  1. Ari is correct, BUT, it is VERY important to note how hard people like Lindsey Graham (& being the Chair) are working to try and twist this report to fit a false narrative.

    If we don’t acknowledge that, that would mean we as Americans have not learned the power of misinformation.

    1. @Sadiq • There are 135,400 sealed indictments still ready for referral. How can you be so sure that Fusion GPS, the DNC and others don’t have their names on the indictments? You can’t. So, I guess we’ll just have to be patient and see what happens, eh?

    2. @Shawn Corbin Okay, fair enough. If you want to play that game, let’s do it. Let us pretend there DNC indictments coming down the pipe, but Donald Trump’s personal attorney William Barr has chosen to exercise objectivity and restraint by not leaking them.

      When he has done everything, PUBLICLY, to facilitate Donald Trump.

      If we are to rely on speculation & conjecture, I think anything sealed would REVEAL to America, that Bill Barr was intimately involved with Ukraine taking the heat and being the proverbial fall-guy for Russia violation and sabotage of American elections.

      As I said, I have no definitive proof, but since we’re just throwing out random possibilities, that would be one of my possible postulations.

      However, like say, let’s just wait and see what comes down the pipe.
      (But I personally think William Barr’s hands are dirty).

  2. *horowitz just testified that he has never in his career – across hundreds of investigations – encountered a situation in which officials insisted the department engaged in MORE misconduct than their own IG found. until Barr. until this case.*

    1. @Dave Schultz That is not entirely correct.. He says that “this report does not vindicate anyone who has touched this case”. Meaning that those involved in the FBI and FISA investigations into Trump, and his campaign personal, are all guilty of wrongdoings.

    2. @Crystal Giddens But the guy that makes that determination is Mr Barr, who has stated there was spying, on video abc

  3. Wouldn’t it be nice to have an intelligent, well spoken, patriotic leader with the best interests of the country as a whole forefront in his mind and actions.

    1. That doesn’t exist in america where the only thing that matters is money. From mass school shootings to preexisting conditions in insurance, everything boils down to money. Aren’t you glad americans championed a capitalistic society where politicians are bought out by lobbying groups and you get to die so the rich can sell pills and guns ? 🤭 🤭 🤭

    2. Have you heard any of those within the Modern Democratic party talk about Social and economic issues! In the name of all that’s Holy heaven help us!!! Makes the orange spray tan look Sober!

    3. Thats Trump. What you want it to be pimped by sell outs who sell their office to foreign powers and enslave you until you’re homeless in burbank or san Francisco paying 50 percent in tax

  4. Lindsay Graham seems to think that a proper investigative technique should be to tell your target they are under investigation.

    1. the clubhouse the agony of defeat when honestly defeated is nothing to always knowing that the only reason you won was simply because you cheated. It is interesting to note that cheaters, when caught, invariably point to others prior actions that seemingly justify their cheating. The truth is that one dishonors themselves by cheating and no amount of spin or further lies will ever bring that honor back. Instead the dishonor is compounded and a perpetual state of self disgrace is exacerbated usually evidenced by extreme psychosis and paranoia.

  5. Who said that the Senate members, including Москва Mitch, did not want a circus atmosphere? Come on, man.

    1. Also ruins your appetite if you happen to be eating. The Ted Cruz diet is far more effective than the Keto diet.
