  • Thread started 2018 has there been any indictments? What could they be waiting for surely two years into this they must have a detailed report to rival Muller’s no? 
    Over two and a half years. 20 years of Hillary’s tax returns. Twenty plus hours of Benghazi testimony. Tens of thousands of stolen emails and documents and? Nada, zilch, zero, goose egg. Remember when it was all about Reverend Wright and a birth certificate?

    There has been big news lately....

    1. The investigation into the "unmasking" was dropped...no charges...no explanation (which means there was absolutely nothing there)
    2. Durham investigation says they are not going to produce any statements until after the election.  They previously told John Brennan that he was NOT a target of the investigation which basically destroys the tRump talking points on its own.

    This new Hunter story is just the same bullshit under a different heading.

    If someone dies from covid you kinda have to blame covid. I mean at least that’s how it works up in Canada. We don’t blame Trudeau for each Canadian death. We don’t blame Ford for each Ontario death. We sort of understand how viruses work. We also know that Trump’s Operation Warp Speed is incredible and we will most likely benefit from your R&D...we always do. So if I lost a loved one I would be devastated but I wouldn’t play politics with it. It’s just gross.
    uh, that's because we have a leader who gives a fuck about canadians and follows the science. that's why you wouldn't blame trudeau or ford. they aren't telling everyone that it will disappear like a miracle, holding indoor rallies, infecting his supporters. they actually seem to care about others, whereas trump only cares about himself. 

    ironically, if he was smart enough to care about his reelection, he would have acted like canadian leaders. or literally almost any other leader on the planet.

    That's the thing....if tRump would have really led on us related to COVID he would likely be cruising to re-election.  Or at least the race would be much tighter.

    He just can't do it.  He is a sociopath with no empathy for others.

    Ummm...I know I don’t. But we’re talking about Covid so please try and keep up. Only 20% of Canadians approved of him pre-covid! The 80% who never approved are the same ones who can’t stop talking about Trump now as our case counts shoot up. Ontario is going back into phase 2 lockdown and yet we know it’s not really our leader’s fault. We get the virus has a say. Yet the 80% will rag on Trump’s management yet say nothing about Cuomo shipping covid bombs into nursing homes. Believe me I get it. It’s Orange Man Bad all day everyday up here. 
    no, we can at least acknowledge when mistakes are made. trump, not so much.

    I hear many people talking about all of the wonderful indictments that are coming very soon. In the next couple of weeks in fact.
    And they will be big, beautiful, perfect indictments. 
    The greatest indictments in American history.

    So they're pushing the Durham report back to after the election (spoiler alert--there's not a whole lot there) and now they quietly announce they found no evidence of wrong doing regarding the masking nonsense?

    Where art thou, devout Trumpists? You, who were clinging to these conspiracies to swing the election? Why so silent?

    Any day now....any day now...bombshell coming.....what a crock of shit


    Fox News portrayed it as one of the biggest scandals in American history. Then it fell apart



    WaPo Barrs unmasking investigation concludes without charges


      New York (CNN Business)It was a conspiracy that Fox News portrayed as one of the greatest — if not the greatest — political scandals in American history.

      Tucker Carlson called it a "domestic spying operation" that was "hidden under the pretext of national security." Laura Ingraham characterized top Obama administration officials as having been "exposed." And Sean Hannity flatly declared it to be the "biggest abuse of power, corruption scandal" the country had ever seen.
      That was back in May. This week, however, the conspiracy theory collapsed when The Washington Post reported that a Justice Department investigation into the supposed scandal quietly ended with no charges.
      The narrative pushed by Fox News was centered on the routine intelligence practice of "unmasking." A document declassified in May by then-acting Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell, who has been criticized by Democrats and career intelligence officials as the most overtly political person to serve in the position, revealed that several Obama administration officials had "unmasked" a US citizen mentioned in intelligence reports. 
        Information about Americans is anonymized in US intelligence reports for privacy reasons. But there are instances when US officials who read these reports need to see the full picture. To make that happen, they need to provide a justification to the intelligence agency that produced the report. If the agency grants that request, the information is "unmasked," and the name is revealed.
        The person in the intelligence reports ended up being Michael Flynn, who served as President Donald Trump's national security advisor before being fired for lying to Vice President Mike Pence about his contacts with Russia. The Obama officials who requested the "unmasking" of the US citizen, however, wouldn't have known Flynn's identity until after he had been "unmasked."
        During the transition, Flynn's name would've appeared in intelligence reports because of his highly irregular contacts with foreign officials, including phone calls with the Russian ambassador and a meeting with a delegation from the United Arab Emirates. Obama-era national security officials have said they "unmasked" Flynn while trying to decipher these unorthodox diplomatic dealings. 
        While the procedure of "unmasking" is commonplace in national security matters, happening thousands of times each year, right-wing media portrayed the act as nefarious. The essence of the narrative they pushed was that President Barack Obama and members of his administration, including then-Vice President Joe Biden, participated in a "deep state" plot to improperly use the levers of government to win the 2016 election. The supposed scandal was colloquially referred to by its proponents as "OBAMAGATE."
        Attorney General William Barr eventually commissioned a federal prosecutor to look into the matter. The Post reported on Tuesday that the inquiry ended without finding substantive wrongdoing and that the probe's findings would likely disappoint conservatives who believed "unmasking" was tied to a political conspiracy against Trump.
        News that Trump's Justice Department had concluded without charges being filed landed with a thud on Fox News. Martha MacCallum covered it on her Tuesday night show, but a search of transcripts did not turn up any other instances in which Fox covered it on air. The story was briefly featured on Fox News' homepage before being removed Wednesday afternoon. Even when it was featured on the network's website, it was not given the same play as the initial unmasking stories were in May. 
        The episode marks yet another instance in which Fox News and its hosts have dishonestly hyped an innocuous national security procedure into a supposed scandal, only to later watch it quietly fall apart before moving on to feed something else to their audience.
        A Fox News spokesperson did not respond to a request for comment Wednesday. 
        It's difficult to overstate how much Fox News promoted the unmasking story in May, never mind promoting it as an insidious plot against Trump.
        As the coronavirus death toll neared 100,000 people in the US, Fox News practically dumped coverage of the disease to focus on "OBAMAGATE." After Grenell declassified the related documents in May, mentions of key words related to the supposed scandal spiked on the conservative network as mentions of words related to the coronavirus dropped.
        And it wasn't just pro-Trump propagandists on Fox News, such as Hannity and Ingraham, who went all in on the story. Fox News anchors such as Bret Baier, who the network promotes as covering the news in a no-nonsense "straight news" way, also elevated the story on their programs. 
          Baier, for instance, hosted the right-wing commentator Mollie Hemingway to discuss the supposed scandal without challenging her assertions, despite them being out of lockstep with what the national security community was saying.
          The topic was featured in countless other news segments on the network in which pundits would chew over the declassified documents.

          Even Barr couldn't fake Obamagate?  Hopefully everyone that worked so hard at it can grab a beer and a slice at Comet Pizza and have some R and R.

          because of course there was nothing to it.

          this administration is like the abusive boyfriend/girlfriend that keeps making promises to take it to the next level and just absolutely has no intent on following through.

          Trump declines to say whether Barr will return if re-elected

          President Trump told Newsmax in an interview Wednesday that "it's too early" to say whether he will ask Attorney General Bill Barr to return should he win a second term.

          Why it matters: Barr quashed Trump allies' hopes that a sweeping review of the origins of the Russia investigation, led by U.S. Attorney John Durham, would be a pre-election bombshell containing revelations about what they allege were serious abuses by the Obama administration and intelligence officials.

          • Durham's investigation so far has netted one criminal charge — an FBI lawyer who pleaded guilty to altering an email used to obtain a surveillance warrant on former Trump campaign aide Carter Page.
          • Barr has made clear to top Republicans that they should not expect any further indictments or a comprehensive report before Nov. 3, Axios' Alayna Treene reports.

          What they're saying: "I have no comment. Can't comment on that. It's too early," Trump said about whether he would bring Barr back.

          • "I'm not happy with all of the evidence I have, I can tell you that. I'm not happy."

          Driving the news: The Washington Post reported on Tuesday that a related probe commissioned by Barr, which reviewed whether Obama administration officials improperly requested the identities of Trump officials redacted in intelligence reports, has ended without finding substantive wrongdoing.

          • "Personally, I think it's ridiculous. It's ridiculous. It's a disgrace," Trump told Newsmax in an interview airing Wednesday night. "I think it's really a horrible thing that they're allowed to get away — when they say no indictments, they actually said no indictments before the election."
          • "I had to go through elections with all those clouds over my head. But they don't because the Republicans are so nice. Personally, I think it's too bad. I think it's too bad, they're guilty as hell."

          barr either has the rona and is sick, is shredding incriminating documents to help trump, or is meeting with his lawyers for when he gets canned or resigns in disgrace so he can flip on trump.
