Sarah Sanders says Trump's AG will decide whether Comey should be arrested....

What did I say in a previous post that What is to stop AG Barr from ARRESTING Jim Comey and others? This woman is a disgusting excuse for a human being......

This from Think Progress

Sarah Huckabee Sanders says..."We're going to let the attorney general make that determination as he gets to the conclusion of this investigation."

The White House won’t rule out prosecuting President Donald Trump’s adversaries.
During an interview on NBC’s Meet The Press on Sunday, White House press secretary Sarah Sanders said Attorney General William Barr will decide whether former FBI director James Comey could face criminal charges from Trump’s Justice Department.

SOUND the alarm bells. Looks like Tryanny has made a return. Trump enemies...Hillary Clinton, James Clapper, John Brennan, Andrew McCabe, Peter Strozk, and Lisa Page are next....Do not count out those running for President on the Democratic Party side either. Nancy Pelosi and CHuck Schumer could also be in Trump's sights.

fabricated and produced for right wing conspiracy consumption. This feeds the magats and provides material for Hannity, Limbaugh etc., and serving as a distraction from the investigations into Trump. They have no actual crimes to arrest Comey for, but want to capture the value of talking about it as though its a real thing.

And notice that Trump is careful to say that Barr is the one making the decisions, not himself.
This is classic mob boss tactics. Always have someone else to the dirty work so they will take the consequences, not the boss himself.

We are truly moving into dystopian dictatorship which will destroy forever the freedoms Americans have had since the beginning of the country.
I hope Pelosi has something drastic ready to move soon because by the elections next year I'm sure it will be too late and she will probably be in prison.

that was working to bring down his administration. Given how much Trump distrusts the intelligence agencies and how in love he is with his BFF, Vlad, IQ45 has jumped at the chance to destroy the effectiveness of our country's intel apparatus. If I were a CIA asset, I would be looking for a place to hide right now.

And if I were any other country's intel agency, there's no way in hell I would share information with the U.S.

John Brennan, and other Republicans, are eating humble pie while their career prospects and financial gains are in the cross hairs. Mr. Mueller is perhaps a bit "long in the tooth" to take on an adversary as virile as the President he helped to elect? "How does it feel?"

SOUND the alarm bells. Looks like Tryanny has made a return.

The have all testified under oath multiple times. Now Barr has access to the intel they were seeing and will probably get their emails and texts from those days.

Where it could get sticky for them is if they lied to Congress and DOJ interviews them about it. They now have a choice to make, stick with what they have previously testified about or change their story if DOJ has evidence to the contrary. Either way it's a trap.

I don't have any love for any of them, they lied to the public multiple times during the Obama Administration. Comey unraveled as we know, Brennan oversaw the CIA searching Senate computer files when it was under investigation about interrogation techniques (many wanted Obama to fire him in 2014), and Clapper lied to Congress about NSA data collection before the Snowden docs leaked and contradicted that.

I think they are all liars and guilty of something at this point. I don't want Trump to get a PR victory though by proving they were working against him behind the scenes and Barr making a criminal case of it.

For bashing Hillary right before the election?

And what charges for Clinton, Clapper, Brennan? Traitors? Conspiracy with enemies of the U.S.? Lying to the American people? Destroying the environment? Or just because they say bad things about him?

Barr definitely has to go, because he will carry out whatever his master demands.

This will not look good before a judge, who will see it for what it is---petty vengeance. I wish Comey would sue for defamation--think of the evidence that could come out. Make impeachment more palatable.
