Federal prosecutors in Manhattan are pursuing at least two known criminal inquiries, one focused into possible corruption in Trump’s inaugural committee and another on the hush-money scandal that led his former lawyer, Michael Cohen, to plead guilty last year to campaign-finance violations.
So Barr just orders remaining Fed investigations shut down. No biggie.I guess we learned that Trump was not an amoral con man, yesterday. Thanks AG Barr!
Barr’s boss and benefactor, Trump, offered this judgement of Mueller (who reports to Barr).
“The Mueller Probe was an illegal takedown that failed”
Guaranteed to make what is reputed to be a great “friendship” between Barr and Mueller morph into a “fantastic friendship”.
He just can’t resist can he .
What an embarrassment yesterday when he was ad libbing at the Airport
He couldn’t muster a cohesive sentence, going on and on repeating himself several times.
He could have just said , “I’m pleased with the outcome” and left it at that
But He, can’t
Ever
any Time
I have reached my breaking point. As much as I hope the Democrats will pursue their investigations into trumps crimes, I no longer feel justice will ever be served. Like many people, these last 2 years have wrecked havoc on my health. For my personal well-being I need to stop dwelling on this horrible situation. Oh, God, I know I’m being selfish. But I want to enjoy the time I have left in my life. I’m done.
I don’t blame you.
But the good news is that Trump is going down anyway. Barr GROSSLY mischaracterized the Mueller Report.
He is a lawyer. He cherry picked every word in his summary to help Trump.
THAT WILL COME OUT, And sooner than you think
I really, really hope you are right.
I doubt if Emiliano is right. 
I sincerely believe that Trump and Barr will do everything in their power to insure that the complete Mueller report will never see the light of day. I’m guessing Barr will delay the report for months if not forever. If the report is ever released, it will be so heavily redacted it will be impossible to make sense of it. I’m sure Trump is determined to make Barr’s summary of the report the only thing that remains for historians to peruse.
I’m sorry for being so pessimistic. I’m soon to turn 73 years old, and I genuinely believe the democracy I’ve lived my entire life in is about to fall. My only hope is I die before that happens.
I know how you feel. I thought my heart was going to fall out of my chest yesterday, and I still feel at a loss because it seems as if the orange buffoon is going to get away with very obvious crimes. It wasn’t enough that he conspired with a hostile foreign power to blatantly steal an election, but now he thinks he’s completely exonerated and he’ll be more smug and intolerable than ever. While I would love nothing more in this world than to see that smirk wiped from the evil bastard’s face (along with the one the just as insufferable Mitch McConnell likes to sport), I’m beginning to believe that it will never happen. People like Trump always seem to win while the rest of us barely get a break. Unbelievable…
“The United States has never been invaded or occupied by a foreign power”**
It shows in how people feel.
-
Part of the country is so racist that it welcomes Russians as brothers
-
Part of the country is so shell-shocked that a bullshit “summary”: makes the World End
-
And part of it is more interested that Duke beat UCF last night
Go ahead and give the country away, handwringers. The United States House of Representatives needs support. Responsible journalists need support. Trump ain’t letting up because handwringers want to feel like “they just knew it all along that ______________ would fuck us”
** No, Civil War buffs, I KNOW about that war
Story I just saw said a Barr in-law in now on Trump’s personal attorney team. No conflicts of interest there!
