Sandbox - 18apr19

[Well boys and girls, let's all talk about the released Mueller report (here).  After explaining a year or two that collusion by itself is neither nefarious nor illegal, and conspiracy is surreptitious collusion with intent to harm, I smiled this morning as the NPR mavens awakened to that important distinction in their aspirations about AG Barr's talk and press conference this morning.  Your task, should you be so inclined, is to find in this entertaining aftermath even a smidgen of common ground for healing the land.  gjr]

Good news. For eleven bucks, you can buy the free Mueller Report from the Wa Compost with, of course, an intro written by two Post liars to tell you what to think. What a bargain! Pimp my ride.

It’s amazing how adapt the DNC media is at predicting everything in the report and the fallout before one word has been read. Such seers. The DNC Media’s credibility is their stock and trade. Unfortunately, they have no stock to trade.

Let the spin games begin. It’s a threat to our Democracy!

Embarrassing typo @9:22am. Holding Barr’s horse, not holing. I offer no excuses and accept full responsibility.

Mueller's report is defiantly a hand off to Congress. Look for Mueller to testify asap. Chances of impeachment are increasing because of the plethora of evidence of Presidential misconduct. Since Trump will not be re-elected, Congress may decide on an endless drip drip of investigations and revelations to seal the deal. Presidential Sleaze has reached a crescendo surpassing Clintons "not sex" servicing in the White House and even Nixons "I am not a crook" spouting.

Presidential loyalty will be tested so don't be surprised if a viable Republican Presidential candidate may emerge as an option if Trump is declared down and out by the American voters.

From my lens Mueller, by claiming he does not have the authority to indict the President on anything, is saying that he's leaving up to Congress to decide on a path forward which may lead to impeachment. Remember, Mueller specifically does not exonerate Trump on obstruction of justice charges.

The Barr press conference. A quick take from someone with a judicial temperment and who is without TDS.

“That is why Barr laid out the facts that the president could have shut down the investigation but did not; that he could have asserted executive privilege to withhold information from the investigation, but instead made numerous witnesses and well over a million documents available to the special counsel; and that – reportedly according to Mueller – the president sincerely felt frustrated that the investigation was unfairly undermining his presidency. The point is that these facts so cut against the idea of corruptly impeding an investigation that it is inconceivable the prosecutor could prove an obstruction case beyond a reasonable doubt.”

“A final thought on this. The problem we have when a prosecutor makes a decision that implicates politics is that an unreal standard is imposed. For a prosecutor, either there is enough evidence of a crime or there is not. There is no gray area in between. But in reality, there is more gray area than anything else. The fact that no crime is found does not mean the underlying conduct merits our endorsement. It is common sense that we can conclude the president did not handle each of the ten incidents in a way we find admirable, and at the same time agree that the president’s conduct was not felonious.

“Common sense is in short supply, though.”

“I guess they fall back on the “where there’s smoke there’s fire” trope, but that is not always the case. Sometimes there’s just smoke. Sometimes someone turned on a smoke machine.

“This didn’t stop every major media outlet from running with the “10 episodes” of potential obstruction narrative. And because there were so many, that must mean Trump actually obstructed an investigation into a crime that didn’t exist.”

Trumps memory problems:

Add senility to the list of Trumps mental decencies.

"Trump told special counsel Robert Mueller's investigators on more than 30 occasions that he did not recall, remember or have independent memories of key events throughout the Russia investigation, leading Mueller's team to deem his written responses to questions “inadequate.”

In his detailed report on the probe, released to the public Thursday, Mueller revealed for the first time the results of his written interview with Trump. The special counsel’s questions covered Trump’s knowledge of the June 2016 Trump Tower meeting, Russian hacking during the election, the Trump Organization’s Moscow project and contacts with Russia during the 2016 election and transition.

Trump wrote to investigators he had “no recollection of learning at the time” about the June 2016 meeting between his son, son-in-law, campaign chairman and Russians who offered dirt on Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, “nor do I recall” learning of it during the campaign."

I contend he has an astounding lack of memory that could be considered senility or he's lying.

Here's an example:

"I was in Trump Tower in New York City on October 7, 2016. I have no recollection of being told that WikiLeaks possessed or might possess emails related to John Podesta before the release of Mr. Podesta's emails was reported by the media. Likewise, I have no recollection of being told that Roger Stone, anyone acting as an intermediary for Roger Stone, or anyone associated with my campaign had communicated with WikiLeaks on October 7, 2016I do not recall having had any discussion during the campaign regarding a pardon or action to benefit Julian Assange. "

How can you "not recall" such a monumental events? He didn't say it did or didn't happen he just said he "can't recall.

A quick question:

do you consider Trump to be mentally and emotionally fit to be President?

[Bill Tozer]

Well, it is sorta sad to see the Leftinistas contiinue to carry Putin’s water. Just think of all the free meddling the Russians are getting and sowing discord without lifting a finger. I bet Putin is rolling on the floor laughing his punchy off right now. Fact is stranger than fiction.

In Mueller they trust. Good read from our next Woodward and Bernstein, John Solomon.

“One inherent message of the first volume of the Mueller report is clear: It is time for the professional media to assume responsibility for its role in inflaming the public with a scandal that wasn’t proven, by endlessly quoting intelligence and partisan political sources whose claims went far beyond the evidence it slithered upon.

“Case closed. Russiagate was no Watergate.

“Because Trump refused an interview with Mueller, on the advice of his attorneys, the only state-of-mind evidence that prosecutors had directly from him came from the president’s interview with NBC News’s Lester Holt, just a few days after the president fired then-FBI Director James Comey.

“In that interview, Trump made clear that he did not want to stop the Russia investigation and actually expected his actions would elongate it.

“His motive, he said, was simply to get a more competent person in charge so that the probe would be “absolutely done properly” and the outcome would be the “right thing for the American people.”

“That’s hardly the intentions of an obstructive criminal kingpin.

Yes, Shepard Smith was today, as he often is, pretty rough on Barr and Trump, too. Smith's reporting is one of the many ways that Fox News Channel is far more "fair and balanced" than any of their counterparts. To characterize this as FNC "bailing" on anything or anybody, however, is blatantly biased reporting and just plain wrong.

[Gregory]

I think the Constitution placed the decision of who should be President into the people voting in November 2016. I voted for Gary Johnson and not a single elector was selected as a result of my vote. In California, a large majority of the people voted for Hillary Clinton, who got all of California's electors, but across the country, Trump won more electors, and he became the duly elected President.

Paul, and people both crazier and more sane than Paul, have, since the Nov '16 election, have campaigned against the result of the last election demanding the choice be rescinded. That hasn't worked so far, has it, Paul?

Paul and friends appear not to be willing to stop the failed bid to invalidate the last election.

Either way Gregory. Hard to tell which. Do you think it's normal to forget details of such monumental events? Gosh and Golly, some executives even keep notes. Which is it, Trump is senile or is lying?

[Gregory]

Why do "some executives keep notes" if it isn't normal to forget details?

In fact, if I'm hazy on details of who, what, where, how and why and a committee of 19 lawyers who hated me enough to give lots of money to my opposition are asking me detailed questions under power of great authority in what was the busiest period of my life... I'd probably say I didn't remember the details.

I often keep notes. But ask me something about what happened a year or two ago that I didn't keep notes on, I might not remember. Especially if my answer, if wrong, might be construed to be perjury. In fact, especially if it could be a perjury trap in the first place.

Ok. The argument to impeach Trump. Trump, with his Article II powers, maybe obstructed a fake Russian collusion witch-hunt into an outsider who was duly elected President of the United States started by insiders from either the FBI or DOJ or Clinton or NSA or CIA or all of the above with absolutely no evidence even though Mueller, who hired nearly all Democrat insider operatives who wanted to get Trump, found absolutely no collusion (none) and could not even bring the obstruction charge in the first place. That’s just silly.

What would you replace the Union with Walt?

[Ozz]

Paul-
Pretty sure the Völkischer Beobachter would be high on the list for Ruminant reading if the Union went tits up.

Could I suggest High Times for Bessee so he can learn that the multiple of dab is dab, not dabs. But I like it when he struts his his street talk - he makes such a fool of himself.

[Don Bessee]

Well Paul,, some low rent penny saver could pop up and do a better job. HELL!! Isn't some micro brew in the place where printing presses used to be? Or it a honey oil lab now?

Ever since Jeff left the place has gone down hill on skates.

Any print media run by LIBs has been on life support.

Ackerman or that other jeff @738?

[Walt]

Ackerman. The Union ran like a Swiss watch, and we actually found out when happened in this county.

Ozz 655pm - Are you able to connect the dots for your assertion about the Völkischer Beobachten, or is that just the latest of your unfounded and undefendable assertions - i.e. commonly known as hot air?

[Walt]

Need some news Emery? You won't read this in the fish wrap.
Not a good week for Four Seasons landscaping. First they turn over a truck,(ya,, that was reported) and Yesterday they lose a another load. The trailer box fell off the rails and dumped ten yards of compost along Allison Ranch road.(not in the rag)
Fisher towing is getting real good at picking up dump trucks, and dump truck parts out of ditches.
If you need some good dirt for your weed, it's there for the taking.

Well George,, I hope the email I have for you is still good.
I will send you a picture or two on my travels. They will be GEO tagged, so you can find exactly where they were took. Post them if you care to.
Now where did I put those gas masks? I hear CS gas might be in the air in London.

Daily Quotes

Upright: “Speech is not violence — and violence is not speech. Equating the two is the hallmark of a tyrannical worldview: If I can treat your speech as violence, then I am justified in using violence to suppress your speech. And yet that obvious fallacy has become the rallying cry in defense of execrable Rep. Ilhan Omar.” —Ben Shapiro

Non sequitur: “There are charities that we’ve donated to that we’ve recorded and itemized, others that we’ve donated to that we have not. I’ll tell you, I’m doing everything I can right now, spending this time with you, not with our kiddos, not back home in El Paso, because I want to sacrifice everything to make sure that we meet this moment of truth with everything we’ve got.” —Beto O'Rourke on why he gave less than 1% to charity in 2017

Braying Jenny: “Our GND [Green New Deal] rollout was really difficult. And it was done in a way that … it was really easy to hijack the narrative around it. It was, like, too fast. … I actually think the resolution itself is very solid, but … there were, like, competing documents that were rolled out, some prematurely, that muddied the waters. … It was just frustrating. Just intensely frustrating.” —Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

Braying Jackass: “I think ‘Abolish ICE’ is a call to action on several levels. One is the literal interpretation of all abolishing ICE, which I support… I don’t believe that an agency that systematically and repeatedly violates human rights … can be reformed.” —Ocasio-Cortez

Demo-gogues: “Most Americans don’t want the conservative agenda that we’re now seeing, the extreme agenda that we’re seeing in Washington. In fact, it is precisely for that reason that they have to interfere with democracy, with things like voter suppression or clinging on an Electoral College that overrules the will of the American people. It is precisely because the American people, by and large, don’t want what they’re selling. … They are relying on manipulations of our political structure in order to keep their agenda in play.” —Mayor Pete Buttigieg

Race bait: “I’m saddened that the beautiful cathedral in France was damaged. But this is a prime example of privilege. … I’m also saddened that Black churches in Louisiana were burned down. I’m sure they held significance as well. They were barely acknowledged.” —Cincinnati councilwoman Tamaya Dennard

And last… “Where’s the outrage for the pressure that we put on a 17-year-old to borrow $100,000 [for college]? So much of that pressure comes from their mom and dad. It’s well-intended, but it’s kind of tragic. And where’s the outrage for the guidance counselors who continually say the best path for the most people just happens to be the most expensive? And the politicians and the lobbyists who exacerbate the same myth and the employers who still insist on only interviewing people with a four-year degree? … College is expensive because we’ve freed up an unlimited pile of free money and told an entire generation they were doomed to fail if they didn’t borrow it, and that’s happened in every single tax bracket, not just the top one. … Seven million jobs are available now. Most of them don’t require a four-year-degree. They require training. And yet we’re obsessed, not really with education, you know. What we are obsessed with is credentialing. And so people are buying diplomas. And they’re buying their degrees. It’s a diploma dilemma, honestly. It’s expensive. It is getting worse. It’s not just the kids holding the note. It is us.” —Mike Rowe

Beto is yesterday’s news. Mayor Pete sends the tingle up their legs. I know, I know. Beto felt like JFK, but Mayor Pete feels like JFK even more. Beto got dumped for the new kid on the block. The problem with Beto is he lost to the guy that Trump beat. Major Peter has no such track record.

Walt - looking forward to the pics.

BillT 806pm - I wonder if Mayor Buttgig can supply even a little bit of evidence of what he is charging the Right. Give us an example of any of that.

[Bill Tozer]

Not to beat a dead horse into the ground, but.....
This is the best summary I have read obliterating item by item the breathless conspiracy theories we have been forced to endure for the last couple of years, plus. Well worth a skim of the facts.highlighted in yellow. The Conclusion after the itemized exhaustive list:

“THE NATURE OF OUR POLITICAL DISCOURSE is that nobody ever needs to admit error because it is easy to confine oneself to strictly partisan precincts where people are far more interested in hearing what advances their agenda or affirms their beliefs than they are hearing the truth. For that reason, I doubt that anyone who spent the last three years pushing utterly concocted conspiracy theories will own up to it, let alone confront any accountability or consequences for it.

“But certain facts will never go away no matter how much denial they embrace. The sweeping Mueller investigation ended with zero indictments of zero Americans for conspiring with Russia over the 2016 election. Both Donald Trump, Jr. and Jared Kushner – the key participants in the Trump Tower meeting – testified for hours and hours yet were never charged for perjury, lying or obstruction, even though Mueller proved how easily he would indict anyone who lied as part of the investigation. And this massive investigation simply did not establish any of the conspiracy theories that huge parts of the Democratic Party, the intelligence community and the U.S. media spent years encouraging the public to believe.

“Those responsible for this can refuse to acknowledge wrongdoing. They can even claim vindication if they want and will likely be cheered for doing so.

“But the contempt in which the media and political class is held by so much of the U.S. population – undoubtedly a leading factor that led to Trump’s election in the first place – will only continue to grow as a result, and deservedly so. People know they were scammed, that their politics was drowned for years by a hoax. And none of that will go away no matter how insulated media and political elites in Washington, northern Virginia, Brooklyn, and large West Coast cities keep themselves, and thus hear only in-group affirmation while blocking out all of that well-earned scorn.”

George. It is a straw man. All of the left’s arguments are state men. Racist white men. Homophobes on the right. Russia collusion. Now obstruction. Conservative men hate women. Lol. Create a straw man and beat him up.

AP is totally biased. My takeaway is Trump is exonerated. AP and the media and Mueller would not know about that private discussion if Trump imposed Executive Privilege or his attorney-client rights. But he decided to give everything to Mueller and this is the payback? Disgusting. Trump is the most transparent President ever. Now we need to go get the deep state scum that started the hoax and put them in jail for life. Obama and all of them.
