watching Barr torpedo SDNY to cover Trumps guilty ass and make sure some shit never sees the light of day and Berman's FUCK YOU response to Barr, is like watching an episode of Billions.

The SDNY just essentially accused the AG of the US of obstruction of justice. I guess that would be entertaining if I though Barr would face any scrutiny over this.

Trump had advance information of a Russian intelligence operation against his election opponent. He actively worked to benefit from that Russian intelligence operation. What's the word I'm looking for to describe that?

And why was this key finding from the Mueller report hidden even after Stone’s case was finished?

Because Barr is a corrupt piece of shit, of course.

Trump made it clear lately that he's following the Nixon playbook.

I assume he was up for.something other than his generalship.

Doesn't sound like much. Maybe because he was a Mason?

Like all Confederate monuments  it was fuck you thumb in the eye to black people.

Mixed feelings on that here in native country,  as Pike was an advocate for native tribes and argued in court for them against the federal government.  His sword cut both ways.

TRUMPSTOCK

I came upon an unmasked man
He was walking along the road
And I asked him, where are you going
And this he told me
I'm going down to Tulsa man
I'm going to join the MAGA group
I'm going to camp out with the troop
an' get my beers free
We are Trumpdust
We mean nothing 
And we've got to get ourselves
Back to the basement

By the time we got to Trumpstock
The lines were really long
And everywhere there was beer n smoke and a lot of coffin
And I dreamed I saw the bombers
Riding shotgun in the blue
Strafing libs and blacks and Jews
Above our nation

We are Trumpdust
A billionaire's photo prop 
We are molding
We'll be coughing
And we've got to get ourselves
back to the basement

https://www.huffpost.com/entry/real-looters-bronx-protest-racial-justice_n_5eecc6bfc5b672210a268262

Raven Rakia, a New York-based journalist and writer, authored the widely read 2013 article “Black Riot” in The New Inquiry, which offered an unflinching look at how the predominantly white American media covers protests led by Black people. The media’s fixation on “riots” and “looting,” she told HuffPost this week, often obscures the systemic violence regularly visited upon Black Americans.

“There is very little investigation in mainstream media into the oppression and exploitation that is a constant presence in Black working-class people’s lives in this country,” Rakia said.

And yet the media, she continued, will then depict uprisings against that oppression and exploitation as the real “chaos, anger and violence,” as if it “sprung out of nowhere.”

“They treat Black-led uprisings as a nuisance and are relieved to go back to their daily routine,” Rakia said.

The judge concluded that while Bolton certainly exposed classified material (seen in chambers), the book is already out there and an injunction now is nigh unto worthless.

It's corruption and you know it.   Berman is competently pursuing lawful investigations and prosecution of Trump cronies.   "Reassignment"  is doubletalk for a purge, of a branch that is supposed to be independent.   If Obama had done such a thing, you would have screamed "obstruction" and called for impeachment.
