    Yes, D.C. is the District of Corruption.

    “Politics in modern America has become a lucrative business, an industry that has less to do with policy and a lot more to do with accessing money and favors. … bills and regulations are often introduced not to affect policy change, but as vehicles for shaking down people for … money and favors. Indeed, the motive on both sides often has nothing to do with creating a “correct” policy but instead is often about maximizing profits.” EXTORTION, "How Politicians Extract Your money, Buy Votes, And Line Their Own Pockets, Peter Schweizer, HMO, NY, NY, 2013, p. 4.

    Yeah like spying on every President since FDR.

    Hoover had a **** file on FDR, Truman, Eisenhower, JFK, LBJ and Nixon too.

    Mark Felt came into possession of these FBI **** files.

    There you go again calling people liars when you know you can't back it up.

    In fact, Mueller made gave false testimony at the hearing.
    In fact, Mueller had to correct himself.

    Want to see it again? :)

    "In an exchange Mueller had with Rep. Ted Lieu, Democrat of California, during the first hearing, Lieu had asked Mueller about a different topic — whether he had declined to indict the president because of the Justice Department Office of Legal Counsel opinion that a sitting president cannot be indicted.
    The OLC opinion says that indicting a sitting president "would unconstitutionally undermine the capacity of the executive branch to perform its constitutionally assigned functions." Here's the exchange below:

    "The reason again that you did not indict Donald Trump is because of the OLC opinion stating that you cannot indict a sitting president, correct?" Lieu had asked.
    "That is correct," Mueller replied.

    There was a bit of a stir over Mueller's initial response to Lieu because it sounded like he was saying that he might have indicted Mr. Trump were it not for the fact that he is the president. This is a conclusion that did not appear in the special counsel's report or in his prior public statement.

    Mueller amended his answer to Lieu in the afternoon, during his opening statement before the House Intelligence committee.
    "Before we go to questions, I want to add one correction to my testimony this morning," Mueller told the panel. "I want to go back to one thing that was said this morning by Mr. Lieu who said, and I quote, 'You didn't charge the president because of the OLC opinion.' That is not the correct way to say it. As we say in the report, and as I said at the opening, we did not reach a determination as to whether the president committed a crime."

    It was a correction of a completely false statement.

    The OLC memo came after the Starr investigation and report. Times have changed and Mueller was under different rules.

    It's that and waaaaaaay more, my friend.

    Having lived in DC I have to question whether or not Trump really grasped what he was up against when he pledged to "drain the Swamp". I do, and when I first heard him say that I thought he would be lucky to change the culture in Washington, which brings me to my point - the nomenklatura and apparatchiks in Washington think they run this country, not us. We don't serve and obey them - they serve and obey us.

    It's not just about money and favors, it's about the thing that enables them to obtain both - POWER - and our self-styled masters in Washington are stinking drunk on it.

    No matter what Barr does he will be attacked by the crooked political establishment and its MSM.
    His job is to charge every crook he can find in the DOJ/FBI/CIA/IRS. And they are not that hard to find many have already taken the 5th.

    You mean like CNN?

    "DENNARD: Consultant and a contractor, the consulting firms that they form and you all get is because you get more money when having a consultant for having the security clearance. Stop acting like that doesn't happen.

    MUDD: That is incorrect. I have zero consulting relationships with the U.S. government. Zero.

    DENNARD: I'm not talking -- Phil, that's a good talking point. I'm not talking about relationship with the government. I'm talking about in the private sector. When you a security clearance...

    MUDD: I have zero relationships with the private sector that involve my security clearance.Zero. Zero. I get zero dollars from consulting companies that deal with the U.S. government. Are we clear?

    DENNARD: Well, he will be clear in saying that everybody in Washington, D.C. knows -- if you don't want to be honest about it, that's on you -- but if you have a security clearance and you keep it, you get more money to have it.

    MUDD: We're done. We're done. GET OUT!!!

    SCIUTTO: Phil...

    DENNARD: It's not your show. I'm staying right here. Don't be so defensive about this.

    MUDD: GET OUT!!!"

    Ordinary Americans are now very afraid of America's government. Any candidate, regardless of party, that can credibly run for significant reductions in its size power and cost will be hard to beat in 2020.

    Of course it was. His first statement was false and had to be corrected.
    You know - corrected because it was false.
