I can only do so much happy talk. Irish_Dem Nov 2022 #1

Agreed. . . nt Bernardo de La Paz Nov 2022 #2

thank you. barbtries Nov 2022 #29

:) Data based? Yeah, but how "data based" are the emotional responses Hortensis Nov 2022 #56

So well said. K&R. n/t OneGrassRoot Nov 2022 #3

Thank you, you are kind. . . . nt Bernardo de La Paz Nov 2022 #10

Seems like Trump is really pissed. That's good enough for me Walleye Nov 2022 #4

The Problem, Sir, Has Been Put Very Well By Mr. Charles Pierce.... The Magistrate Nov 2022 #5

Pierce deserves respect, but I think Garland was required to appoint a Special Counsel. Hermit-The-Prog Nov 2022 #8

To the second point, quite right. Just A Box Of Rain Nov 2022 #14

Please link to where the DOJ former9thward Nov 2022 #25

It can be inferred by the DOJ policy that requires the appointment of an SC in such circumsances. Just A Box Of Rain Nov 2022 #37

You are creating that out of thin air. former9thward Nov 2022 #41

Quite to the contrary. Just A Box Of Rain Nov 2022 #45

Nope. former9thward Nov 2022 #47

The "circumstances" have changed due to announcements by TBL and indications Just A Box Of Rain Nov 2022 #52

Garland undoubtedly has determined, but would not say if he has. He has not said tRump is cleared Bernardo de La Paz Nov 2022 #53

They can't because there is no link. Nothing but opinions. Autumn Nov 2022 #72

Sure. Emphasis on "seems". But I think it is other than "shielding from Fox and hysterics" Bernardo de La Paz Nov 2022 #9

You could have said the exact same thing about Robert Mueller's investigation. Yavin4 Nov 2022 #20

Barr barred Mueller from indicting tRump then Congress (Republicans) didn't do their job Bernardo de La Paz Nov 2022 #22

Has the complete Mueller Report ever been released? Since that POS Barr left? Autumn Nov 2022 #26

One really wonders why that wasn't released immediately. FoxNewsSucks Nov 2022 #34

Was it ever released? If it was I missed it. Autumn Nov 2022 #36

It wasn't. Only the Barr-censored version has been seen. FoxNewsSucks Nov 2022 #44

Which means to me the DOJ is protecting Barr and his cover-up of Trump. Autumn Nov 2022 #51

Means to me DoJ is protecting ONGOING investigation of tRump Bernardo de La Paz Nov 2022 #55

Obviously you and I see very different things. Appearing before the Jan 6 committee Autumn Nov 2022 #59

Yes, there is much more than the J6 committee; J6 committee has nothing to do with this thread Bernardo de La Paz Nov 2022 #64

Bill Barr was too smart to do anything illegal. Remember, he resigned BEFORE Jan 6 Bernardo de La Paz Nov 2022 #65

Nothing has changed about that SOB since IC. He got away with his shit then and it looks to me Autumn Nov 2022 #66

The leading hypothesis is that it contains info about ongoing investigations Bernardo de La Paz Nov 2022 #48

It Is Not Just In Comedy, Sir, That Timing Is Everything The Magistrate Nov 2022 #40

Yes. Hence my reasoning that it is not about evading shrieks of 'partisan witch-hunt'. . . .nt Bernardo de La Paz Nov 2022 #46

We Shall See, Sir The Magistrate Nov 2022 #49

We have no other option but waiting. Garland is immune to social media / talking head noise Bernardo de La Paz Nov 2022 #50

It seems like a reactive move, not a proactive one Blues Heron Nov 2022 #6

I agree with your post prodigitalson Nov 2022 #7

Good point. . . . nt Bernardo de La Paz Nov 2022 #11

keep in mind he is likely fighting a rear guard battle against the left behind. mopinko Nov 2022 #12

Whatever Garland is doing to keep a clean, tight, house is working. We hear nothing Bernardo de La Paz Nov 2022 #15

i didnt. he's getting it done, but it has to be an extreme distraction. mopinko Nov 2022 #19

This is the most complex criminal investigation in history. Thunderbeast Nov 2022 #13

+1. All of it. . . . nt Bernardo de La Paz Nov 2022 #16

I've never understood the need to control people 48656c6c6f20 Nov 2022 #17

There is a small contingent of those who partake in this kind of behavior here: demmiblue Nov 2022 #18

Definitely. And as a mess-maker, they seem to like following me around. FoxNewsSucks Nov 2022 #33

What are you referring to? There is no issue of control in this thread. . . . nt Bernardo de La Paz Nov 2022 #23

This isn't the only thread there is on this issue. Autumn Nov 2022 #24

Sure. I'm not responsible for other threads, nor do I have any "control". . . . nt Bernardo de La Paz Nov 2022 #31

LOL. Not for lack of trying. Orrex Nov 2022 #70

THANK YOU Skittles Nov 2022 #71

After the Robert Mueller experience, I do not have faith that our justice system will ever prosecute Yavin4 Nov 2022 #21

You got mad because people dismissed wildly speculative fan fiction Sympthsical Nov 2022 #27

That is not what prompted this thread. Fitzmas was a lack of indictment. Speakership is different.nt Bernardo de La Paz Nov 2022 #28

I'm not mad. Wasn't the OP clear enough for you that I was advising an even keel? Bernardo de La Paz Nov 2022 #30

Slapping hands for not believing in a ridiculous cloud castle isn't an even keel Sympthsical Nov 2022 #38

This thread is not about that thread. I don't know why I have to repeat that. . . . nt Bernardo de La Paz Nov 2022 #42

TYVM, Bernardo Hekate Nov 2022 #32

You made me laugh -- I guess I deserved that, whatever it was. Thank you very much.... Hekate Nov 2022 #39

You Are Very Welcome Hekate Also Bernardo de La Paz Nov 2022 #43

:) Good post. Cooler, calmer eyes tend to come with age and experience. Hortensis Nov 2022 #57

Thanks. Positivists live longer and (or because) they enjoy life more Bernardo de La Paz Nov 2022 #61

We're lucky to have people so eager to tell us how to think and react Orrex Nov 2022 #58

Fitzmas brings me back! intheflow Nov 2022 #60

Thank you! . . . nt Bernardo de La Paz Nov 2022 #63

In the footrace between due process and those that are criming Mr. Ected Nov 2022 #62

What's this thread about? What's Fitzmas? nt LAS14 Nov 2022 #67

From the "gift" of indictments that prosecutor Fitzgerald was highly anticipated to deliver Bernardo de La Paz Nov 2022 #68

Thanks. The depth of DU historical knowledge never ceases to impress. nt LAS14 Nov 2022 #69
