I was actually running down the Trisha Beth Anderson thing this morning. There's more at CTH today and Julian (a commenter in the article replies) is a friggin goldmine.

So POTUS' claim that "This should never happen to another president" is 100% meaningless...business as usual.
We are shown mounds of incriminating evidence only to have our noses rubbed in it?
OK, got it.

Why do concernfags like to pretend like this is over?

And just maybe he is protecting the Military Tribunals. Why have the Ag duplicate what is being done.

I am sadden to agree with this. I had high hopes, but.....
This is likely why POTUS is publicly putting Barr on notice (I'm paraphrasing) by asking how he (Barr) will be viewed in the history books."

I got that impression too when POTUS said Barr could take the easy way out and be an unremarkable AG or he could do the right thing and be the best AG ever. I hope he does the right thing, but POTUS didn't seem certain he would.

Good find, Paca. Sundance is correctly (IMHO) inferring that Clinesmith and Anderson clearly knew that they would be vulnerable for signing off on this, and yet they did it anyway.
From the Q drop:
[Controlled by those who worked for the Clinton's]
They have ZERO control now.
In a vacuum the single indictment of Clinesmith is distressing. It's a felony which means he loses his clearance forever and can't get one again which is obviously a good thing. But we'd better see the people that forced them to both sign off on this get chewed up and spit out by the law. We will accept nothing less.

Those orders came from higher than just the FBI Dir or DAG Yates or DAG Rosenstein. They came from the Oval Orifice. Clinesmith knows this. So does Mrs Anderson. So, even though this is one unsealed indictment for Clinesmith, he wouldn't get such a lenient plea agreement (which we haven't seen, have we?) UNLESS he's spilling/spilled the beans on what he knows.
IF, in fact, Barr is playing games, we'll find out soon enough. More indictments SHOULD BE unseladed in the process after Clinesmith. If not, then the whole system is fucked because the DOJ is fucked no matter who's in the WH, and we bring it all crashing down upon their little corrupt swamp creature heads. Savvy?
I believe you're repeating what I said, although it a more detailed manner. I probably should have elaborated more than I did.
I agree that it was Barry who was ultimately running the show, although my guess is that at best they'll find evidence only linking Comey to this. Comey's scalp is certainly significant but not the one that I ultimately want.
And I sincerely hope that Clinesmith got a rather lenient plea agreement because he's cooperating. It's certainly what I'm leaning towards. But I'll believe it when I see it. I want to trust Barr, but I don't fully trust him. Not yet at least.
And I agree, SF. If we don't see these people indicted, we'll know it's time for us to take care of the problem ourselves.

He's milking them for as much irrefutable evidence as possible in order to weed out every last one of them right to the top [P] and make sure they have no defense. They will receive military tribunals as enemy combatants, not these civil court charges. This is all preliminary.

Y'all really, you think these people aren't going to suffer more consequences? POTUS has to put many of these people to death for what they have done, he says all the time, this can never happen again. Why would he say that? Because he is setting the stage for executions. Also, if he just gave jail sentences another president could come behind him and pardon them. Also, he has to think about the future of his family and their safety. They'll never be safe with all these conspirators running or roaming around still alive.

Setting the stage may be another way to look at trolling, getting the truth out there.
