Judge says Barr distorted Mueller findings

[hal2kilo]

Well, I would just put out a big DUH!, but this is coming from a judge involved in a Buzzfeed lawsuit to obtain an unredacted copy of the Mueller report.

A Federal Judge Just Called Out William Barr for Distorting the Mueller Report’s Findings

"These circumstances generally, and Attorney General Barr’s lack of candor specifically, call into question Attorney General Barr’s credibility."

Brains not the issue. D's don't have anyone that maniacal. Much has he was a bit of a dirtbag Michel Avenatti was fairly effective at dirty tricks. He should be hired immediately. Oh shit he's in jail.

 

[HomerJS]

Judge has basically said Barr can't be trusted and will have to look at the unredacted report himself.

My God, if this can get out before Election Day.

Yeah liberal grifters go to jail. Conservative grifters become President or AG.

I don't understand why Barr would do something so incredibly stupid. The report was to be handed over to the house, why lie about it's contents?

Because he's a toady and wanted to shape the public narrative before the report was released.

Because 60+ million people will believe anything a GOP admin says instead of their own eyes.

Because a lie gets halfway around the world before the truth gets its pants on. Because it worked, at least so far.

I would bet money it comes back that he did something exactly that stupid but he doesn't view it as stupid because he's already succeeded in his goal. Remember, his goal was to protect Trump from the political damage in the report, as its findings were absolutely damning and basically accused Trump of multiple felonies. When the report is in the news, you redact the embarrassing stuff and make up some excuse for it. Sure those embarrassing parts may come out a year or two later but by that point the news and the public has already moved on.

If you look at Barr's history in government this is exactly the sort of thing he's been doing his whole life. He's a bag man.

Because he though he could keep it hidden until it didn't matter.

Occam's Razor dude. Barr is corrupt

Because he's a bad person, and will perform any craven act required to protect his party?

Just like everyone on this board has been saying for like a year?

Yep this thing a bout Barr bushwhacking the facts of the Mueller report before it got released was a coup for Donny Dickwad. All one can hope for though is that the Senate and the presidency gets taken over by the Dems while retaining the House and have that version of a unified gov't right those many egregious wrongs McConnell and Donald committed in their efforts toward creating a despotic form of gov't in order to push forward their greed driven Russian influenced agenda and then criminally attempting to hide those crimes from The People.

yeah, I wonder....

But he did do the exact same thing, back during the Iran Contra scandal, iirc. --wrote a rather dubious opinion on the nature of illegally trading arms with out enemies (or something like that--lol I forget the details), and made that public before any official decisions could be made during those hearings. He provided a defense argument based on what he then knew to be specifically false claims, that were later revealed to be absolutely false, but he did it anyway because he knew that the only story that "matters" is the first one. The people will simply forget or just not care that he was intentionally lying in order to defend illegal activity all along...because he got away with it.

It's weird how humans work.

But he did that. And he did the exact same thing with the Mueller report. I mean, just look at the interpretation from the GOP and all of their supporters: they believe an entirely different conclusion about the Mueller report from what it specifically and unambiguously claimed, all because Barr intentionally misconstrued it once ahead of release, then again in an unprecedented press conference prior to the "redacted" release. He did this twice. Specifically, and strategically.

He knows he was lying about it. He knows that the Mueller report very specifically condemned Trump with up to 10 counts of obstruction that deserve serious investigation and likely prosecution.

He knew that. Trump knew that. All of the ghouls in the administration knew that. But they also knew that their supporters wouldn't give a fuck as long as they got the lie that made them feel most comfortable, first.
