James Comey: "[Mueller] didn't succeed in his mission because there was inadequate transparency to the American people on whose behalf he was investigating." https://t.co/NbTZiIqfZy pic.twitter.com/XwSX52QJDK— The Hill (@thehill) October 27, 2019
Let's start with the obvious. Law enforcement (and Special Counsel) had a mission to find the truth. Here, Comey is admitting that the "mission" of investigating the Russian influence into our 2016 election was to make a criminal conspiracy case against the President or at least someone within his campaign. The lack of criminal cases for conspiracy, makes the "mission" a failure... at least according to the former FBI director. Or perhaps, more to the point, the "mission" was to convince the American public that there was a conspiracy, even if you were unable to conclusively prove it.
Now ironically, Comey himself had to testify under oath that he had found no evidence to that point of coordination between Trump and the Russian government, or those who ultimately interfered. He also testified under oath that he leaked information to the Press in order to prompt a Special Counsel investigation to continue the work he had started (but ultimately failed).
Special Counsel provided the public with a Report that normally would not be allowed under Department of Justice rules. It provided implied allegations without facts to back it up, and embarrassing information that never quite made it to the point of being evidence of criminal wrongdoing. More information than would ever be provided in a normal criminal probe that did not produce charges. In spite of this, the report not only failed to push the needle in favor of impeachment, it pushed it away from impeachment.
Occam's Razor suggests that the simplest theory with the least amount of assumptions is usually the correct theory. In this case, the simplest theory as to why five investigations failed to find any evidence of coordination or conspiracy would be that there was no coordination or conspiracy to find. That theory is the most plausible by about a hundred fold and requires not a single assumption to be made. You simply have to accept the facts as we know them, at face value.
Jame's Comey's theory is that the President simply outsmarted the FBI, both chambers of Congress, and Special Counsel for nearly three years. Comey believes that Trump was able to conceal everything and control everyone involved, which prevented the guys in the white hats from finding all of the evidence of the dastardly deeds that the former FBI director is sure were committed. This theory does not reflect the facts as we know them, and requires you to refuse to accept them at all.
I am not sure that James Comey is right in the head. He probably truly believed that the President was corrupt and that it would just require the right amount of pressure on the right people before everything would just flood out into the open. When it didn't pan out, and people like Paul Manafort are serving what amounts to life sentences... does Comey stop to think that possibly Manafort never actually had information to provide? How would you feel if you deep down knew that you destroyed the reputation of the very FBI you served and loved over a partisan allegation that may not have been rooted in reality? Well, you would probably tweet pictures of yourself in the middle of a forest looking completely lost, because you would be certifiably insane!

Comey was obviously instrumental in the "insurance policy" and the coup attempt.
America will survive if Barr and Durham are allowed to proceed and they do their jobs.
And if the smoke is correct high level Obama officials deserve at the very least to be in jail for a long time.
Cognitive dissonance again
The report outlined 10 instances in which President Trump may have obstructed justice.
It also found that Russia attempted to interfere in U.S. elections.
You deny both of them.
Cognitive dissonance again.
If you listen quietly you can supposedly hear James Baker singing
to a criminal investigation's grand jury
and I bet he does have quite a story to tell
we shall see... time is now on our side...

I think I trust Durham to be objective.
I definitely do not trust Barr to be objective. There is a cogent argument that after certain statements he made, he should already have recused himself.
Comey is admitting that the "mission" to a deep state of to take down Trump???
Cognitive dissonance.. or delusions
Get help
Okay Roger.
Back up what you say or SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!
You tell me... what does Comey mean when he said that Mueller "failed"???
How did Mueller "fail" Roger?
Please explain...
Unless your wrinkly old smelly ass cannot come up with an actual argument?
Then go right back to "SHUT THE FUCK UP"!!!!
Why would James Baker need to flip?
Why hasn't he denied it if it wasn't true?
Why is Schiff so desperate?
As Comey said - so many things to ponder. and boy has he been quiet.
Clapper said everything he did was ordered by the president.
Another question, exactly what was that?
Hopefully we will be getting answers. Barr looks pretty relaxed and determined.
And the president continues doing a great job.
Ch UN-truth:
[Comey] probably truly believed that the President was corrupt and that it would just require the right amount of pressure on the right people before everything would just flood out into the open.

Which, however, is happening now in another venue.
According to the public schedule, they left the golf club at 3:33pm. They reported the raid took place at 3:30pm. An hour and a half later they staged the photo.
There is some evidence that the President was playing golf, when the raid occurred.
The photo released by the White House, may have been staged.
When Ch starts screaming, he's on difficult ground.
The chief official White House photographer for former Presidents Ronald Reagan and Barack Obama suggested the Trump administration was posing for Saturday's stern-faced Situation Room picture in the wake of a U.S. military raid that resulted in the death of a major ISIS figurehead.
Pete Souza, the former director of the White House Photography Office, called the timestamp of the Situation Room picture into question Sunday morning. Souza inferred that it's very unlikely President Donald Trump, Vice President Mike Pence and several top administration officials and generals were actively monitoring the raid on ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi's compound when the photograph was taken Saturday in Washington.

Actually Mueller should have recused himself.
And no special counsel should have ever been appointed.
But even the Mueller investigation found no American had ever colluded with Russians in the 2016 election.
But Hillary definitely did with Ukraine and the Steele dossier which relied on Russian input. And then she destroyed 30,000 emails after they were subpoenaed. funny how Mueller never investigated that whole linkage...
Panic mode

CHunTruth SAID:
"[Mueller] probably truly believed that the President was corrupt and that it would just require the right amount of pressure on the right people before everything would just flood out into the open."
HERE'S WHAT COMEY SAID:
"[Mueller] didn't succeed in his mission because there was inadequate transparency to the American people on whose behalf he was investigating. And when I say inadequate I mean that in two different ways:
Both in the way in which his report was spun, massaged, and in my view, misconstrued by the Attorney General, and the way in which it was physically presented, made it impossible for the American people to have access to it.
"Bob Mueller presented a great report that's old school. It's 446 pages long but nobody has access to it so nobody sees the work he did and the American people except for a small slice don't know that he removed any possible fuzz on the notion of the Russian attack, that he laid out an extraordinary series of acts by the president.
"I think part of his mandate is to make sure that the people who he represents have a reasonable understanding of what he found."
Mueller's investigation into whether there was Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election followed Comey's 2017 firing. This year, a redacted version of Mueller's report was released publicly.
---The report outlined 10 instances in which President Trump may have obstructed justice....
Ahead of the release of the redacted report, Attorney General William Barr released a summary saying he and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein determined there was not enough evidence to bring an obstruction of justice charge against Trump.
Roger you can't spam your way out of this.
"You tell me... what does Comey mean when he said that Mueller "failed"???
How did Mueller "fail" Roger?

Go for it Renter Roger.
So no, I do NOT trust Barr to be capable of the least bit of objectivity.
@Doc_0
If Trump had briefed Democrats before the Baghdadi raid, it would have been his first clearly impeachable offense. The Dems have proven beyond all question that they cannot be trusted with such sensitive information. Trump would have been wildly irresponsible to loop them in.
How Trump Announced Baghdadi’s Death
October 27, 2019 at 3:12 pm EDT
Lawfare:
“The eventual tone of Trump’s remarks… diminished the solemnity of the moment. This could have been a signature moment for the president, giving him a chance to offer a powerful message of purpose and unity.
Instead,Trump gloated that Baghdadi ‘died like a dog. He died like a coward’ and that he ‘spent his last moments in utter fear, in total panic and dread, terrified of the American forces bearing down on him.’ I hope all that is true, but of course there is no way to know Baghdadi’s feelings as he faced death, and such boastful speculation is unworthy of the seriousness these events deserve.
“Trump’s speech and his subsequent responses to reporters’ questions also meandered, with the president repeating himself and bringing in the Muslim ban, among other issues. He called the terrorists ‘losers’ and ‘frightened puppies,’ language more suitable for the playground than the White House.”

U.S. Kills ISIS Spokesperson In Follow Up Strike
October 27, 2019 at 3:09 pm EDT

How CIA Got Tip On ISIS Leader’s Location
October 27, 2019 at 3:03 pm EDT
“The surprising information about the Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi’s general location — in a village deep inside a part of northwestern Syria controlled by rival Qaeda groups — came following the arrest and interrogation of one of Mr. al-Baghdadi’s wives and a courier this past summer,” the New York Times reports.
“Armed with that initial tip, the C.I.A. worked closely with Iraqi and Kurdish intelligence officials in Iraq and Syria to identify Mr. al-Baghdadi’s more precise whereabouts and to put spies in place to monitor his periodic movements, allowing American commandos to stage an assault Saturday in which President Trump said Mr. al-Baghdadi died.”

Go for it Renter Roger.
Again James...
It doesn't tell us how he "failed".
The job of a prosecutor is to determine whether or not there was criminal activity. By all regards, Mueller's probe was a 100% success. He got to the bottom of it and found no evidence of criminal conspiracy.
He (or someone reporting to him) wrote over 400 pages. More than anyone was technically required to ever see based on the Special Counsel laws and the protocol and regulations of the Department of Justice.
________
Any other Comey suggestions... whether it was in regards to how the report was released, or to what degree it was redacted... have nothing to do with whether or not Special Counsel did their job and made a determination of criminal activity.
If... as Mueller seems to be suggesting... the final report did not include enough incriminating information to make the public believe the President should be impeached....
And his suggestion was that the "mission" failed.
Then that concedes that the "Mission" was not to do what Special Counsel was supposed to do (determine criminal activity) - but rather in Comey's mind, the "mission" was to use the Special Counsel to turn public opinion against the President.
Which is a blatant obvious open admission that the Special Counsel that Comey prompted with his leaks was being used for political (not legal) purposes.
It's pretty simple James.
You can only be mad about what Comey is mad about IF you absolutely admit that it was about politics and turning public opinion.

Mueller] didn't succeed in his mission because there was inadequate transparency to the American people on whose behalf he was investigating. And when I say inadequate I mean that in two different ways:
Both in the way in which his report was spun, massaged, and in my view, misconstrued by the Attorney General, and the way in which it was physically presented, made it impossible for the American people to have access to it.
Barr managed to control the public access to see the entire report to protect the President!!!
"Bob Mueller presented a great report that's old school.

So Roger...
You admit that Comey wasn't worried about whether or not the DOJ appointed Special Counsel was able to complete the task assigned to it by law.
Which was to determine if criminal actions had taken place and provide a CONFIDENTIAL report to the Attorney General...
By the letter of the law and by what a Special Counsel was designed BY LAW was completely successful. Special Counsel found no criminal "conspiracy or "collusion" as it was.
Moreover, the "confidential" letter to the AG was released to the public and Special Counsel was allowed to answer questions in front of a national audience by both House and Senate members.
The transparency went well beyond what the law required!
BUT AS I HAVE STATED:
You admit that the "MISSION" as Comey sees it...
Was to write a Public Report that would make the President look bad, even if there was no crimes committed!
So thank you, Roger... for proving my point!!!
No plans may head to the the Grove at Ole’Miss.

He was playing golf when the military raided the ISIS headquarters.
As Attorney General Barr pointed out.
The Department of Justice, DOJ Subpoenas, and Grand Juries are not for the use of politicians to engage in political acts.
The are 100% absolutely guaranteed to be used ONLY for criminal investigation, which by law are not released to the public (unless they charge someone and bring them to trial).
Comey believes Mueller "failed" - because he was unable to change the minds of Americans about impeachment. Comey's view of "failure" is 100% political and 0% legal.
Bottom line: Nothing that Rosenstein, Barr, and the DOJ redacted changed anything in terms of whether or not anyone committed crimes or whether or not Mueller found criminal behavior.
The idea of providing a "report" to the public is BY 100% NATURE a political action... and not part of what Special Counsel laws demand that Special Counsels do!!!

Barr's view is that the Constitution gives the power to a unitary executive to act with or without Congress's approval, and to keep secret the executive's actions.
He has made it impossible for the people who paid millions for the investigation to actually read it for themselves.
The Constitution granted Congress the rights to act as a check on executive power.
The idea of keeping a "report" from the public is BY 100% NATURE a political action.
Thanks for proving my point Scott A**hole!
Actually Roger..

But you're a liberal.

Barr's view is that the Constitution gives the power to a unitary executive to act with or without Congress's approval, and to keep secret the executive's actions.
The Constitution gave Congress the power of the purse strings which ironically they have abdicated in recent years giving the executive even more power.
Congress has no right to see secrets documents nor call advisors to testify. Its called executive privilege and has been recognized as far back as George Washington.
I think our “checks and balances” is breaking down.
I try to keep my political views at a minimum, when I worry about the power of the President.
If I have a difference of opinion on legitimate issues, I believe that if you're party wins an election, they can make policy decisions and enact legislation. If they are not Constitution according to the courts it's what the Constitution provides.
But: This President is above the law! You actually agree with him, that he could shot me and he could not be arrested or indicted.
What's even worse is he has, allegedly, committed high crimes and misdemeanors. He calls it a witchhunt or a hoax. It's just politics. The house has the authority and obligation to investigate the President.
I don't want any President to have the right to do anything he wants to do.
Our country is at risk, as large as the civil war. The President should not be a dictatorship.

DON THE CON: The raid took place at 3:33 pm EDT and Trump, who bragged about watching the raid take place live "like a movie", didn't arrive back at the White House from playing golf, until 4:18 pm EDT.
Yes Roger:
The President was a Russian spy - but five investigations didn't find any evidence
The President committed obstruction - but the A.G. the Deputy A.G. and the Office of Legal counsel concluded otherwise.
The President committed the crime of "Quid Pro Quo" - but of course, no such crime exists.
etc... etc... etc...
“The President, Vice President, and all civil officers of the United States, shall be removed from office on impeachment for, and conviction of, treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors.”
The courts have decided that the house shall decide if the President treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors.
Challenging that quid Pro quo as a high crime or misdemeanor, goes against the constitutionally granted rights to the house of Representatives.
You shouted collusion is not a crime.
If the investigation had found evidence of collusion, you would be making the same illogical argument.

Scott, you know that the house has the right to investigate and indict the President. The Constitution doesn't require that the high crime and misdemeanors are. Whether or not the high crime and misdemeanors are actual crimes and misdemeanors as passed and enforced by the executive branch.
Are you claiming that the house doesn't have the right to determine if the President has committed high crimes or misdemeanors??

Well Roger...
Here is how it is.
Congress writes a law giving executive branch the authority to set the terms and conditions of financial aid.
Then they want to impeach a President for using that authority to set terms and conditions of financial aid. Based on the argument that "they" have the sole "discretion" to determine what is a high crime or misdemeanor.
The argument is dubious at best, because the two terms (high crime = felony) (misdemeanor = misdemeanor) actually do have actual definitions in our criminal lawbook.
________
We have had three impeachments. All of them involved a real crime that was covered under a statute.
In this case the House is literally contradicting the law that they wrote and declaring it as a High Crime or Misdemeanor as it pertains to the bad yellow man.
The Constitution doesn't require that the high crime and misdemeanors are. Whether or not the high crime and misdemeanors are actual crimes and misdemeanors as passed and enforced by the executive branch.
Solicitation of dirt from a foreign country is illegal.
Quid pro quo is not a crime. Using that is a political distraction to avoid the fact that the President broke the law as determined by the house.

President Trump knew the Central Intelligence Agency and Special Operations commandos were zeroing in on the location for Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the Islamic State leader, when he ordered American troops to withdraw from northern Syria earlier this month, intelligence, military and counterterrorism officials said on Sunday.
For months, intelligence officials had kept Mr. Trump apprised of what he had set as a top priority, the hunt for Mr. al-Baghdadi, the world’s most wanted terrorist.
But Mr. Trump’s abrupt withdrawal order three weeks ago disrupted the meticulous planning underway and forced Pentagon officials to speed up the plan for the risky night raid before their ability to control troops, spies and reconnaissance aircraft disappeared with the pullout, the officials said.
Mr. al-Baghdadi’s death in the raid on Saturday, they said, occurred largely in spite of, and not because of, Mr. Trump’s actions.
Quid pro quo as a threat to withhold military aid from a vulnerable ally until a request is fulfilled to go looking for dirt on an opposition candidate in a national election is surely a form of bribery.

what we're saying is that the house does not possess the right to make up high crimes and misdemeanors out of whole cloth where none exist.
iow, this is what you've been reduced to. you clowns are so desperate and so obsessed with removing this man from office and overturning the result of the last election that you are willing and eager to impeach him over ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.
you literally want to make it up as you go along. you want to take a standard negotiating protocol with a foreign power and turn it into a crime. and you want to do it all in secret and abandon due process for the accused.
by your standard, every president going back to george washington could've been impeached.
so i suppose what we should do going forward is draft a set of boilerplate articles of impeachment and have them ready for the next president since this is the precedent you're setting. at precisely the moment the next president concludes their oath of office and inaugural speech, the speaker of the house should proceed to the dais and deliver the articles of impeachment to the incoming president. and then the proceedings begin. and i'm not sure how we as a nation conduct foreign policy since you've just criminalized the ability of our chief executive do do the nation's business in the realm of foreign affairs.
you dumb fucks have done what you always do alky. you're rushed headlong into a clusterfuck of your own making with zero regard for the consequences or long term implications and historical precedent.
all because "orange man bad."
behold the idiocy of the alky -
... the President broke the law as determined by the house.
it doesn't get more unconstitutional than that, folks.
laws? we don't need no stinkin' laws.
we're the house. we make it up as we go along.
i cannot wait for the next occurrence of a democrat president and republican house.
according to the alky, the house can impeach that president for anything, or nothing at all. as determined by the house.
whee!
Like the article I posted yesterday about the old white man party doing everything to suppress voting of people they don't like, the WA Post publishes this opinion for the scum bag republicans.....LOCK HIM UP!!!!! BWAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!

MOBILE POLLING places that popped up on college campuses and other population-dense areas were “the most effective program we had,” Dana DeBeauvoir, the chief elections official in Travis County, Tex., told the New York Times. That would explain why Texas Republicans shut them down.
The Times reported last week that, as Texans head to the polls, it will be substantially harder for college students to vote. A new state law required all polling places to remain open for the state’s full 12-day early-voting period. Localities could not afford to keep the pop-up sites open that long, so colleges in Austin, Brownsville, Fort Worth and elsewhere have had to close them. That guarantees lower turnout among people whom Republicans do no want voting: Democratic-leaning students.
Early voting is meant to enable more people to vote: Shift workers, for example, who cannot wait in line at a polling place on a Tuesday can still have a voice. Texas’s law turns that vote-enabling system into a vote-suppressing weapon. Republicans throughout the country have embraced voter suppression as a strategy for party survival, and this is one more sad example.
itizens are citizens, whether they are 18 or 88. All should be encouraged to vote. But year in, year out, even jurisdictions not run by people seeking to discourage voting have trouble keeping lines reasonable, equipment functional and the experience less than excruciating. As 171 George Mason University students who recently had their registrations rejected can tell you, as The Post reported, registering from a campus address can be particularly difficult.
States should be trying to fix such problems, starting with competent staff and convenient polling locations and hours, rather than removing opportunities for eligible voters. Congress should require states to register people automatically when local government authorities have the information needed to do so — DMV records, for example.
And the Republican Party should stake its future on offering policies and candidates that can attract voters — not on keeping potential voters away from the polls.
Keep slurping rat you dumb fuck.....1 trillion debt this year and you just swallowed......idiot...

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) was marketed as once-in-a-generation tax reform that would unlock growth, boost investment in the US, and ultimately reduce deficits because of increased tax revenue.
The tax bill did accomplish a number of desirable things. It brought down the corporate rate (though by more than necessary), which was too high and was hurting our competitiveness. It brought our international tax system more in line with other developed nations and hopefully reversed the troubling trend of corporate inversions. And the reforms to the state and local tax deduction and home mortgage interest deduction were some of the most sensible and courageous tax changes we have seen in quite some time.
However, the shortcomings well outweigh the benefits. The pass-through provisions are a confusing hodgepodge that add more inequities and complexities to the code. The many expiring provisions add new uncertainties rather than increasing overall certainty, which was one of the driving forces behind tax reform. The lost revenues from the bill will add trillions to the national debt, at a time we should be bringing the debt trajectory down.
Policy-wise, this is the story of fiscal damage and a missed opportunity. But what we have seen since the passage of the tax bill is that though the fiscal damage is significant, the political economy damage may be just as large.
Why is it that everything trump states is basically lies????? Is he that insecure he needs constant praise or is he just stupid to think his minions like rat and cramps will believe anything????/ LOOK HIM UP chant was most amusing watching his shit eaten grin as 60k people booed him!!!!!

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump falsely boasted that he predicted Osama bin Laden's 9/11 attack on the World Trade Center and inaccurately asserted he had always opposed the war in Iraq in a news conference Sunday that often fell short on facts.
A look at some of the president's claims at the briefing, where he announced the death of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the leader of the Islamic State group:
BIN LADEN
TRUMP: "I'm writing a book ... About a year before the World Trade Center came down, the book came out. I was talking about Osama bin Laden. I said, 'You have to kill him. You have to take him out.' Nobody listened to me." Trump added that people said to him, "'You predicted that Osama Bin Laden had to be killed, before he knocked down the World Trade Center.' It's true."
THE FACTS: It's not true.
His 2000 book, "The America We Deserve," makes a passing mention of bin Laden but did no more than point to the al-Qaida leader as one of many threats to U.S. security. Nor does he say in the book that bin Laden should have been killed.
As part of his criticism of what he considered Bill Clinton's haphazard approach to U.S. security as president, Trump wrote: "One day we're told that a shadowy figure with no fixed address named Osama bin Laden is public enemy Number One, and U.S. jetfighters lay waste to his camp in Afghanistan. He escapes back under some rock, and a few news cycles later it's on to a new enemy and new crisis."
it doesn't get more unconstitutional than that, folks.
You dumb fuck....it is completely constitutional as defined by the founders....You just aren't smart enough to see it....BTW.....judge rules you don't have to vote to have an inquiry and the dems are following the rules as defined by Boehner!!!!!
Nope they have the power to impeach not make up new crimes and apply them retroactively.
See the ex-post factor clause shit for brains.
Policy-wise, this is the story of fiscal damage and a missed opportunity.
kinda like 0linsky's $800 BILLION stimulus. fiscal damage, missed opportunity, and not a fucking "shovel ready job" in sight.
So if quid pro quo with another country is illegal, how do you explain arms treaties or trade agreements?
We'll wait.
not make up new crimes and apply them retroactively.
BWAAAAAAAAAA!!!!! You don't need a crime to impeach you dumb fuck....Maybe you can point out what your made up shit is!!!!!!
