#1 ??
"[Zero] specified that he did not want any additional information on the matter, but was seeking information on whether the White House should be treating Flynn any differently, given the information."

WTF? So Zero "did not want additional information" even though he was "seeking additional information"??

What does that mean, in simple coherent English?

Also: what's going on with the weird fishing lure-like phrase, "treating Flynn differently" ... from January 5, with Trump's inauguration just two weeks away?

What does "treating him differently" mean here?

This comes off like a wink and a nod that Zero had no interest in Flynn per se, or in policy re sanctions, but was keen on signaling his approval of a plot to entrap Flynn and turn him against the real quarry, which was always Trump.

#2 Surprising top DOJ Official

Very worrisome that we might have anyone in the DoJ that simple minded and naive. All evidence has pointed to Soetoro's full knowledge and complicity for years.

The first entitlement president shall not fail or be found guilty of malfeasance! It simply cannot be so.

#3 Page wrote to Strzok in September, 2016 about prepping FBI Director James Comey on talking points for an update he was planning to give Obama that said: “potus wants to know everything we’re doing.”

#5 BTW, hat tip to whomever posted that excellent graphic. It would appear the puppet is being schooled by the shadow president.

#6 What does that mean, in simple coherent English?

It means he knew that he shouldn't have been told that, that whomever told him that shouldn't have known it, and whomever authorized it shouldn't have authorized it. And that he should be acting to correct the whole situation. But that would have been against his globalist interests, so to cover as much of his a$$ as he could, he just left it at that.

#7 Zero is at the center of this conspiracy. He needs to be indicted.
We simply have to re-elect Trump and get to the bottom of this. It's surreal. Our democracy's at stake.

#8 He surprised others when he let on he knew about it.

Demobcrats.

#13 All about prepping the "Wherever he heard it, it wadn't from me" defense.

#14 Because Barr POS was so fantastic at investigating the largest honey pot pedophile Epstein ring, Obama IRS targeting and Vegas mass murders... Not 1 fuking thing will come of this.

No charges, no Muzzy Obammer deposition, nothing. Treason, child rape and murder, Clinton international bribery are useless information. End of story.

Fire all FBI-DOJ management, sentences for treason or surrender. I'm done with this fraud show! Barr has no shame.

#15 Calm down Woody. Revenge is a dish best served cold. I figure you will be right if by early October nothing hits the fan. However, dealing with people who know how to play the game, I'd wait till just before the election for the maximum effect on election day. Not only to motivate your side but to also demoralize and demonize the other. Trump knows how to play the media, forcing them to cover things they don't want to. If you do it now, it will be old news by November. They'll have months to bury the bodies and move the gullible to other entertainment.

#16 Woody's right. Nothing's going to happen, especially from an AG who believes Epstein committed suicide. Come on, Barr. GTFOH

#17 With P2K. The news cycle these days is measured in nanoseconds.
Best to keep our powder dry.
Patience, gents. Nov. 3's not far off.

#18 and if Durham, Barr, et al, come through? Will you be apologizing? I doubt it. Give them a chance. Miss Lindsay even got called out by Maria B the other day.

I agree with you: Show us some f*&king results
