THE REPORT, buttoned up (SCO Thread v. 33)

[Bloody Pulp]

Savage. I also thought her line of questioning where she established Barr made a decision about obstruction without reviewing the evidence was damning.

Harris took his soul.

Also, every single Republican outside of Sasse was shameful.

The funny part is she knows, as a former prosecutor, that what she was trying to make sound nefarious or incompetent is standard operating procedure for every District Attorney and head of department everywhere.

 

[Jack V Savage]

When one finally admits to something that is.............coming clean

Why are you saying "admits"?

Your word choices are suggesting that her judgment on that issue is something she's only reluctantly admitting, which suggests a whole line of thinking her that I'm not seeing. Do you understand what I'm asking?

 

[SBJJ]

He was confirmed 94-6, bruh. Harris voted against him.

Of the six Democrats who voted against ending debate on Rosenstein’s nomination earlier this week, four — Sens. Cory Booker (N.J.), Kirsten Gillibrand (N.Y.), Kamala Harris (Calif.) and Elizabeth Warren (Mass.) — are considered potential 2020 White House contenders.

Lol. That's not what you claimed

Show me any sources showing any Democrat demanded Rosenstein recuse himself

What is? That heads of departments don't review underlying evidence?

This is her first time ever bringing this up. This is not something she has showed concern for while Trump was.

So again, finally admitting something Trump and right wingers have been screaming about is...........coming clean.

Let's be real, she does not even realize what she did here.

Do you follow?

And now for some Ted Cruz moments :


"I think this hearing today has been quite revealing," Cruz said.

"A word that occurred almost none at all is Russia," he said.

"Their argument is as follows, you released a four-page summary of the conclusion," Cruz said.

"Instead a few weeks later, you released a few hundred pages," Cruz said.

"Their entire argument is General Barr you submitted the report and their complaint is that it was delayed a few weeks," Cruz continued.

"If that is their argument I have to say that is an exceptionally weak argument," Cruz said as Barr laughed.

 

[Fawlty]

"The summary letter...did not fully capture the context, nature, and substance of this Office's work and conclusions. We communicated that concern [to you]. There is now public confusion about critical aspects of the results of our investigation. This threatens to undermine a central purpose for which the Department appointed the Special Counsel: to assure full public confidence in the outcome of the investigations."

That's what Mueller said to Barr. There is no spin, that's very damning.

Maybe it's because he's kpt018's daddy or something?

Do you have legal expertise or experience studying that issue?

 

[SBJJ]

What is? That heads of departments don't review underlying evidence?

No. That was the job of Mueller. And he trusted his prosecutor

 

[PolishHeadlock2]

Did Barr even read the entire Mueller report?

 

[kpt018]

No. That was the job of Mueller. And he trusted his prosecutor

I'm very skeptical. The decision was for Barr to make. I can see a scenario where he relies on Mueller's judgement if he concluded either way (like he did on conspiracy) but not in a case where the decision fell to Barr (on obstruction).

If it was my call I'm reviewing the fucking evidence, especially in a case that involves the most powerful man in the world and is highly visible.

 

[vengeful]

Lol. That's not what you claimed

Show me any sources showing any Democrat demanded Rosenstein recuse himself

https://democrats.org/press/dnc-on-rosensteins-recusal-from-russia-probe/

“Rod Rosenstein has no choice but to recuse himself from this investigation, but it would be unacceptable for him to simply hand over control to another Trump appointee. After Trump’s repeated attempts to enlist top law enforcement officials to interfere in the investigation, there is no reason to believe that anyone within the administration could be effectively insulated from his influence. In order to ensure its independence, the probe should be taken out of the hands of any political appointee and Mueller should be given full control.”

Official stance of the DNC on the matter. That counts as democrats to you?

 

[kpt018]

Maybe it's because he's Polish or something?

You should be banned for that. And I never call for it but that's racist.

 

[Bloody Pulp]

What is? That heads of departments don't review underlying evidence?

Correct. The deputy district attorneys/investigators handle the actual investigations and evidence. The DA themself doesn’t get involved in the cases and researching all the evidence outside of perhaps providing a summary to media at the conclusion of a high profile case or something like that.

It’s like arguing that the CEO of Walmart doesn’t know how many gummy snacks come in a box of fruit snacks and what it costs. He’s got people for that.

 

[Strychnine]

Do you think a District Attorney reviews the evidence of every case every deputy district attorney prosecutes under him?

In a case as high-profile as THIS involving whether or not the President Of The United States committed high crimes and misdemeanors?!?!?

Nah. He shouldn't have looked at any of it.

 

[Strychnine]

You are then saying he should not believe the Mueller Report

I'm saying that maybe...

Just maybe...

He could've done his due diligence. You know that thing that his oath of office alluded to.
