But then again one might say foresight isn't his strong suit. He's probably feeling pretty bullet proof. He says what he says and his base supports him. He's getting justices on the scotus. Hes still in office after an impeachment. He's stacked the federal government with family members and cronies. His tax returns were partially made public and people are still good with a billionaire who pays more in parking fees than federal taxes. Thanks to the gop, he's probably thinking there's not much that anyone can do to him. And they're right.

You are no good as a fascist, Philhos. You don't know how to do it. The point here is that one of the people you want to go to prison is the person running against you for top office in the country. Arrest him and you've won. Democracy has lost. Probably Trump can't arrest Biden, but is pushing at least to get an impending indictment in the news--the kind of thing he was trying to force from the Ukraine. Add to that the crime is TRUMPED up, a consequence of Trump's control of a DOJ supposed to be independent of his political influence. I believe I said earlier that if the "evidence" sees the light of court, the whole sham falls through. But if Trump/Hannity can keep "impending" in the news, they may get some benefit from it. Remember how Guiliani was on the verge of a blockbuster revelation for months during the impeachment?

The Post said it learned of the emails' existence last month through Steve Bannon, the former White House chief strategist, and obtained them through Rudy Giuliani, President Donald Trump's personal lawyer ![]() ![]() ![]() RE: Trump Ultimatum to Barr--Indict Biden before Election! - Dill - 10-15-2020 (10-14-2020, 07:52 PM)fredtoast Wrote: I believe that the repair shop owner is legally blind too, right? ![]() ![]() Big discussion about this on the Brian Kilmeade show this morning. It fills up the empty space left by this: Trump 'not happy' with Barr, won't commit to keeping AG in potential second term: The Justice Department found no evidence of wrongdoing and declined to release its report publicly or to file any charges in Obama-era "unmasking." https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/justice-department/trump-not-happy-barr-won-t-commit-keeping-ag-potential-n1243489 Recently, news emerged that the Justice Department had concluded an investigation commissioned by Barr into the Obama-era "unmasking" of people named in national security documents related to the Russia investigation — a practice that Trump and conservatives pundits claimed was a political conspiracy. However, the Justice Department found no evidence of wrongdoing and declined to release its report publicly or to file any charges. The Washington Post was first to report the news. A federal prosecutor appointed by Barr concluded his review without finding evidence of wrongdoing, according to a source with direct knowledge of the inquiry, and without interviewing former CIA Director John Brennan, NBC News has reported. Brennan told NBC News that he was not interviewed by the prosecutor, U.S. Attorney John Bash of the Western District of Texas, or anyone else related to the investigation. Another key figure in the unmasking controversy, who declined to be named, said there was no interview by Justice Department officials. RE: Trump Ultimatum to Barr--Indict Biden before Election! - Dill - 10-15-2020 Just last week we had this: ‘Where are all of the arrests?’: Trump demands Barr lock up his foes The day-long run of tweets and retweets marked the most frantic stretch of Trump’s public activity since he left Walter Reed. https://www.politico.com/news/2020/10/07/trump-demands-barr-arrest-foes-427389 “DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS, THE BIGGEST OF ALL POLITICAL SCANDALS (IN HISTORY)!!! BIDEN, OBAMA AND CROOKED HILLARY LED THIS TREASONOUS PLOT!!! BIDEN SHOULDN’T BE ALLOWED TO RUN - GOT CAUGHT!!!” Trump tweeted. The day-long run of tweets and retweets marked the most frantic stretch of Trump’s public activity since he left the presidential suite at Walter Reed Medical Center and returned to treatment at the White House. They also underscored the degree to which Trump remains fixated on his grievances over the Russia probe, and often on obscure aspects of that investigation that are unintelligible to all but its most careful followers. Since late Tuesday, Trump has vowed to declassify all documents he claims will show improper activity by Obama and his intelligence advisers — before quickly reversing himself and suggesting he had already done so “long ago” — and repeatedly cited Russian intelligence services’ claims that Clinton “stirred up” the Trump-Russia collusion scandal that has dogged his presidency. Then this happened: 'Unmasking' probe pushed by Barr ends with no charges: Former CIA Director John Brennan, one of the key figures in the investigation, told NBC News he was never interviewed in the “politically motivated probe.”https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/justice-department/unmasking-probe-pushed-barr-ends-no-charges-n1243397 The end of Bash's probe means it is unlikely that Trump will be able to point to politically motivated and wrongfully initiated investigations into his 2016 campaign ahead of Election Day. Bash announced his resignation from the Justice Department last week, citing his desire to go into private practice. Which led to this: White House official pushes back on Trump's Barr critique, claiming AG ‘saved his presidency' https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trump-bill-barr-criticism-administration “The great irony in the president’s remarks is he is only in a position to complain because Bill Barr saved his presidency and everyone knows it,” a senior administration official told Fox News on Wednesday. RE: Trump Ultimatum to Barr--Indict Biden before Election! - Belsnickel - 10-15-2020 There is also the frustration in the Trump team over the lack of any product from Durham, and that there won't be until after the election.

I imagine the Democrats are fuming right about now. Not sure. I think all that report can say is that the FBI was listening in on Russian agents and operatives in the U.S. who were seducing or working with members of Trump's campaign. Barr would act if there were a shred of evidence to twist. For clarity, people on the NSC wanted to know the redacted names of some of the Americans who were discussing the election with the Russians--E.g., who was promising Kislyak that sanctions would be eased when Trump was In?. Those mysterious American friends turned out to be a lot of members of the Trump campaign. "Top" members, like his National Security Advisor to be. So Obama/Biden/Rice/the FBI were "spying" on a campaign colluding with Russian spies. Pocketing that report at least means Trump surrogates have shut up about it on talk radio, which Dems are probably happy about. (Barely a month ago this big reveal which was going to knock the legs from under the Biden campaign was just around the corner. The new "around the corner" is the mysterious laptop incriminating Biden and son--if its not another Russian psyop.)

Well, frustration on Trump's part for sure. But I think a lot of the team realizes the product is a nothingburger. What value it has, it has only if no one knows that for sure. Conspiracy minded supporters can keep demanding to know why "they" are hiding/witholding it. Must be something there. But start trying to indict people and POOF--the leverage, the power to accuse/indict is gone once the report/"charges" hit the sunlight.

RE: Trump Ultimatum to Barr--Indict Biden before Election! - Belsnickel - 10-19-2020 Is this where we were talking about the Hunter Biden emails? I can't remember, but figured this would be a good place for it: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/10/18/business/media/new-york-post-hunter-biden.html Even the NY Post, which is known for printing things without as much vetting as the more reputable agencies, knew there were doubts as to the veracity of these claims and some folks refused to put their names on it. On top of that, Rudy apparently openly admits he gave it to the Post because they wouldn't fact check him. Maybe this would be why social media companies were not letting this spread. But no, we have to give in to the false narrative that conservatives are being censored rather than the issue being that there is actual disinformation being propagated. Even our federal agencies were questioning the source of these emails.

I wonder if OAN did? https://www.mediaite.com/tv/exclusive-fox-news-passed-on-hunter-biden-laptop-story-over-credibility-concerns/ Quote:Mediaite has learned that Fox News was first approached by Rudy Giuliani to report on a tranche of files alleged to have come from Hunter Biden’s unclaimed laptop left at a Delaware computer repair shop, but that the news division chose not to run the story unless or until the sourcing and veracity of the emails could be properly vetted. RE: Trump Ultimatum to Barr--Indict Biden before Election! - Nately120 - 10-20-2020 Just to reiterate, I was pulling hard for Rudy to get the Republican nod in 2008. Man oh man have things changed. |
