A DOJ investigator/prosecutor's job is binary, to charge or not to charge a crime and to keep his opinions to himself. Barr asked Mueller directly three times if his decision not to make a decision on obstruction was based on DOJ not being able to charge a sitting president and he said no so someone is lying and Barr may have witnesses.</p> <p>Mueller's task was to delay the Spygate investigation and make it disappear if Trump could be hounded out of office one way or another but he failed. Now he is trying to slink away with his tail between his legs and avoid answering for his unethical actions. This smoke screen diversion is a weak and dumb attempt to cover for the people responsible for corruption that began long before Trump ran for office. It was tested on McCain and used successfully against Flynn when he publicly opposed Obama's crap Iran deal in 2014. Two players in this present and past corruption, Halper and Dearlove, were the ones who smeared Flynn and they also worked directly with the Russian propagandists who were named by Steele as his sources for his bogus dossier.</p> <p>The shit is about to hit the fan and all of these rat bastards will be coated in the stink they deserve.</p> </div></div></div> Thu, 30 May 2019 06:37:32 +0000 Peter comment 268277 at http://dagblog.com Alan knows about abusing http://dagblog.com/comment/268275#comment-268275 <a id="comment-268275"></a> <p><em>In reply to <a href="http://dagblog.com/comment/268260#comment-268260">Alan Dershowitz Accuses</a></em></p> <div class="field field-name-comment-body field-type-text-long field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><p>Alan knows about abusing minors - didn't know about Trust.</p> </div></div></div> Thu, 30 May 2019 05:23:00 +0000 PeraclesPlease comment 268275 at http://dagblog.com Another bloody chest banner http://dagblog.com/comment/268267#comment-268267 <a id="comment-268267"></a> <p><em>In reply to <a href="http://dagblog.com/comment/268258#comment-268258">Sometimes a picture can</a></em></p> <div class="field field-name-comment-body field-type-text-long field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><p>Another bloody chest banner should be "The Russians are mopping the floor with us."</p> <p>I guess there is no one word version of that.</p> </div></div></div> Wed, 29 May 2019 23:51:29 +0000 moat comment 268267 at http://dagblog.com
