I'm just going to drop this right...smack... HERE:

? ? ? 420,000+ SEALED INDICTMENTS!

Just to provide some perspective, typically in a given year there are about 1,000 at any time.

FOUR HUNDRED AND TWENTY THOUSAND!!

And it keeps growing and growing.

In 2018, the number was closer to 200,000. I think they added 50k just from the midterms.

That's why this is taking so long.

We've all seen the ankle monitors and "boot" pics on dozens of cabal players...likely cooperating and playing their parts in this incredible movie.

Did anyone watch the Durham hearing? He could barely wipe that grin off his face because he knows what's coming.

AND...for people who really LISTEN (like me), he hinted at what's coming when he said, "I'm not going to talk about matters that have been referred to the grand jury."

Wait...whaaaat??? What grand jury??

That's right, Durham isn't the only game in town.

And WHEN that hammer drops, it's going to be...

BIBLICAL!!

"What storm, Mister President?"

Why watch the FAKE NEWS and LIE AND LIE when all you need is Sheriff Joe!

Trump, Barr feud reaches fever pitch​

Trump, Barr feud reaches fever pitch

The escalating feud between former President Trump and his one-time Attorney General Bill Barr is reaching a fever pitch, with Trump’s indictment on federal charges last week adding accelerant to what had already been a fiery break between the two men.
Barr has been among the most prominent conservatives or former Trump administration officials to publicly criticize their former boss’s behavior and vouch for the strength of the federal indictment against him, undercutting defenses offered up by Trump and his allies.
Barr has called special counsel Jack Smith’s indictment “damning,” dismissed Trump’s defenses as “absurd,” and compared Trump to a “defiant 9-year-old kid.”
In response, Trump has called Barr a “gutless pig,” a “RINO,” meaning Republican in Name Only, and a “coward,” reserving some of his harshest language for the man he once praised as “one of the most respected jurists in the country.”

“So nice to see that Sloppy, Low Energy RINO Bill Barr, gets loudly booed and shouted at everywhere he goes! He is sooo bad for America,” Trump wrote Tuesday on his Truth Social platform.

Barr served as Trump’s attorney general for two years before resigning in December 2020, when he first broke with Trump as the former president pushed claims that the 2020 election was rigged and fraudulent. Barr had declared that the Justice Department he oversaw at the time found no basis to claims of widespread voter fraud that led to Trump’s election loss.
In the past year in particular, Barr has emerged as an outspoken critic of his former boss, testifying before the House panel investigating the Jan. 6 riots at the Capitol and becoming one of the most outspoken Republicans regarding the seriousness of the FBI search of Mar-a-Lago last August to retrieve classified documents from Trump’s time in the White House.
The indictment details that Trump sought to retain documents containing some of the nation’s most sensitive secrets, including the withholding of national defense information and the concealment of his possession of classified documents. Trump has pleaded not guilty to the charges.
In an op-ed published Monday in The Free Press, Barr laid out the facts of the documents case and pushed back on Trump’s various defenses, including that he had a right to keep the classified material under the Presidential Records Act and that he’s the victim of a double standard.
“For the sake of the country, our party, and a basic respect for the truth, it is time that Republicans come to grips with the hard truths about President Trump’s conduct and its implications,” Barr wrote. “Chief among them: Trump’s indictment is not the result of unfair government persecution. This is a situation entirely of his own making. The effort to present Trump as a victim in the Mar-a-Lago document affair is cynical political propaganda.”
Trump has been particularly irate at Barr in the roughly two weeks since he announced he’d been indicted in the documents case, lashing out on Truth Social, savaging him on a radio show hosted by political operative and Trump ally Roger Stone and again targeting his former attorney general in an interview conducted Monday.

Trump slams Bill Barr as ‘a coward who didn’t do his job’

“Bill Barr was a coward. Bill Barr didn’t do what he was supposed to do. I fired him. And he has great hatred,” Trump said in a Fox News interview aired Monday. “And that’s OK, because some people do. And some people love me very much.”
Trump’s ire is consistent with his habit of dumping on officials he previously nominated or appointed who have since criticized him in some way.
In Monday’s interview, Fox anchor Bret Baier noted that Barr, former Defense Secretary Mark Esper, former Vice President Mike Pence, former national security adviser John Bolton and former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo are among those who have questioned Trump’s judgment or character in some way since the end of his administration.
Baier also listed to Trump a litany of insults the former president has issued to each of those former officials in return.

Those who previously worked under Barr in the Justice Department have argued that he is committed to the rule of law and issues of national security. They also noted that he has been far more outspoken in defending probes led by the DOJ, a department he led under two different presidents.
Others have noted that there are political factors at play as well. The former attorney general is a dedicated, longtime Republican who has made it clear he would like to see the GOP move on from Trump.
“I think Barr is trying to cleanse himself of his Trump association, which is not likely to work with anyone who paid attention to what he did for Trump as AG,” said Alan Morrison, a law professor at George Washington University. “I also think that he is trying to get Republicans to move away from Trump as the best means of taking the White House in 2024.”
In an interview Sunday on CBS, Barr again made the case that Trump is unfit to serve another term in the White House.
“He will always put his own interests, and gratifying his own ego, ahead of everything else, including the country’s interest. There’s no question about it,” Barr said.
“Our country can’t be a therapy session for, you know, a troubled man like this,” Barr said.

Trump definitely had NO authority to declassify Document 19 Whatta sack of shit, literally and figuratively: I can just SEE him sitting on the bowl while he holds a Big Mac in ONE hand and those fucking documents in the other. ​

When Donald Trump was indicted for absconding with classified documents, the most common defense we’ve heard from his supporters was that Trump had every right to those document by virtue of the president’s broad authority to declassify material.
But a number of national security experts told Reuters that there’s at least one document for which that defense doesn’t hold water. Namely, Document 19 of the 31 listed in the indictment—a secret document related to nuclear weapons. That document can only be declassified through a process governed by a 70-year-old statute—a process overseen by the Department of Energy and the Pentagon, not the president.

Document 19 was described as “FRD,” or “Formerly Restricted Data,” which is a designation for secret information about nuclear weapons. But that doesn’t mean that the document had been declassified.

The most sensitive nuclear weapons information is classified as "RD," for Restricted Data, and covers warhead designs and uranium and plutonium production, according to a DOE guide entitled “Understanding Classification.”
The Department of Energy downgrades from RD to FRD nuclear weapons data it needs to share with the Pentagon, but the materials remain classified, experts said.
Materials classified as FRD include data on the U.S. arsenal size, the storage and safety of warheads, their locations and their yields or power, according to the guide.

Documents classed as FRD cannot be declassified by the president alone. Rather, under the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, there is a process by which the secretaries of Energy and Defense to determine whether the FRD designation “may be removed,” according to a Justice Department FAQ. According to National Security Archive director Thomas Blanton, while a president can ask for an FRD designation to be removed, that process “takes forever.”
Blanton isn’t the only national security expert who believes that as a result of this law, there is no way Trump himself could declassify that document.

“The claim that he (Trump) could have declassified it is not relevant in the case of the nuclear weapons information because it was not classified by executive order but by law,” said Steven Aftergood, a government secrecy expert with the Federation of American Scientists.
The special status of nuclear-related information further erodes what many legal experts say is a weak defense centered around declassification. Without providing evidence, Trump has claimed he declassified the documents before removing them from the White House.

Aftergood added that there are rules that govern where and how FRD material is to be stored—and “sticking it in your bathroom would not qualify.”
One of the few national security experts who thinks Trump actually has a leg to stand on with this document is David Jonas, the general counsel of the National Nuclear Security Administration under George W. Bush. Jonas believes in the “unitary executive theory,” which holds that the president has sole authority over the executive branch—and hence can “declassify anything that is nuclear information.” Au contraire, says Elizabeth Goitein of the Brennan Center for Law and Justice. Goitein argues that Congress has the right to limit presidential power in national security, meaning that “there is no question it can legislate in this area.”
When MeidasTouch legal analyst Michael Popok learned about this document, he concluded that it could potentially be turned into a battering ram that would obliterate most of Trump’s defenses. Watch here.

Popok points out that under the Atomic Energy Act, nuclear documents are automatically classified—and can only be declassified by the process delineated in the act. He believes that even if he can convince a judge or a jury that he could unilaterally declassify documents, he has no authority to declassify Document 19—and that is enough to send Trump to prison for up to 20 years.
If I’m reading this right, this charge alone eliminates any even remotely defensible reason to pardon Trump. How do you justify pardoning a president who played fast and loose with nuclear documents?
