I will dispense with the Soviet National Anthem this year as the ‘Revolution’ is already upon us. The Democrat Party has gone full blown socialist. Remember your Marx and Engels, capitalism->socialism->communism. They say that the revolution cannot occur unless there is capitalism first to build into socialism and then communism.
The end goal is the dictatorship of the proletariat. Hayek reminds us that this dictatorship will inevitably end in the removal and destruction of personal freedom as does an autocracy. What occurs is that the complete monopolization of power then resides in a bureaucratic elite, a ‘Nomenklatura’, whose right to rule over all can never be questioned as they are the vanguard of the revolution. There can be no opposition to the elite.
Right now, a former barmaid thinks that she is the vanguard of the revolution. This is laughable on its face. She is but a tool of what has always been there. Her job is to trot out the ridiculous and make them topics for discussion; this is a softening up, to use military parlance. She is a clown placed there to take the initial flak for these outrageous ideas. The vanguard of the revolution, according to Lenin, are professional revolutionaries who are completely committed to communism as the end goal.
Dictatorship does not necessarily mean the abolition of democracy for the class that exercises the dictatorship over other classes; but it does mean the abolition of democracy (or very material restriction, which is also a form of abolition) for the class over which, or against which, the dictatorship is exercised.
— V. I. Lenin

Barr played with Sheldon Whitehouse like a cat w/a mouse.
” ‘spying’ isn’t a commonly used term” sez good ole Whitehouse, trying to head off a headline about how Barr is opening investigations into Obama spying on Trump.
“It’s commonly used by me” sez Barr
Barr had to remind one of them that Mueller reports to HIM,not the other way around. So, basically, too effing bad if Mueller is unhappy w/his press, he can piss up a rope and try to stand downstream.
But the best part – for me – is when he said that if there was never any intent to make the call on a prosecutable offense, the investigation never should have happened.
The guy is unflappable.
I think this may end up being important. Ben Sasse asked Barr to explain who Deripaska is
Barr said he’d rather not, not in an open hearing.
See, IIRC my scum senator Warner had a back channel open with that guy.
@ eaglesoars:
Apparently Barr also mentioned that they were doing to do some serious investigation into the LEAKS that were supposedly coming out of the FBI, DOJ and SC’s office. I have a feeling Schiffty, No-Nads and a few people in the MSM,not to mention Brennan and Clapper, are getting pretty damn worried right about now. Schiffty always said he had the “evidence” of collusion and yet NO ONE in the MSM is asking him since the release of the Mueller report where the hell it is. Maybe Schiffty thinks it lives in all those redactions.

Well, if Barr and Mueller were friends before this, I don’t think they are now.

Apparently they aren’t going to call Mueller in front of the Senate, which leaves it to the House.
Personally, while I realize he was inevitably ineffective in follow up POST hearing, I personally would enjoy the Republicans requesting Trey Gowdy to grill Mueller on their behalf.
Although depending on the Committee, Jim Jordan may get him pretty good. And he should give Trey a call and get some questions and follow-ups.
Sounds like Barr just told the House to piss off. He’s not testifying.
@ eaglesoars:
They want him interrogated by “staff lawyers.” This is the Attorney General of the United States, you jerks — You don’t send out some bottom third of the class in law school to question him.
After watching the way he decimated those Judiciary Committee Democrats today, they don’t want to be made to look like the bigger fools they are. So they say “we’ll have our Committee lawyers question you” which is pretty much an insult. Barr says “no” and of course they’ll make hay out it, and their willing cohorts in the media will push the narrative. And Schiffty doesn’t want Barr looking at him saying “and yes, I’m going to be investigating the leaks that came out of that investigation, since you seem to have been the recipient of many of them.
The Barbarian wrote:
Is the insult the point or is there something else going on?
@ eaglesoars:
I should think they insulted Barr by saying he isn’t worth THEIR very important Congressional time to question so they’ll let their flunkies do it. Barr, because it is an insult, says “pound sand, you question me or I don’t appear. I’m not some second-year AUSA being called up to the Hill.”
House asshats then claim Barr is in breach of their subpoena – wouldn’t surprise me if they try to “censure” him (payback for AG Meerkat in Fast and Furious) and claim he’s trying to hide something. And the MSM cohorts will gleefully report it.
After all, they were reporting the Mueller (read: Weissman) letter to Barr completely wrong.
@ The Barbarian:

Nellie Ohr was never an employee/contractor for the FBI. She was employed as a contractor by the CIA to research Russia. I wonder if she shared product the CIA paid her for with the FBI – for free, because “Hi, Honey!”. That would get her ass fired quick.
@ eaglesoars:
The comment I saw on her yesterday was that she practically had her own DESK at the FBI/DOJ.
I think the Democrats are starting to get VERY worried about the outcome of the investigation in the “Collusion” of the Obama Administration and the Clinton Campaign and the genesis of the Russia investigation, and the fact that Barr saw enough in the Mueller report to disturb him about the necessity for it in the first place. Also the leaks are going to come under scrutiny. And that is not good for those Democrat dirtbags in Congress and the media.
So what to do, what to do. Easy – get ahead of the narrative by smearing, slandering and belittling the Attorney General who is requesting it. That hearing yesterday was nothing more than the Democrats wanting an opportunity to disparage the character of the AG that is now coming after them. They could give a crap about collusion – that ship has sailed. And they have no case for obstruction – sure they’re clinging to that “Trump wouldn’t sit for an interview” but frankly if Mueller’s request for Trump statements came AFTER he knew there was no collusion – which I believe it did – then that request for an interview was nothing more than a perjury trap. Weissman’s stock in trade.
@ The Barbarian:
I want to see what they do to discredit Mueller. Barr is a sideshow, he isn’t responsible for clearing Trump of collusion.
The OTHER trap is going to come out of SDNY. Also, I saw the other day that Judge Sullivan allowed a case to go forward against Trump that uses the emoluments clause.
So it’s a lot of nothing but they can always say “Well, there are x number of investigations going on, that must mean something”.
SDNY is going to be interesting as that involves real estate and Russia. If it follows the story line that’s been thrown at me on twitter, it will start w/money laundering Putin’s dirty money.
The way it works is that these Russian mafia types that Putin allowed to make money bought units at Trump Towers for more than the market value in order to launder the money. Trump knew and ‘allowed’ it. Whether they did or didn’t I have no idea.
The thing is, Trump doesn’t own Trump Towers. Trump doesn’t own a lot of buildings with his name on them. Trump owns the NAME. He may own some of the restaurants, a couple of condo units, etc., in individual bldgs., but generally, he doesn’t own the stuff.
So he could not have profited by selling and/or operating properties he doesn’t own.
This should be fun.

A judge allowing a case to go forward isn’t all that unusual. Granting a dismissal motion allows for immediate appeal. If the 2nd Circuit grants, it will start the process all over again. We had a case where the judge granted dismissal twice and the 9th Circuit reversed twice. The third time we let the process play out through discovery and then filed a motion for summary judgment, which was granted. Plaintiffs took the appeal, and this time the 9th denied, because the record was now clear they had no case. Judge may very well be doing the same thing here.
They will get nowhere on emoluments, but I see the Congress is gearing up to pitch that ridiculous idea again as well. If there was anyone who violated the emoluments clause, it was Hillary Clinton, who was scarfing up donations to her foundation and selling future Presidential access.
Looks like the House Democrats are ranting against an empty chair where Barr was supposed to sit and be grilled by their third-tier law school graduate staffers.
Frankly, No-Nads, Clint Eastwood did it better.

Also, NEVER has a cabinet official been questioned by “staffers” at an Oversight Committee hearing. Which is what I’ve said all along. This was a move designed to force Barr not to appear because it would be demeaning to his office. No-Nads looks like an ass, especially when Barr was more than happy to appear before the SENATE and be questioned by Senators.
Oh, and this is rich – Democrats are now saying “hey, they brought in an outside attorney to question [Ballsey-Fraud] so don’t tell US this isn’t unprecedented!!” First of all, Ballsey-Fraud is not a Cabinet Level official. Second of all, it was the DEMOCRATS who forced this move when they complained about the GOP Members of the Committee were all older White men who would traumatize the poor little perjurer during her testimony.
In fact, the GOP brought in a sex crimes prosecutor, who would from her experience have more empathy for Fraud than for Kavannaugh.

CNN had to report their own poll results today showing that 54% of Americans APPROVE of the way Donald Trump is handling the Economy.
Now, since it was CNN, you just know they skewed the sample size and type to produce results showing that the populace does not believe the economy is getting better or is stagnant or whatever. That they got THESE results tells me that the actual percentage is probably much, much higher.
And it’s the Economy that’s No. 1 for people. And Democrats and that silly idiot Biden are going to run AGAINST it???
By the way, now that the cat is out of the bag on how the Obama Administration refused to do anything about Russian interference when they were told it was happening, they now are blaming Mitch McConnell saying he prevented Obama from doing anything about it.

What did Susan Rice give the ‘stand down’ order about again?

———————————–
Baker’s book also gives new insight into why Obama was so hesitant about criticizing Russia for meddling in the 2016 election before vote took place.
Obama was led by his ‘cautious don’t-do-stupid-s**t instincts’ and feared that a forceful response would make Russia ‘escalate’ its operation.
Then there was the question of how Trump would react and Obama admitted that ‘if I speak out more, he’ll just say it’s rigged’.
Obama wrongly assumed that Clinton would win the election and Obama said in one meeting that Russian President Vladimir Putin ‘backed the wrong horse’.
In the end Obama would wait until after the election result before expelling Russian diplomats and it was only weeks before he left office that he released the intelligence assessment confirming that the hacking was done the Kremlin.

This must be the day of the week that you only work one job. I trust you are well and that your daughter is in school. My humble opinion is that Trump will be elected 2020 even with all the crooks and liars around him. More dirt will pile up around the dems. Most people still do not appreciate the monsters he has had to fight in order to protect Americans. Yet even some of the critics have to recognize that they have a strong leader. They worry that he is unpredictable.
The Chinese respect him for that very thing even if they are not allies.
I think the Brits wish they had a Donald Trump to fight for independence from the grubby tyrants at the EU. Liberal Canadians consider themselves above Trump. So they got a greedy, stupid, corrupt Trudeau who never held a job. There must be something in our water…
