Mueller: Letter to Barr says Summary, “Failed to Capture Context, Nature & Substance” of Report

more on the question of Barr's prevarications around the bush: "The Big Lie That Barr Lied"

Could what happened here be more obvious? Mueller received fawning press for two years on the expectation that he would slay Trump. Then, on March 24, Democrats and the media learned not only that there was no collusion case (which was no surprise) but that Mueller had been derelict, failing to render a judgment on the only question he was arguably needed to resolve: Was there enough evidence to charge obstruction? Journalists proceeded to turn on their erstwhile hero. This sent him reeling, and it brought to full boil the anger of Mueller staffers, who wanted to charge Trump with obstruction based on the creative (i.e., wayward) theory they had been pursuing — namely, that a president can be indicted for obstruction based on the exercise of his constitutional prerogatives if prosecutors (including prosecutors who are active supporters of the president’s political opposition) decide he had corrupt intent. The staffers put their pique in a letter that could be leaked, and Mueller was sufficiently irked by the bad press that he signed it. And now Democrats are using the letter as the launch-pad for The Big Lie that Barr lied, calculating that if they say it enough times, and their media collaborators uncritically broadcast these declarations, no one will notice that they never actually refer to the transcript of what they claim is the false testimony.

Democrats are unnerved. Attorney General Barr is pursuing an inquiry into the Obama administration’s decision to conduct a foreign counterintelligence investigation of the Trump campaign. The time is now, they figure, to reprise the Ken Starr treatment: the ad hominem withering of an accomplished, highly capable official — in this instance, one who is daring to press questions that would have been answered two years ago if an incumbent Republican administration had spied on — er, monitored — a Democratic presidential campaign.​

Good to read one of your rants again. A lot of little issues, mostly medical, have diverted my attention from the D&D. My left leg needed to be amputated, so learning to walk again absorbed most of my attention. However, Last week my physical therapists clocked my quarter mile time at 5:05 -- pretty bad for a miler but satisfying for me. That means I can return to walking my precinct in support of the President.
I wish I could get happily involved with the D&D again, but there really is no sustained civil discussion anymore like we had in days of yore. Also, there is a serious lack of witty repartees which made the D&D so fun. You and I are the dinosaurs plodding slowly into the sunset, wishing worthy prey still roamed about.

BTW, Barr is merely following the rules set forth by the then majority Democratic Party just after the Clinton impeachment.

 

"Bill Barr the Boogeyman -- or so Democrats Would Have Us Think":

It's no longer about Russian collusion; it's about making the attorney general out to be the new Boogeyman -- in yet another shameless attempt to try and delegitimize the Trump administration and fuel calls for impeachment. . . .

Democrats are also greatly concerned that Barr indicated during the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on Wednesday he's investigating the Russian Collusion Hoax fueled by a cabal of deceptive Deep State actors within the highest echelons of our government. The left is taking the "best defense is the best offense" strategy before the shoe drops. And with the inspector general's report expected to drop any time now, along with declassified FISA documents the president will release among other relevant materials involving the attempted coup d'etat against his administration, Democrats are running scared.

As they should be. The truth is coming out, and Attorney General Barr won't allow America's justice system to be weaponized for political purposes. That's something all Americans should stand shoulder to shoulder on because if one political party in power can abuse our justice system for political purposes, so can the next.​

I believe we've seen why perjury is a tough sell. I am not saying he's guilty of perjury. I won't rule out impeachment, but I wouldn't say that I'm there yet.

 

Wait until the indictments start getting filed against Obama administration people for their roles in this. I would expect that your enthusiasm for impeaching Barr and probably a number of others might increase rapidly about that same point in time.

 

Still waiting for that Hilary indictment. Is it coming soon?

 

Good question.

 

this captures the essence of Barr the liar

​

 

Bravo! You may have a totally different view of this dog when he goes on the attack.

 

Democrats shouldn’t give a **** if the Republicans want to investigate Obama “spying” on Trump. Obama isn’t running for office and people already know how they feel about both Obama and Trump and that isn’t going to change much.

 

No he lied, he just didn’t perjure himself.

 

Mueller in his report goes into a great amount of detail why he did not make a recommendation concerning obstruction.

 

The condensed Barr hearing, the one minute that matters.

 

Fun fact: Eric Holder was the first and only Attorney General to be held in contempt of congress.

 

A criminal should not be able to dismiss a case against him by claiming the accusation is false. It's not for the Criminal (Trump) to make that decision, it's for the investigators and the jury (in this case Congress and the people).

 

I would suggest you guys watch again and discuss amongst yourselves which part you’re not understanding.
