Attorney General William P. Barr has held private meetings overseas with foreign intelligence officials seeking their help in a Justice Department inquiry that President Trump hopes will discredit U.S. intelligence agencies’ examination of Russian interference in the 2016 election, according to people familiar with the matter.

This is crazy! Trump is ready to burn USA down to save his butt and it seems like Barr, Pompeao et. al are helping him. We are doomed as country.

There’s nothing wrong with this. Barr should be asking all of the foreign intelligence services about it also.

Because they have allegiance to the American people? Because they will give us correct information if it hurts them and helps us?

On what planet is this a good idea? We have an FBI and like 12 different intelligence services full of people who swear allegiance to us and are all American citizens. A foreign country acts in its own best interest. Not ours. And it’s jaw dropping how stupid you have to be not to get this.

How is this not obvious to everyone? If one of our law enforcement agencies believes that a foreign intelligence service can assist them in something, fine. But asking a foreign agency with ties to their own people/give to undertake an investigation into domestic political rivals is not ok.

But I hear the Chinese are really good investigators. /s

Mueller didn't even read his own report.

Why should anyone else?

Because it contains facts, and evidence and documents and interviews and, you know, information? And people who aren’t Faux News crunch potato lackeys can read the actual first hand sources and evaluate the information without someone else’s filter and then decide for themselves, rather than having theories spoon fed to them by Faux or CNN? Because knowledge is power and a functioning democracy depends on an informed electorate?

If you read the report and don’t agree, then we have something to discuss. But you won’t.

But, thanks for making me realize again just how screwed we are by the terminally lazy instant gratification junkies among us.

All of that is unrelated to the Justice department conspiracy-theory probe into the origins of Russiagate. That investigation may be stupid and waste of money, but it probably isn't illegal.

Keep your eye on the ball and don't let them whip you up about the side-show. They really, really want to roll Ukraine into that, and it isn't the same thing at all.

Actually, that thing about the "dirt" was entirely fabricated by Adam Schiff in his opening statement to DNI Maguire's testimony. Later on during the hearing, Schiff claimed he wasn't "lying," it was simply his version of a "parody."

Yet the MSM are using Schiff's "lie/parody" of "digging up dirt" supposedly requested by Trump as the prevailing meme. And so are you.

Parodies are for clowns. Schiff is a clown. Are you?

And, let's not forget that Nancy Pelosi then went on 60 Minutes and accused Trump of trying to get Ukraine to "create" information.

It is no surprise that the Democrats are making statements that simply are not true.

Given that there was no investigation that involved Hunter Biden and no evidence of any wrongdoing, the only way there was going to be "dirt" is if it were manufactured.

If there was no investigation of Hunter Biden, then how could Joe Biden keep saying the accusations against his son have been "debunked"? Seems to me like you can't have a conclusion without having the investigation first. So let's have at it.

Also, when did you start beating your wife? We should really investigate that first. But I don’t trust the police department. Because they once found a friend of mine had committed a crime. So, I’m going ask the guy who is gunning for your promotion at work to be my personal investigator. And he gets to decide how much you beat your wife. And if he won’t do it, I’ll set his house on fire. Because I have a lot of match and no one will hold me accountable.

Wait— you say there is no evidence you beat your wife? Well, then by all means, he’ll investigate and get to the bottom of your lie. And he pinky promises to tell the truth.

Do you realize how crazy you sound?

Why is Barr breathing over the shoulder of a highly respected professional like Durham ?

Because Frump is calling him 87 times a day.

Because they want to expedite the information and Barr has the clout to get that done.

I just snorted coffee out of my nose. So thanks for that!

Which would absolve Russia from being sanctioned.

But Russia promised their investigation would be in America’s best interest!!! What could possibly go wrong? /s

You wish. America has reached its breaking point because of people like you. We'll come out of every nook and cranny to keep the likes of you out of office. Have a great day.

There’s a reason that the video of the woman telling Jodi Ernest to cut the crap and tell her where the line in the sand was for Trump has gone viral. We did reach a tipping point this week. Enjoy the fall.

An actual witch hunt. Fortunately, both the Aussies and Italians told them where to stick it. Not sure if the UK will do the same, we'll see. If they want the "dirt" from Mifsud, they should go to Moscow.

According to the massively sourced Post article on Trump’s calls with foreign leaders, he told May that he didn’t believe the UK intelligence that Putin has the Skripals poisoned. So hopefully they’re skeptical of every damn thing he says.

With Boris in charge at the moment, it is hard to say.

Okay Parliamentary law nerds. Help an American lawyer out. How much power does Johnson have to make this call. Because Parliment is not going to play ball. Can he get around that?

LOL, so that's where you're getting the "make shit up" accusation? First, we've been told there was an investigation and it turned up nothing on Hunter. So was there not an investigation? Trump saying, "look into what actually happened with Burisma and Hunter Biden" means "make some shit up?" Please.

Of course it does! How do you think Trump would react if Ukraine got back to him with the finding that Biden was clean as a whistle? They know exactly what they’re expected to do for their money. People like you think that you’re patriots for trusting the President, but you are really ignorant fools who are undermining our country.

Perhaps Biden (Joe) is clean as a whistle. Perhaps Hunter is clean as a whistle.

Meanwhile, I would like to know:
a. How a person with no expertise in gas/energy gets a more than $50,000/month compensation by serving on a board overseeing something he knows nothing about in a foreign country.
b. How a person can be given a $ 1.5 BILLION contract with a bank in China just two short weeks after returning from China on AF2 with dad who just happens to be VP.

The same way Jared gets into Harvard and Ivanka get a bunch of trademarks from China. By being wealthy, well connected kids who move in wealthy well connected circles. It’s not exactly unheard of for kids of the wealthy and well connected to get things they don’t deserve and haven’t earned. I think it’s noxious on either side. But it’s life.

BTW— want to start kicking rocks in Jared and Ivanakas and Jr.s and Eric’s gardens and see what crawls out? Targeting this kids is maybe not Trumps best strategy.

How does Jared get a billion dollars from Qatar to bail out 666 Park Avenue right when UAE and KSA were threatening war?
How do Eric and Junior rake in hundreds of millions for doing nothing?
How does Ivanka get chinese trademarks and an $82M payout last year for being a white house advisor?

These are real things. I am not saying Hunter is necessarily clean, but how about we deal with the present situation in total. Or how about we pass an ethics package that defines Emoluments, bans any relative from working in the government (this includes Barr's daughter and son in law) and closes all of the legal ambiguities that Trump has shattered?

But wait! This was HR-1, the exact first package passed by Nancy Pelosi as speaker. It is now (checks notes): sitting in MoscowMitch’s trash basket. Hmmmm... I thought Trump said fighting this type of corruption was his top priority. Can some explain this? I just don’t understand.

That’s a given. These rich white guys think it can’t happen to them. Trumps last attorney says Hi! From prison.

And his campaign manager waves "hi" too.

Plus the coffee boy.

And the national security advisor.
