There Is No Law In America; Why Should We Be The Only Ones to Pretend There Is?
All nations end. That’s just life. When they tell the story of the breakup of America, having one set of laws for normal people and one set of laws for people in the government club will be part of our breakup story. Nations can’t last like that. https://t.co/rOVCi4PhAB

If the libs like you- and especially if you hate Trump- the law does not apply.

Was true for Hillary, and now we see is true for McCabe.
This makes a mockery of our legal system, and divides the country in irreparable ways pic.twitter.com/D7UHoEWWi6
"Where the hell is the [Durham] report? Where the hell are the indictments? Where the hell are the charges against the politically corrupt Deep State within the Justice Department, the FBI, and why in the hell aren’t we hearing apologies from someone in that rancid, corrupt, department about what they permitted?" he asked.Here's a semi-related thread from John Hayward:
John Hayward
@Doc_0 This "rule of law" talking point is the most absurd example of NeverTrump and Democrat desperation yet. It's the nook-nook they're sucking on to get themselves past the disappointment of Impeachment Theater not only fizzling, but backfiring spectacularly. By any objective standard, Trump is far less of a threat to the "rule of law" than Barack Obama was. In fact, the big reason the anti-Trump circus is squawking about "rule of law" right now is they remember how concerned conservatives were about it during the Obama years. Obama's entire agenda was an all-out attack on the rule of law. When Obamacare crashed and burned, he was out there giving speeches where he told people to just ignore the broken law and promised not to prosecute them for it. If anything, Trump is clearly the target of people who disdain the rule of law, using laws and administrative procedures to sabotage his administration. The proverbial Crazy Hawaiian Judge is the real threat to rule of law, not Trump. Abusive injunctions are a threat. And Trump is clearly on the right side of the biggest single Rule of Law issue there is: immigration, citizenship, sanctuary cities, border defense. The Dems, ALL OF THEM, are sworn enemies of the rule of law and openly promise to undermine it as vigorously as possible. Trump is also on the right side of the second biggest Rule of Law issues, free speech and gun rights. The enemies of those things are the ones declaring open war on the rule of law. The 1st and 2nd Amendment are inextricably linked in defining what the law means and how it rules. And Trump spent most of his first term under attack by one of the worst abuses of the Rule of Law this nation has ever seen, the Russia collusion hoax and its attendant abuses of the FBI, FISA, etc. No one willing to give "the Resistance" and Obama a pass on the Russia hoax can be taken seriously when they talk about the Rule of Law. They're just tossing around loaded political terms without any commitment to what those terms actually mean. Worse, they're perverting the Rule of Law to mean "the rule of the permanent administrative state." The Rule of Law is meaningless, indeed inverted from its true meaning, if there are no laws to bind the administrative state, no accountability, no consequences. Argue the merits of Trump's policies all you want, but let's stop this charade that he's some kind of unique existential threat to the Rule of Law. Every Dem running in 2020 is vastly more of a threat than Trump on his worst day. /end

That's the rub.
The left and the uniparty has built their power around the administrative state and the courts over decades.
Undermining that power is attacking their very ability to make policy in their favor.
This is purely a power struggle versus the constitutionally elected choice of the people and the un-democratic administrative state.
I've chosen a side.

But we're told over and over again, "just you wait and see!" "Justice is coming!" "How dare you get upset and say nothing is going to happen to these people."
But then again we were also told that Republicans in Congress were totally serious about repealing Obamacare, why the House Republicans had voted to repeal it over 40 Times!
Oh and that Lois Lerner getting to retire with her full pension was totally a victory for us as well.

Conservatives need to stop supporting law enforcement. The left already hates them and cheers when they die, so if they lose us too, who do they have left?
Spare me the bullshit about 99% are great and all that. If so, where are the real whistleblowers and people who speak up? They do not exist because they care about their pensions, not the "rule of law" as they lecture us about every fucking day.

LOLGF (to us) on McCabe, who now gets off free as a bird? Does this DOJ mean that Durham also isn't going to prosecute him? Anyone know?
I read this as yet another confirmation of the deep tentacles of the corrupt Dem/DeepState DOJ. With the Roger Stone issues this week + Liu resignation, the DOJ insiders quickly move to completely absolve McCabe. That is, the DOJ insiders are saying F--K YOU to Barr, Trump and 1/2 of the nation in response to this weeks' events.
So, our official law enforcement & justice functions are incapable of holding Dem partisan insiders to account for criminality related directly to the Democratic process itself. LoL, I guess.
I won't hold it against anyone who now concludes that the social contract is broken, and we're now in the post-legal and post-justice era.

164 years was a good run for Republicans. Lincoln, Grant, Harding, Coolidge, Reagan, Trump. Whigs and Federalists also had success but eventually they had to go. Time to dissolve the GOP and start a new party.

Unfortunately this is not true as far as the state and its monopoly on violence is concerned. True in the sense that one should not hold the law in any particular regard though, it is merely the violence presently wielded against you.

2) Number 1) confirms that we are not voting, legislating, or legalizing our way out of this and perhaps we should accept that and start to act accordingly, and finally
3) somebody owes me a sandwich

In my mind, this is closely related to the previous story about Afghanistan. NONE of our kids and grandkids should serve in the military. Since this isn't our country, it's their military.
Jury nullification is the easiest way to get back at these guys, but the state and local police also can fuck up the FBI in a myriad of ways.

They literally have an FBI lawyer dead to rights in falsifying FISA applications, they had this a year ago and they are not prosecuting him.
At this point I really don't understand what Barr/Durham are doing.
What exactly are they investigating?
Barr's DOJ is knocking everything down, all of this is based on IG reports and what ever ancillary investigations went into the IG reports.
There is simply no other investigation avenue for them.
So they are simply spinning their wheels and running out the clock.
This is nauseating.

Month and year please. If not that, then a definitive action as end point.
Because then we will see. Then it is not open ended oh it will happen some time. Then there is a limiting principle.

Yet more of the cargo cult.
They heard us talking about The Rule Of Law effectively, so now they shape the same sounds with their putrid lips in a pathetic approximation of argument, hoping to magically obtain the same powers just by making the same sounds.
It isn't a joke or a punch line:
Reality truly does not matter to these people.

Well, precisely because we are the people the laws 'still work on'.
It's really that simple. The McCabes, Comeys, Brennans, Clintons, the law is not for them.
Hell, the law wasn't for Epstein, until it was, and he didn't live long enough to find out how it would work.
And since all of us know this, the above mentioned, and un-mentioned, are unlikely to receive any legal punishment.
Gee, this is kinda making me feel like an African-American!

Admittedly, I was under the impression that McCabe would simply have his charges tacked on to whatever Durham finds. But that's just a supposition based on the evidence coming out: in reality, no official has taken the MANY crimes against Democrats seriously. Why should Durham? Undercover Huber has more value than his namesake did.
But then, discretion like this makes Rule of Law into such a joke that only faggoty cucks believe it. And it increases social pressure among real Americans, until they're open to solutions that will REALLY get this problem fixed. (Burn the Hamptons, Helicopter Rides, etc). If Trump doesn't land convictions against his enemies, he can either apologize to the Dems or go all out against the entire corrupt American elite. No one would be fooled by half measures.

I'm rather convinced that the Deep State understands that and is counting on it. Because when enough vigilante justice is exercised, they're planning on using that as an excuse to settle business with the unpeople.
Whether it goes the way they expect it to, however... I haven't the slightest idea.
What should really warm various Deep State hearts is the degree to which the institutional DS is willing to sacrifice DS operatives to the vigilante justice that might be coming.

I was never one who believed that the Feds would be arresting their buddies or their political bosses. I do not believe it's going to happen. We were sold the Durham bill of goods when it came to Huber, and that came to a hideous conclusion. I had someone I don't see here anymore, call me all sorts of names, question my intellect and mental status and use all sorts of profanity when I stated that there was nothing in Sessions' or Huber's history to make me believe that McCabe, Comey, etc would be prosecuted.
I don't see anything in Barr or Durham to inspire me with confidence that they will take on the "bad guys". Just as in the case of Hillary, I expect all of this to be swept away as a political difference of opinion.

Dr. No...I just can't quite get into it.
Reading reviews, everyone praises it endlessly, but only as the beginning of a franchise with most of the pieces in place.
The mystery that the movie hinges on is solved within twenty minutes, and we have to go along with Bond continuing to figure it out until he finally meets Dr. No at the end of the film. It has its moments, but I don't think it really succeeds.

One would hope that all/most of Trump's judge appointees will be a lot more conservative/respectful of the rule of law as written, not interpreted IYKWIM, compared to the a$$holes appointed by Obama, but even if they're all Thomas clones, it means nothing without a DoJ willing to prosecute.

You don't have the connections, the money or the proper political opinion to flout the law. You will be jailed and / or executed.
People like to talk about the "straw breaking the camel's back." This last spit in our collective faces proves quite conclusively that there is no straw.
Are we going to march on Capitol Hill and hang people? No.
Are we going to engage in massive civil disobedience, such as refusing to work until Comey is thrown in jail? No.
Are we even going to do so much as protest outside Scankles' house? FUCK NO.
This country needs a full-on, blood in the streets revolution.

Anytime one of my liberal friends asks me why I vote republican and start spouting off republican corruption or abuses of power I tell them the same thing. Republicans are just as corrupt as Democrats, but at LEAST they have their feet held to the fire by the media when they do wrong, as opposed to Democrats who's abuses are continuously swept under the rug. Both parties are foxes guarding the hen house, at least with one set of foxes you bother watching them instead of giving them free reign with no oversight.

Are we going to engage in massive civil disobedience, such as refusing to work until Comey is thrown in jail? No.
Are we even going to do so much as protest outside Scankles' house? FUCK NO.
This country needs a full-on, blood in the streets revolution.

Gandhian resistance only works on people with ethics. It's fun to think about mass revolts, but at the end of the day you just have to be ready to do your part.

Posted by: Mark Andrew Edwards, buy ammo. Yes, you. at February 14, 2020 02:28 PM (l4C/z)
==========
Dr. No...I just can't quite get into it.
Reading reviews, everyone praises it endlessly, but only as the beginning of a franchise with most of the pieces in place.
The mystery that the movie hinges on is solved within twenty minutes, and we have to go along with Bond continuing to figure it out until he finally meets Dr. No at the end of the film. It has its moments, but I don't think it really succeeds.
Posted by: TheJamesMadison, 003 with a License to Kill at February 14, 2020 02:29 PM (q80AH)
It works as a Bond film, meaning to set a tone and template. It's more of a Mileu or character piece rather than a plot-driven film.
We get the exotic Carribean location, a dashing and fearless hero, pretty girls, ruthless killings. It's pure Plup pleasure.
I won't say it's the strongest entry, but...Ursula....Ursula coming up from the sea. That's a revelation moment.
So, to a lesser extent, is seeing the size and scope of the bad guy's lair/plan.

Now that's we're all very annoyed by this stuff, I have something completely irrelevant to share.
My husband-as many know-is a school bus driver. Today he got a hand made came from a 3rd grader:
Dear Mr. Ed, (They've never heard of the show, "Mr Ed" but I have; I laughed)
Thanks for keeping us safe. Thanks for bringing us home. Thanks for being kind. Thank you for the ride to school. Thank you for the clean bus ride you give me. Thanks for being so responsible
for all your passengers. Thanks for saying nice things.
In the big scope of life, this is only a small thing, but words can change someone's day. If you haven't already done it today, tell someone you know that you love and appreciate them. The world will still continue, but as of right now your world is possibly the same as it was before whatever happened with McCabe happened.

Sure, buy ammo or whatever...but join the danged school board already.

And then she just had to share a smooch with Bond at the end, which kinda ruined her for me. She was too awesome to be just another Bond girl. She's easily the best part of that movie.

>>He better be making me a sandwich right now. He owes me one! (not really, just poking)
It might be worth seeing how this plays out before getting to excited one way or the other. All things considered this is a pretty minor aspect of the totality of things McCabe is being investigated for and is not related to Durham. I want McCabe charged with more serious offenses than a process charge to the FBI.
Given that Barr just appointed an outside prosecutor to review the Flynn case it sounds as if he thinks there were problems with the case. Like he never should have been charged problems.
I've said it before and I'll say it again my goal is not for Team US to be as scummy as Comey, McCabe et al. I want a return to the rule of law, one law for everyone.
And given how many times I've already been right and you have been wrong you are way in the hole on the sandwich front.

I think the problem is that Barr et al. still believe that it's best not to lay charges that might have political implications--that is, politically tinged charges in an election year. He and his advisers are still working on the assumption that the whole apparatus of law can be divorced from politics. But the left has devastated that assumption. The law is now just politics by other means, just like Stalin's prosecutors. So yes, rule of law is gone and I say again, if you apply it to me but not to you, how do you expect me to react?

Celebutainer Bill Barr is doing his best imitation of an Attorney General, and is hoping everyone is fooled. Well, we aren't fooled but I honestly don't much care any more. I'm peaceful and against political violence, so I certainly won't start attacking Andrew McCabe, Jim Comey, John Brennan et al as they go about their daily business, but I recognize others may justifiably have differing views.

I was wondering what the event was that made Barr comfortable enough to take off his America First mask and reveal the Deep State mask beneath. Could it be that the primary elections have started and now is the time to start letting everyone off the hook between now and November, with Durham revealing that he's got nothing in early summer as promised, thus torpedoing Trump's re-election?

Well typically you get a civil war at some point. The particular variation we seem to be looking at is "decline of central authority". As the various parts of the country start to increasingly disregard the federal government, you eventually get a crisis or flashpoint where the federal government demonstrates its impotence. From there things begin to proceed rapidly.

And if you've something like a .300 Blackout upper, yeah, for that, too.

In the dark days of the Obama tribulation, I posted a few things that you can do to "Fight the Power", perhaps they can be reviewed again because, They need us much more than we need them.
1 Stop buying stuff
2 Do only what the government directly compels you to do.
3 Pay in cash with a winkwink
4 Cheat the government whenever possible
5 Steal all your entertainment
6 If you know of tax cheating, keep your mouth shut
7 If called to jury, refuse to convict if you think the law unjust
8 Discriminate in all your private dealings, without openly saying so
9 If you see a CoC sticker on a business, go elsewhere
10 Vote against all tax levies, particularly school levies
11 Buy firearms and ammo. It's not simply a just-in-case, it's a good financial investment of small sums when savings are yielding 1/4 of a percent.

You include penalties for not following it. May not need to be a death sentence, butr should be jail time and banned from office forever.

283 I was wondering what the event was that made Barr comfortable enough to take off his America First mask and reveal the Deep State mask beneath. Could it be that the primary elections have started and now is the time to start letting everyone off the hook between now and November, with Durham revealing that he's got nothing in early summer as promised, thus torpedoing Trump's re-election?
Posted by: csmats at February 14, 2020 02:41 PM (X5VFN)
I think Barr and Sessions never had any intention of prosecuting "the political opposition" and they will not do so, unless it's something like a murder they cannot cover up. Even then they'd need photographic proof.

The President needs to call Barr and tell him that in one hour, he wants the guys who signed the letter to brief him and Cippolone, the White House Counsel,
on the details of how they reached their decision about McCabe, and provide examples of similar situations that were and were not prosecuted, with the rationales.
Won't change anything, but Trump can damn well can ask his employees why they reached a specific decision.

Perhaps. I think that was a longer-term play, to justify them taking no action or deliberately losing the case post-Durham due to his "interference."
I suspect this is just a secondary effect. The real effects will be after Durham, when the state prosecutes some small number of the people involved with deliberate incompetence and then claimed they were stymied by the president's loose tongue.

The Civil War was a "political factions divide the country" incident, like the Spanish civil war or British civil war, so not something that necessarily had to happen.
Decline of the central government is more of an inevitable lead up to civil war. Because the country is divided on ideological lines we might have some elements of both, particularly in the form of early large coalitions.

Trump will never be allowed to appoint an AG who will be a threat to the Deep State. The position now exists for the sole purpose of thwarting and managing Trump. That is all.

Ah yes, finally, others are realizing what I've said for years - the Legitimate Avenues of Consequence are closing to us. That will only leave the "illegitimate" ones.
I have abandoned good and evil. That's for my eventual discussion with St. Peter. What I am concerned with is, I want in on what you got. No hard feelings Hillary, all's forgiven. Just let ME transact classified State Dept. bidness on unsecured private email servers and we're all good. Oh, what's that, I can't? Cause I'm not a Clinton, or a woman or a Democrat? Ah, sorry, that doesn't work for me.
1) Jury nullify each and every case brought by the DOJ. They have lost all credibility. If they won't house clean down to the janitor and prosecute the guilty, then ALL GO FREE until they do. The threat of Federal charges will wilt when people know that no jury will convict.
2) If you, lowly serf, were charged by the Feds, they would drop 100+ charges upon you, even if you arguably could only be convicted of 1 or 2, so as to get you to plead to 5 or 6 of them. The threat of financial ruin will force that, as the Feds have all the tax dollars in the world. In light of that, there is no reason to "decline to prosecute" McCabe or Comey, etc. for ANYTHING. Simply throw it on the pile of charges that Barr and the DOJ will drop in #two weeks, yes?
3) Barr's little snipe yesterday would carry more weight if he were in the middle of perp walking people into cells. Right now, he's walking them to CNN anchor desks. So at this point, Trump's tweets only highlight BARR's failure at whipping his subordinates in line.

They call it justice and tell the rest of us 'now hush about there being two rules of law'.

Yeah Cates is throwing another tantrum because he's getting called out big time.
Just like Sessions, Huber, Mueller, FISA, and impeachment.
Look, I want to believe that there will be accountability, but let's face it, DC functions on a "don't rock the boat" foundation. Which is why Trump is so loathed by the GOP lifers.
But sometimes a hack is just a hack. Like Barr, like McMaster, like Kelly, etc. etc.
Trump is NOT 4D chess. He is NOT Sun Tzu. He's a scrapper with decent instincts but a poor judge of character.
This Machiavellian theory is bullshit.
America is limping along to servitude and socialism. Try to enjoy our last hurrah.

Would it help to know that Avenatti got his start working for - wait for it! - the Clintons? Before law school he did campaign oppo research and reported to Rahm Emanuel. He is not some random creepy port lawyer, he is a Clinton-connected dude who was commissioned to take out Trump's SCOTUS nominee.

I am beginning to realize any notion of fairness is an illusion of my own making.
So from this day forward I am no longer going to internalize my personal struggles which usually results in doing what it is right or legal.
My new motto will be " catch me".

Fairness does exist. As does unfairness. As in all things, it takes human volition to achieve either. Everyone in power is all-in on the latter, not the former. Fairness exists, it is just not pursued by anyone.
And as for the last part, yes. There are crimes and there are laws. They are not the same thing. Theft, fraud, unprovoked or non-defensive violence - these things are crimes. Selling an apple without the correct permits - those things are merely laws.
I no longer care about the law. I care much about crime and will not commit crime, but the law? What law?
Indeed. Catch me.

Why? Barr does not want the FBI DOJ dirty laundry out in public.
He is more worried about the 'reputation' of those entities, then the actual rule of law.
No WAY this happened without Barr signing off on it, and no WAY the 'timing' of his comments about Trump tweeting yesterday was a coincidence.

You'll get an outright and total tyranny, or you'll get violent pushback. But it will be one or the other. The masks, and the gloves, are off. This corrupt sewer of a government won't be restrained by words and laws and shit like that... this, they've made abundantly clear.

During the Greek revolution, the rule of law was lost and replaced by the rule of the military authority.
Not long after that, tax avoidance became a national pass time. It became so bad, that during the most recent Euro crisis, Greece had to be bailed out because they could collect enough taxes to run the country.
Personally, I have lost any feeling of patriotic or moral obligation to pay taxes. I will of course pay the taxes that they have documentary evidence through withholding or 1099-Rs. But beyond that, the social contract is finished.

on the details of how they reached their decision about McCabe, and provide examples of similar situations that were and were not prosecuted, with the rationales.
Won't change anything, but Trump can damn well can ask his employees why they reached a specific decision.

I think Trump went there already early on. And the response, even by his appointees was along the lines,
"With all do respect Mr President, you are not a real member of the Party, you are an accident. Someday you will no longer be President. Could be next week... could be next year... whatever. You will be gone and we will still be here. Good day."
Yeah, something like that.... or they just said LOLGF and never showed.

Ain't gonna be no civil war. Buying ammo is a good idea regardless - if you can afford to, and have things to feed with it, for fun and giggles and eatin' and if you carry.
I'm selling ammo, over-stocked in some areas. And making ammo, about to do my first 45 Colt.
Americans have shown they're really more like Russians or Euros or others - enough of them anyway - and will put up with just about anything (as long as it doesn't specifically immediately concretely hurt *them* - and even then .....).
Many on this board are the Bundy Ranch, but most of America is pretty comfortable, safe, prosperous, and uninterested in rocking the boat.

Trump has been fighting to stay in office since he got there. He did not know who he could trust. He was betrayed by as many of those he hired as he was supported by. He has Hawaiian judges, congress, and impeachment. He has not been in a position to have the confidence in his team that he needs to counter and root out the coup plotters.
He and his team have authority but are likely a minority by far in the government. It is going to take time for them to figure out how to proceed with the investigation.
This not so much an investigation as it is rolling up a spy net in ww2.
I do not know how long it is going to take. I do not know if we are getting played.

This is going to be something that relies upon traitors ratting each other out.
He and his team have authority but are likely a minority by far in the government. It is going to take time for them to figure out how to proceed with the investigation.
This not so much an investigation as it is rolling up a spy net in ww2.

Of course not. But there was a lot of anger when Cohen was indicted and I agree, this is an equivalent step. And it does indicated that hard core Democrat operatives are not always given a free pass by the DOJ.
The standard of justice won't be restored unless Durham and Barr do the right things with the big stuff, this is only a step. Much like appointing an outside prosecutor to see what really happened with the Flynn case.

We have now seen Failure Theatre move from the legislative arena (if we only had 100 Senators and 435 Congress critters) move to the new play which now the executive department.
We can't prosecute the protected class; end wars; eliminate unconstitutional IC searches; get rid of personnel breaking agency policies; end leaks; remove Obama's proteges in office; make bureaucrats follow the law; remove insubordinate military folks from the NSC; and so on.
By the Constitution, President Trump is the head of the executive branch and Wray and Barr are mere subordinates by legislation from Congress, their minions rate no mention in the Constitution at all.
What we have essentially adopted are secret amendments where the text does not fit the circumstances of today. Thus, equal protection of the laws is a mockery and the rule of law is dependent on being from the political class which is part of our new aristocracy.

Agreed. Look at Virginia. I used to live there, and let me tell you the sheer volume of Fudds is amazing. These fat sacks of shit would bloviate "Oh it won't happen here" and "Virginia Democrats aren't bad, they know better than to go with gun control."
So they sit on their asses until a Presidential general election and ignore local and state races. But when Democrats acted like CoonMen Democrats, suddenly they pick up their never-fired Wilson Combat AR and head down to Richmond in tac vests and 5-11 cargo pants.
They fucking deserve it. Me? I saw the writing on the wall and high-tailed it to a Blood Red State. I voted Gillespie, for all the good it did, even though I hate him.

So any criminal charges against McCabe will have to be from another theory of criminality.
Anyone care to elucidate what that would/could be?
Thought so.
There is no operational theory of criminality other than that which was explicated upon in the IG report.
So, ipso facto, Barr/Durham's investigation is bullshit.

Good post.
I'd add that in spite of all this travesty of "justice" and Blatantly corrupt incompetent government , we are indeed more comfortable than any other generation in human history, and giving that up is a big deal.
Further getting to the point of civil war seems to me to require at least a significant level of local coordination, and our current civilization discourages daily interaction with our neighbors, thus it is really hard to count on your neighbors when you rarely see them, much less actually have a meaningful discussion with them!

The rationale I hear for people not going after the Astros' title and batting championships etc. is "well they won a whole lot of games, who's to say they wouldn't have done it all without the cheating"?
Thing is, we'll never know. But consider, they didn't need a WAR of -15 during the regular season, they only needed a WAR of -1 in the 2017 ALCS, which was won by Houston over NY in 7-games.
And Houston won the first 2-games, at home, by 1-run each.
Just saying.

Good post.
I'd add that in spite of all this travesty of "justice" and Blatantly corrupt incompetent government , we are indeed more comfortable than any other generation in human history, and giving that up is a big deal.
Further getting to the point of civil war seems to me to require at least a significant level of local coordination, and our current civilization discourages daily interaction with our neighbors, thus it is really hard to count on your neighbors when you rarely see them, much less actually have a meaningful discussion with them!

Also, the people most currently despised by the Governmental Apparatus are mostly individualists, and don't particularly like organizing.

At least somebody is going to federal prison for something. But McCabe should be in an adjoining cell. And Comey, Brennan, and the others should be as well.

I'd like to know why the DOJ is sending a letter to a subject of an investigation and formally telling him that the Govt. considers the matter closed. Is this standard procedure?
I would think that they just wouldn't charge him or seat a grand jury. I'm not sure why the DOJ is sending out courtesy letters.

Look people. As recently as 2008 the Democrats held the House and a super majority in the Senate. They held the presidency. We were looking at a SCOTUS potentially going Left for however many decades. We were still stuck in various shitholes around the globe with no end in sight. The economy sucked. The border was wide open with catch and release the law of the land. Addressing shitty trade deals via economic warfare was off limits. Nobody had even identified the Deep State let alone got around to choke slamming it.

DocJ, now watch it, soon others will be telling us to "get a room".
But on the topic, I'm not criticizing or denouncing what I think to be the bulk of the populace that isn't anywhere close to rising up. Well not exactly. Just trying to describe it.
Not really a county in many ways. Outrageous, indefensible nonsense occurs (O-care, sanctuary) that has tremendous practical consequences for millions.
There is no press, so, crickets there.
But beyond that, there's very little. 2010 was a revolt. Impressive. But it fizzled/was co-opted/fell to truly amazing amounts of bad-faith and small (character) elected leaders.
Millions were devastated by O-care (an out-of-the blue outrage that destroyed the finances of millions of households and small businesses), but it's as though it never happened ("didn't affect me much").
Sanctuary produces bodies, rape and molestation and assault victims *every day of the week*. Surveys show - surprise! - it's wildly unpopular. So? Not a single congressional primary or general election has turned on the issue. A president who owes his existence to the set of issues of which it's a big part has been unable/unwilling to do almost anything about it.
Francis Bacon said "prosperity doth best discover vice". In this case, the success (material, overall) of American society understandably has produced a set of frogs who are particularly slow to react to that warming water.

It would appear so. I wasn't really sure about him. I have been saying that any possible prosecution of that particular fuckstick would hinge on how well the DoJ and IC had siloed him.
Was he intimately involved in planning? Can he implicate any intelligence chieftains? If yes, he's not possible to prosecute.
Or, was he a button-man who was kept at arm's length in anticipation of a possible need for a patsy? If yes, then prosecution is conceivable, if not probable.
I suppose that question's not answered now, but it seems to point toward #1.

Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses ...

Using high-def cameras and an analytics team in your back office to steal them in real time? A whole lot less so
How's that different from a guy in the game stealing a sign then transmitting it to your batter with signals? And how do you know nobody else was doing this obvious thing with modern technology, since they let everyone have their damned smartphone in the dugout now??
I don't like what the Astros did but this is like claiming Canseco was the ONLY guy who took 'roids. The reaction is a ridiculous pile-on, and I think a good deal of it is "THEY BEAT MY TEAM!!!"

These were not little skirmishes, these were major battles that were never engaged and lost by forfeit. Embarrassing, but Barr has no honor.

I think Trump's plan of spreading the different government agencies throughout the country instead of having them centralized in Washington DC is one of the best things Trump has done. It is also getting very little attention and thus can get a lot more done with protest only coming from the far left agents forced to move out of DC if they want to keep their jobs.

So how much has been rolled back that once the democrats get back in charge, because they will, isn't going to be not only reimplemented but doubled down on so hard. And then once Republicans get back in power won't do a god damned thing to roll back?
The future is always uncertain. It requires our vigilance. But I'm sensing a cultural shift that speaks to optimism. The Trump era has been quite a thing to help undermine the secular dogmatism of the Left on economic and even cultural issues. I have more faith in the coming years than I've had in the past. It's going to be a battle for certain. But that was always evident.

It's easy to forget, but in the early stages of the coup McCabe was acting FBI director. He IS the big fish, even if not the largest. This speaks for itself. The bottom line is, even than nothing happening, those involved in the coup will be richly rewarded and those who support Trump will be oppressed.

I'm sure plenty of other teams did it. But the Astros (and, likely, Red Sox) got caught. Period.
But that's just it: if this is such a shocking and horrible atrocity we all should spit on the Astros for, call for them to lose their world series title, and have pitchers "drill" their batters at the plate over, for people to lose their jobs over, etc...
... why isn't EVERY team being nailed? You are almost certainly right that other teams did it. That's why I get annoyed at the Astros hate. Not because I think it was okay and love the Astros, but because it hypocritical bullcrap for other guys in baseball to act like they never did anything.

Welp.
I suppose we're going to have to depend on the Epstein Clarity Test-
to see if this is all part of some grand prosecution of bigger fish or just a big ole circle jerk.
If McCabe "commits suicide", then we can be sure that he was a danger to the Deep State and Clinton/Obama.
If McCabe prances around in a bright pink jockstrap and a propeller beanie in front of the White House, slapping his ass and snapping his fingers to "Relax" by Frankie Gioes to Hollywood,
then we can be sure that this there is no equal justice and that America is stone-cold dead.

McCabe was nothing, just another mewling bureacrat, a footsoldier in the army of the corrupt. He's out of office and although we want vengeance, what happens to him means little in the big picture. Now Brennan, that's a big fish.
And nobody her has been watching the Avenatti trial this week except me, I think. I felt that when he refused to testify in his own defense, it was going to go badly for him. And this was just the warmup trial, the BIG trial starts in May.
Avenatti, at least, is going to spend the rest of his life in Federal Prison.

I'd like to know why the DOJ is sending a letter to a subject of an investigation and formally telling him that the Govt. considers the matter closed. Is this standard procedure?
I would think that they just wouldn't charge him or seat a grand jury. I'm not sure why the DOJ is sending out courtesy letters.
Posted by: Orson at February 14, 2020 03:12 PM (7VsRR)
As a former fish in the Fed sea I think you are onto something.
No mater what does happen THIS situation tells moi that nothing like what OUGHT to happen will happen.
Grand juries--which DiGenova and and his wife have been Yelling about and begging for-- are the only federal reality that is worth taking notice of.
They--the internal masters at the DOJ-- are rationalizing federal crime as mistakes.
There is no honest effort at presenting the facts to a Grand Jury...except for that Super Secret Durham Thingy.
My ass.

We KNOW he was guilty of leaking to the press. We KNOW he lied to federal officers and under oath repeatedly. We watched him do it in real time to congress.

But they got caught. You can't overlook that. It's just like Brady and the Patriots with deflate-gate. Everyone knows that every single starting QB in the NFL tweaks the footballs the way THEY want them. But someone squealed on Tom Terrific and they got caught.

Maybe. He could have walked, too. There's at least some tattered semblance of justice out there that he got nailed, and pretty fast. And there are still more cases to be tried on this turd.
And while it is uncharitable, I love how this makes toads like Stelter look.

If McCabe prances around in a bright pink jockstrap and a propeller
beanie in front of the White House, slapping his ass and snapping his
fingers to "Relax" by Frankie Gioes to Hollywood,
then we can be sure that this there is no equal justice and that America is stone-cold dead.
You misspelled getting multi-million-dollar book deals and a very lucrative gig on PROGDA spouting his propaganda to the imbecile masses.

We KNOW he was guilty of leaking to the press. We KNOW he lied to federal officers and under oath repeatedly. We watched him do it in real time to congress.
That's just it: it's an open-and-shut case; you cannot have an easier prosecution than this one, short of a guilty plea/signed confession. If they're not up to prosecuting this, they're not going to prosecute something far more complicated. This is a defeat, plain and simple.

It would run counter to all commonsense suggested by the pace and

would also run counter to everything I have ever perceived about
government, and corruption, and crime, and criminal organizations.
So as Rush would say, my "intelligence guided by my experience" points me toward "coverup and blow-off."
Same here. But since the nation has been dumbed-down by skoolz for the past few decades, you'd have a hard time even finding anyone who thinks there's something wrong with all that's going on in DC. Half of the voting populace can't even name the VP.

Because Rico was loyal to her and she dumped him for the first pretty face that came along. Rico didn't consider Dizz as a potential partner until he got unceremoniously dumped.
Carmen was a bitch in Starship Troopers, and Verhoeven chalked it up to American prudishness.

Oh no, she didn't dump him for a pretty face. She dumped him to pursue her career. AND THEN proceeded to fall for a new guy, and flirt hardcore with him. They cut a bunch of scenes where she talked about her romantic conflict.

The Julie Swetnick lie was annoying, but that was nanny nanny boo boo stuff. Wait until May, when he faces charges of intentionally defrauding the IRS for over $1,000,000. As well as stealing several times that amount from his clients.
I'm telling you, Avenatti is coming out of that one with 20 - 40 years tacked on to whatever sentence he gets from this Nike idiocy. I'm not kidding when I say he's gonna be a lifer.

>>Your faith in "the system" is admirable.
I have no faith in any system. I have in some people. I trust Trump and I trust Barr. The idea that Barr is some deep state plant seems like a pretty big stretch.
If he is part of the deep state then why did he appoint Durham? Why did he go against Mueller on all 10 potential obstruction charges? Why did he just appoint another outside of DC prosecutor to review the Flynn case? Why did he step in to reduce the Stone charges and create turmoil at the DOJ to the point where many Dems are calling for him to resign or be impeached?
This is just one charge and a fairly minor one. We have a long way to go and if history is any guide there are a lot more twists and turns to come.

558, Rhomboid, bad economic times are not a prerequisite for civil war or revolution. For example, the 1850's were good economically and the end of the French and Indian War was also quite good economically in the colonies.
There is a common myth, probably because of the French Revolution, that revolts occur over sheer deprivation--then we see places such as N. Korea, Venezuela, etc. of ultimate deprivation and little evidence of revolt.
What is critical is that the ruling classes of society are thoroughly discredited so that the common people are no longer willing to support their rule.
The split in the Democrat party occurred because the Southern Dems believed that the N. Dems were not sufficiently favorable toward slavery and its spread which probably cost the Stephen Douglas the presidency (or some other Dem. nominee). The split occurred, in part, because Dred Scott more or less killed S. Douglass's popular sovereignty compromise.
In the American Revolution, the Boston Massacre and Tea Party coupled with the British punishment of Mass when coupled with Gov. Dunmore's actions in VA, pretty much persuaded the colonial elites who were being locked out of the ruling class by the Brits to support independence. British rule by stupid administrators and Parliament discredited the ruling class in England for Americans which is why Dickinson lost the fight on Independency in Congress.
WWI killed the support for the Czar by the sheer incompetence of the generals and his civil administration.
And so on. An economic collapse alone does not do the trick--what appears to be universal is that the ruling class is discredited and the general population fears more degradation either through incompetence or malice from the ruling class. Alternatives seem to also add fuel to the fire--e.g. existing regional governments or existing "nations" in the demographic but not governing sense.
Class based fights can also occur such as the French and Russian revolutions where the nobility were despised for their wealth and oppression of the peasants and serfs. Add dissatisfied urban mobs, and the torch is lit.

Of course it's true and of course McCabe is a criminal, but my wish casting theories about how justice is coming and presenting my desire as fact will not make Barr, Huber, Sessions, Rosenstein and their ilk into honest men. My high hopes do not translate into prosecutions, nor do anyone else's. Some people write about the inevitability of justice because they believe in Justice and that it is good and right. This does not make Barr "good and right" any more than it made Huber pursue Hillary.
I do not know what they are getting, but I o know they don't give a fuck about how it appears to our side. The left will present it as a "debunking" of yet another conspiracy theory. I mean if Barr actually had evidence, he'd have prosecuted.

732, Jackstraw,
Barr could simply be an institutionalist and Trump wanted the Mueller investigation gone. Thus, Barr ends Mueller's charade and Barr then mumbles and pretends an investigation into the wrongdoing by going through the motions to clean up the Deep State.
Barr could end a lot of this by simply declassifying material and letting the chips fall where they may. But that would more or less destroy the DOJ and FBI as institutions for the foreseeable future.
I see him as trying to protect the institutions and their powers while delivering a mild rebuke to the Deep State for pushing things too far. He is grey, not a villain, but not a hero either.

RE: jury nullification. I'm pretty much with ATC on this except have a different approach which may or may not satisfy Vic.
The good character or truthfulness of FBI witnesses or the accuracy of their 302 on material points will not be presumed. There is no rule granting such a presumption. The State will need to introduce evidence in support of that premise. If the State fails to do that, the State has not proven its case beyond a reasonable doubt and the defendant will be acquitted. I will have satisfied my oath as a juror.

Let me add: In addition to the rule of law trope, I want to dispose of the 99% trope. Hannity does this all the time: "I'm not talking about the 99% who do their jobs honestly and faithfully to protect us." That's nonsense. The whole system is rotten.
Through a myriad of procedures, protocols, policies, guidelines, regulations, rules, laws, judicial doctrines, traditions, customs and habits, it appears designed to protect all its members against accountability. McCabe, Comey, Strzok, Page, Mueller, Weissmann, Ohr, Carlin, Clinesmith, Rosenstein, Rybicki, Baker, Yates, Lynch -- the list goes on and on and on -- all took advantage of that protective web to rig an election and engineer a coup d'etat. And those who remain behind, whether good or bad or indifferent, are completely unwilling to cut through the web and hold these malefactors accountable.
