Thank you once again for superlative information.

Where is Bob Woodward when you need him?

This should be front page news for the New York Times, the Washington Post, and the Chicago Tribune at the very least. In the days of Walter Cronkite, it would’ve been a television news item as well. Journalism has been cowed effectively by Donald Trump, MAGA, and the right.

Most criminals develop an MO and stick to it. When a crime is committed, police look at the MO and try to find known criminals that use it, and then look for motive, means, and opportunity. When all four match, they usually arrest the suspect.

One can hope. I would love to see ol’ Billy Barr and Weiss spend “some time in the barrel” as another Reprobate once said. And maybe solitary.

Maybe we will be seeing Bill Barr copping a plea soon.

A Peachy outcome. Followed by disbarment.

Ha. The NYT. They're madly working on a spin that makes it bad for Biden that the DOJ thought enough of him to try and frame him.

Let's not forget Barr was also involved in Ken Starrs' smear campaign against Bill Clinton. The man has no ethics at all.

Ethics is Barr's kryptonite. But he is a slippery tub of lard.

Emptywheel was also on Twitter today since Hunter's attorneys have referenced a post of hers sharing a power saw and some sawdust lined up like cocaine. Apparently, Weiss had a photo of a photo of this and claimed the lines were cocaine. Quality work by Weiss.

The Bloated Yam will never stop smearing Biden.

He smears all of his predecessors, actually. He has nothing good to say about any of them. He claims he's the greatest president ever.

The only former President I ever heard of who supported high treason was John Tyler, who got himself elected to the Confederate Congress. Lucky for him, he died before he could take his seat.

There is only one person of whom Donald Trump does not speak ill, and that is Vladimir Putin. I believe it is because he fears him. It would be very interesting to know the nature of that fear.

Admittedly, he has said good things about his various wives and daughter, but only about their looks and sexual talents.

I have read that Putin has the legendary tape of the Bloated Yam being pissed on by hookers for sexual gratification, which would be a tremendous embarrassment if made public.

I think it must be something quite a bit worse than that. Trump is pathologically frightened of being poisoned. At this stage, Trump just might be as useful to Putin as a martyr as in office.

All dictators are terrified of being poisoned.

All through history. They had food tasters and personal chefs.

Bill appears on CNN as if he was better than Trump. The real question is just how guilty he really is?

Thanks to you both for this hard work! I still don't know the back story of how Giuliani got a hold of Hunter's laptop.

I hover halfway between intrigue and my conspiracy theory alarm bells going off. It will be very interesting to see how this develops.

Am I oversimplifying by thinking that the hallowed 1023, that Grassley was breathlessly bloviating about all last summer on Fox, could turn out to be the smoking gun pointed at Barr and Trump?

Thank you for this excellent article. When will those shady senators and house members who are involved in all the crimey scandalous goings on be held accountable? Is it even possible? Meanwhile they are causing trouble and pushing on with the MAGA agenda treating the big T like he is president already…

The press should act more like a posse with this.
