LONG ago, in my early days in television, while in college, I was a cameraman in Houston. We broadcast the wrestling matches. On my first night behind camera, I was the ‘wide shot’. Mostly just covering the ring - typical for a rookie cameraman. But at one point, the director said to me (in my headset)
“I’m gonna need you to give me a closeup on the Ref’s hands in a minute, Camera 2”
I zoomed in on the Ref, and he pulled ‘something’ out of his pocket and punched a wrestler with it.
“Wow, how did you know that was going to happen?” I asked the Director.
He laughed. “I have the script they gave me in front of me …”
That about sums up the entire ‘reality show’ TV administration. It’s as ‘real as wrestling’.
Barr clearly is campaigning for a Trump pardon. That also explains Pompeo’s behavior. They need to keep lying and engaging in unethical behavior to do so.
At this point, if Barr or Pompeo actually do anything to interfere with the election, the incoming AG must charge them with at least election fraud. If it can be shown that they did so with the intention of undermining the legitimate government of the United States, sedition. If it can be shown that either of them is involved in an organized criminal conspiracy including at least one person taking money from a foreign actor (and thus, all of them benefiting from that foreign influence), espionage.
It can be obtained in various lengths, and “shorty” is one of them. Yes, it’s effectively an indestructible baseball bat. For hitting grand slams, of course.
Um, nothing. The Biden camp has already started dropping hints that investigations into past administrations would be bad for democracy. And the more rules the GOP breaks the more rules the Democrats think they need to bend over backwards to follow.
The fact that we’ve actually made it through years of donnie, barr, McTurtle and pompous without losing our minds, hair or various electronic devices (that innocently delivered the news) is a true testament to our strength and determination.
You’re someone who has dreamed of a Foreign Office/ State Dept. career since college. You worked your way through the system and sat through a thousand trainings and meetings - then some bloated fool comes through and says ’ You all work for me now. Bow DOWN.’ and you realize he can’t name 6 world capitals and their leaders.
