Federal Judge’s Scathing Review of Barr’s Characterization of the Mueller Report

March 05, 2020 By: El Jefe Category: Corruption, Mueller, Trump

Federal judge Reggie Walton (appointed to the bench by GWB) issued a scathing opinion today about Bill Barr’s summary of the Mueller report, calling into question his “candor” and “credibility”.  He has ordered that the DOJ release the unreacted report so he he can judge for himself if Barr essentially lied to the public to protect Trump and bury the report.  A few meaty tidbits:

“The Court has grave concerns about the objectivity of the process that preceded the public release of the redacted version of the Mueller Report and its impacts on the Department’s subsequent justifications that its redactions of the Mueller Report are authorized by the FOIA.”

“…a review of the redacted version of the Mueller Report by the Court results in the Court’s concurrence with Special Counsel Mueller’s assessment that Attorney General Barr distorted the findings in the Mueller Report.”

And the crowning blow:

“The speed by which Attorney General Barr released to the public the summary of Special Counsel Mueller’s principal conclusions, coupled with the fact that Attorney General Barr failed to provide a thorough representation of the findings set forth in the Mueller Report, causes the Court to question whether Attorney General Barr’s intent was to create a one-sided narrative about the Mueller Report—a narrative that is clearly in some respects substantively at odds with the redacted version of the Mueller Report.”

Like all stories about corrupt officials, the truth of this particular corruption will come out.  This opinion by this Republican appointed judge is just the first step in dismantling the veil of lies constructed by Trump, his minions, and his corrupt attorney general.

It’s just a matter of time.

Fair Warning

March 05, 2020 By: Juanita Jean Herownself Category: Uncategorized

Warning:  Today would not be a good day to send me an email about how Bernie Sanders got screwed by the DNC and Putin.

I am not kidding you. A reader sent that to ME.

Within 30 minutes of Elizabeth Warren suspending her campaign.  Sends me that crapola.  And how now we’re going to end up a corporatist country because freekin’ Bernie Sanders is the only one – the only one, mind you! – who could save us.  And this is the death of America and it’s all my fault, I guess, because I did not vote for Bernie Sanders.

Screw you.  Today, of all days.

Let me tell you something, buddy.  Elizabeth Warren was Bernie wrapped in better packaging, no jutting finger, less snobbery, far less ego, a genuine smile, and CAN GET THINGS DONE.

First off, the DNC can’t plan a one man parade, much less a coup.  They are as ineffectual as … come to think of it, Bernie Sanders.  I’m the one screaming to stop giving them money or the time of day. And Putin has a real funny way of hurting Bernie by putting out bad stuff about Joe.

Good Lord, y’all are beginning to sound like a Trumpite.  He’s also the only one and everybody is plotting against him.

Elizabeth Warren suspended her campaign today because Hillary Clinton spooked too many people about running a female. She remains a far superior candidate than the two who are left.  My heart is broken. But, I’m writing Joe Biden a check today because I am sick, sick, sick of the Bernie whine.  Look, anybody who cannot beat the DNC surely isn’t ready to run a country.

Sorry, guys, I’ll probably take this down in a hour of two but DAMN – what manner of fool sends me a paranoid BernieWhine today?

UPDATE: After I post this, Epp sent me this link by Garry Kasparov.

 

Not So Holy Now, Huh?

I kinda see it as my job to add a smile to your day and keep things from bogging down, down, down, dooby down.

So, here’s something you probably haven’t seen.

 

 

Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Wait just a damn minute. How holy is that water supposed to be? Isn’t it supposed to be strong enough to kill vampires? I mean, that’s gotta be some weak ass holy water, won’t even kill a little virus.

If you can’t trust holy water … what is this world coming to?

 

And Then There Were Two

Elizabeth Warren is dropping out.  It breaks my heart. My Momma wanted so badly to live long enough to see a woman in the White House. Now so do I.

There is no hint of who she will endorse and I don’t think it matters much anyway.  Her supporters are women who generally like to make up their own minds.

This breaks my heart, too. It’s the sad truth about Elizabeth Warren.

I still say she would have been an excellent president and we have missed an opportunity for meaningful economic justice in this country.
