Trump "jokes" about staying in office past his expiration date, again.

Dont worry. Mr Very Credible Newsman Aaron Ruper and our watchdogs over at vox.com are on to him.

2024 is light years away, so they only real concern is what happens if he loses in 2020. Considering that this administration litigates everything, it's farcical to assume that he won't challenge the results of what will likely be a close election. And obviously there is precedent for that (Bush V Gore). He already has what 4 appeals to the SC right now? It's going to test the judicial system, I don't have tremendous faith in it, of course life will he go on should the SC decide in his favor, it did in 2000. But at least in 2000 there was the pretense of something off in Florida where both sides had substantive arguments on their respective sides. Trump could just yell voter fraud and argue to have ballots thrown out, should a biased court accept his years long contrived arguments, then it's going to be hard to stomach for the democrats.

Written years ago because he was 92?

[DigitalGypsy66]

Probably by people who covered him back in the day.

Hey, I'm all for normalization of it, I'll support Russia too, just give me time.

If anything is contested in the 2020, insofar as the election results are concerned, it won't be a years long process; Bush v Gore was barely a month after the 2000 election.

There's nothing out of line or goofy about a media outlet that has a pre-written obit for a public figure that was written years ago.

Oh ****, juicy stuff right now with Castor caught in a trap.

Fox News can't shade the truth:

IG report finds mistakes but no political bias in FBI’s bid to spy on Trump campaign staffer

[Troy Loney]

Barr issues statement basically disregarding the report conclusion and inserting his own conclusion

He’s either stupid or a liar.

The full report. Here are excerpts of every single finding on political bias in the Executive Summary:
• Page III. On Opening the Main Investigation.
We concluded that Priestap's exercise of discretion in opening the investigation was in compliance with Department and FBI policies, and we did not find documentary or testimonial evidence that political bias or improper motivation influenced his decision.
• Page IV. On Opening Four Individual Investigations of Page, Manafort, Papadapoulous and Flynn.
We did not find documentary or testimonial evidence that political bias or improper motivation influenced the decisions to open the four individual investigations.
• Page VI. On FISA of Carter Page.
We did not find documentary or testimonial evidence that political bias or improper motivation influenced the FBI's decision to seek FISA authority on Carter Page.
• Page XVII. On Usage Confidential Human Sources.
Finally, we also found no documentary or testimonial evidence that political bias or improper motivations influenced the FBI's decision to use CHSs or UCEs to interact with Trump campaign officials in the Crossfire Hurricane investigation.

When do we get the full unredacted Mueller report then?

Not a hack though.

Where is the criminal indictment for Comey and McCabe?

Matt Gaetz is a tool.

Except you’ve got Rs and Barr already crying foul. This reeks of, people didn’t follow procedures even though the outcome was the same, and I bet shortcuts happen all the time.

After all, if people followed the rules, Kushner and family wouldn’t have security clearances.
