Justice Dept. Is Said to Open Criminal Inquiry Into Its Own Russia Investigation

[Winehole23]

Define backfire spectacularly. As in Jeff Flake will write a whining op-ed about Barr?

I wouldn't be surprised if Barr ends up impeached too.

Lol “deep state”

hyperbole for career civil servants

Doesn't mean anything when the senate has his back.

Definitely don't look into Brennan. Bless his atrophied heart...

If Trump goes down, Barr goes down.

That still doesn't looking likely, but it looks somewhat less unlikely than it did two months ago.

I don't paint people with a broad brush, that's more your metier.

Brennan is guilty of doing the same thing Cheney and Rumsfeld did: stovepiping intelligence to exaggerate the level of certainty of the IC. I criticized him for it at the time. Not sure that's a crime, but it is dirty pool.

What do you want to investigate him for and what supports your su ion?

[Winehole23]

He's plausibly connected to Trump's Ukraine shakedown. He could go down for that.

If he's retaliating on Trump's investigators without any good legal predicate, that would be impeachable too.

For what?

For what?

Check the post just above yours.

Would altering Flynn’s 302 be a good legal predicate?

Falsifying official do ents is usually a crime no matter how you cut it.

I'm unfamiliar with the allegation, can you provide color for it?

y'all's bizarro Russiagate conspiracy theory will not be easier to prove than than the other version, but it seems you've already made up your minds before the investigation even started.

Bend over, I'll do some interstate trucking into your deep state.

As opposed to the supposed Russian collusion conspiracy?

Mostly bull , my take from day one til today.

Collusion always seemed unlikely to me, still does. i don't think Trump is Putin's puppet or his pawn.

People who think so are approximately as gullible as bizarro Russiagaters like you.

[Winehole23]

It is perplexing, though, how many Trump associates got caught lying to investigators about such a nothingburger.

Why did they feel the need to?

I'd be more worried about the New York Bar Association if I was Barr.

Looks cir stantial and ambiguous to me, but if Barr can prove it, good on him.
