Look what came out of the 2016 GOP clown car.
Could be another doozy.

Right, Hillary's email investigation wasn't either, but it didn't exactly help her image when the findings were that she wouldn't face any indictments but still acted recklessly in using a private email server.
dubya's WH used private email server, deleted several M emails violating Federal Records Act and nobody cared.
Hillary's "recklessness" was
1) Comey violating FBI protocol (no indictment, so no comment, but self-promoting Comey trashed Hillary on live national TV)
and
2) Repugs fabricating outrage to go with 25 years of witch hunting the Clintons
Charles P. Pierce: 'William Barr Did What He Was Hired To Do' and 'Thereby Hangs Upcoming Brawl'
Pierce states that Barr “summarizes the Mueller report in the light most favorable to the administration,” which is not surprising,
in light of the 19 page memo Barr wrote earlier in the year.
Here’s a snip, which gives you the flavor of the entire thing.
Mueller should not be permitted to demand that the President submit to interrogation about alleged obstruction….
under this theory, simply by exercising his Cons utional discretion in a facially-lawful way
— for example, by removing or appointing an official;
using his prosecutorial discretion to give direction on a case;
or using his pardoning power ~
a President can be accused of committing a crime based solely on his subjective state of mind.
this memorandum is a perfect set up for the conclusion Barr reached Sunday in his letter to the Judiciary Committees.
...Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and I have concluded that the evidence developed during the Special Counsel's investigation is not sufficient to establish that the President committed an obstruction-of-justice offense….
In making this determination, we noted that the Special Counsel recognized that "the evidence does not establish that the President was involved in an underlying crime related to Russian election interference," and that,
while not determinative, the absence of such evidence bears upon the President's intent with respect to obstruction.
That’s the set up, and the commentary is vintage Charlie Pierce.For those of us who are Iran-Contra obsessives—and you know who you are out there—this summary carries a similar aroma.
And thereby hangs the upcoming brawl.
Mueller says essentially that he is drawing no conclusions on obstruction of justice.
Meanwhile, Barr—and Rod Rosenstein—are saying that, because
Mueller drew no conclusions, he did in fact draw a conclusion.
The law, as it has been said, is an ass.
There will be insufferable -a-doodle-doo'ing from the usual suspects for the next two years, and we all better get used to it.
I suspect that both Barr and Mueller will get hauled before various congressional committees.
In fact, the basic overriding result of Barr's summary is that the whole matter now has been dumped into the laps of a divided and hyper-partisan Congress
in such a way as to guarantee that the Congress will be more divided and more hyper-partisan than ever before.
The Democratic House will hold hearings and the Republican Senate will yell about Hillary Clinton.
The Internet will be indiscriminately insane for the foreseeable future.
A lot of important people are going to pass the buck around to each other, over and over again, until the country forgets what all the fuss was in the first place.
This should be no surprise, again, because, back in 1992,
when he was George H.W. Bush's AG,
Barr advised that president to pardon
all of the people convicted in Iran-Contra—people
who, unsurprisingly, all could have testified that
Bush's non-involvement was a self-serving lie.
Maybe he'll give this president* the same advice.
Who knows?

Like Kavanaugh, Roberto Gonzalez, Barr is political hack hired, under the guise of legality, to cover up Iran-Contra and Trash.
America is ed and un able,
where any man (corporate-"person")with enough money and power, is above the law,
thanks mostly to the degenerate Repugs and their right wing hate/propaganda industrial complex.
Kock Bros fellator/Freedom Kockus McCarthy is demanding Schiff resign
He should resign. He spread more bull conspiracy theories on TV than any other congressman, and he knew what he was spreading was false. him.
so now Pizza / Q / Seth Rich TSA is against conspiracy bull ?
If Schiff can get past Trump-enabler / feckless Pelosi, we will have some really fun Congressional hearings.
Trash must go before Grand Jury, just like Clinton did.
I'm not a member of congress with access to news interviews shown to 10's of millions of people every day.
Are you familiar with Louie "ISIS camps in Mexico" Gohmert?
Do you think he should resign?
Do you ever stop deflecting? You’re inching closer and closer to just being a shill like boutons that everyone just skips over.
And why are you still posting from this alt?
I'm telling you he's not the worst when it comes to conspiracies.
You can just say you're ignorant about Gohmert. I wouldn't be surprised.
Have you read the report?And why are you still posting from this alt?
Let me see it.
The Russian collusion investigation is over. No one was charged for colluding with Russia. Why are you still posting from this alt?
Have you read the report?
Yes or no.
No.
You said you would stop posting from this alt when the Russian investigation ended. It’s over, yet here you are.
Why are you still posting from this alt?
There's your answer.
I'll accept a redacted report, thanks.
Let me know when you read it.
The Russian collusion investigation is over. You said you’d kill this alt when that happened. You lied, again.
You’re pathetic.
why is it important what account he posts from if you know who he is?
I never said I'd kill this alt. I said I'd go back to my main.
why do you need to lie about every single thing you bring up, TSA?
Explain.
kill, stop using, its all the same to me.
The Russian collusion investigation is over. You said you’d go back to your main when that happened. You haven’t. You lied.
It's not the same.
You lied.
Why do you have to lie about every single thing you post, TSA?
Where's that report?
trump installed a henchman to do what sessions could not/would not do
barr neutered mueller
mueller stopped investigating
mueller did not - or was not allowed to make a conclusion of trumps obstruction that the world saw with their own eyes
since mueller was not allowed to make a determination
barr made the decision
just like trump wanted
now the report will be buried - barr will cite bs reasons why
trump had no issues de-classifying classified info to pursue bogus- strock/page/hrc do ents but now they will cite
”rule of law”
cover up
but russia wins for now
congrats
It’s not important, other than being another Pavlov lie.
of no consequence, assuming the premise is true. and iirc he said once the report is released to the public. not that it matters. because this is a really dumb thing to get hung up on
