Itâs totally up to the stooge I put in place over there to cover this all up. Totally up to him.
> âItâs totally up to the attorney general,â Trump told CBS âFace the Nationâ host Margaret Brennan in an interview aired Sunday.
Exactly. Just like it was totally up to Jeff Sessions to choose to recuse himself. Too bad Iâm too young to remember how that turned out.
Also, regardless of Barr, Mueller has speaking indictments and a Democratic House conducting real investigations to get the story out.
In a nutshell, if the evidence supports conspiracy or that Trump is a Russian asset, thereâs no way that gets locked up in the back of some file cabinet on the basement floor.
Barr said that "Under existing Justice Department regulations, the Special Counselâs report is to be âhandled as a confidential document, as are internal documents relating to any federal criminal investigationââŚâ
ââŚunless they involve Sec. Clintonâs emails.â
MARGARET BRENNAN: But when it comes to the investigation that the special counselâs conducting- I mean 34 people have been charged here. Seven guilty pleas â
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: Excuse me. Ok, you ready? Ok, you ready? Of the 34 people, many of them were bloggers from Moscow or they were people that had nothing to do with me, had nothing to do with what theyâre talking about or there were people that got caught telling a fib or telling a lie. I think itâs a terrible thing thatâs happened to this country because this investigation is a witch hunt. Itâs a terrible witch hunt and itâs a disgraceâ
They were all covfefe boys, except for the Russian bloggers, and they drank vodka.
So fucking rude, on top of everything else. âExcuse meâ. Condescending Dunning-Krueger, love it.
âŚWhich is exactly why the President should be Demanding that the full, unredacted report be released to the public, so that we can all see that itâs a nothingberder and a witch huntâŚ
The fix is in
Could it BE more obvious? Is this what the Republicans mean by â transparencyâ?
Trump is going to be disappointed that Barr is not who he think he is. Barr belongs to the deep establishment GOP, and those are the interest he is going to take care, not Trumpâs. Those interests overlap in many places, but you the tax cuts have already been made and the SCOTUS has already being given a wingnut bias for 30 years (for the RBG successor, they can have Pence nominate him).
So if the Mueller report is not released is going to be more to protect pence the NRA and other GOP groups or personalities, more that to protect Trump. They might leak some of the bad stuff about Trump just to make sure he get weakened a bit for the primaries.
Trump lies more often than he tells the truth. That is the sign of a true sociopath.
Count me as one of the conspiracy theorists that Barr dangled his paper last summer (which by his own account was the first time that heâd weighed in on a case in that manner, unsolicited) to attract the interest of Trump, because he wanted to be on the inside. And thereâs really no reason for his coming out of retirement and putting himself on the line other than to protect the Party.
The only televised program Trump should be on is one in which there is no live presentation of him saying anything.
Rather, it would be as a subject of a History Channel Biographical Documentary detailing the complete story of his Treason, in all of its aspects and connections, from beginning to end.
The Muller report will be released if, when and how Muller wants it released.
If tRump could have done something to stop this, he would have. Whitaker hasnât done anything because, as soon as he came into the DOJ, Rosenstein sat him down, had him sign a stack of non-disclosure agreements and then briefed him on the investigation, and the legal jeopardy he would be in if he tried to stop it. Whitaker has been a circumspect little man ever since. His small town main street law practice may not have taught him much, but it taught him enough that he knows he doesnât want to be in front of a steam roller. Much better to listen to an orangutan rage, than to spend years in prison.
Barr isnât as much of a lightweight as Whitaker, so once heâs briefed heâll also understand that he canât stop what is going to be a historic set of releases. Mueller dropped several terabytes of data on Roger Stone as evidence of his criminality. That data is going to link to criminality all over; and if it doesnât directly, it will allow Muller to seize other data that will. The eventual indictments are going to hit tRumpâs family (Melania too, hopefully), Deutschebank and a bunch of oligarchs. The NRA and some senators and congressmen may get caught up in it too.
If Rosenstein is going to retire when Barr comes in, then itâs because he knows that Barr canât stop the freight train barreling down on tRump.
Fuck you, Donald.
Donald probably doesnât even know what that means.
News flash, numbnuts:
Witches were innocent, and everybody knows it now.
You are guilty, and everybody knows that too.
Thatâs quintessential Queens asshole. Heâs had that verbal tic for decades and yes, itâs infallibly condescending. Especially uses it with women.
Yep. Would be very glad to have heard the deep-concealed conversations between Barr and TreasonWeasel McConnell.
Portrait of a two-bit juice-head shyster who realizes heâs in actual danger:
Iâm thinking yes. Hence McConnell, Graham, Meadows, Scalise, Ryan, McCarthy, Gowdy obstruction of justice.
That was basically my immediate reaction as well. It is totally up to the Attorney General to do exactly as I tell him or to be replaced by someone who will. Totally his choice.
Donald Trump is a cowardâs coward. Sometimes you shouldnât over-think it.
Yeah, he put Iowa Butterhead in an acting position, yeah he went and found a GHWB dude with an expansive view of Article II for the permanent head of the department. But these are actions taken not out of courage or fascism or whatever, but out of abject fear. Trumpâs Mueller-balls are retracted up into his rib cage, and weâve known that for a long time, and nothing seems to be changing it.
So does McConnell, Graham, and Rand Paul - whatâs their excuse?
100% likelihood that the Russiansâand, hence, Trumpâhave #kompromat on them. We already know that they took millions of rubles from oligarchs.
Wordy word word!!!
