The only difference between yesterday and today is that Barr has openly exposed his intention to obstruct justice.
Infrastructure Week is LIT!!!! |
There is a huge difference between making ethically questionable decisions and committing a criminal act. That’s why Hillary isn’t in prison and why Barr won’t be either. |
This is what I think. But it's really dumb. |
The fact that Barr and Trump want him in the position creates the presumption that he is in on the obstruction of justice scheme. |
That’s just dumb. He’s done a good job at the SEC and he is hardly a Trump loyalist. |
Why would he want Berman to back down? |
I'm a good engineer. Next week I will be your dentist. |
Not necessarily nefarious but likely a conflict of interest. Clayton counted Deutsche Bank as a client and defended them in a massive Russian money-laundering scandal. “There is a criminal investigation into Deutsche Bank occurring in SDNY,” Stedman said, adding: “Deutsche Bank is Trump's lender.” https://www.ft.com/content/efbc8fd4-99a5-11ea-8b5b-63f7c5c86bef And you should be able to find many articles about Trump and DB. "Donald Trump’s relationship with Deutsche Bank has lasted longer than any of his marriages and is cloaked in more secrecy." https://www.ft.com/content/efbc8fd4-99a5-11ea-8b5b-63f7c5c86bef |
Based on what? |
And the easy answer is that he would recuse himself from cases where he has a conflict of interest. |
|
No one does that in this administration. |
First of all, that’s not a remotely comparable analogy. I lawyer who has done mostly civil investigative work (that often proceeds in parallel with criminal cases) is far more qualified to lead a prosecutor’s office than an engineer would be to serve as a dentist. Your analogy is frankly ridiculous. And even if you criticize his qualifications for the job, that’s a far cry from saying he is in on an obstruction scheme. |
Sure. Anything is possible. |
DP. No, the analogy was spot on. Sorry it hurt your feelings. |
