Pretty amazing that he was able to go on tv immediately but can’t go to Congress for six weeks.

Chatter around the web seems to mirror the consensus here that it is for show.

Watched this 5 minute blast from the past and it is fairly obvious he thinks the President should be king. The section of the video where he says, "it's my baby," is ugh. Note who is sitting next to Whitehouse is Amy Klobucher.

Hey look, Barr has appointed an outside prosecutor to scrutinize the Michael Flynn case.  Totes norms.

Grey Lady = Deep State

Wheeler offers a roundup:

THE SIZE OF BILL BARR’S COVER-UP HINTS AT THE MAGNITUDE OF WHAT HE’S COVERING UP    

The breadth and scale is pretty staggering. DOJ whistleblowers have to come forward and at a minimum we need testimony from those recently resigned and/or ousted officials.  Barr scheduled to testify to Congress March 31st defines a now 6 week window for evidence to come to light for that hearing.

Bolton’s book “The Room Where It Happened” has a set March 17th release date.  Barr testifies to Congress March 31st, so it’s definitely setting up.

St. Patrick's Day? Well, Mr. Bolton here's a good Irish *toast for yourself:

If your crop is tall,

May your meitheal be small.

There's potentially a firestorm brewing that Bolton could set off re Barr/Trump DOJ abuse and corruption and coverup.  Remains to be seen, but it's not hard to envision Bolton playing a bigger role here than he could have in the impeachment for Trump/Ukraine.  If you knew in advance Senate was gong to acquit for Ukraine abuse (we did), having Bolton testify for that would have been more or less a waste and blunted his potential impact in this DOJ matter.  If it ends up being bad enough to warrant further consideration of further articles, I have to think the Senate doesn't want to have to perp an obvious cover-up to absorb the hit for Trump a second time.  They tried to pass off Ukraine as fair turnabout, but that will be harder to do when involving the DOJ specifically.  In recent days, Trump already is laying out his role as 'king' of the Executive Branch - if the he does it, it's not illegal.  This is much bigger than Roger Stone sentencing, however - see Wheeler's post I linked above.  Bolton could come in hot, and even though it's shitty, it'd be a bonanza for his March/April book sales.

1,100 Former DOJ Employees Call On Barr To Resign After Intervening In Stone Case

https://www.npr.org/2020/02/16/806525297/1-100-former-doj-employees-call-on-barr-to-resign-after-intervening-in-stone-cas

  Quote

More than 1,100 former Department of Justice officials are calling on Attorney General William Barr to resign after his department lowered the prison sentence recommendation for Roger Stone, a longtime ally of President Trump, in a move that's led to accusations of political interference. 

In a letter released Sunday, the former DOJ officials, who have worked across Republican and Democratic administrations, wrote that Barr's intervention in the Stone case has tarnished the department's reputation.

"Such behavior is a grave threat to the fair administration of justice," the former officials wrote. "In this nation, we are all equal before the law. A person should not be given special treatment in a criminal prosecution because they are a close political ally of the President. Governments that use the enormous power of law enforcement to punish their enemies and reward their allies are not constitutional republics; they are autocracies."

Book sales were guaranteed after he decided not to testify.

Nothing will happen. If the House impeaches again, the pubs will scream witch hunt, election is 5 months away let the people decide, and the Senate will furrow brows and vote to acquit. 

We've turned a corner and it's not looking good. Come out to the ledge before all of the good seats are taken.

Let me back up.  The big win here would be if this leads to Barr's resignation, or impeachment.  It would arguably be worse for GOP Senate trying whitewash or pull off a coverup for Barr than for Trump.  But Barr has to get stopped.  If evidence comes out that is completely off the rails corrupt, especially regarding the Turkish bank/gold trader/Iran deal that likely directly implicates Trump, House may not have a choice but to consider additional articles.  It's right there dangling in our faces screaming for scrutiny.

Given the timing with Stone’s sentencing Thursday, it’s be nice if it blunts Trump’s attempt have DOJ intervene to go easy on the guy who lied and obstructed to keep Trump’s active complicity hidden.  And hopefully it gives Stone’s judge some support should she opt put him away for a good bit.

But you still make DOTARD do it.  You make him put his name to everything--he doesn't like to put his name on paper to anything, which is why he tweets and implies.  You make him do it every time regardless.  What are the odds that all these guys don't go on to more corrupt causes?  And they'll have DOTARD to thank and he'll be forever tied to their criminality.  It will come out eventually, there's too much money and noteriety involved.  I imagine there will be all kinds of tell alls should we survive his presidency.  And you let it be known that a large group of Americans supported a criminal.

Good interview with Deputy AG of Bush 41's DOJ:

That interview was actually too charitable to Barr, suggesting he has consistently viewed the man who heads the executive branch as being above the law and that Trump is simply the first president to exercise these authoritarian powers, when in fact Barr has defended Clinton's impeachment in the Whitewater investigation where there was no underlying crime by Clinton and in which he lied under oath, as totally appropriate.

Well, now Trump is in recycle mode, so at least we probably know what's coming.

Don't know about that.  I imagine Stone's co-conspirators (Trump, for one) would rather Stone get a light sentence and be done with it than pardon him and have Stone then be compelled to testify to Congress under penalty of perjury.  Maybe some with legal chops here can speak to real world  examples of individuals spilling the truth under compelled testimony (or perjuring again) after a pardon when they can't plead the Fifth, but I'm not aware of any.  What Stone is covering up is a huge deal.  It was an elaborate deal and it involved a lot of different actors, foreign and domestic.  If there was ever a case where an individual was pardoned to protect the pardoner, this is it.  Drag his ass in front of the House if Trump pulls out a pardon.

HE SHOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN CONFIRMED.   A poxy on every person that voted to confirm him.

Anyone could have seen most of this coming.  I only credit him with going even about 20 steps further than I thought he was capable when confirmed.

Nevermind his daughter getting moved to the Financial Crimes unit of Treasury, and his son-in-law is now at the White House Counsel's office.  SWAMP....DRAINED!

Seriously, on the one hand the MAGATS cheer about draining the swamp...and on the other hand they rabidly support a group that has turned the US government (and the executive branch in particular) into a family business.  The Swamp is more fetid and deadly than it's ever been.  Fuck all these fucks straight to hell.

A common physical trait with all of these cheap hucksters and con artists is gross, floppy jowls.  It has gotten to the point where I don't trust old, white dudes with gross, floppy jowls anymore.  This is unfair to all the honest men who have gross, floppy jowls.  I must do better moving forward.

Just playing devil's advocate here, but in this scenario wouldn't it just be a lot easier for Dotard to simply allow Stone to begin serving his sentence and then have him Epsteined while he believes that a pardon is imminent?
