Post-ItGate! Bill Barr is corrupt as hell. His ‘unitary executive’ theory is bull shit.

Funny how the Barr team’s “inadvertent mistakes” again seem to support the Trump/Flynn version of ‘reality’ rather than the facts of the physically existing world most of the rest of us live in.

Is this the place where I say, “I’m shocked to find out how shoddy the work product presented has become under Barr”?

Only if it’s your first time being shocked.

Otherwise, just say you’re getting really fucking tired of it.

Sigh. How long before Flynn’s lawyers says the case has to be thrown out because the “prosecution” altered evidence (to favor Flynn)

“Inadvertent mistakes” - Isn’t that what got some FBI agent criminally charged?

I’d prefer to think of this as . . . .oh, I don’t know . . . . CRIMINAL perhaps.

What does any of this have to do with Michael Flynn lying under oath to the FBI and Congress about his work for foreign Governments to influence American policy?

That is to iterate what has been posted previously, there is a single issue in the Michael Flynn case:

Did Michael Flynn commit a crime when he lied under oath to the FBI and Congress or, as Trump and Barr now claim, was the real crime the FBI catching Michael Flynn lying under oath to the FBI and Congress.

That Flynn did lie under oath to the FBI and Congress is beyond dispute because Michael Flynn has admitted to the Judge and the Court that he lied under oath to the FBI and Congress.

But he had his fingers cross when he lied to the FBI and then Congress, doesn’t that mean it doesn’t count as lying?

Actually its ovoiding the sun. It misses circle by 119,000 kilometers between January and July apogee and perogee.

Yes.

Only if you add a lot of laughing emojis afterward, because some people are sarcasm-challenged.

Thank you for holding me to greater scientific accuracy.

Shit happens when you are having fun. I swear they could not get a timeline right to save their asses. This one. The trip to the Donor $Dinner. The oxygen timeframe. Now they can’t be bothered to let people know when Trump last tested negative. Time is not on their side.
