Despite the Mueller report conclusions, Orange Man Bad

Orange man very bad indeed!

i do love the "Meuller clearly was secretly telling Congress that it needs to investigate" interpretation

the fact that we're 3 days in and there isn't a single, consistent talking point makes me think they are legit spinning right now

btw i read some tweets from the formerly famous Louise Mensch yesterday. well worth your time

she's all about "Muh sealed indictments"

quote:

---

Sir, question: can any authority other than a court of law “determine, find or establish” that a US person has committed a federal crime?

Related question: how many *still pending* sealed indictments *filed in 2018* are on the docket in DC?

quote:

There is no cover-up going on. There is the correct legal process for the most significant set of prosecutions in the history of the Republic going on. By the book.

I’m going to write this up. My side won the day. The other side just don’t see it yet.

quote:

---

In fact, not only is the letter wonderful, Barr and Rosenstein, and Mueller, are all just following the normal process of law you would expect for something like this. It’s just that neither Twitter nor the Press Corps realize it

---

quote:

---

What looks "cute" and "games playing" could just be the regs.

Barr can only talk about OSC

I don't think he legally could confirm sealed indictments at any other federal court. Sealed means sealed!

Lawyers out there, thoughts? @DirkSchwenk

quote:

See, I don't think Barr *could* say sot. It would be "revealing the existence of an ongoing investigation". Although it is indeed "too cute" at first sight, the only thing Barr is *allowed* to discuss, at all, is actions directly of OSC.

What happened to the referred cases, no.

---

quote:

---

Barr had a right and duty to explain where the Special Counsel investigation is. He did so. Including sealed indictments. No more from OSC. He said OSC referred cases off (an action of OSC). All within the regs.

But if sealed indictments exist at other offices, could he say?

quote:

---

Per my piece today, a close friend who is a journalist said it would be "too cute" for there to to be sealed indictments with other Federal offices on Russia and just not OSC. Agreed it looks games playing on first sight, but. What if those are just the rules? Barr is a stickler.

Sir, question

---

The use of “sir” in social media communications, especially Twitter, is so cringe.

quote:

---

Question on the muh obstruction - how can you obstruct something that never existed (collusion)?

---

You can’t. That’s why the lawyer reviewing the factual findings that were outside of the scope of the Special Counsel’s assignment made the legal conclusion that there was not sufficient evidence to conclude or charge Trump with obstructing an investigation into a crime he didn’t commit. He had no evidence of guilt or intent to hide any guilt.

The left’s comparison of this to Watergate has always been fascinating to me. It shows a combination of ignorance, lack of self awareness, and the short sighted thinking that they have become famous for.

Watergate was about illegally spying on an opposing political party. Hmmm, what side’s actions does this directly compare to?

Do they really not see the irony and stupidity in their Watergate comparison?
