    Lindsey just dropped the F bomb on purpose.... This ought to be an interesting day, since we are starting it with a ****ing idiot...

    EDIT My TV is now on Mute until somebody else starts talking... I'm now actually looking forward to Barr speaking, and I never thought I'd say that...

    WHEW... finally... Geez, even Dianne Feinstein is a huge step up at this point, and I never thought I'd say that either...

    It's sort of sad Barr turned out to be a Trump tool, since he's actually a well spoken man... I like listening to him... Certainly better than Sessions, or heaven help us, Matt Whitaker....

    According to the Mueller investigation, Putin's goal was to spread disinformation, and division...the left has signed right up to be his puppet.

    When the democrats work to destroy America and fundamentally transform it, they are doing putins bidding.

    "we don't do criminal investigations just to gather information and release it to the public" - DOJ.

    It's very clear to me now what the disconnect is... Mueller is fine that Barr didn't indict anybody for OOJ legally, since that wasn't Mueller's intent..

    Mueller's clear intent was that Congress handle this, like they did with Nixon.

    Ooops... The AG said there is no requirement for an 'underlying crime' to commit OOJ... shoots that theory down...

    Lawyers recommended to Congress that Nixon committed crimes. That's not the case here.

    I believe it will be exactly the case here.... using the Mueller report as the basis for those recommendations...

    Yeah, I figured that's the way Barr would go... attempt to treat "firing" Mueller different than "removing" Mueller.... What a load of crap...

    Finally some great insight into the alleged Presidential order to fire Mueller. Sounds like it was all due to a lie in the NY Times.

    There's no "requirement" per supreme court ruling, but I'd love to debate that in front of a court and a lawyer. To me, an investigation is no longer valid if the predicate reasoning is no longer valid.

    Otherwise, we could unwittingly 'obstruct' any unknown investigation into an unknown item.

    Clearly, the investigation into his OOJ wasn't unknown to Trump.... unless nobody told him it was the lead story in the NY Times 3 days prior, which I guess is plausible with this guy....

    But there was no recommnedation of crimes....the DOJ doesn't conduct criminal investigations, just to lay out information for the public...they look for crimes.

    Sure. Because it's not recited in painful detail in the Mueller Report, which you haven't read.

    I think we all knew the lead story, and now Barr has revealed the entirety of that story to be a lie. What this means, fundamentally is that someone within Counsel is leaking information. We got that confirmation via Buzzfeed. So not only is Mueller a coward, but he either willingly allowed or unwittingly allowed for this information to be leaked.

    We're at the same place we were with the Flynn tapes. It might even be possible that it's the same leaker.

    It is, and now we have some more insight into it. Clearly, no obstruction.

    *LOL*

    Mueller specifically noted that a sitting president cannot be indicated, laid out a series of obstructive efforts by Bonespurs J. Criminal, and then specifically noted that it's Congress' job to hold a corrupt president to account.

    Legit question for you, since the others currently posting on here would have no clue..

    I cannot find the actual article, but per this footnote

    upload_2019-5-1_11-8-1.png

    Which possible OOJ was Mueller investigating Trump for at that time?? Flynn or Firing of Comey?
