Sharyl Attkisson notes Bill Barr has suddenly become chatty -- and tries to summarize the info dump
See the rest here William Barr Has Suddenly Become Chatty—and He’s Provided Quite an Information Dump
"In each of two video appearances ... Attorney General William Barr provided the same basic information and views about the U.S. intelligence community’s actions against the Trump campaign in 2016 and 2017. A criminal investigation is underway and being led by U.S. Attorney John Durham.
Barr was motivated to make the public statements, he said, by the misreporting and confusion surrounding Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz’s report issued on Dec. 9. It found serious government surveillance abuses but no evidence of political bias on the part of the offending FBI officials and agents.
Below are 24 points Barr felt the need to make after the release of the Horowitz report. (All of the information is attributed to Barr.)
2. The FBI did spy on the Trump campaign. That’s what electronic surveillance is.
4. From “day one,” the FBI investigation generated exculpatory information (tending to point to the targets’ innocence) and nothing that corroborated Russia collusion.
5. It’s a “big deal” to use U.S. law enforcement and intelligence resources to investigate the opposing political party, and I cannot think of another recent instance in which this happened.
7. It was “wrong” for the FBI to presume the Trump campaign was part of a plot. They should have gone to the campaign and discussed their suspicions.
10. As to the FBI’s motive, “that’s why we have Durham.” I’m not saying the motivations were improper, but it’s premature to say they weren’t.
12. Contrary to much reporting, Horowitz didn’t rule out improper motive; he didn’t find documentary or testimonial evidence of improper motive. Those are two different things.
16. The wiretaps allowed the FBI to go back and capture Page’s communications, emails, and other material from weeks, months, and even years ago.
21. Were the four Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act judges who approved the four wiretaps against Trump associate Carter Page badly misled by the FBI? Yes
22. Are people going to be held accountable, including at the very top of our intelligence agencies and FBI? Well, they’re all gone.

She tweets "WTF" but would be one of the first to say Trump's tweets are beneath the dignity of his Office. A hypocrite having been at such a high level in the Obozo admin.

I'm sure they will put on a charade of debates next week and then vote straight along the party lines.

The committee vote is in -- Judiciary Dems approved their articles of impeachment by a 23-17 vote
This is the 1st party line impeachment in history
Radicals are now in full control the Democrat Party
Guessing they would all rather sacrifice their political seats to be on the side of history that voted to remove Trump, a fruitless cause.Here are the vulnerable Dems in Trump Districts

They are probably busy trying to get as much as they can for that vote -- "I want one of those Ukraine jobs, you know, like Hunter had"

First it was two, then six, now eight House Democrats possibly leaning ‘no’ on the impeachment witch hunt
House Republicans narrow in on potential Democratic defectors for final impeachment votes

NBC News. I'm going to speculate this story is geared toward trying to make those Dems think twice.

An Arkansas state trial court judge is doing what the US Senate is afraid to do -- making Hunter Biden fork over his financial records, and testify under oath
Hunter Biden to be grilled under oath about his money and Ukraine ties
Hunter Biden to be grilled under oath about his money and Ukraine ties
Why? They seem to be stupid.

Could still happen
Has jurisdiction been established over Biden? I know the girl is from Arkansas, but my understanding is that she lived in DC at the time of the "consummation." I don't think Biden has ever been a resident of Arkansas.
If you get it on with a chick who used to live in Arkansas, does that create "minimum contacts" with the state of Arkansas to give its courts jurisdiction over you? If so, that's pretty rough. Better make sure you stay away from chicks who have lived in Oklahoma.
Everybody has a price.
Go on...

If a man and woman from Arkansas are married in Arkansas under Arkansas law and then are later granted a divorce by an Arkansas court, are they still considered brother and sister?

I believe he appeared already. He does have listed counsel, which implies an appearance and thus pj. And the local newspaper there said he was forced to submit to a DNA test - presumedly with some type of order entered.

So people have been calling the offices of these 31 vulnerable Dems. As far as we know, not a single of of them has been willing to take a public position on impeachment - either way.
