TFG should have remembered from Jim Comey that government lawyers take careful notes.

... to get a murderer to trial? If it's much under two years, I'd be surprised.

SDNY and the Manhattan DA are just two entities working to get him in a court.

I'll bet a $20 donation to DU that 45 is indicted by the end of the year.

our legal system is slow, slow, slow.

I wish I could say it's good but it's slow.

I can't even say that, and I've worked with it for decades.

... trials over felonies, and how many civil suits, and how many charges will derive from the 1-6 House investigation?

He's going down. The only questions are how soon and for how long.

And how that relates to what he knows about tfg's plans to overthrow the government/overturn the election results/Instigate an insurrection.

My thought is he refused to take certain actions 45 was pushing for, and was either asked to resign or decided to so he wouldn't be party to the plans being made.

And with him gone, we now know 45 was harassing his replacement.
What did 45 say to Barr before he left?!? He needs to be questioned.
He knows stuff. I've been saying this since January.

But Rosen's notes and recollection are promising. I bet Barr knows more!

And I'd like to hear Barr testify to that!
Doubt it will happen. If it does, he "won't" remember lots of stuff.

What crazy ideas did 45 spew that made Barr resign, essentially saying he wanted no part of it?
Probably exactly what happened...

Hpoefully Donahue was a good notetaker. I am still waiting for the notes from tRump's and Putin's secret meeting in Helsinki 3 years ago.

but what is being reported is that those notes may be turned over to the select committee within days, unless MF45 files an objection with the courts.

By now, don't you think that trump's grade school principal had a file cabinet filled with little donny's antics?

Rosen file cabinet maybe several buildings full by now.....
