I was thinking more along the lines of Rats leaving a sinking ship.

After three years of non-stop lying and gaslighting emanating from this administration, the missus and I are experiencing no small measure of 'schadenfreude' here at Chez Bob.

I just hope that the Orange boil doesn't get a sweetheart deal like Nixon did. This country needs a thorough cleansing, from the NRA's money laundering schemes of Russian bribes to American politicians to all of Trumpco's malfeasance in office.

Donny’s boy Billy Barr is in this muck up to his eyeballs. He’s every bit as corrupt as Donny and Rudy.

‘Pure insanity’: Intelligence veterans are floored by Barr’s ‘off the books’ overtures to foreign officials about the Russia probe

https://www.businessinsider.sg/intel...rigins-2019-9/

Intelligence veterans were puzzled by revelations that Attorney General William Barr personally urged foreign officials to cooperate with a Justice Department investigation into the origins of the Russia probe.

“This is unheard of,” one former senior Justice Department official who worked closely with the former special counsel Robert Mueller when he was FBI director, told Insider.

The Washington Post reported that Barr has already made overtures to British intelligence officials about the matter and traveled to Italy last week to ask senior Italian officials to cooperate with the inquiry.

The New York Times reported that Barr also asked President Donald Trump to ask the Australian prime minister to cooperate with the investigation. And Trump named Barr as his personal envoy when making a similar request in July to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

“There are people at DOJ whose whole job is to coordinate investigative efforts with foreign governments,” a longtime former federal prosecutor told Insider. “Makes a person wonder why Barr didn’t trust them to do this stuff. Something he didn’t trust career-DOJ people to do? Something more political than justice-related?”

Precisely what Donny brought Billy on board to do. Corrupt as the day is long.

Intelligence community watchdog debunks whistleblower conspiracy pushed by Trump and other Republicans

https://www.cnn.com/2019/09/30/polit...int/index.html

The intelligence community inspector general is forcefully pushing back against assertions made by President Donald Trump and several Republican lawmakers about the whistleblower complaint that has rocked Washington in recent weeks.

In a rare statement released Monday, the inspector general addressed a false claim pushed by Trump and some of his allies on Capitol Hill, including House GOP leader Kevin McCarthy of California and Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, that the whistleblower lacked firsthand knowledge of the conduct outlined in the complaint and therefore the allegations were based on "hearsay." But the statement from the inspector general made clear that the whistleblower was not simply communicating secondhand knowledge.

"The whistleblower stated on the form that he or she possessed both first-hand and other information," the statement read. "The ICIG reviewed the information provided as well as other information gathered and determined that the complaint was both urgent and that it appeared credible. "

Sorry Donny & Repubes. Your BS doesn't hold water.

I’m concerned with aspects of the Committee’s request that can be understood only as an attempt to intimidate, bully, & treat improperly the distinguished professionals of the Department of State, including several career FSOs

Uh huh. You’re Donny’s boy, and will do anything to obstruct justice to protect Donny. With any luck, you, too, will wind up behind bars where you belong.
