Sunday Overnight Open Thread (12/1/19)
Quote I
"People should just tell the truth: ‘This is the wrong black guy; he has to be destroyed.’ Just say it. Then now we’re at least honest with each other. The idea was to get rid of me. And then, after I was there, it was to undermine me."Associate Justice Clarence Thomas
Quote II
“I don’t want to be PC. For all of us in the stand-up world, all of us are seeing this and feeling this, and it’s a little dangerous and uncomfortable that there [are] things you can’t say because they might hurt people’s feelings.” Tim Allen
Quote III
There is no mosque in America that performs gay marriages.Dave Rubin
Quote IV
“Expressing an opinion does not come at zero cost, but freedom of expression has limits. “Those limits begin where hatred is spread, they begin where the dignity of other people is violated. This house will and must oppose extreme speech otherwise our society will no longer be the free society that it was." German Chancellor Angela Merkel
Quote V
“I tried to find a way that would prevent the president from further involvement while trying all avenues to get Gallagher’s file in front of a peer-review board,”Former Navy Secretary Richard Spencer
Related to Quote II, comedians are facing pressure from SJW. Going to perform an offensive set? Comedian Pete Davidson makes fans sign non-disclosure contract before their entrance to the show.
Guests at Pete Davidson’s latest stand-up show were forced to sign a non-disclosure agreement before attending the performance, The Independent reported. The NDAs barred fans from giving any interviews or posting their opinion of the show on social media, which took place at the Sydney Goldstein Theatre in San Francisco. The legally binding agreement stipulated that audience members were subject to paying $1 million if violated. Those who had purchased tickets were reportedly emailed about the NDAs just a few hours before the show, and were encouraged to “save time at the venue” by printing and signing the documents ahead of time. Customers were told that anyone “unable or unwilling” to sign would not be allowed to enter the the show, and would receive a full refund.There are comedians who offend me. I just ignore them. After all we have the "Freedom of Speech".
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) will fly out Sunday with a large delegation of congressional Democrats heading 3,781 miles across the Atlantic to the United Nations COP25 climate change conference in Madrid. A key element of the conference will seek to place financial penalties on global commercial aviation to stop people flying and making “unnecessary contributions to atmospheric carbon dioxide pollution.” The Pelosi delegation will join almost 25,000 people and 1500 journalists flying into the Spanish capital to attend the meeting.
When "our betters" start behaving like there is a climate crisis I might be concerned. Until then...........
There are different ways to get bounced off of Twitter, just ask CBD or myself. Challenging Rep. Ilhan as a traitor and requesting the death sentence is a sure way to get bounced.
Danielle Stella, a Republican congressional candidate running for Representative Ilhan Omar’s seat in Minnesota, found her “@2020mncongress” account permanently suspended by Twitter after issuing a tweet about potentially hanging Omar for treason. As BizPac Review reported, a Florida court heard that Rep. Omar is a “Qatari asset” who had been recruited by a foreign government to pass along “sensitive information through intermediates to Iran.” It was this story that prompted Stella to tweet: “If it is proven @IlhanMN passed sensitive info to Iran, she should be tried for #treason and hanged.”
A Michigan district court judge was asked by her Catholic priest to not partake in the sacrament of Holy Communion because of the fact that she is married to a woman. Michigan’s 63rd District Court Chief Judge, Sara Smolenski, told CNN that the priest at St. Stephen Catholic Church in Grand Rapids called and asked her to “not come to communion” because of her same sex marriage.
The London Bridge terrorist attack had an ironic ending. Convicted murderer was out on work release when he came upon Usman Khan.
Among members of the public who confronted London Bridge attacker Usman Khan were former prisoners attending a rehabilitation event at Fishmongers’ Hall, including a man convicted of killing a young woman. James Ford, 42, was out on day release when he joined those who chased Khan out on to the street before he was pinned to the ground on Friday afternoon. Ford was jailed for life with a minimum of 15 years in 2004 for the murder of Amanda Champion, who had a mental age of 15. It is thought Ford rushed to the scene and tried to save the life of a female victim of Khan. Sources said his actions during the attack had probably saved lives. But Ms Champion’s family expressed concern that Hall had been allowed on day release from prison without his victims’ relatives being informed in advance.
When a leftie defies a law they are considered progressive and enlightened. What will conservative law enforcement officials be called? Convicts?
Law enforcement also isn’t sure how the system will work if some agencies refuse to implement the law, as some sheriffs have threatened. For example, what happens if Denver police contact a suicidal person who they believe should be the subject of an order but that person — and that person’s guns — are in Weld County, where the sheriff has said he will not enforce the law? “A lot of it we’re just going to be feeling our way through,” Montoya said. The law has earned the scorn of a number of Colorado county sheriffs who said it violates residents’ constitutional right to bear arms and cited fears about false reports leading to gun confiscation. If the sheriffs follow through with their threats to defy the law and judges’ orders, each judge will have to decide how to proceed.
Why does an obnoxious small minority get to screw everything up? Durham, New Hampshire scales back its Christmas festivities.
A small New England town has decided to scale back its annual holiday celebration due to concerns about religion, according to Boston CBS affiliate WBZ-TV. As is common around the country, the town of Durham, New Hampshire, held an annual festival that featured a heavy Christmas theme. As the name would suggest, the event formerly known as the Annual Tree Lighting Ceremony was centered around a formal tree lighting, complete with wreaths hanging on lamp posts and an appearance by Santa Claus on a firetruck.Frost Fest? Why not change your town's name to Pussyville?
This year, the event will be known as the Frost Fest, and the appearance of Santa Claus, albeit without the firetruck, will be the only apparent reference to Christmas.
Hey Libs, why have gun control laws when you won't enforce those laws? The real truth about why gun violence is the way it is in Chicago.H/T Hank Curmudgeon
Two years into an “affordable bail” initiative that is allowing most accused gun offenders and even accused murderers to be released from jail to await trial, Cook County’s chief judge says the program is working fabulously.
“It’s not by magic that we haven’t had any horrible incidents occur using this new [bail] system,” Chief Judge Timothy Evans said during county budget hearings on Nov. 4. There are likely many people who would disagree with Evans’ definition of “horrible incidents” — if they were still alive to do so. • On Feb. 9, Daryl Williams violated the terms of a court-ordered curfew, secured an illegal handgun, and then fatally shot 45-year-old Daniel Smith in the back of the head, prosecutors allege.

VAN BUREN, Maine - During the early evening of Thursday, November 28th, the Van Buren Police Department was dispatched to a residence on St. Francis Avenue, answering a 9-1-1 call from a male reporting that he had been shot. Officer Chandler Madore and the Van Buren Ambulance Service arrived on scene, assisted by the US Border Patrol, and provided emergency medical assistance to the injured man, identified as the homeowner, 65-year-old Ronald Cyr. While on scene, officers discovered that the front door of the residence had been outfitted with a device designed to fire a handgun, should anyone attempt to enter the door. Other unknown devices were also discovered, alarming investigators to contact the Maine State Police Bomb Squad. Following an extensive investigation that lasted into the early morning hours by the Maine State Police, the Maine State Police Bomb Squad and the Van Buren Police Department, it was determined that Cyr had been shot as the result of the unintentional discharge of one of his homemade devices.
As Legal Insurrection readers are aware, President Trump spent his Thanksgiving in Afghanistan serving Thanksgiving dinner to our troops and personally thanking them for their service to our great country. Meanwhile, over at Newsweek, one of their reporters published an article that claimed Trump would spend Thanksgiving “tweeting and golfing.” The internet blew up over what was widely perceived as lazy/inaccurate and even biased reporting. Apparently, Newsweek took notice because they have since let the reporter go.

They say it'll be in early May on PBS, but I don't want their shit.

When I was about 7 years old, my family took me and my oldest sister (who's two years younger than I am; my youngest sister wasn't born yet) to a cabin in the woods, somewhere in Northern California. It was three stories high, brand new and from my 7-year-old perspective, HUGE.
To this day I'd like to find that cabin and see if it can be rented again, but no one can remember exactly where it was. I believe it was either Shasta Lake or Shasta Lake, but alas, the address is long gone lost from my parents' memories.

One of the characteristics of blue cities is that while they scream for more draconian gun laws, they don't bother to enforce the existing gun laws on the books against criminals - prosecuting felons for being in possession of a handgun, for example.
That's because blue city politicians don't particularly care if criminals have firearms - it's law-abiding people with firearms that they hate.

Why didn't Ray Manzarek have a say in this decision about the tire ad, or did he?
After he died, Morrison's future royalties went to his wife Patty, who OD'd a few months after Jim did. She died intestate also (because... of course!). So Morrison's future royalties went to his in-laws... who had always detested him.

When I was just a wee tad, there was a red wooden rocking horse swing hung from an oak branch. That oak tree right out there; that branch there. The hooks in the tree branch are almost all grown over with bark now, but I can still see one.
The rocking horse swing is long gone of course.
And good riddance. The dang thing never swung straight, always tried to veer into the tree trunk, trying to kill me. (At least I wouldn't be going down the cliff in the pic.)
Most of my earliest memories involve unfortunately skewed trajectories.

Watching CBS news Sunday night, for some unknown reason, probably because I left the TV on a while ago and that's what is on now.
They just reported that AAA said that TG travelers increased by 1.6 million this year from last year.
Why would it be such a big increase? All that travel has to be paid for, somehow.
Maybe because so many people have jobs, and others have improved their jobs, or because of increased hours, have overtime money in their bank accounts?
Now who could be responsible for all that additional money in people's pockets?

Oy. While I am not either, I have to admit.... it's true.
Swift writes her own stuff. She also writes songs for a number of other people.
Usually their first tracks, to make their name and get a deal.
People like that awful Ed Sheeran. In his case, he went ahead and poached tracks from others who weren't quite so willing to sell, like the estate of Marvin Gaye.
I know he's not the first to be sued by them, but he won't be the last... artists can't seem to help themselves from lifting his tracks.

Since it is China and India, and some 3rd world countries burning massive coal, wood, and other pollution sources (not the US, where gasses have decreased), I am waiting for their segment on how Western societies are ramping up their war footing to attack said countries.

The first man says "Last minute shopping" in an attempt to make small talk.
The second replies "Yeah. You too?"
The exec says "Yes. I bought my wife this expensive diamond tennis bracelet and a gift card. That way if she doesn't like the bracelet, she can go pick something out herself."
The second says "Yeah, I pretty much did the same thing. I got my wife a new vacuum cleaner and a dildo. If she don't like the vacuum, well...."

China and India together have nearly double the CO2 output of the US and the European Union. Under the terms of the Paris Accords, neither of them have to do a damn thing until 2030.
And if you point this out, environmental organizations will defend China and India.
The point is to have the government take over the economies of the West, of course - "climate change" is just a convient excuse.

From the Portland mayoral candidate's platform:
Prevent right-wing extremists from feeling welcome in Portland. The City should take an earnest and innovative look into all legal avenues to prevent hate groups from crossing state lines in an attempt to commit violence in Portland. Before and after all legal avenues have been exhausted, the full support of the City should be with groups standing up to bigotry.
Leftists in Portland think that the First Amendment doesn't apply if you cross a state line (the northern suburb of Portland is in Washington).
Too bad that the Southern sheriffs facing the civil rights marches in the '60's didn't know that that was a rule.

There's no problem establishing a Jewish congregation that supports gay marriage - but a Muslim mosque that does the same is likely to get physically attacked by their coreligionists.

Namely, a lot of murder and rape of anyone wearing hijab.

I went to the American Museum of Science & Energy in Oak Ridge, Tennessee this last week.
I saw that people there beamed with pride over their little town's contribution to the Manhattan Project, and their later scientific achievements in atomic science and materials technology.
And then I saw their inert B-83 bomb on display (for which they'd manufactured the cores) and I beamed with pride for them, and my country.
I remember when my old man worked at Rocky Flats and the SAC ran operations out of Cheyenne Mountain, and I used to feel the same way about those places.
All of that is gone now, and now it's all California here. Leftist California. No pride, no patriotism. Just California in Colorado.
That's why I want to move to TN. Or somewhere. But not here.

Yep - she's very openly pro-Antifa.
When the people stand up, the mayor should stand with them. The demonization of antifascism is dangerous for democracy. Antifascism in practicality does not look like the black-clad protesters that are often highlighted in the media, but rather moms, teachers, nurses, union members, and other members of society that wish to live in a just world.
She may well win - there are already two cop-haters on the city council, and if she wins, they'll have a majority.
I bought a suburban house close to Portland, in part because of Portland city politics, but I didn't predict how bad Portland city politics would get in less than a decade. When I moved out of Portland, there were no cop-haters on the city council.

It's wintertime, as you can tell
From the lady with the nice rack
There is no cheer, no jingle bells
For the ones who died for oil in Iraq
The three arrive in Florida
And you can tell by what they're wearin'
It's the man and his wife
And their son who they named Barron
Florida, Florida
How could you let them in
When two thousand years ago
There was no room at the inn?

Not Clark County (they're in Washington and have no police authority in Portland) - the two other suburban counties (Washington and Clackamas). The initiating event was the an armed man was barricaded in a house in Portland, and the Portland SWAT team was off training, so Portland asked the Washington County Sheriff SWAT team to come handle it.
The SWAT team killed the armed man, and a Portland jury awarded the family of the armed man more than a million bucks, payable by Washington County.
The sheriff then said eff this - I'm not exposing my deputies to Portland juries. Clackamas County then followed suit.

Well, San Francisco is the test case - terrorist spawn Chesa Boudin becomes the DA on January 6th.
Boudin is not going to enforce property crimes, "minor" violent crimes, and first-time DUIs.
In particular, he is not going to enforce "crimes of poverty" - in other words, if you are a low-income criminal, you will not be prosecuted.
Trump really has unhinged a big chunk of the population in blue cities - you are now getting people elected in these cities who would have been unthinkable just a few years ago.

Met a Thai wildlife biologist studying orangutans in Borneo once. I would never have the patience. To see her subject, she had to stake out a favorite durian tree, in the rain forest. And wait. Not a very pleasant experience. Think she had seen the critter a half-dozen times - which was a big deal - it had become comfortable with her around.

I'd be careful on that prediction. Championship games can always be tricky and Ohio State beat them 38-7 when they played earlier. So I'd expect a closer game.
I'll hope for a blowout though.
I liked seeing that some Michigan fans want to claim Ohio State cheated, but they're the ones untying shoe laces. The only thing the Michigan game lacked was more shots of temper tantrums by Harbaugh.

Cool! Is he in the Pacific Northwest? There are some dedicated Studebaker fans in Washington and Oregon, and a very good parts dealer, too.
Here's the Web address for the Studebaker Drivers Club: http://www.studebakerdriversclub.com/index.asp
They have resource pages, including lists of starting and ending serial numbers and engine numbers for each model year. It's not unusual for old pickups to have pieces and features of several years added onto them, since there was a high degree of interchangeability.

TxMoMeet temps were about right for me, all in all. Warm enough through the day to be warm.
Just enough bite in the air at night, to make the fire pit inviting.
Alas though, like a dolt, I didn't hydrate (or eat) enough through the day, to carry me late into the evening.
And worked my ass off all through the day, while neglecting the drink and calories.
DUH. me.
But it wasn't the temps.
IDEAL temps, are warm trade winds across a summer sea, so that on a beam reach from one island to the next at 3 am, the helm is still comfortable in shorts and a tee shirt.
That said, I'm a happy camper in 20f deer blind on opening day.

Even if you were outside the parish, had you been attending regular services and going to confession at that church, the pastor would have made considerations on your behalf.
Are you being completely truthful here?
I've had all my kids baptized at a parish that was geographically outside from where we lived, but because we attended regular Sunday service, went to confession there and...attended regular church functions, the pastor was fine with baptizing all of my kids. So it seems to me something is missing here.

Personally I don't even think that a "refusal" to baptise is a Problematic. Remember that in Christianity it's not a refusal - it's a delay, at worst. And G-d in His mercy does not toss unbaptised babies into Hell.
I was baptised (Anglican) as an adult myself. I went through RCIA last year, at 29+ years. [This is one of the points where I have sympathy with the Baptists: the kid has her own spiritual race to run and it starts with baptism, which choice she might well prefer to choose herself.]
Anyway Abby really does need to provide more information here before I get into a blast against the Church.

Well, the immediate issue was something large enough to haul a 'gun triggered' weapon. The B-29 existed, but wasn't well-developed, nor could it carry the bomb without substantial modifications.
As an aside, all of the B-29B's were produced at what is still called 'The Bomber Plant' in Marietta Georgia. I lived for years just 1/2 mile off the end of the runway.
The B's rolled off of the line in '45, the bomb had been under development since well before that.

All for it.
Technical questions:
At the moment of release, both the Enola Gay and Bock's Car made hard, descending turns away from the drop-bearing.
What were their airspeeds at release?
How much speed did they lose in the turn?
How much altitude did they lose in the turn?
Did they complete a full 180 degree turn away, before the blast(s)?
How much distance did they put between themselves and the detonation(s)?
And given that those aircrew all seemed to have survived and produced families, it seems "how far" was really "far enough".
In radiation terms, at least.
How much of the blast wave "rocked" either or both of those planes?
And all of the above, with some slight alteration, applies to the pre-drop meteorological B-29s, as well as the Battle Damage Assessment B-29s which followed soon after.
The radiation factors for subsequent mid-and low-level recon aircraft though?
That's the nightmare fuel, right there.

"What's the point of denying a baby or child baptism? What principle is vindicated?"
The principle that infant baptism is for Catholic families in communion with the Church.
As mentioned, baptism is open to Catholics at any time. It's open to Christians at any time. I wasn't baptised in a Catholic communion. The Church didn't water my head a second time. They just had me affirm the Church's dogma for First Communion.
This is not a Church Of Teh Feelz. There is a process here. Two thousand years of it. We need humility in its presence.

There were 2 other planes needing to make an escape pronto - the photo plane and the instrument plane. Weather plane was far ahead of the strike aircraft.
Would not have been much radiation to worry about for subsequent recon aircraft. Wasn't much persistent radiation on the ground, either. Note that 3 weeks after the Nagasaki strike, Sweeney and some of his crew visited the area [unauthorized, on their own]. Flew into nearby airfield, drove into the Urakami Valley [area north of town which was surface zero in their "miss"], and suffered no ill effects.
The official assessment team/scientists were at that moment on ships nearby, awaiting authorization to land.

baptize a baby or child. Whatever the issues of the parents, if you
think baptism means something, you think it would be extended to a baby
or child on demand because they have no control over things like church
attendance or much else.
Posted by: bear with asymmetrical balls - snap into a Slim Jim! at December 02, 2019 12:24 AM (H5knJ)
Baptists dedicate babies to the Lord but baptism happens after a person is old enough to choose to follow Christ. Coming from that tradition, baptizing babies seems alien even though I know lots of Christian traditions do it.

Took the rear cover off. No oil inside, save for dregs. But gears are in nice condition, no indication of them having run dry and overheated. There was a hole punched in the lower part of the cover, with a rubber plug in it. I think it may have been drained, and then plugged before it went into stock somewhere. I cleaned the oil dregs out of the housing with paper towels, and cleaned the cover on the wire wheel, and welded the punched hole closed. Replaced the cover, using silicone gasket maker instead of a gasket. I will let it cure for a day or two before adding oil to the case.
Next step: service the brakes.

Faith is real. Lack of faith is real.
If it does not "work" for you, maybe you need to understand the meaning of "faith" before you discard it or lament it's lack of compassion. Are you in fact, someone of "faith?"
Never assume when talking about faith. Never judge even without faith. Are you without faith?

Would not have been much radiation to worry about for subsequent recon aircraft. Wasn't much persistent radiation on the ground, either. Note that 3 weeks after the Nagasaki strike, Sweeney and some of his crew visited the area [unauthorized, on their own]. Flew into nearby airfield, drove into the Urakami Valley [area north of town which was surface zero in their "miss"], and suffered no ill effects.
The official assessment team/scientists were at that moment on ships nearby, awaiting authorization to land.

Well, once the bomb has been released, any straight-line flight puts miles between the plane and the fireball. Presumably, they would choose a direction that avoided concentrated AA fire. Time spent making a 180 degree turn is too much time spent in proximity to all Hell breaking loose.

Quite an amazing story. The 509th, of course, lived a separate and special existence, so having the stones to just take a few transports and visit Japan [first American forces just tentatively arriving and setting up at the time] may not be that unexpected. But a great story anyway. Recall Sweeney wrote that upon arrival at Atsugi, freshly occupied by the first American forces in Japan, he was told to move his planes out of the way or have them bulldozed. They found a place to park them, hitched a ride downtown, and partied.
What a time.

Answered all of my questions, and illustrated the facts on the ground in a way that most of the history books (of my era) failed to do.
So, I'll follow on with this.
Given the post-detonation "survivability" of the WWII Japan nukes, what might be the modern, even cleaner nuke of similar yield to use in today's hyper-media'd environment?
I'd have far rather nuked Bin Laden's valley redoubt, than to have let him escape into Pakistan, when we knew *exactly* where he was, and when.
And to HELL with "collateral damage".
Same as they thought when the plunged the planes into the towers.
Left to me, I would have paid the Russians to go all Tsar Bomba over Tora Bora, and forgot about it thereafter, forever.

Well, I cannot comment on infant baptism because I have no experience with that but I CAN think of a rational reason a preacher might refuse to dedicate a baby. When a baby is dedicated, the people presenting the baby for dedication, usually the parents, have to promise to raise the child in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. I can imagine circumstances where a preacher knows that the parents have no intention of raising the child in Christ and, so, might refuse their request. I say I can imagine circumstances like that because I do not know if it has ever actually happened. I think parents who are that far away from Christ would not bother to pursue baby dedication in the first place.

In the Nagasaki case, don't recall any AAA either. Biggest problem for Sweeney was fuel. They barely made it to their "bingo" field, Okinawa. Pretty hilarious account of the landing [fired all their flares to clear the runway, notice was taken at the last second by those on the ground, averting disaster]. And the crews had to eat chow there, and not say a word, even as the chatter all around them was about Hiroshima and the Japanese maybe surrendering.

But not actually sure nukes were a good call at Tora Bora [you want to KNOW if you got him]. Actually using your whole menu of options in terms of conventional forces, and maybe in ways showing a bit of confidence, aggression, and anger, might have been the call. The operators on horseback were a good touch, lots of leverage.
A massive airborne assault on key locations, and securing airfields and flying in more muscle, might have been better. *Act* like a superpower that's been back-stabbed by a cockroach. This might have kept "Torabora" an obscure place name by pre-empting the whole thing.

Yeah. Yeah, I am.

The CRs have been going on since 'W', and are only a symptom to the real disease.
The "end of the Republic" should be noted when the tipping point was crossed where the majority went from preferring a Constitutional Republic to a kleptocracy.
A marker for that would be looking at Congress and seeing when plundering the treasury was more important than a functional nation.
I'm of the group that says the Republic ended at the passing of the 16th Amendment - it was when the Republic was forever destroyed. Prior to the 16th Amendment, We the People had a government and the Constitution placed limits on what the government could do. Post 16th, the Government became slave masters and We The People surrendered to be forever treated as chattel.

704 I had to get up early because of the relentless gravy dreaming. Yes, I've been dreaming about gravy all damn night. Roasting bones with onion and garlic, boiling stock, whisking gravy. Beautiful gravy. You should have seen the gravy I made my turkey pot pie with. I used everything I picked from the carcass, having roasted and extracted the goodness from that entire bird one way or another.

"Assistance" almost always includes family members.
Surely the number is a National Security concern and won't be made public. I would count the number of dedicated aircraft and the passenger load for each piece of equipment this mission.

It is an absolute guarantee that the Enemedia will spin it as Trump is plotting to deny healthcare to millions of people.
or Trump wants to prosecute and jail the most needy among us for the crime of seeking medical care.
Because denying even one fraudulent claim is "denial of critical, life-saving health care".

Why not? You think it's just a coincidence that the DOJ, not the defense but the DOJ, asked Judge Sullivan to hold off on moving forward on Flynn's case until after the IG report because they believe much of the information that Flynn's team had asked about will be in that report?

Of course he's wrong about just bout everything so who knows at this point.
Actually Joe D expanded that it was because she had cooperated.
Which is surely wrong.
If there is a criminal referral I am still betting they decline to prosecute modifying a 302 because that would be difficult to get a DC jury to find guilty.

I assume it's ok to freeze. I had about 1 1/2 cups left, and 2 T of turkey fat, so I capped the Mason jar and stuck it in the freezer.
Also cooked down the remnants from the pot roast, pureed the remaining carrot and onion bits, and froze that to use as sauce with hamburger steaks.
I can't wait until I have a proper kitchen (and freezer space).

Will see. Just the other week it was revealed that Durham had expanded his criminal investigation to the DOD ONA. It appears to be James Baker, the guy who was running Stefan Halper.
Don't overestimate what Horowitz' report is all about. He is going to layout what he has found in a detailed and exhaustive fashion. There are rumors that a large cache of documents will also be released to help give context.
Horowitz will give a good overview and accurate recording of what happened but Durham and Barr are where the rubber meets the road. They don't require Horowitz to make a referral to begin a criminal investigation and I don't think Durham is making all these trips to Europe and expanding his investigation here at home for show.
All of the potential targets are talking and building their narratives with the same old CNN, NYT, WaPO, MSNBC, etc. They lied for over three years about Russia collusion so I don't give them any credibility at at all.

______________
There's enormous fraud in Medicaid too. CA alone has hundreds of thousands of ineligible people on it. Then there are the tens of billions of dollars that the IRS pays out in "tax credits" every year to illegal alien filers who don't pay any taxes. And there are the millions of illegal aliens who are receiving food stamps, even though they are not supposed to get them. The amount of money being pissed away in this country every year is staggering.
