[Well boys and girls, let's all talk about the released Mueller report (here).  After explaining a year or two that collusion by itself is neither nefarious nor illegal, and conspiracy is surreptitious collusion with intent to harm, I smiled this morning as the NPR mavens awakened to that important distinction in their aspirations about AG Barr's talk and press conference this morning.  Your task, should you be so inclined, is to find in this entertaining aftermath even a smidgen of common ground for healing the land.  gjr]

    Saying the Leftinistas would trash William Barr was a no brainer. Here is the next predictions: trashing IG Horowitz. Time will tell.

    Toes 1046pm… the politics of personal destruction is a well worn bit of applied Machiavelli… In The Prince, Machiavelli wrote a thought that is generally misunderstood… he didn’t write, “The ends justifies the means”… he did write something like “when judging men, especially Princes, and there are no disinterested observers, one must take the results into account”…which means that when you have an honest person doing their jobs, like Ken Starr, Barr or Horowitz, you’ve got to trash them so the useful idiots can work their magic.
    I expect the next 12 months to be very interesting. Yes, Trump is still standing and he’s pissed.

    Breaking NEWs! In the ‘fuck the rule of law department, us goombahs do what we want to protect our asses’ trump will not turn over his tax returns AS REQUIRED BY LAW to Congress. for those with eyes that see and minds that think.. this is scary shit when people try and circumvent law.. Does the term ‘wanna be despot’ ring a bell? Hitler was a wanna be despot who pulled it off because people bought into his lies and his appeal to base instincts like fear, nationalism, and racism to rally his supporters. Does history repeat itself.. can history repeat itself?

    Bobby 511pm, no, Trump is not REQUIRED BY LAW to turn over his tax returns to Congress. Try again.
    Here’s a quote of the relevant section of
    26 U.S. Code Β§β€―6103. Confidentiality and disclosure of returns and return information
    (f) Disclosure to Committees of Congress
    (1) Committee on Ways and Means, Committee on Finance, and Joint Committee on Taxation
    Upon written request from the chairman of the Committee on Ways and Means of the House of Representatives, the chairman of the Committee on Finance of the Senate, or the chairman of the Joint Committee on Taxation, the Secretary shall furnish such committee with any return or return information specified in such request, except that any return or return information which can be associated with, or otherwise identify, directly or indirectly, a particular taxpayer shall be furnished to such committee only when sitting in closed executive session unless such taxpayer otherwise consents in writing to such disclosure.
    I doubt Trump would consent in writing (or verbally) to “such disclosure”.
    Do the Democrats really want to weaponize the IRS more than they already have?
