American Bar Association is oddly silent about this person.

Time to pop all the popcorn?
Pretty soon too:
The Democratic chairman of the U.S. House Judiciary Committee said on Wednesday an agreement had been reached to have Special Counsel Robert Mueller testify to Congress on his probe into Russian election interference and possible attempts by the President Donald Trump to impede the probe.
Representative Jerry Nadler told reporters the agreement was for Mueller to testify sometime in May, but that a specific date had yet to be agreed upon.

Let me guess, the day in May immediately after the day the President flees to Moscow with half the gold in Fort Knox.

there isn’t actually much there. Unless it has changed drastically since I left active duty (was my first assigned base in the 90’s).

But is “not much” still a whole hell of a lot? Like millions of dollars worth at least, right?

definitely. Honestly…if my choice were:
A) Keep Nostradumbass for two more years, and then put the onus on the people to vote him out
B) Let him take whatever is in Ft Know and flee, thereby removing him permanently
I’d very very strongly consider B.

The thing that’s driving me crazy is how I went along with the Barr summary specifically because nobody from the Mueller team objected to the summarization. Now we learn that they did have objections, but they kept them to themselves and allowed Barr to basically lie to the country unchecked.

Other than that, though, AG Barr was spot on.

Oh I think B would be clearly preferable because it would also resolve the issue of whether Trump was actually a bad guy, and whether there needs to be a reconsideration of how it was someone like that could get elected in the first place. In a way it could end up being the least chaotic and most unifying thing Trump could do.
My guess is that Trump’s presidency ends with suicide in the oval office. Not because I have any reason to believe Trump would do that, but only because the last few years have caused me to expect that absolute most chaotic, discordant, confusing outcome for everything, and I can’t think of a single thing that would create more havoc.

If those bear fruit I hope the NYPD and/or the IRS march into the lobby of Trump Tower and seizes it as the proceeds of criminal activity. The NYPD’s computers already can’t tell how much they’ve seized so what’s another $371 million?

“Did not fully capture the context, nature, and substance” isn’t the same as “failed to capture.” So I am sure pundits (Fox News) will argue that he DID capture the context, nature, and substance just maybe not “fully.”

Sadly, I am also skeptical.
