"THE IRONY OF GLENN GREENWALD CUDDLING UP WITH BILL BARR, THE GRANDFATHER OF ED SNOWDEN’S PHONE DRAGNET"
"Glenn Greenwald, who has written two books about the abuse of Presidential power, continues to dig in on his factually ignorant claims about the Mueller report. For days, he and the denialists said that if Mueller’s report was being misrepresented by Bill Barr, Mueller would speak up. Now that Mueller’s team has done so, Glenn complains that these are anonymous leaks and nevertheless only address obstruction, not a conspiracy with Russia on the election.
Glenn and his lackeys in the denialist crowd who continue to willfully misrepresent the public evidence have yet to deal with the fact that Mueller has already presented evidence that Paul Manafort conspired with Russian Konstantin Kilimnik on the election, but that they weren’t able to substantiate and charge it because Manafort lied. Mueller’s team say they believe Manafort did so in hopes and expectation that if he helped Trump and denialists like Glenn sustain a “no collusion” line, he might get a pardon. That is, we know that Trump’s offers of pardons — his obstruction — specifically prevented Mueller from pursuing a fairly smoking gun incident where Trump’s campaign manager coordinated with Russians on the hack-and-leak.
As Glenn once professed to know with respect to Scooter Libby’s obstruction, if someone successfully obstructs an investigation, that may mean the ultimate culprit in that investigation escapes criminal charge."
What you call excuses for Trump are simply calling [BS] on your contrived TDS porn.
Trump won. We're stuck with him. Get over it & beat him at the ballot box with ideas.
Meanwhile, I look forward to the reckoning for Deep State apparatchiks who abused the powers of their positions against their fellow citizens.
Hillary lost, IMO, because enough Dem and Independent voters in enough key states, found her to be phony, elitist, and possibly corrupt. They didn't trust her to tell the truth, to not be more interested in herself than the country.
Sure, the Russians and FoxNation and the rest of the right wing blogosphere contributed to these crucial voter's perceptions, but the responsibility for that perception was her own doing. Maybe some Bill thrown in.
Certainly the endless hearings and investigations from the GOP Congress hurt, and contributed to these perceptions.
She lost at the ballot box, not in an indictment or even in an investigation.
That's what's coming for Trump.
Very few voters believe he's honest, a large % believe he's deeply corrupt and that his Administration is corrupt. They're right.
That's going to get pounded on up to Election Day, reinforcing again and again what a slime ball he really is.
And that's going to cost him crucial voters in those states. Enough to lose those normally blue states that turned red against HRC.
The first step those voters took was flipping the House, enabling the oversight that's coming. It'll be ugly, but the voters spoke clearly.
At least as long as the Dems don't put up someone with a profile that blunts those issues, ala HRC. But doesn't look like they'll make that mistake this time. "Too progressive" will matter to the Trumpist crowd but not to honest R's and I's, the key voters Trump can't afford to lose.
. ...sore losers. When all else fails, attack the messenger.
