active with AIPAC. So this is not much of a change other than Rosen is not quite as strong as Rosenstein.

William Barr is no fool…he knows who moves the government and he is not going to tip that boat.

Ah, of course, the Jews who control the government.

It’s a shame about Lyndon LaRouche passing on, isn’t it?

[someguy]

He likes beer.

I cannot understand people who casually post doomsday scenarios as though the world they will live in as a result will be anything but dystopian.

The stunning disregard and myopia as to what real dictatorship MEANS is breathtaking, making me come to the conclusion of there being some kind of “fun” .

The fun that comes with never having had to grow up and live in a dictatorship without hope to either leave it or overthrow it.

[mondfledermaus]

but I sense that the GOP powers that be are putting a conventional Republican team in place at DOJ to validate the SCO’s damning conclusions and manage the transition from Trump to Pence

That is my feeling as well, Trump has been bitching for years about the “deep state” and “angry democrats” in the DOJ, but it’s the “establishment republicans” that he is putting in office the ones that will do him in.

He was 96, further proof that only the good die young.

[old_curmudgeon]

Yeah, I know, that is a problem. Cohen, Goldberg, Stern, what’s a body to do?

[srfromgr]

Wow. Is that for real? No, just no. That cannot be allowed. There is so much crap that will get buried once Barr is approved. I hope this gets a lot more attention. Its the first I heard that he had a daughter and son-in-law that worked at DoJ in the first place. This lateral move is hardly a way to avoid any conflicts of interest within the current administration or Barr’s interference should he chose to do so with the Mueller investigation. I wonder if that came up during his hearing and if anyone asked him about that.

[mickeyg]

Yes. That url at the bottom of the tweet is from CNN. I tried Googling “Barr’s Daughter FinCen” and there’s just the announcement of the moves. What’s hilarious is that these moves involving his daughter & son-in-law are to “avoid conflict of interest” LOL

He was right about one thing. He often went on about how many top U.S. government officials were in the pockets of the Russkies. He was about 50 years ahead of his time!

[someguy]

Not to mention the Queen of England.

And the Tri-Lateral Commission.

[misterneutron]

Not to mention the Queen of England.

The jury’s still out on that one.

[someguy]

I saw it all on The Crown on Netflix. She’s a drug runner, she is.

[darrtown]

I suspect Mr Barr will have a “holy shit!!” moment when he is made aware of all of Mueller’s evidence.

[ignoreland]

“Hey Rod, here’s your hat what’s your hurry?!!”

[gharlane]

Boofer Bart doesn’t do steins. Not user-friendly enough.

He’s an angry drunk, though.
