Question for Barr: how are Flynn’s confessed lies to the FBI (repeated to the VP) not a crime, but Clinesmith changing an email (the full version of which he also sent to DOJ) is?

Senate panel told Justice Dept. of suspicions over Trump family members’ Russia testimony

https://www.washingtonpost.com/natio...9a6_story.html

The Republican and Democratic chairmen of the Senate Intelligence Committee notified federal prosecutors last year of their suspicion that several individuals, including President Trump’s family members and confidants, might have presented misleading testimony in the panel’s investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 election, people familiar with the matter said.

The list of individuals included the president’s son, Donald Trump Jr., and son-in-law, Jared Kushner, whose accounts of their pre-election meeting with a Russian lawyer were contradicted by the president’s former deputy campaign chairman Rick Gates in interviews that were part of the criminal investigation led by special counsel Robert S. Mueller III, these people said. Like others, they spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss what remains a highly politicized and sensitive matter.

Of course they lied. They’re Trumps. It’s what they do. Billy Barr, naturally, will cover this up.

Orange Shitstain retweets Russian propaganda about Biden that US intel agencies say is intended to influence 2020 election

Russia is corrupting the 2020 election, through Pootin's Puppet.

Orange Shitstain says he didn't discuss hacked emails with Roger Stone. A bipartisan Senate report says he did.
The report says the committee assessed that Trump discussed hacked emails with Roger Stone — even though Trump told Mueller he didn't recall doing so.

Senate made criminal referral of Trump Jr., Bannon, Kushner and two others to federal prosecutors
The committee detailed its concerns in a letter to the U.S. attorney’s office in Washington, D.C., in June 2019, an official said.

The Republican and Democratic chairmen of the Senate Intelligence Committee made criminal referrals of Donald Trump Jr., Jared Kushner, Steve Bannon, Erik Prince and Sam Clovis to federal prosecutors in 2019, passing along their suspicions that the men may have misled the committee during their testimony, an official familiar with the matter told NBC News.

The official confirmed reports in the Los Angeles Times and Washington Post, which reported on the matter last week. A criminal referral to the Justice Department means Congress believes a matter warrants investigation for potential violation of the law.

The committee detailed its concerns in a letter to the U.S. attorney’s office in Washington, D.C., in June 2019, the official said.

...shredded long ago by Billy Barr, no doubt...

US Senate report goes beyond Mueller to lay bare Trump campaign's Russia links
Bipartisan intelligence panel says that Russian who worked on Trump’s 2016 bid was career spy, amid a stunning range of contacts

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/...ussia-campaign

Excellent summary by The Guardian, as usual. Anyone who tells you the Trump campaign didn't collude with Russia is a liar.

I know his cult followers couldn't care less about Russia. See nothing wrong at all in using any and all means to stay in power.
Scary times ahead.

Reporting in the Atlantic:

The chairman of the Trump campaign was in daily contact with a Russian agent, constantly sharing confidential information with him.

So speaketh the bipartisan select committee.

More disappointment...

From the article:
Kilimnik was likely a participant

Was Manafort passing information to him?

The thousand-page fifth volume doesn't definitely settle the question

The truth remains elusive, even after a careful Senate investigation

What is surprising here is the treatment of Mueller by the writer.
