Becoming clear why Schiff dropped the transcripts last night

[sunonmars]

Link to tweet

Was no coincidence. He wants there to be numerous Trump employees and officials all pretty clear on record saying Flynn lied and coerced.

[FarPoint]

1. I am just overwhelmed...

The blatantly abusive disregard of the Rule of Law by an US Attorney General sends a wave of futility in my brain.

I don't think there will be a valid election in November 2020...

[sunonmars]

2. Thinks its bad now, watch this

Link to tweet

He's just getting started, this bastard is hellbent on turning the US into nazi germany.

[Hortensis]

3. Wow to that last, but every day now they're blatant. nt

[FarPoint]

4. They ...the tRump Crime Family...

They have been successful in their practice runs of abuse of power...Now the real shit show or Coup d'état, this begins by November 2020...

We have no one to stand up at the moment and give leadership. Media, it could be helpful but just loves the shit show too much.

[babylonsister]

7. m$nbc was all over this yesterday

when the news broke. I thought they did a good job, had experts on, and roundly criticized Barr.

[FarPoint]

8. I know....

they do address this the best they are " permitted"..... It is just that this tRump Crime Family is only warming up...I essentially am almost terrified...

22. Today MSNBC

Was showing the latest Tara Reade clip over and over. Not a word about Andy Lack,

[Hermit-The-Prog]

35. The owners of Fox, NBC, CBS, ABC are happy to replace rule of law with rule of money.

[AleksS]

15. Holy smokes! Who says things like that???

Holy smokes! Who says things like that???

That’s cartoon villain dialogue.

That’s what you expect to hear from Skeletor or COBRA Commander, not a real human. Geez.

[maddiemom]

52. Barr's still not up to the "Mitch McConnell Standard" of blatancy.

[sellitman]

20. They don't plan on losing the election

Do they know something we don't?

That's the question we need to answer BEFORE the election.

[bluestarone]

24. MY feelings as well

THEY know they will win!!

[Buckeyeblue]

56. I wonder if it's the opposite?

They think losing is a real or likely possibility so they have decided to do whatever they want and let the chips fall where they will. That explains the title IX changes at this point in an election year.

6. Our Federal Government has gone rogue. There is no enforcement mechanism willing to stand up.

Therefore, no respect is shown or the law, because there is, in effect, no law. Gangsters, grifters, and thieves only respond to boundaries they know will be enforced. Now, there are none. Since all potential protectors are openly claiming impotence by their public and private paralysis, and we the people are unwilling, or not creative enough, to exercise any of our tremendous collective power, we’re absolutely at their mercy, or, putting a finer point on it, we’re royally and truly fucked.

[DENVERPOPS]

48. Couldn't agree more emphatically, Mr. or Ms Magoo

I have been shouting my head off since February of 1980. The Treasonous acts under Reagan by BushSr. and Cheney etc upset me to no end. I wrote down a list of 20+ things BushSr. and Cheney did during the 80's, that were going to screw the middle class for ever more..... And I have been studying and talking about this growing COUP attempt for now over forty years.......

Now that the ENTIRE federal government and the U.S. Supreme Court have been taken over by these RepubliCONS, I fear we are in "check mate"...........Yesterday, they took over the USPS, I'm not sure there is anything else for them that hasn't been taken over and put under their control....????......(oops, I forgot the destruction of Obama care, Medicare, Medicaid, Food Stamps, and Social Security, sorry)

It truly amazes me, the massive number of Dems that are JUST NOW showing up to the situation "OUR" Government and Democracy are in, at this point...........

For over a year, I have been telling people to be afraid, be very afraid of what we are sure to be witnessing on
November 4th. Now I think it could get out of control UGLY even before that, at the rate the RepubliCONs are accelerating their Dictatorship, every single day........(And think about it, we are six long months away from the so called election!!!)

WASF

[Grasswire2]

51. and we can't protest, en masse, in the streets.

No point in a general strike, either.

The two first steps in a revolt are not available to us.

[Magoo48]

57. Of course you are correct about our present situation.

And, for the life of me, I can’t seem to come up with any good ideas. I’m feeling boxed in both literally and figuratively.

[pnwest]

9. I don't either, but I got fuckin dragged

for saying so. My defeatist attitude is why Dems always lose, yada yada... but I agree with you. These fuckers are so rotten, so corrupted, what’s a little election fraud? It feels like one of the reasons they’re so blatantly out in the open with the corruption, the absolute in-your-face fuck you nature if it, is cause they know it’s in the bag. I’m already 💯 convinced they stole the last one, with actual hacked, vote-changing machines - and they (with Russia’s help) have had four years to refine the technique. The only way to defeat is to vote against in numbers SO huge, that the fraud would be too obvious. I will vote, but I don’t hold out much faith in the integrity of the election results.

[FarPoint]

11. It's not a defeated attitude in my opinion..

Holy shit....this Crime Family holds all the keys to the most powerful country in the Universe.. The balance of power and Rule of Law has been grossly corrupted...So, I say this is a stage of identifying our existing position....Now, who will lead us in recovery?

[CrispyQ]

19. On a really good day, I give us a 30% chance of surviving Trump/Barr/McConnell.

They are rat fuckers of the highest order. There is not one bit of decency or integrity among the three of them, or the Republican Party.

[Cosmocat]

27. I would take the under on that ...

nm

[Texin]

44. Sad to say it, but I have to agree with you.

[Karma13612]

5. Barr is a smug B@stard who needs some

Quiet time in a jail cell along with Trump and the other members of the Trump Cabal.

I....can’t ....well then.

[karynnj]

31. I still do not get why some Democrats saw him as acceptable when he was nominated

This is not the first time he managed to get Republicans guilty on serious issues off the hook. He was there to get the Iran Contra people pardoned.

One of the things that made me very angry in 2004 was seeing felon Oliver North opine on John Kerry. It was to Kerry that he made the lies under oath that got him indicted.

[Karma13612]

32. 👍 very true! nt

[liberalla]

36. I agree. He would've been confirmed without any Democratic support...

Not one Democrat should have cast an affirmative vote. It pissed me off then and it still pisses me off.

Manchin, Jones and Sinema.

[Thekaspervote]

10. Flynn isn't completely out of the woods. Something about the judge that heard the case has to

Give it the green light.

[machoneman]

12. Yes, the judge may still sentence him and Barr can't do shit about that.

After he hits the jail, then Trump can and likely will pardon him in a heartbeat! I do hope he get the book thrown at him.

[Boomerproud]

21. Flynn will never serve a day in jail.

I am 100% certain of that.

[Eyeball_Kid]

13. What's wrong, everybody? Aren't you happy with our new Dictatorship?

Isn't it just ducky that all of us, the COVID dead included, are now subject to serving Dictator Donnie?

For all of you loyal Americans, we now have a country that serves Donald. Donald has his own way of viewing Justice, and it has nothing to do with the Rule of Law. It has to do with the whims of Donald. We see this on a daily basis.

If you want a Constitution that guides the nation, you no longer have what you want. You have a dictator. Right now.

We won't have an election in November. The nation will have to overthrow a dictator, not elect a president.

Trump will NOT allow a defeat. He has the GOP, the DOJ, and right wing media to sustain his dictatorship. So the battle will be against those forces, and it will NOT be by way of a peaceful election.

[notdarkyet]

18. Time for a coup.

[bucolic_frolic]

14. Flynn is either guilty as confessed, or insane for confessing to things he didn't do

Take your pick.

[Traildogbob]

16. Trump and Pence are on record saying he lied

Glenn Kirshner was on Stephanie Miller this AM reading trump tweets stating The traitor Lied to FBI, that was why he fired Comey. Pence on audio saying Flynn lied to him.

[djacq]

17. Sounds like a Crime Syndicate to me.

[ouija]

23. As a history teacher

Like any information from this administration, that statement is not accurate. History is written from many points of view and there is no truth, only agreement that evidence supports a particular point of view.

[mjvpi]

28. Barr is still feeling confident

from that whole Iran Contra thing. After he engineered the successful pardons of those traitors, I can see why he is so confident.

As a believer in science, I like your definition. I think that Barr actually shares it. That’s why he is working so hard to bury hard facts. I guess one has to have faith(gulp!) that, as with democracy, the truth floats. I just hope that the actual evidence sees the light of day so that an accurate historical evaluation can take place.

[djacq]

29. TRUMP IS 'RUNNING A CRIME SYNDICATE OUT OF THE WEST WING'

[True Blue American]

47. It is.

[True Blue American]

25. Everyone

Is blaming Trump, but honestly he is the nincompoop who is allowing those who pretend to follow im have wanted to do for years. Starting with Nixon they have tried to destroy this Country and Government.

[live love laugh]

43. Yep Trump Trump Trump is a mistake ... it's really Republicans Republicans Republicans

They’re all in lockstep. Against America.

[True Blue American]

46. But no one seems to understand that!

Trump is a flunky for the really evil, like Barr. They used Bush the same way, but his Father was there.

This time with Trump he is nothing but a mob boss wannabe.

[live love laugh]

50. My problem with focusing on him too much is the fear that

people will relax if and when he’s gone—as if the problems all Republicans have created are also gone. The remaining ones will just go back into relentless stealth mode.

[True Blue American]

54. Barr is more evil

Than Cheney.

[notdarkyet]

26. Impeach BARR NOW.

[MacKasey]

30. Trying this so they don't have to use the pardon

Barr is trying to cover Trump's ass, which is quite large, so he doesn't have to pardon Flynn because they know to had it will look.

[LAS14]

33. Sorry, but what do you mean by "dropped the transcripts?" tia, las

[liberalla]

34. "dropped" means released

BREAKING: House Intel Russian investigation TRANSCRIPTS released!

[LAS14]

37. Ahh!! Thanks. nt

[True Blue American]

38. But the Supreme Court

Put a hold on releasing the transcrpt!

[liberalla]

39. huh ?

sorry, don't understand...

'Sure,e' supposed to be 'supreme' ?

but what is 'h.d' ?

ok, you fixed - thanks

40. Sorry, bad day here

My IPAD is acting up. Am sure it was not my fingers!
Yep, it was.

[madeup64]

41. So should it be Schiff or Harris

For Biden's AG?

Whoever is AG, they better investigate with the fury of the GOP's email server/Benghazi fervor. Fuck worrying about looking like partisans after Barr. Stop pretending GOP cares about political norms or respecting the sanctity of our institutions and put these criminals on their heels.

If Dems win trifecta, abolish filibuster, add 2 Supreme Court seats and make one nominee Merrick Garland and the other a staunch progressive who is no older than 45.

[mikewv]

45. %100 Agree with this post (nm)

[Zorro]

53. Harris

I'd like to see Schiff take over Nancy's position when the time comes.

[True Blue American]

55. Schiff!

Without a doubt. That is if they do not steal the election.
