#1 I see no evidence of ~~fraud~~ conflict of interest.

#2 There can be legal corruption as well as illegal.

#3 Barr is a swamp creature, we knew that. Well, some of us did.

#4 Trump is either very naïve or had his hands tied. Some of his hiring decisions left a lot to be desired, and that's on him.

#5 Unlike Reagan who had friends and allies familiar with Washington's peculiar governance, Trump had no one. He had to depend on the advice of mediocrities, unknowns, or wanna-bes like Sessions. No one has ever stepped forth and championed Barr. Who could it be?

#6 I doubt Trump understood the magnitude of the problem. I doubt many of us could have understood the scope of corruption. We now have a better sense of the reality of Washington, but we appear to lost a champion and possibly the country. I'm not certain what happens from this point on.

#7 The same BARR that has dragged his heels and just said...
He did not see any evidence of Electronic Voting Fraud.

" Dominion Resources and Time Warner. From 2009 to 2018, Dominion paid Barr $1.2 million in cash and granted him another $1.1 million in stock awards..."

Exactly. When Trump got in it was him against the Swamp. Turns out, it's every single fucking one of the 2 million Federal employees, a bendo-boy media and (with the multi-statewide ballot stuffing) a shit ton of them at the local and county levels not even needing to be told to produce millions of Biden votes. You know, the kind of shit that only needs a wink & a nod to the Dem goons counting the votes and then they're threatening and tossing out Republican observers.

We're in some shit, all right.

#9 Don't forget, Barr wrote the 8 June 2018 Memo to Rosenstein, torpedoing Muller's theory to indite Trump. A few days later, Muller (unexpectedly) shut off his witch hunt. Eight months later Barr was AG. I read it all at Rantburg!

#10 Even many Dems don't buy the results from this election. Trump was ahead in the swing states when the polls shut down, before the huge injection of fake votes. Trump supporters most certainly don't buy the results from this election.

Governing will come hard if the results are allowed to stand. Already there is push-back against tyrannical Dem and Rino governors in various states who issue dictates about what people are going to do and not do.

We are where the Colonials were with the British some 250 years ago except the enemy is different and the weaponry is better.

#11 Even many Dems don't buy the results from this election.

In the early days iafter the election a third of Democrats and 95% of Republicans thought the fix was in. No doubt both numbers are higher now, despite all the media and Democratic politicians screeching that it’s over.

#12 Just once I'd like to read an article about how one of our public servants was struggling to make ends meet.

#13 I'm not certain what happens from this point on.

First we go down - way down. And then we either rebound, or go the way of formerly-wealthy countries like Argentina.

If we're lucky we'll end up like France. Perennially divided, self-hating, cynical, corrupt, pining for lost glory.

That's easy: Harry Truman. Ulysses S. Grant. Oh wait...

#15 What's going on with the Yellowstone Caldera these days? Just asking for a friend.
