    Comey was familiar with how the law worked for Washington insiders. And he was familiar with Bob Barr.

    “I like and respect Bill Barr,” Comey said after leaving a day-long congressional hearing on Capitol Hill. “I know he’s an institutionalist who cares deeply about the integrity of the Justice Department.”

    “Bill Barr is a talented person who was a good attorney general the first time. I liked him very much then and I think he’ll serve the Justice Department well,” said Comey."

    Comey knew the fix was in as soon as Barr was nominated.

    Now isn't the time. The time for indictments is July 2020, so it can all play out during the final 2020 run.

    I agree Barr is the problem! When’s he getting fired? Or are you ok with his preferential treatment of swamp dwellers?

    Barr has the power to clean up the DOJ/FBI and the swamp. Trump does not have the power to do it himself.
    In business there may be such a thing as neutral competence. That does not work in Washington.

    Trump will have to wait until after the election. I suspect that by then he will have learned to find someone who has denounced the rampant corruption in Washington establishment in detail.

    Sessions and Barr are Trump's mistakes. The Obama holdovers are also Trump's mistakes.
    He should have fired all of them on day one.

    You mean the guy who had just investigated clinton for same and admits to intentionally handing off classified memos to a person he knew to be uncleared?
    That guy had no idea of the law AND no intent to give classified documents to uncleared persons?
    Really?

    There is little support for Impeachment, so please again go against the will of the people. The Obama Care vote did and the Democrats lost 69 seats in Congress 8 months later.

    So Barr will politicise the DoJ by timing indictments to have the biggest effect on an election?

    Nice. I guess Trump supporters think that way.

    Mueller’s team has been forced to admit in court that this was a false insinuation. Earlier this month, a federal judge rebuked Mueller and the Justice Department for suggesting that the troll farm’s social media activities “were undertaken on behalf of, if not at the direction of, the Russian government.” US District Judge Dabney Friedrich noted that Mueller’s February 2018 indictment of the IRA “does not link the [IRA] to the Russian government” and alleges “only private conduct by private actors.” Jonathan Kravis, a senior prosecutor on the Mueller team, acknowledged that this is the case. “[T]he report itself does not state anywhere that the Russian government was behind the Internet Research Agency activity,” Kravis told the court.

    I know, we've provided this before, but you just never seem to acknowledge it. So, IRA wasn't tied directly to either the GRU, or the Russian gov in particular, were they? Bobblehead tries to create a false narrative that it does, but the Judge in the case has noted that the indictment doesn't support the assertion, and the whopper here is that you can't swallow that because it entirely undercuts your narrative.

    Burglary isn't a federal crime and back in the day the FBI didn't get involved with state or local crimes especially third rate burglaries.

    During the early 70's Americans weren't happy campers with the FBI when they learned what Hoover's FBI was up to for four decades, spying on law abiding American citizens and even the Beatles like John Lennon.

    Probably why Mark Felt remained anonymous and went by the name as Deep Throat. If America knew that Deep Throat was the Associate Director of the FBI, Watergate would have gone nowhere.

    But some spying on Americans were necary like spying on Martin Luther King.
    Ends up MLK was an useful idiot of the Kremlin.
    When Moscow told MLK to protest against the Vietnam War, MLK being a good comrade carried out his orders.
    Every speech that MLK gave including "I have a dream" speech was approved and signed off by the Kremlin.
    MLK's FBI **** file wasn't released until 2017.

    Why would you think that? They are investigating now and will likely take that long to gather all the evidence. Unless you can prove they are ready now.......can you.

    The DOJ/FBI has obviously been corrupt from the start. House and Senate investigations in 1975 and 1976 conducted by the
    United States Senate Select Committee to Study Governmental Operations with Respect to Intelligence Activities, and the
    United States House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence exposed a lot of that corruption.

    I wasn't, or I missed it if it was.

    Sources are grand. I don't know why you didn't link this one. Here's one, though, and it doesn't quite agree with what you're saying.

    https://www.justsecurity.org/65251/how-secrecy-undermines-mueller-and-the-defense-of-democracy/

    The narrow testimony and contentious questioning of Robert Mueller has raised questions on the political left as well as the right about one of his most significant findings related to Russia’s secret efforts to influence the 2016 election on behalf of President Donald Trump: the social media campaign carried out by the Internet Research Agency (IRA), a company in St. Petersburg, Russia, that is often described as a “troll factory.” While there is more than enough evidence in the public record to make the common-sense case – and to form one of Mueller’s criminal indictments last year – the U.S. “national security” establishment’s penchant for secrecy has undermined his case and threatens to do so again in any push to prevent a repeat in 2020.

    ...

    Judge Friedrich’s rebuke and Mueller’s unresponsive testimony raise an important question for many people: Is Mueller’s case against Trump overblown?

    The answer is no, not if you know the story of Prigozhin and his ties to the Kremlin.

    ...​

    Read on if you dare.

    Pretty sure that's where Obama got his long form birth certificate from.

    He knew the law which is how he knew giving the documents would not result in charges.
