Did AG Barr get blindsided by Chief Judge Howell?

[Budi]

There's this possibility, for the sake of coincidence:

1. Well, yes, I believe he did!

[Budi]

2. Your move Mr Barr.

Guess that might prompt a fast dash to the White House.

I read that Barr met with Meadows.

Ahhh! Maybe the mystery name is, MEADOWS!!

Omg, this is crazy.

LOL...

[Captain Zero]

3. Maybe the mystery name is BARR

It was a very short one word redaction from what I saw. Not a long name.

Maybe Barr is Billy the Bagman ?

4. Lots of redactions. Wow.

Interesting read.

10. Because it questions admission to the bar, it seems like Giuliani would be the target, since

he's not a member in good standing of the bar, as I remember it. And I've wondered if it was Lev and Igor, or Rick Gates (who is also well connected to the mob---nephew of mob boss). Or all 3.

11. Four names in the opening lines. The assertion that 2 names were not registered lobbyists.

And case law stating attorney-client privilege did not apply. Giuliani could be one for sure.

15. Pages 4-11 were particularly edifying!

[58Sunliner]

16. They would be if they weren't completely redacted!

I do hope we see the whole document.

[11 Bravo]

17. Ummm, yeah. That was kind of the point.

5. Rt! Whoa! Not everyone is interested

trump's version of Cosa Nostra getting Away with it.

7. The clue is in the wording

My money is on Harvey Weinstein
Key phrase is “...reprieve of sentence”

[Mike 03]

8. You might be on the right track. Yesterday I was only thinking

about people in the Trump circle.

It could be some high profile figure who has nothing to do with Trump, in keeping with his pardon of Michael Milken.

Like a Bernie Madoff or a Bill Cosby or someone involved in one of the big corporate scandals like Worldcom or Enron? Or maybe someone convicted in a Big Pharma scandal...

I sure would like to know.

9. Trump's fellow-rapist Weinstein is in a New York state prison, for crimes committed there.

45 can only pardon Federal crimes.

[cantfixstupid]

12. You are quite correct

The plot sickens

[FSogol]

13. Did he Dis Barr?

I hope that happens.

14. Presidential pardons can't be granted in cases of impeachment. We need the Senate.

[ . . . ] he shall have power to grant reprieves and pardons for offenses against the United States, except in cases of impeachment.
