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

[Bloody Pulp]

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.

So what was the point of Mueller if we really just wanted Barr to investigate everything himself?

 

[Bloody Pulp]

Do you have legal expertise or experience studying that issue?

Yes.

No.

What I'm saying is that it makes Barr look like he's gargling someone's spray-tan groinal sack because he's not being thorough at all.

It's kind of like he's just going "Meh, it's all good for President Trump, no matter what."

 

[kpt018]

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.

Even if a decision needs to be made by the head? And in high profile, public cases? I find that hard to believe.

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.

That's a horrendous analogy.

"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.

That's really not vague.

In before Trumpsters tell Mueller that he is misreading what the Mueller Report actually says.

That's what the letter he sent in as a job application said. None of this is remotely surprising.

 

[Witchhunt]

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

Polish is not a race.

 

[kpt018]

Yes.

Such as?

 

[kpt018]

Polish is not a race.

What about the folks who were enslaved or eradicated by the Nazis?

 

[Jack V Savage]

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.

Wait, right-wingers and Trump were screaming for Rosenstein to recuse himself?

What you are saying isn’t based in reality.

 

[kpt018]

What you are saying isn’t based in reality.

Neither is what you said. I'm seeing several prosecutors come out and say they never reached a prosecutorial decision without reviewing the evidence. Appears you were talking out of your ass as suspected.

Do you?

Still wondering what @HereticBD was alluding to when he kind of dismissed that. Seems pretty black-and-white, though I thought the actual report was pretty solid, too (not that any of the Trump apologists here actually read it). The letter reads as an unambiguous rebuke.

 

[Bloody Pulp]

Yes, that’s exactly how DA’s decide which cases to prosecute. They get an overview of the facts, decide it looks good enough to go ahead with it and assign it to a deputy DA to work it.


I agree actually, just made it up while driving so didn’t think up a more fitting one. Main point stands though. It’s not uncommon or unusual for the head to not be completely involved and aware of all the goings on with all of its arms in these instances.

 

[SBJJ]

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.

So u believe Barr should have personally researched every piece of evidence in the report. This would include all of their origins.

So you'd be cool with him not releasing the report for half a year while he did that?

 

[Cake4Breakfast]

I'm done humoring you and your utter refusal to see the forest from the trees.

Have a nice day, Shit4Breakfast.

U mad bro?

Thanks for playing, and tell your mom to pack me a turkey sandwich in your lunch tomorrow.

You're right. I apologize even though Polish is a Nationality, not a Race (can't even get that right, can you?).

So I changed it to something less offensive (and more accurate).

I would expect he conducted proper due diligence before coming to a decision of this magnitude, which is reviewing evidence (not sure what you mean by "research". And it has nothing to do with releasing the report but it wouldn't take 6 months to review the evidence.
