  1. More like he’s got a legal obligation to redact information. I believe he’d need to get a court order from each judge presiding over the (I assume several) grand juries that are sitting or have sat in related matters. Otherwise, releasing affected information is a felony. I’d need to look at the Special Counsel law to see if there’s some sort of other exception — but I don’t think one exists. Plus, from what I understand (and I think Barr might have mentioned in his letter) there's a long standing Justice Department policy which holds that information about someone who hasn't committed a crime be withheld so that they're not smeared. The letter says Mueller interviewed 500 witnesses. The vast majority of these people aren’t in legal jeopardy, so their names should be scrubbed. Barr cites the restrictions in his letter. The SC Statute makes the Mueller report “confidential”, and Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 6(e) addresses grand jury info. https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/5779699-Letter-to-Congress-detailing-Robert-Mueller-s.html
  2. NYC already has a program that pays homeless one year of rent up front for them to move someplace else. It isn’t a popular program with the Mayor of Newark (or too many others). https://www.6sqft.com/newark-mayor-points-to-flaws-in-nyc-program-that-pays-homeless-people-to-leave-for-cheaper-cities/
  3. What oversight function do these alleged subpoenas support? The House doesn't investigate matters reserved for the Executive branch.
  4. He’s the Frank Booth of candidates.
  5. ^^^^^Joe Biden with hotel shampoo bottle.
  6. Gaslighting. And i don't know if they're trying to protect as much as they're #resisting any current administration program no matter how illogical it is to take the opposite stance.
  7. Maybe they should investigate Trump for this: https://www.usatoday.com/story/life/people/2019/02/05/james-brown-murdered-bombshell-report-raises-questions/2775870002/
  8. Honestly, someone should ask Biden to sponsor their shampoo, he likes sniffing hair so much, he’s a connoisseur.
  9. Grassley abbreviates like he’s still paying for each charchter on a flip phone.
  10. Is Comey on a "this is my last chance to be outdoors for a long time" tour?
  11. I wonder what might become of the Australia Huawei ban. The impending retribution and then future recrimination will be the real legacy of this sorry matter.
  12. (1) it is lech. (2) look at the expressions on everyone not named Biden in that photo. Looks like they all want to kick his ass.
  13. I like Levin's format on this show (I hate his radio show -- way too shrill). On TV, he should at least try to get voices that disagree with him now and again, but I think he scares everyone off from his radio presentation. As it is now, he and his guests just nod at each other for an hour.
  14. Here are the fruits of progressivism: NYC 2014 Budget $70.1 Million: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-nyc-budget/new-york-city-mayor-bloomberg-proposes-70-1-billion-budget-for-2014-idUSBRE90S0XP20130129 NYC 2020 Budget (proposed): $90.2 Million: https://www1.nyc.gov/site/omb/index.page NYC Real Property Tax increases: https://www.bna.com/new-york-city-n73014482342/ NYC Public Housing catastrophe: https://www.ny1.com/nyc/all-boroughs/politics/2019/02/01/looking-back-at-bill-de-blasio-trouble-turning-around-nycha-public-housing-nyc NYC Metal Health boondoggle run by Mrs. Mayor: https://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/ny-pol-deblasio-stringer-thrive-20190328-sulcjjtbbzhwhkvoczwkwohn7m-story.html Mayor Tin-ear flirts with Presidential run: https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2019/02/bill-de-blasio-is-still-thinking-about-a-2020-run What's really sad is that the NYC/NYS Republican party (or I'd take ANY moderate Democrat) can't at least put up token candidate at a minimum to call out this excess on a consistent basis.
  15. To be fair, to AOC anyone who’s not a socialist is considered “far right”.
  16. Wow, that President Trump is something else, huh? Saved Seattle from near death.
  17. They do that by offering money to applicants, not by lowering the sticker price.
  18. The first quote is the politics I was thinking of. I don't expect his consituents to vote him out. Yeah. This was pretty easy to see coming. This is what the Saturday 3pm Dem conference call produced. Pretty sad that they'd just roll on as though Mueller didn't exist.
  19. Maybe so, but if Schiff thinks he's got some evidence that doesn't exonerate the President or his crew, he'd better come up with it soon or else he will undermine his own whacko narrative. The Barr letter claimed that Mueller exonerated everyone relative to collusion. Schiff just rambled on about collusion. He would have been a lot smarter if he rambled on about obstruction of the investigation. I don't think he will be found guilty of sedition or more, but his political footing is very shaky -- especially of he keep this up.
