Bill Barr reveals Russia probe review to focus on Trump dossier briefing, leaking

This is a terrible way for Barr's career to end.

But oh well. Some people aren't interested in legacies.

Sent from the Oval Office using Putin's MacBook, and Barr's Wi-Fi password.

Need to refine your definition of “treason.”

Legal Definition of treason. : the offense of attempting to overthrow the government of one's country or of assisting its enemies in war specifically : the act of levying war against the United States or adhering to or giving aid and comfort to its enemies by one who owes it allegiance.

I’m thinking that war is missing from the accusations....

Like encouraging a foreign adversary to commit crimes on your behalf and then obstructing the investigation into it? Is that treason?

So Trump thinks there was an attempt to over throw the government. Really?
 
guilt by omission

They had info Steele was unreliable and held it back submitted dossier for FISA.

Brennan Comey McCabe cabal...keystone cops....this was a quasi field operations run from HG and these idiots left way too many bread crumbs and have no fall guys.

They never thought TRUMP was gonna WIN!

I really wanna know about all the unmaskings leading up to Obama exit

these idiots are gonna stain the Dems for decades. rightfully

He was found innocent of collusion, but not exonerated. What would you call that?
 
Barr exposing the jejune

They better take Brennans Passport and guns now.

BARR: Well that's one of the questions that we're going to have to look at, it is a very unusual situation to have opposition research like that, especially one that on its face had a number of clear mistakes and a somewhat jejune analysis. And to use that to conduct counterintelligence against an American political campaign... would be strange development.

Honestly I would like nothing more than to be proven wrong concerning the FISA applications. I would love for it to turn out that everything worked as it was supposed to, and would have happened with any president. For the good of the country, I hope, I just don't believe it will come down that way. Time will tell. Thank you for the friendly wager Sir and best of luck to you and those at the FBI.

Comey only gave Trump an abbreviated Dossier predominately containing the Golden Showers portion. Of course Trump knew it was a lie designed to damage him politically.

Actually Comey didn't give him anything. Comey had with him a two page summary of the dossier which he used for his own reference in the meeting and he took it with him when he left. Remember that at the time of this meeting Trump is not yet President. He's the President-elect. The dossier at this point is also a classified document. So while he can give him an oral briefing that summarizes the document he can't let him view it directly or let him have a copy of the document itself because he is still not yet the President. Comey felt it was important that he broach the subject of the salacious portion of dossier privately because of the highly personal nature of the allegation so as not to embarrass him in front of his staff and give him a heads up about it before it becomes public. And believe me Comey dreaded having to do it even though that he knew it had to be done. The feeling was that the President-elect deserves to know this before he gets publicly ambushed by it. Because as he explained to the President-elect they had information that at least a couple of news media outlets had obtained copies of it and were waiting for a news hook event to release it and it has also been circulating among certain offices on the Hill. So it's eventual public release was all but imminent.

Well, now you're making it impossible for me to actually force you to go through with your end of the wager (should you lose) by being so charming. :lol:

Correction: he was found innocent of "conspiracy" as defined by federal law. Not 'collusion'. Which has has no statutory or legal definition.

I hope that any Presidential campaign that has over 200 contacts with Russian operatives is investigated as much as needed to find out what our enemy was up to. I hope you do too.

In Russia maybe....:lamo ZERO to 10 is the "average" number, Trump and his people had over 200 documented contacts with Russians and their operatives.

About 80% of those so called contacts were the equivalent of shaking hands with a Russian Ambassador at a crowded DC party or reception.

You are wrong. Sorry.

18 U.S. Code SS 2381 - Treason | U.S. Code | US Law | LII / Legal Information Institute

"18 U.S. Code § 2381. Treason

Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.
(June 25, 1948, ch. 645, 62 Stat. 807; Pub. L. 103–322, title XXXIII, § 330016(2)(J), Sept. 13, 1994, 108 Stat. 2148.)"

Not according to Mueller and the fact that they all lied about the contacts makes it doubly suspicious. Any American would know to contact the FBI if Russian operatives approach them during a Presidential campaign. Not only did Trump, his family, and his minions lie about theses contacts he covered for the Russians he knew were doing the meddling by saying "it could be anybody" thru-out the entire campaign and all the while he was negotiating a secret deal with Putin that he thought would net him $100's of millions. Sorry sweetheart this is not normal for any Presidential candidate and most of us would call it treason.
