Monkeys As Judges Of Art
Gabriel von Max

[This has absolutely nothing to do with the coming media frenzy over the Mueller Report. I would never suggest that our noble 4th Estate are, in the main, a bunch of slobbering monkeys who fling poo and chatter nonsense. I have far too much respect for them.]

Posted by: Nevergiveup at April 18, 2019 09:43 AM (bim/x)

75 Kinda late for my sunrise saunter this morning. Sun was already well up.

Last night we had some powerful winds, tornadoes did not form but were possible.

So this morning, as I walked around the big circle, I'm looking at the branches on the ground under the big tree that's almost dead.

We had thought some woodpeckers had been nesting there. I look up to see if their nest area was still okay...

...and I realize I'm looking at the silhouettes of eight huge turkey vultures sitting at the treetop.

One by one, they rise out of the tree, slowly and loudly as if disgruntled by my interrupting them.

If that gang (don't call us a flock!) of big birds had wanted to go all Hitchcock on me, I'd be a mess.

Fortunately "I'm tired of waiting - I'm going to kill something" is just a Far Side caption.

... for now. (Looks apprehensively up as huge shadows go by.)

Barr: Most of the redactions were compelled by the need to prevent harm to ongoing matters and to comply with court orders prohibiting the public disclosure of information bearing upon ongoing investigations and criminal cases, such as the IRA case and the Roger Stone case.

Barr: The President's personal counsel requested and were given the opportunity to read a final version of the redacted report before it was publicly released. That request was consistent with the practice followed under the Ethics in Government Act

Barr: The President's personal lawyers were not permitted to make, and did not request, any redactions.

Barr: We are also committed to working with Congress to accommodate their legitimate oversight interests with respect to the Special Counsel's investigation. We have been consulting with Chairman Graham and Chairman Nadler throughout this process, and we will continue to do so.

Interesting. Keep an eye out for leaks. If the Congress-only version of the report leaks, there may well be something that contradicts the public version or testimony.

If it doesn't leak, if the expressway between the State and the Press mysteriously doesn't pass this piece of traffic, then the Congressional version is almost certainly fully consistent with the public version.

It makes sense in this case. Whenever going up against a Republican - for *decades* - the Left has been able to operate in precisely that mode. In virtually all cases, their opponent has made the stupidest and least self-defensive move possible in response to an attack.

This hasn't been true of their side, of course - in the rare instance when the Left decides to ostracize a fellow leftist they are far more careful. They have gotten fat and lazy when it comes to going after Republicans because until P45 they never had to be anything else for a long time now.

Keep plowing that fowl, guys. Here's the thing with obstruction: there has to be something to obstruct and it's a judgment call kind of crime as opposed to a hard crime with a victim and physical evidence. Mueller didn't find the evidence he was looking for, and his piss-poor partisan judgement told him there may have been collusion. Barr disagrees.

And none of them will mention what a cop out this was. The cops inform the DA if they think there was obstruction and ask for a charge. They don't go over what happened during the investigation and then tell the DA "but it's your call to decide whether or not *you* think there was obstruction." Mueller knows it wouldn't stick in and in a worst case - impeachment, removal, indictment and then prosecution - Trump would be acquitted. If he indicated no obstruction, his side would eat him alive.

So he copped out, made a politically-charged report full of innuendo, and then passed the buck to someone else to keep the heat off. What a shitbag.

I've honestly never seen the type of media meltdown that I'm seeing on CNN. They are so emotionally invested in the storyline that they've been pushing for 2+ years and they know what Mueller did to it and how this will forever reflect on them.

CNN has 8 people talking about this & they all vehemently agree with one another on every last thing. This has been a major part of the problem from the start. All humans are more likely to err or worse if they are insulated from challenge or dissent. It's inherently corrupting:

I'm almost feeling sorry for the CNN panel. They are really hurt and are not even hiding it. Just live up to what you've done.

It's amazing, but not really surprising, that the entire Dem Party and the MSM are going with the Stalinist interpretation of that rule, leaving Trump to defend himself and his actions by citing the time-honored American tradition of individual rights. (Yes, an individual has a right to stand up for himself against the Government)

And the Dems think that this is a political issue that is going to get them votes....

I went to a fancy liberal arts college, but that is basically what I did. I doubled in an academic track, too (history, emphasis on US/Japanese comparative history since 1865), but I was in trade school. I was learning how to produce, direct and edit television content.

Ended up not working in that field for various reasons, but it's more or less how it went for me. It wasn't bad. Being able to hybridize training and education was a decent way to go. If you don't care about that, then just go get the training you need and do it in less time for less money. Some of these are popping up. In Denver, we now have a special-purpose television trade school.

The idiot media doesn't seem to know that you can twist and turn anything into a potential "crime" via legal theory.

Barr said that Mueller's team, ie Weissman did his best to twist facts to create obstruction on an investigation that found no crime to obstruct, but that those theories were a laughable failure. Now the idiots will think that there is a there there.

Let's say you're accused of drug dealing. You are innocent, but that's the charge. And an investigation would clear you.


However, during the investigation you delete banking records and some emails off your computer. Again, you're innocent. I would believe deleting info would be obstruction.

Personally, I believe that were he still alive, Irving Kristol would endorse his friend, and not their pathetic sons. (I recall that Socrates said Pericles's sons didn't amount to much.)

488 Yeah, NBC. I heard the AG. First, Barr said he and Rosenstein disagreed with "some" of the legal theories, but nonetheless litigated them according to that standard.

But, I shouldn't believe my lying ears.

494 By the way, I think CBD is trolling us with this art. I suspect he has been holding onto it for a long time, thinking that he would like to retitle it "The Moron Horde as Judges of Art," but didn't quite have the guts. The press conference this morning provided good cover for him.

495 However, during the investigation you delete banking records and some emails off your computer. Again, you're innocent. I would believe deleting info would be obstruction.

Not saying this is what happened here. But that's the dems view now."

Yes, but - when a party is under investigation, he is given notice to preserve all materials pending the outcome. Therefore deleting them would be violating a specific legal order which had been delivered.

However, if you *suspected* that you were under investigation, but had not been notified, and you chose to destroy all of your records, for whatever reason, then I think you're untouchable.

lesson - don't let any potentially incriminating info hang around until its too late.

It's been a long 2+ years on the Trump-Russia beat for CNN. What a privilege. Our team has been though bombshells, actual bomb threats, weddings, babies, breakups, and literally everything in between. We've all aged tremendously. Tomorrow closes one chapter... and begins another.

_________________

It's not obstruction is no crime has been committed.

Obstruction is an attempt to hinder government officials from discovering or prosecuting evidence of a crime. If there is no crime to be discovered or prosecuted, then deleting innocent emails or banking records isn't a crime.

However, if the records were under subpoena or an order of preservation and you deleted them, that's a different matter. But still not technically obstruction. Violation of a court order.

501 New legal definition:

Obstruction of Justice: any act such as hiring counsel, declaring your innocence publicly and defending your reputation, et al, intended to clear you of wrongdoing.

Example: A college male stands accused of rape. He denies the claim and asks for legal representation. This is obstruction of justice, because if you innocent, you have nothing to fear.

502 "when Barr was first mentioned as AG and people were concerned. It looks like he is delivering the goods, though."Posted by: BeckoningChasm

Guys like diGenova thought Barr would be good, while he thought Sessions/Rosie were failures, company men at best (DeepState/Swamp company).


The question to me is how aggressively Barr will go after the coup (my words). It was not incompetence, it was obstruction of the president, with massive crimes to cover up Hillary crimes, and DeepState crimes.

We hear much more is coming ... that is good, but will it be indictments for a coup (or sedition, or some serious charges) -- or just scolding for "bad behavior"?

Posted by: illiniwek at April 18, 2019 10:57 AM (Cus5s)

503 Barr said even using the Mueller "legal theory", he (and I think he included Rosie) found no obstruction.


Barr also mentioned the context ... "remember Trump came into office and was faced with a never ending assault of accusations." (paraphrased from memory)
