Barr is not going to be able to salvage his reputation, no matter how hard he tried.

Not long afterward, he booked his end-of-year party at the Trump Hotel. That's the definition of a tense relationship, in Opposite World.

It is batsh1t crazy.

Discredit the Mueller report? Where in the hell are you getting that idea?

This isn't about discrediting his report. It is to identify the origins of the disinformation that led to his entire investigation.
There is ample evidence that some in our IC community and government abused their power to force Mueller's investigation. If these people broke laws, shouldn't they be held accountable?

I know it may be a reach, but consider for a moment, that the origins of the investigation were legitimitate.

That perhaps Papadopolous, who was at best, an intern at the Hudson Institute, really had no business being considered a Foreign Policy Expert by the Trump Campaign.
That perhaps a number of unsavory people with backgrounds associated with crime in Ukraine and Russia were at the head of the Trump campaign.
That perhaps Trump himself, had been laundering Russian money for decades and was a compromised candidate.

Just consider that for a moment and then look at these activities today through a different lens.

You have to speculate. We have documentation

I think there is plenty of documentation about Papadopilouses thin CV.
I think there is plenty of documentation about Manafort's illegal and unsavory actions abroad, including the fact he is in jail right now.
There is plenty of documentation including a FinCEN fine, related to Trump and russian money.

No speculation.

This is sarcasm, right?

Sadly, probably not. Some lunatic is going to pop up on the interwebs with the “proof,” and people will eat it up. They are lost in the upside down. I just hope nobody gets hurt as a result.

What is Barr looking to get out of this?

Oh, well, if you say so.

DP. I don't know her. What has been reported is that when Trump picked Manafort to be his campaign manager, she helped to bring his history to light. Which was good of her.

She worked with the DNC, and the Clinton campaign, to get Ukraine to take actions in support of Clinton.

What that action was, was helping to bring Manafort's history to light.

He worked closely with Yanukovych. We all know that. Thanks in part to Chalupa.

Dude, that’s not helping the Clinton campaign. It’s warning people about Manafort, who is NOW IN JAIL. Rightfully so. Meanwhile, a grand jury told the DOJ to go eff themselves about the made up charges against McCabe.

You guys are doing Russia’s work for them: weaken the US from the inside, weaken the US IC, weaken Ukraine, weaken other western nations. JFC, if Putin wants those things, why do you want them, too? How can you not see that you are doing his wet work?

The bolded cannot be stressed enough. All of the right wing conspiracies are hatched and amplified via the right wing ecosystem and on social media. The difference today is that Trump is amplifying it as well. For example, the whole "whistleblower rule change" thing was 100% false. The IG had to put out a release yesterday totally debunking it. But there was the president over the weekend putting it out there for all to be outraged about. Same thing with the Biden thing. A former Trump official totally debunked that over the weekend, yet here we are arguing over it. Pizzagate, her emails, UraniumOne - the whole IC thing is a right wing conspiracy that now, the Trump administration with Barr and others, are wasting US resources and fomenting outrage on the right.

It is really sad to see our Republic fall like this, but it show just how effective the KGB tactics are when deployed with the modern technology that Stalin and Khrushcev never had.

Consider to a moment that you and the entire GD GOP have lost their moral compass. Remember this? https://mobile.twitter.com/mattyglesias/status/1178834241062424576 Remember your hyperoverreaction to it?
