Now Eric "I'll nuke gun owners" Swalwell is demanding Barr's resignation:

... apparently because the Mueller report didn't say what he wanted.



Translation: I'm running for president. Please notice me! I'm cool, like Mayor Pete!

English language much?

He’s not recused from an investigation where he should be recused. He’s embedded deeply into the Trump team. And that affects the credibility that the attorney general must have.

That's right. Barr is so deeply embedded in the "Trump team" that he's the Attorney General!!

Well you know, the fact that there isn't proof in the report that there WASN'T collusion proves there was collusion.

Wouldn't Mueller be screaming his head off if anything was remotely fishy with Barr's presentation?


Oh that's right, Mueller is a Russian agent now.

This ^^^^


So IIRC, Putin spent about $325,000 on FB ads, Figure another $300,000 for the folks creating the fake FB groups.

So for ~$600,000 Putin accomplished his goal of splitting this country in two.

That's a pretty good ROI on a disruption operation.

Now the implication is that the 30,000 e mails sent by Hillary weren't Hillary's e-mails at all.  They were constructs of the Russian hacking and they sent them over her unsecured server.  Hillary didn't delete them, the Russians did to make her look even worse.   That implication was given birth when Barr said that there were "no Americans" involved in any collusion.  Sigh.....

It doesn't matter unless the American people realize their credibility has been misplaced, and start asking for it back.

On a slight tangent. So annoyed by NBC.

The other day, I found out about Notre Dame because I checked my FB. I was at work, sitting right in front of the TV and I learned that one of the most famous buildings in the world was burning down because I checked FB.

Today? They had NBC Special News Report breaking into the regularly programmed shows a good 10 minutes BEFORE the actual release.  :facepalm:

And they wonder why people doubt their reporting...

Heeeeere's Yathmuth

Quote
“Today, Attorney General Barr made clear that he does not serve the American people, as law dictates, but instead the political expediencies of President Trump. The Mueller report makes clear that investigators did not feel they had the authority to bring charges against a sitting president, and contrary to the show put on by the Attorney General today, explicitly did not exonerate President Trump. Rather, the report paints a disturbing picture of our nation’s president, laying out 10 very compelling cases for Congress to pursue. It is the responsibility and indeed the Constitutional obligation of this Congress to analyze this report and upcoming testimony from the Attorney General and Special Counsel, and then take any necessary action to restore integrity to the executive branch.”

Spin, Spin, Spin!

More from within the MSM bubble

Long story short: According to NBC the report flat out says Trump is a criminal.
To me the whole article reads like someone at NBC needs a doughnut ring seat pad to sit on.

President Donald Trump has evaded criminal charges — but special counsel Robert Mueller’s report is a brutal indictment of his campaign and his presidency.

I seem to recall saying that the Mueller report might just dig up some dirt on the D party ...

And if that's the best CNN can spin it ...

Why did Obama go soft on Russia? My opinion is that it was because he was singularly focused on the nuclear deal with Iran. Obama wanted Putin in the deal, and to stand up to him on election interference would have, in Obama's estimation, upset that negotiation. This turned out to be a disastrous policy decision.

My take is because Obama knew the Clinton campaign was colluding with the Russians, and he wanted/expected Clinton to win so he turned a blind eye to the collusion.

AG Barr looks to be the hero here. Great article that describes him as the assassin brought in to end the Mueller investigation.

 https://humanevents.com/2019/05/01/checkmate/
For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse. Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.

Most people heard "No Collusion" and took that to mean "No Collusion".

just above the upper right corner of the big red box that wants you to subscribe is a little grayed out "X".  That gets you out of the subscribe popup and lets you read the article.

Interesting read.  It needed to be done.  I imagine it would be difficult to move forward with the reelection campaign and other issues with that hanging out there.  It was actually hard for me to believe that people actually thought Mueller had evidence that would sink Trump, but they apparently did.

Some of them still think so.

They think Mueller (and apparently also Rosenstein) was somehow compromised. Which is pretty funny, considering all the incentives run in the other direction.

Also, Comey thinks Trump got to Barr, somehow. Nevermind that Barr was defending Trump from obstruction charges before Sessions even resigned...
