Fmr Attorney General Eric Holder:
“I think he (Mueller) was taking into account the justice department regulation that says you cannot indict a sitting president. And I think that really changed the way in which Bob Mueller conducted…his probe.” “You look at the letter and you’re trying to figure how much of this is Barr, how much of this is Mueller, how much of this is based on the Mueller findings.”
Jason Easley (politicus.usa) “The broader point that can be taken away from Attorney General Holder’s comments is that Robert Mueller didn’t exonerate Trump. Trump’s attorney general did. Everything that Barr and the White House has released has been designed to fool the public into
a false conclusion. Trump is hiding behind Barr, who isn’t going to release the Mueller report. It took less than a day to reveal that
Trump’s exoneration claims are fake.”

It’s not Obamacare. It’s the ACA. I love how the media has played into Republicans’ hands with this anti-ACA propaganda. So people are okay with destroying the ACA and going back to insurance companies rejecting millions for pre-existing conditions? Really?

The Trump administration is now arguing in court that the whole ACA should be thrown out, including pre-existing condition protections. The president’s budget also proposes repeal and replace of the ACA. This sets up a clear contrast for the 2020 general election on health care. https://t.co/kMBPrKIKKj

I still don’t understand why there was no huge fight to not have that AG (or any AG at this time) voted in & by some dems. Same way GOP made sure Garland didn’t get to Supremes. Use all moves, everything in the pocket to put a stop by these insidious.
Seeing the DOJs wrote a letter asking the Supreme Court to make Obamacare unconstitutional since they stripped out the tax mandate knowing they stacked the SC makes me sick. That and taking money out of Medicare and Medicaid with hardly a mention also makes me sick. The evil one is getting away with so much because so much is happening the press cannot keep up with it all.
What @senatemajldr did by blocking release of the #MuellerReport is announce to You & the Nation that he, @realdonaldtrump, @VP & much of @GOP in the 116th are susceptible to, or already, being extorted.
So, here’s my recommendation how to bring the entire Nation face to face with the truth. I have zero doubt #RobertMueller is an honorable person who has demonstrated exceptional skill in beginning the process of dismantling an international crime syndicate.
Dear @SpeakerPelosi,
During the past 48 h, #Trump, #McConnell, #Barr & many others in @GOP have demonstrated how fragile, compromised & scared they are.
Invite #RobertMueller to appear on 2 April 2025 before the entire Congress & tell the truth about his Investigation.
Good morning, TODville. Something to brighten your day.

Ta-NaHesiCoates-The First White President-The first white president in American history is also the most dangerous president— he is made more dangerous still by the fact that those charged with analyzing him cannot name his essential nature, because they too are implicated in it.
I suspect that people mean well when they suggest that the Dem 2020 nominee should be one who can attract traitor’s voters;
But, if these people have not changed their opinion or reduced their support of traitor given all we have been and are still going through, WHY do people expect them to suddenly change their minds and vote for a Dem?
My very limited political understanding leads me to conclude that the best Den 2020 candidate should be the one who can bring out as many democratic-leaning voters as possible.
The primary goal should be to register and protect the voting rights of new and most reliable democratic voters.
Dems should avoid running the campaign as if we are fighting the 2016 elections …. so many things have changed … mobilize and register new voters;
This just goes to show you the schizophrenic nature of America, to put Michelle’s book on track to be the most successful memoir ever and to elect trump as President.
Key 2nd Mueller report to come out:
“But most people are not aware that Mueller will issue a second report — called the “counterintelligence report” — that can’t be kept from either Congress or the public by William Barr or anyone else…the “counterintelligence report” will deal only with counterintelligence findings and not whether crimes were committed.”
https://www.politicususa.com/2019/03/24/by-law-muellers-counterintelligence-report-must-be-made-public.html
-Apparently THIS is the report that will address whether or not there was collusion between Russia and Trump campaign.

“Neither the special counsel regulations nor Attorney General Barr’s discretion will keep Mueller’s counterintelligence findings from Congress.”

Its not that people are cheering that Jussie Smollett got off or got away with something. It is because the justice system has never been blind when it came to us. She has always peeked out from under her blindfold to see who she was dealing with, contrary to popular belief. When it comes to what we think justice is, each of us bring with them a perception of what justice means to them. What you think is just, I might think is unjust, and our life experiences will always dictate that. I remember when the O.J. Simpson verdict was announced, I was in my twenties and I was working at Miami International Airport. My coworkers and I were all on verdict watch that day, my best friend at work was this fifty-something year old White guy. We’d hang out all day at work telling jokes and just enjoying each other’s company, I really got to know this guy. When the verdict was announced I had a Black supervisor come up to me and ask me did I hear the verdict, they found O.J. innocent he said. This guy was so happy, he was elated, and it looked like he was walking on air. But the guy that was a close friend was distraught, you could see the pain and hurt in his eyes. Here you had two guys around the same age, both with vastly different life experiences reacting totally different. One was upset because he thought the justice system failed him. The other elated because he thought the justice system finally worked for once.
I have no idea what was behind any decisions made in the case that were announced today. When the announcement came, I was happy for Jussie Smollett, knowing his reputation and career have nevertheless suffered greatly.
But after spotting the Chicago police superintendent and their mayor Rahm Emmanuel having a press conference, it seems to me that their reactions are more about THEIR OWN EGOTISTICAL FAILINGS than any court decision. No idea where this will lead, but I’m not liking their reactions before the camera.
It was outrageous at best, I’ve never seen a presser from a police chief and mayor like that before. If I were Smollett I’d pay someone to watch my back 24/7.

I will only buy this if Mueller signs it and certifies it to be "a true copy." Otherwise, the whole so-called report is a sham. Hoping Mueller leaks it, signed or not.

There are amazing young ones out in our world. I was going down the hallway at work & one of my colleagues did a “psst” come, come here, to the side, I was “OK”, he seemed so excited to share that “psst”. So, he pulls out his cell phone to show me pics. His granddaughter spoke at UN on as one of young leadership out there fighting for climate change. This young gal is mighty-mighty! She even interviewed our FLOTUS back in the day, & she’s a pistol of action! She has a full scholarship to one of the universities in MD, but she wants to go to Spellman or Howard. Her Mom doesn’t want her far, they live in NY. Told my colleague, let that child fly! He cracked me up: am going to “break her mama’s legs” to let grandbaby fly! I felt so happy & proud to see those photos of this lovely & motivated young person speaking in the UN chambers, & having spoken w/ our FLOTUS, which I bet gave her more of an impetus to do it! I sure needed to hear this kind of wonderful today! Bless! ❤

So, he pulls out his cell phone to show me pics. His granddaughter spoke at UN on as one of young leadership out there fighting for climate change. This young gal is mighty-mighty! She even interviewed our FLOTUS back in the day, & she’s a pistol of action! She has a full scholarship to one of the universities in MD, but she wants to go to Spellman or Howard. Her Mom doesn’t want her far, they live in NY. Told my colleague, let that child fly! He cracked me up: am going to “break her mama’s legs” to let grandbaby fly! I felt so happy & proud to see those photos of this lovely & motivated young person speaking in the UN chambers, & having spoken w/ our FLOTUS, which I bet gave her more of an impetus to do it! I sure needed to hear this kind of wonderful today! Bless! ❤
