When You Just Can’t Stop Cooperating | Talking Points Memo

Remember Sam Patten?

He’s the American political consultant who pleaded guilty in August 2018 to violating the Foreign Agents Registration Act, and who admitted in his plea to illegally helping a Ukrainian politician client of Paul Manafort’s secure tickets to Trump’s inauguration.

So I’ll place the first wager on: He was questioned for 2.5 hours on how many times Obama or Biden personally ordered him to commit crimes. This all part of the whitewash. Bill Barr has destroyed the credibility of the office by politicizing this investigation. There is no going back.

… Patten remains an active, cooperating witness available to the government.

I hope that he steers clear of the middle of Fifth Avenue.

The DoJ is fully corrupted. Don’t trust and and attempt to verify alternatives to their bullshit.

There is no DoJ, there is only Trump.

I call it the DOJJ – Department of Junk Justice.

It appears the DOJ has bought his silence, or at least rented it. If anything untoward regarding Herr Trump turns up that can’t be tamped back down, Obergruppenführer Barr will find that, “any new information will be held in abeyance so that we don’t unfairly create an illusion of bias with an election just months away.”

I suggest people check out Glenn Greenwald’s article and video over at The Intercept: “New documents from the sham prosecution of Gen. Michael Flynn also reveal broad corruption in the RussaGate investigations.” Greenwald is no friend politically of Flynn or Trump or the Republicans. Far from it.

If Mr. Patten is, to borrow an old expression, the man who knew too much, then the more he talks with this DoJ the more I fear for his safety.

That’s Cowindow 19th floor.

all we know is that Patten remains an active, cooperating witness available to the government.

With the DOJ’s Stockholm Syndrome under Barr, Patton is known as a ‘family friend’ or ‘lackey’.

I think it would be extremely naive at this point to imagine any continuing investigation into the 2016 election would not be corrupted by Barr’s orders to Durham to find anything, anything pointing to some even minor infraction by the Obama administration that could be blown up into scandalous proportions. The evil bastards only concern and focus is to guarantee the reelection of the dotard as a way to further the Opus Dei agenda. An evil bastard using Christ to advance an evil agenda.

Prosecutors are still reportedly investigating widespread foreign contributions to Trump’s inaugural committee

We’ll see nothing come of this until Toadglans is removed (circumcised?) from his current residency, disBarr is mercifully jettisoned and the DOJ is deloused. And that’s fine by me — suddenly all of this illegitimate “immunity” will become null and void leaving all of these curs to twist in the wind (preferably from a length of rope … upside down from the nearest ESSO station).

No. Vast swathes of it remain intact. We’re going to need to disinfect the whole thing, top to bottom, but most of the career people are still doing their jobs the right way.

Greenwald is a hacky shill for Vladimir Putin.

Someone should wrap you in cellophane and label you “Sucker.”

Greenwald is an idiot and a liar.
