We are truly f*cked as a country. This day is as bad as, maybe worse than, November 9, 2016.

I believe someone (Barr?) shut down the investigation. All of the references to Individual-1 in previous indictments are now meaningless and the crook and his cronies get off scot free.


We have no choice but to mobilize and register to vote every single person we possibly can for 2020 and hope enough people show up to vote this time to end this travesty.

1. Just stop it. There's absolutely no evidence suggesting anything of the sort.

Barr does not have the power to shut down an OSC investigation; whatever prosecutions are in progress will continue. The House committees will make sure that the report is made public. There are multiple investigations in multiple jurisdictions and the investigation by the Manhattan DA's office can't be interfered with by any federal official, even the president himself.

2. all of this panic and hand wringing

for absolutely nothing

12. This is typical DU.

Every time something big like this comes up, there is the inevitable knee-jerk wailing and gnashing of the teeth without waiting for all of the facts to come in. "Trash this thread" comes in very handy at times like this...

4. The public release of the report is meaningless without more indictments. The NY DA case means zero.

The Repubs in Congress and wide swaths of America will shrug or laugh off any financial or perjury crimes like those which Manafort and Stone have been convicted or charged. There is no way NY state police will arrest or remove 45 from office as he will never be extradited.

5. Not so. Before you work yourself into a completely unnecessary frenzy of despair, please read this:

6. Abramson's track record has not exactly been stellar in recent months.

7. I believe he is correct in this instance.

8. Maybe we should wait to see what the Report says?

Just a thought.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

11. Exactly.

[brooklynite]

13. Why do that when we can panic, rant and speculate?

[Andy823]

14. Exactly

This "hair on fire" attitude of so many here today, reminds of when Obama was in office, and Manny Goldstein and his minions ran around all the time jumping to conclusions and going bonkers cause "doom and gloom" was the only way to react!

People need to just chill out and wait.

3. There's no evidence of what you speak and there may be un-indicted co-conspirators

[nolabear]

9. Sure. Mobilize. But don't gnaw off a limb. We know nothing.

[H2O Man]

10. No.

15. No political event will ever be as bad as Nov. 9 2016.

[Texasgal]

16. Oh good grief..

We are not even close to knowing what will come next. Relax.

17. Gloom, despair and agony
