I am comforted by the fact that while trump may have Barr

[justhanginon]

and Rosenstein, we have Speaker Pelosi. I would not bet against her! We'll win this thing I predict. It ain't over til the speaker lady sings.

[blur256]

1. I was thinking this just earlier

Thank God we didn't let the republicans control the narrative on Pelosi. They are totally sacred of her and with good reason.

[rzemanfl]

4. She's good, but she isn't sacred, although nothing is to Repukes. n/t

[Dawson Leery]

2. Thank you for this. Rosenstein is scumbag like the rest of the GOP.

If we get the Presidency next year, I want to see Chris Wray and Jerome Powell out on their asses.
No Rethug can be trusted.

[FakeNoose]

11. They all need to go -- all the Chump appointees are suspect

Don't forget, they all gave a "loyalty" oath before they got their jobs. Mueller wasn't appointed by Chump anyway, so he didn't have to do that. Something will need to be done about the tainted judicial appointees too.

[Poiuyt]

15. Of course Rosenstein wasn't going to sign off on obstruction

He was part of it from the beginning. He's the one who wrote the letter giving Trump an excuse to fire Comey. He was complicit.

[True Blue American]

24. Thank you

The irony of this is that Comey played good dog attacking Hillary after he could not indict her, but Trump fired Comey any way!

[democratisphere]

3. ADAM SCHIFF is also a tremendous asset for the Democrats.

[Leghorn21]

5. We have these peeps, too, j!!

Hang tough, Dems

[volstork]

7. I absolutely ADORE

16. Rep. Richie Neal, Ways and Means

MA, 2nd district - been in since 1988

[CentralMass]

6. We she kinda sorta said he wasnt worth impeaching already.

[Honeycombe8]

8. I think Rosenstein is a straight arrow govt guy.

He's not in charge of Barr, though.

[justhanginon]

13. I was under the impression that he and Barr both

signed off on the letter. A tough spot for Rosenstein to be in but it comes with the territory I guess. Maybe he will get a chance to testify before congress and tell his story.
Like everything else in this wretched administration it is a big multi layered mess. You just don't know whom to trust which adds to the frustration of following this.

[2naSalit]

18. Only Barr signed the letter.

Was watching the Melber special and they pointed that out.

I think Mueller left the DoJ office early because he saw this coming and didn't want any part of it. He'll be testifying by next week. Sounds like Barr will be getting a subpoena too. And maybe Rosenstien refused to sign the letter but stayed to witness the event. Both Mueller and Rosenstien have a lot invested in this investigation, I think we'll be hearing from them om the Hill soon.

[Honeycombe8]

21. It makes sense that Rosenstein didn't sign the letter.

Rosenstein wouldn't have signed the letter because the summary letter is required by law to be from the AG to Congress.

[2naSalit]

23. And there's that, too.

But you never know with this crowd.

I suspect that Mueller and Rosentein will be telling it like it is when they go before Congress. It seems to be the only place to get at the truth lately.

[Honeycombe8]

29. I hope so. nt

[dhol82]

19. Yeah, did not get why he was in the mix.

Thought he was one of the good guys.

[PandoraAwakened]

22. Good guy?

You must have missed the footage of Rosenstein at one of the Kavanaughty hearings when, after the hearing was over, he rushed to be one of the first to clap Kavanaugh on the back and clearly mouth the words, "Good job, good job!"

[Honeycombe8]

30. I don't regard that as unethical.

Rosenstein didn't get a vote. But even if he had, he and Kavanaugh were working colleagues going back decades. They were maybe even friends. https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2018/10/01/kavanaugh-fbi-wray-rosenstein-220810

Rosenstein seems to be an ethical establishment Republican. My opinion. Also...let's not forget that when Comey was fired, Rosenstein was ready to go and immediately appointed Mueller as Special Counsel. So he was prepared.

And he hasn't interfered with the Mueller investigation or made public statements supporting Trump against it. He's played it like a straight arrow government man.

[lame54]

31. Plus - the letter...

Rosenstein wrote the letter recommending the firing of Comey

Of course there is no obstruction

[mahannah]

9. It ain't over when the "speaker lady" sings.

[dhol82]

20. Totally!

[INdemo]

10. If you watch or listen to any of the cable news

I think what we will hear tomorrow morning (it's in the corporate script) "Are Democrats overreaching" now that Barr has submitted the summary?

Rosenstein, and Barr, and Mueller are Republicans....

Ken Star was/is a Republican he was going to dig and follow any hint of a lead of any actions Bill Clinton had with White Water and he could never find any illegal activity...This was way beyond the scope of Star's authority so now with Mueller every one is saying that so and so actions is not within the scope of his authority..The media is now pushing that but they sure as hell were silent back in 98'

[rockfordfile]

14. You would hear that anyway.

[watoos]

17. We already heard it.

I listen to 2 people on cable news, Nicolle Wallace and Rachel Maddow, people are wasting their time listening to the other complicit pump handles.

Republicans don't give a shit about playing by the rules, we need a Daniel Ellsberg to release the Mueller report otherwise this will get buried for years in the Nazi courts.

[LuvNewcastle]

27. I'm hoping someone will do it.

Considering how much private shit gets released these days, this shouldn't be too difficult. Somebody on our side must have a copy.

[True Blue American]

25. Ari Melber

Is not doing bad on this. It is clear he thinks Barr is covering up ,uh,er, manure.

[RHMerriman]

26. Indeed...

Pelosi and Schumer have already called out Barr as a quisling.

He won't be the last.

[still_one]

28. I am very thankful she is the speaker, and very happy that those who wanted to oust her got no where

She knows how to play the long game, and the long game is 2020

The smoke is there, and this will have legs of its own. It most likely won't involve impeachment, but it will involve serious doubt in the minds of many, especially independents, regarding trump and the republicans. That along with the Trade Wars, the unravelling of the economy, along with major programs that hurt a lot of people, and how we have become the laughing stock of the world I think will have an impact in 2020 against them

When the middle class looks at their bottom line, and finds out they are much worse off now then before, this will have blowback
