Mueller Vs. Barr = Extraordinary
So the president was ‘obstructioney’ because he he had a “sincere belief” that his enemies were out to get him.
Yeah, kinda like Nixon.
You can’t commit obstruction if you are nuts?
And he says Mueller wrote the report for him. That’s some caca del toro. The report was written for the American people.
This is going to be a fun day.
Thirty minutes once Barr started talking, Trump posted this.
I don’t think so.
Is anyone surprised? Barr will go down in history as the worst AG in US history and after Gonzalez, who fired US attorneys all over the country who weren’t politically aligned, that’s really saying something. Barr has lowered the AG position of top law enforcement officer to that of crass partisan hack.
1Barr is just another obstructionist fluffer adding more noise to the moron chorus singing to the ***king moron. “… and the morons bowed and prayed, to the orange god they made …”
Who knew? redaction and exoneration eloped.
2Rosenstein looked like he was trying to blink a morse code hostage message.
3Once was told thatinorder for a conspiracy to be a conspiracy, you needed only 3 people. Any more and the whole thing would go up in flames. Also needed: people, even if only one, with genuine focus, organization and discipline. I do wonder now in this digital age about the number of people involved but tell me, can you see any of those three talents in Trump or even his hirelings?
4I took notice, too, that Barr repeated several times that the campaign didn’t collude with the Russian GOVERNMENT. It’s what he didn’t say that is so loud; and that is that the campaign collude with RUSSIANS.
5CNN posted the written transcript. ok then. Swine located. Several empty lipstick tubes sent out for analysis. Pearls of collusion suspended. And no, George HW Bush has not risen from the grave. He sent his proxy, Bill Barr.
6Ryan Goodman and Bess Levin have articles that summarize Barr’s past role in the cover up of Bush 41 era rulings concerning the FBI’s ability to arrest foreign leaders on foreign soil(!). Barr penned and released a summary of the policies that, years later, were proven to have omissions of many of the most crucial aspects of the policy. He no doubt has done it again with his non-summary summary releases and who knows what else in today’s release…

7maagie@4, if we omit the “genuine” in front of “focus, organization, and discipline,” then maybe Brad Pascale? Covering the digital age component Brad was Junior Mint’s playmate and Donnie’s digital communications director.
8Jane and PKM, this is actually the bunch that couldn’t shoot straight even with a telescope on a tripod. Just look at all the empty slots in the Executive departments. This is not only due to political/facial/gender bias, its also greatly due to their inability to do any damn thing right. I am including using shoelaces. I bet the majority of them wear boot style footwear or even penny loafers. Frankly, this odiroifous bunch couldn’t pull off a one horse funeral the right way.
9Damn spell check! Not “facial”. Its “racial”.
10Winter is coming.
11@maggie #10:
Actually, haven’t there been numerous instances where IQ45 rejected people due to their looks? And he fired his Secret Service head due to his ears…
12Jane & PKM, bingo!, hole-in-one!
Brad Parscale is the key player here, the nexus of all the digital machinations, which were and are the “locus of the pocus” (as I’ve pointed out before).
The local San Antonio TV station KSAT/Chan12/ABC, a few days ago featured a fawning interview with Parscale by one of their news anchors, when SOBOTUS made a private luncheon-fundraising visit here and in Houston.
(look it up here: http://www.ksat.com )
The interview didn’t get into anything but adulatory bullshit, but you could see Parscale’s smarmy smugness oozing through.
13With a checkered work history, he started out as a low-bidder IT provider to the Trump campaign, working out of some low-rent offices in SA, and hit it big when he hooked up with Cambridge-Analytica (UK) and all the rest of the Russian conspiracy apparatus, data-mining Faceborg and other ‘big data’ aggregators.
Parscale is now head of RAT45’s 2020 Prez Campaign, so you know he’s totally ‘sucked up’ to the bossman.
A person on Twitter doubts that the Orange fecal cannot possibly have the IQ to follow game of thrones. From the released Mueller report it seems fecal had the sense to nominate a partisan back for AG……
14Unfortunately, there is someone else who is focused, organized, and disciplined. Racist, psycho POS Stephen Miller. He’s driving all the anti-immigrant stuff, and is probably the only WH staffer who isn’t motivated by greed and/or rank self-interest. We’d be better off with another kleptocrat.
And yeah, Facial Bias makes perfect sense. One of the most disturbing things for me that Trump keeps doing is referring to various officials as “straight out of Central Casting”. He truly believes that the most important qualification is that someone looks the part. And he keeps referring to poll results as “ratings”. I think he’s so deranged that this really is one big GD’d reality show for him. I just wish we could cancel him; the plot lines suck.
