He served Trump's purpose. Either that, or they're going to do more BS.

Microsoft files patent to record and score meetings on body language
Details of the "meeting-insight computing system" were filed in July, ahead of being made public this month.
They say the sensors could record:
which invitees actually attend a meeting
attendees' body language and facial expressions
the amount of time each participant spent contributing to the meeting
speech patterns "consistent with boredom [and] fatigue"
They also suggest employees' mobile devices could be used to monitor whether they were simultaneously engaged in other tasks - such as texting or browsing the internet - as well as to check their schedule to take into account whether they had had to attend other meetings the same day.

Some of that sounds like what I've seen colleges using to monitor students (while at home) during tests that look for signs of cheating.

“Speech patterns consistent with boredom [and] fatigue" basically sums up my every day work speak.

If you want me to not do other **** during a nonsense meeting you’re gonna have to pay me to work a 14 hour day to actually get my work done.

Barr appoints special counsel in Russia probe investigation
Attorney General William Barr has given extra protection to the prosecutor he appointed to investigate the origins of the Trump-Russia probe, granting him authority to complete the work without being easily fired.
Barr told The Associated Press on Tuesday that he had appointed U.S. Attorney John Durham as a special counsel in October under the same federal statute that governed special counsel Robert Mueller in the original Russia probe. He said Durham’s investigation has been narrowing to focus more on the conduct of FBI agents who worked on the Russia investigation, known as Crossfire Hurricane.
Under federal regulations, a special counsel can be fired only by the attorney general and for specific reasons such as misconduct, dereliction of duty or conflict of interest. An attorney general must document such reasons in writing.
n an Oct. 19 order, obtained by The Associated Press, Barr says Durham is authorized “to investigate whether any federal official, employee or any person or entity violated the law in connection with the intelligence, counter-intelligence or law enforcement activities” directed at the 2016 presidential campaigns, anyone associated with the campaigns or the Trump administration.

"The political strategy to obtain a presidential pardon was 'parallel' to and distinct from [redacted]'s role as an attorney-advocate for [redacted name]," Howell wrote in her court order.

Ohio tea party leader urges Trump to suspend the Constitution, declare martial law to hold new vote
https://www.cleveland.com/open/2020/12/ ... -vote.html“Without a fair vote, we fear, with good reason, the threat of a shooting civil war is imminent,” the ad states, adding a vague warning that if Trump doesn’t declare martial law, “We will also have no other choice but to take matters into our own hands, and defend our rights on our own.”
Zawistowski, also the executive director of the Portage County Tea Party, has been one of Ohio’s most visible tea party leaders. Known in Ohio political circles as “Tom Z.,” he ran unsuccessfully for Ohio Republican Party chair in 2013.

That seems very unhinged...like, even if you love Trump, has he really done such great things for you that you're willing to "take matters into [your] own hands"...? Unless that's just code for crankin' one out, if so, then carry on...but that seems like a waste of commercial time, even in Ohio...

That's a common sentiment in the comments section of Breitbart posts.Ohio tea party leader urges Trump to suspend the Constitution, declare martial law to hold new vote

I'm aware. I'm saying Barr was not called to the WH to be reprimanded for his election comments. I'm saying I think he was there to coordinate the response to the public disclosure of the pay-to-play/bribery/pardon scheme.As noted if you'd read through the thread that was in reference to his declaring no Shenanigans in the voting.

The DOJ argued against the public disclosure of those facts. In her ruling, Judge Howell gave the DOJ until yesterday to release the information themselves. They chose another path.
