1. Barr's a slippery cuss. Compare:
"whether any Americans - including individuals associated with the Trump campaign - joined the Russian conspiracies to influence the election. . . The Special Counsel's investigation did not find that the Trump campaign or anyone
2. associated with it conspired or coordinated with Russia. . . "

What did Barr leave out?

"Any Americans" not "individuals associated with the Trump campaign . . ."

If you read Barr carefully & I recommend you do, you would see he is telling you there may be American
3. conspirators, but Barr says Mueller says they were not "associated with the Trump campaign." #SlipperyBillBarr.

K&E and Judge Starr should all be proud. @maddow @RepJerryNadler @RepAdamSchiff
4. So what Americans were may have been around the Russians who were not associated with the Trump Campaign?
Any ideas @GOPLeader @SenateGOP? 😎

1. I am fairly certain that Trump shut down the Mueller probe. Once it was locked in with date certain @WhiteHouse tasked Trump's Soviet style propaganda machine to prepare for disinformation memo Barr delivered, but he did it a day late. They're struggling to get back on track.
2. One good counter is to push "What is Mitch Hiding?" Push McConnell as an enemy influence agent. Run it daily in Kentucky. Don't be nice. Call him a traitor. For Trump, remember Barr tried his best but he still had to say Trump was not exonerated for obstruction. Push 24/7.
3. @PhilipRucker said some in @TheDemocrats caucus want to move on. Who? We need names so they can be identified to their voters as supporting the hiding of the Russian attack evidence. Make breaking ranks carry a price. Facing defeat in a primary.

1. I'm strongly leaning to some concerted effort likely commenced within the last 30 days where the end of the Mueller probe was perhaps ordered. It evolved an organized disinformation operation that was well sourced but with flawed execution when Barr missed the Sat pm deadline
2. It's possible that the simultaneous existence of a roll out operation was the result of leaks. But the fact that Barr's memo was so poorly crafted and facially specious, raises questions that cast doubt on the legitimacy of the entire Report wrap up operation.
3. There are few things more dangerous in American civil society as a corrupt prosecutor. Barr needs to be fully transparent and if he did something dumb with the #MuellerReport he best come clean now.

1. ISIS and Turkey attempted to steal all of NE Syria's oil and gas. They had it for many years. Caused loss of revenue and environmental damage. But now it's in the hands of the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria.
2. With oil, gas, hydro-power & water, NE Syrians can make a little paradise if they are given a chance. We need to flood N&E Syria with building supplies. Find an environmentally appropriate form and build 1,000s of houses in villages and apartment units in cities.
3. I like reinforced concrete with thick walls for temperature control and RPGs in a pinch. 😎 Expand existing villages and cities. Put in sanitary systems, water and electricity. People can't re-settle if they don't have a place to live. Build it and they will come.

(THREAD) The already-infamous "Barr Letter" is a deeply dishonest and misleading document that richly deserves methodical public evisceration by committed journalists. So I hope you'll read on and retweet this "live" dismantling of the Trump-Russia probe's worst political hitjob.
1/ Barr begins by conceding that, in accordance with DOJ regulations, the report he has received from Mueller only summarizes "prosecution or declination" decisions—meaning that it may well not include much of the raw evidence Mueller compiled, and be sparsely conclusory in form.
2/ Though Mueller may not have included raw evidence in his report—which mainly summarizes who he charged or didn't and why—Barr observes that "the report explains that his staff thoroughly investigated" the allegations, thus confusing the raw evidence and what Mueller told Barr.

Here is what I don’t get about Dana Boente.

In March 2017, Comey (again) diverged from standard protocol and confirmed an ongoing FBI investigation. This time, the investigation into Trump-Russia. This is what he said:
“I have been authorized by the Department of Justice to confirm that the FBI, as part of our counterintelligence mission, is investigating the Russian government's efforts to interfere in the 2016 presidential election...”
“... and that includes investigating the nature of any links between individuals associated with the Trump campaign and the Russian government and whether there was any coordination between the campaign and Russia's efforts.”

Comey said yesterday the Trump campaign was not under investigation. In March 2017, Comey told Congress that the FBI is “investigating the nature of links between individuals associated with the Trump campaign and the Russian government and whether there was any coordination...
between the campaign and Russia’s efforts.”
But he signed a FISA application against Carter Page that specifically mentioned Page’s work on the Trump campaign. Further, Comey told USA Today earlier this year that he regrets telling Trump in early 2017 that he wasn’t a target of the investigation:

1) Many people are frustrated by the Mueller Special Counsel. I say don’t be frustrated and here’s see why.
2) This is the letter appointing the Special Counsel. nytimes.com/interactive/20…
3) The letter was written by Acting AG Rod Rosenstein on May 17, 2017. Important part: “The Special Counsel is authorized to conduct the investigation confirmed by then-FBI Director James B. Corney in testimony before the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence on...

I'm a few pages into the IG report and I just can't get over the thought that there's no reason there ever should've been an investigation into Hillary's e-mails in the first place. The FBI was just trying to satisfy the Republicans.
"....we did not have confidence that Strzok’s decision to prioritize the Russia investigation over following up on the Midyear-related investigative lead... was free from bias." One was a thing, the other was not a thing. He picked the thing over the not thing. That's not bias.
This was my first major blog post on my current blog. It analyzed the initial FBI report on Clinton and it was pretty clear to me (and the FBI in the end) that she didn't do much, if anything, wrong. thegreatconsolidation.com/2016/09/not-wh…
