DOJ opening a criminal grand jury for 2016 election investigation

Alternative title: Barr set to destroy DOJ credibility

I’ll have a link in a second.

So the DOJ has moved from an inquiry to now a criminal grand jury. That doesn’t necessarily mean there will be criminal charges but it typically means they have something concrete to investigate.

The move is likely to open the attorney general to accusations that he is trying to deliver a political victory for President Trump.

Who could possibly imagine him doing a thing like that. Justice is supposed to be blind but not that kind of blind.

This will turn out to be a derp state investigation.

Oh it’s definitely a sham investigation. I’m curious if they plan to keep it going until the election in an effort to discredit the impeachment inquiry or a way to weed out any agents who aren’t loyal to trump.

I’ll remind everyone while we continue to sit in a pot of increasingly hotter and hotter water:

When do you stop fascism from happening?

During Obama's presidency and now with trumps presidency many people said the US was turning into a dictatorship or becoming fascist. For the sake of this thread lets not make this about either president. Everyone likes to say that if they had a time machine they would go back and kill Hitler...

I’ll also post my original post:

Are we there yet...

If Kavanagh is confirmed, would that be the moment we cross over into fascism? I know that sounds extreme and alarmist but allow me to explain. Fascism doesn't happen via a hostile takeover where one day everything is fine and the next day we have a military coup. It happens slowly and fascist...

What's Manafort in prison for again?

Basically Barr giving the right wing media and Republicans a talking point because the Taylor news was so bad.

I’ve got a hunch this isn’t what we fear it is...let’s see what they have.

Given that they couldn’t get a GJ to indict McCabe this should go fine too. Amazing how law and order conservatives are willing to do literally anything to protect Trump no matter how depraved.

 

[HomerJS]

Damn. Now we are going to have to have an investigation of the investigation of the investigation.

Other than a sham investigation, what could it be? Criminal charges against those who lied to investigators of the original investigation? Lol wouldn’t that be freaking awesome?

 

[HomerJS]

Can anyone tell us exactly what crime they are investigating?

Lol no. That’s how you know it’s bull shit.

Hillary sold some oranges to some super secret surfer?

 

[Gabe323]

What channel are these live and totally transparent investigations going to be on?

Glad Hitler is not alive.
Hitler could hire Barr to go after those damn American troops for screwing up Hitler's plans for world domination.
Those damn Americans.....

Obviously, this is still another desperate attempt sourced directly from the brain of Donald Trump to distract from true picture i.e. the last days of Donald Trump.
SO while democrats nail down the evidence for impeachable, thanks to Barr Fox News can play their little game of distraction and conspiracy theory.

What will this all come down to you may ask?
Only more evidence for the impeachment of Donald Trump.
Only more evidence of Trump trying to corrupt the process.
Most of the republican congress as well as the members of the Trump administration have become co-conspirators. The godfather has given his orders, and his people must obey.
The corruption of Donald Trump.....
All of this only the tip of the iceberg, so to speak. When and if we ever know the entire truth and the full extent of the corruption is still an unknown.
However, impeachment will certainly help.

Not supporting Trump and the Trumpublican Fascist Party of the United States.

I really hope Barr and the rest of Trump's clowns end up going to jail.

Think of it as going fishing in a shimmering heat mirage...

Hannity was giddy tonight when reporting this so you know it's pure BS.

Anything that distracts from Trump's current imbroglio makes Hannity giddy.

Have any of you guys visited Fox News homepage? Not a single piece of negative Trump or GOP news lol.

Comical is the term that comes to mind in regard to how the Repubs up on the Hill are attempting to shield their president from the consequences of his own actions.

Too little too late it seems. Whatever the Repubs are up to will not change the direction that the investigation is moving in and it sure does look like Trump is headed for a really bad time of which his lawyers can't do much about.

We see what you are doing Barr, and it's not working

 

[trenchfoot]

Don't like it that the entire intel community concluded that the Russians helped Trump win?

Well history needs a rewrite then, right? And hey, did you all know that that shiny object Barr is dangling in front of the nation looks so much brighter when wearing the super duper pooper scooper red MAGA hat that the Trump online store is all of a sudden selling at bargain basement prices? Weird huh?

And did you all know that every Trumpie Bear being sold online has been dunked in miracle spring water that will mysteriously end up giving the owner a wish for money that will come true a day before the rapture and also get you on a mailing list that keeps asking you for cash to help some poor destitute televangelist pay for his shiny new jet that every televangelist worth their tearful sermonizing must have?

Well welcome to the Wonderful World of Trump Magic, where for only a hundred monthly payments of a measly $149.95 will get you a certified sheet of twitters signed by Donald himself proving how he is the greatest president that ever lived AND also explain how it was Ukraine that helped Hillary Clinton lose her attempt at winning the presidency.
