Let's talk about the incontrovertible timeline of sinister behavior
which includes Bill Barr's perjury before Congress about whether or not
he knew of Robert Mueller's frustration with his March 24th 4 page
summary of the 448 page Mueller Report!

Arrest Trump AG Barr If He Resists Subpoena
Former Clinton Labor secretary Robert Reich says Trump’s Attorney
General Bill Barr should be arrested and put in jail if he refuses to
cooperate with Democrats in Congress. Reich tells The Beat, if Barr
doesn’t comply with a congressional subpoena the public must think of it
as “a constitutional crisis”.

"The American people know that you are no different from Rudy Giuliani
or Kellyanne Conway or any of the other people who sacrificed their once
decent reputation for the grifter and liar who sits in the Oval
Office," says Sen. Hirono to AG Barr in a contentious exchange.

Robert Mueller Blasted AG Barr For Distorting His Report
By Red Painter
Shortly after Barr released his 4 page summary, Mueller wrote a sharply worded letter blasting Barr for completely spinning his findings
Shortly after Barr released his 4 page summary, Mueller wrote a sharply worded letter blasting Barr for completely spinning his findings
Mueller and his team are clearly livid at how Bill Barr handled
the roll out of their 448 report. From his bungled 4 page letter,
declaring his client, Donald Trump, cleared of all crimes, to the
heavily redacted 448 page report a month later with Barr's press
conference, Barr has acted to protect Donald Trump and not as the
country's Attorney General.
The Washington Post is reporting that Mueller wrote a letter in late March to Bill Barr complaining that the 4 page letter he wrote “did not fully capture the context, nature, and substance” of the Special Counsel's work. The Washington Post reports that they have a copy of the letter and were able to review it.
The letter was written immediately after Barr stated that Mueller had found no conspiracy between Trump and Russia and that Mueller had not reached a conclusion regarding whether Trump had obstructed justice.
The letter was so out of the ordinary and revealed a "dissatisfaction with the public discussion of Mueller’s work that it shocked senior Justice Department officials.".
In the letter, Mueller wrote:
The letter also requested that Barr release the entire 448 page report, introductions, and executive summaries.
The Washington Post further reports that DOJ officials were "taken aback by the tone of Mueller’s letter" and that they were surprised he expressed concerns. It is reported that Barr and Mueller spoke the day after Barr received the letter. Officials say that in the call, Mueller expressed concern "that news coverage of the obstruction investigation was misguided and creating public misunderstandings about the office’s work." Barr reportedly "took issue" with Mueller calling his letter a "summary" (it clearly was a summary, but Barr didn't like that word...whatever).
This bombshell could not come at a worse
time. Barr is scheduled to appear tomorrow morning before the Republican
led Senate Judiciary Committee and Thursday in front of the Democratic
led House Judiciary Committee, for what was already going to be a raking
over the coals. This news will add an extra layer of intensity that I
do not think anyone anticipated.
Congress (Democrats) responded:
It will be interesting to see if Barr even shows up today.

context, nature, and substance of this office’s work and conclusions.
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.”

Disgustingly Out Of Shape Trump Claims He’s A “Young Vibrant Man”
Donald Trump has told a lot of lies since becoming resident – he
actually just crossed the 10,000 lie mark according to the Washington
Post fact checkers – but the other day he told what might be one of his
most obvious lies ever.
He told reporters that he is a “young, vibrant man”, sparking much-deserved ridicule in the media.

Woman Destroys Chuck Grassley At Town Hall
"Senator Chuck Grassley held a town hall back home in Iowa and he got a
little more than he bargained for when one of his constituents asked
about his repeated votes to repeal the Affordable Care Act. In fact,
Chuck Grassley has voted seven times to repeal the Affordable Care Act
and were it not for John McCain’s heroic thumbs down vote, Grassley and
his party would’ve succeeded in taking away health care from millions.
So how did Chuck Grassley respond? He stammered around saying he didn’t think the courts were going to rule the Affordable Care Act to be unconstitutional, even as Republicans and the Trump Department of Justice are trying to get the courts to do just that.
This Iowa woman did not let up and Grassley seemed at a total loss. He had no defense whatsoever."

Trump Is A Whiny Little Bitch Who Wants To Prosecute Hillary Clinton
Posted by Rude One
You’ve read all the legal insights you can stomach about the not-quite Mueller Report. You’ve argued with your friends and family and trolls about whether or not we should go ahead with impeachment (note: How is this even a question? You impeach the motherfucker with a full-court press convincing the American people to rally behind impeaching the motherfucker). You may have even sat down and pored through the Barr-damned redacted report, finding every appalling nugget you can mine out of it, like how the whole White House is just a cheap 1970's Godfather-knockoff film made in Russia.
And now you’ve come to the Rude Pundit, and I’m here to tell you this: Goddamn, theresident of the United States, Donald Trump, is such a
little whiny bitch all the way through.
We know how much of a whiny bitch he is through his tweets and endless airings of grievances at his rallies of the damned. He's the kind of little bitch that sits in the kitchen, just whimpering when its bowl is empty or whimpering because it shoved its toy under the couch. Just a whiny, noisy, little bitch and you fuckin' hate whoever in the house brought that bitch home.
In the not-really Mueller Report, we get to see the Donald Trump in private, and, holy fuckballs, if anything, he’s even more of a whiny bitch when his stump-thumbs aren’t tapping away on the Twitter app.
For instance, when meeting with his then-White House counsel Don McGahn, then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions, and then-AG Chief of Staff Jody Hunt, Trump bitched to Sessions about the Russia investigation, “This is terrible Jeff. It’s all because you recused. AG is supposed to be most important appointment. Kennedy appointed his brother. Obama appointed Holder. I appointed you and you recused yourself. You left me on an island. I can’t do anything.” That line, “You left me on an island,” is what you say when your online crush has ghosted you and you’re pining away pathetically into the ether.
Another time, he pissed and moaned to Sessions, “Everyone tells me if you get one of these independent counsels it ruins your presidency. It takes years and years and I won’t be able to do anything. This is the worst thing that ever happened to me.” The worst thing to ever happen to Donald Trump is that someone might hold him to account. You know, I’ve got no sympathy for Jeff Sessions, American’s most racist elf, so fuck him even if he did have to be the urinal for Trump’s whine dribbles. (Trump said his now famous “Oh my God. This is terrible. This is the end of myresidency. I’m fucked” to Sessions and Hunt, and I wonder if
they immediately thought of him boning Stormy Daniels.)
Over and over, Trump whinged about how he wanted to be “treated fairly,” that he wanted everyone to make sure he got a “fair” shake. When he tried to convince Sessions to un-recuse himself from the Russia investigation and then open an investigation into Hillary Clinton (which, what the fuck?), he bleated, “Not telling you to do anything. ... I’m not going to get involved. I’m not going to do anything or direct you to do anything. I just want to be treated fairly.” Being treated fairly meant, to Trump, an AG who ran interference for him, as he absolutely believes Eric Holder did for Barack Obama. It never fucking occurs to this blithering dick face that maybe Obama didn’t do anything that needed to be interfered with.
Going after Hillary Clinton to win the election wasn’t enough. Several times, the report mentions how the Trump campaign, including testicle pimples Donald Trump, Jr. and Jared Kushner, sought information that would “incriminate” her. And Trump’s mad tweets about Clinton’s “crimes” are also part of the report.
And, most tellingly, Trump thought “it was unfair that he was being investigated while Hillary Clinton was not.” I guess it also never occurred to him that he wasresident and no one gave a shit about
investigating Clinton when it wouldn’t damage her politically. Trump,
though, is a cruel motherfucker. Trump wanted to hurt her personally by
prosecuting her for...something.
That's a fucked-up area that no one has really touched, but it's an abuse of power as deep and as wrong as any of the dozens of others.

Donald Trump Gets More Pathetic By The Day
Posted by Rude One
Look, we all know that the saggy sack of bullshit, drool, and dried semen that is Donald Trump has long been a pathetic figure. From his pretending to be a masterful real estate speculator on The Apprentice to his carnival sideshow of ludicrous products with his name on them, Trump is like a bloated Elvis impersonator whose girth can't be contained in the sequined white outfit anymore, although at least that manque' Elvis had some honor in his life and was probably a whole lot less racist.
As we await the release of the Mueller report and the desperate spin that the White House and its subservient Justice Department will put on it, as we learn more and more that Attorney General William Barr is just another one of Trump's ass remoras, the president himself has seemed to grow smaller and smaller, even as he fluffs himself like a half-mad aging male porn star who can't get hard when he pops Viagra by the handful and injects cocaine right into his dick.
He's just so fucking pathetic and not in a sense of "pathos," but more in a "goddamn, I can't even stand to look at that worthless motherfucker anymore - it makes me sick" way.
At a "roundtable" discussion (if by "roundtable," you mean, "Sure, fine, the table was physically round and that's about it") on Monday in Burnsville, Minnesota, Trump repeatedly mentioned his 2016 campaign and victory. No, really.
Early on, right after saying something about the fire at Notre Dame Cathedral that faked concern, Trump immediately veered into how much better he was than Hillary Clinton in 2016: "I was criticized — coming up, I was criticized that I didn’t raise as much money as Hillary Clinton, that I only spent half. It’s actually much less than half. But I don’t want to tell. And in the old days, if you would spend less and win, you got credit. Today you have to spend more and win. So if I would’ve spent more, I would’ve been given a lot more credit. But the fact is we did spend a lot less money — much, much less money — than the Democrats. And we won."
We are two-and-a-half years past the election of 2016. Yet this craven, miserable son of a bitch keeps wanting to relive a moment where maybe his shitty father would have given him a warm handshake to celebrate. Trump brought it up again: "There’s a great movement in this country, and it started with that very special day in November. Remember that day? Was that a great day? November. November 2016." God, the brain worms keep whispering this to him.
And then, in a "discussion" that was supposed to be about "the economy and tax reform," Trump mentally lumbered off like a drunk Frankenstein's monster, and he talked about North Korea (no shit, he said that people told him that there were earthquakes going on there, but he knew it was nuclear testing) and the fuckin' ISIS caliphate and the fuckin' Golan Heights and the embassy in Jerusalem, which he said cost just $500,000 when it cost at least $21 million. "We’re using all Jerusalem stone," he claimed, which would be fuckin' idiotic.
Seriously, the head of Sergio's Family Restaurants and the general manager of Liberty Landscape Supply, brought there to massage Trump's taint and tell him how amazeballs he is, had to wonder what the fuck was going on.
Trump sounds more and more like a man who is worried that his days are numbered and that he'd better make sure that his story is told the way he wants it told, not how the failing news media would tell it, with its innumerable failures and buffoonery and evil, intentional and unintentional.
Gird your loins for more fuckery as the report drops. He'll be screeching like a meth-addicted mongoose if he thinks it says even one small thing against him. Let's be there to cage him and ship him away.

Even a Redacted Mueller Report Lays Out Case For OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE Against Trump!
Despite what Donald Trump and his cronies would have you believe, the
Mueller Report (IN NO UNCERTAIN TERMS) doesn't exonerate Donald Trump on
allegations of obstruction of justice. In fact, the exact opposite is
true.
Reading from the actual redacted report, Jesse Dollemore lays out a case for an obstruction charge. The only reason it seems charges aren't/can't be pursued is because of DOJ policies related to indicting a sittingresident.

Audible Guffaws On Set As Sekulow Says Trump Doesn't Support Lying
By David
The on air and backstage talent at MSNBC couldn't help but laugh at the so-calledresident's lawyer.
Donald Trump’s personal attorney, Jay Sekulow, insisted on Thursday that theresident “doesn’t support anyone telling lies.”
During an interview on MSNBC, host Ari Melber asked Sekulow about people who were found to have lied to special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigators.
“Does theresident condemn the lies that interfered?” Melber pressed.
“I know which ones I believe you’re talking about,” Sekulow admitted. “Theresident doesn’t support anyone telling lies. Let’s be crystal
clear on that.”
As Sekulow spoke about Trump’s distaste for falsehoods, laughing could be heard on the set.
“In the course of this investigation, if people were under oath and made inconsistent statements or statements that were material, there’s a standard that applies under false statements,” he continued.
“I’m trying to not be that technical. There’s a standard that applies. No one supports someone talking about perjury or shaping testimony.”
Sekulow also confirmed that he was given the Mueller report two days before Congress was allowed access.

Trump Embarrasses Himself During Mount Vernon Tour
Trump went to Mt. Vernon and embarrassed himself and the entire country
while he was there. Ana Kasparian, Brett Erlich, and Nando Vila, hosts

Devin Nunes Is The Dumbest Person On Twitter
Devin Nunes should have stopped when he sued a fake cow for defamation,
but the California Congressman doesn’t know when to take a loss.
He’s now suing the Fresno Bee newspaper over an article they printed last year detailing lurid sex parties that happened at a fundraiser for a winery that Nunes owns a stake in. The paper didn’t implicate Nunes in the events, but he’s still mad as hell.
And, as Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains, that’s not even the funniest part of this ridiculous lawsuit.

Why Ecuador ended asylum for 'spoiled brat' Julian Assange
Ecudaor, which prides itself on its hospitality and spent almost $1
million a year protecting the WikiLeaks founder, saw his behavior as a
national insult.
https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/why-ecuador-ended-asylum-spoiled-brat-julian-assange-n993711
By Associated Press
QUITO, Ecuador — The dramatic end to Julian Assange's asylum
has sparked curiosity about his 7-year stay inside Ecuador's Embassy in
London that was marked by his late-night skateboarding, the physical
harassment of his caretakers and even the smearing of his own fecal
matter on the walls of the diplomatic mission.
It
would've tested the patience of any host. But for tiny Ecuador, which
prides itself on its hospitality and spent almost $1 million a year
protecting Assange, it was also seen as a national insult.
"We've
ended the asylum of this spoiled brat," a visibly flustered President
Lenin Moreno said Thursday in a fiery speech explaining his decision to
withdraw protection of Assange and hand him over to British police.
"From now on we'll be more careful in giving asylum to people who are
really worth it, and not miserable hackers whose only goal is to
destabilize governments."
