Weaponizing the Justice Department
President Trump is weaponizing the Justice Department. At least that’s what former insiders told Rachel Maddow.
And they thought Trump was a Russian asset. So the FBI used a phony dossier to get FISA court approval to spy on the 2016 Trump campaign. But when Special Counsel Mueller investigated Russian Collusion for 2 1/2 yers he came up empty handed.
Weaponizing Wing Man
So now AG Barr is investigating the investigators. And President Obama’s “wing man” Eric Holder calls that “unprecedented” behavior.
Air Travel Animal Farm
The air travel animal farm made the news again this week. A Michigan woman bought a first class window seat for her horse.
Thank You for Your Service Animals
Meanwhile, back in the section for animals less equal than others, a human pounded on the seat of the woman in front of him. She had committed the economy section faux pax of reclining into his lap.
The Bloomberg College of Agriculture
The President of The Bloomberg College of Agriculture wants to be President of the United States.
But here’s what Composer Gregg Opelka had to say in the WSJ about Mayor Mike’s condescending attitude toward farmers:
Mike Bloomberg’s is the rarefied hauteur of the technocrat. Anyone who’s worked in an office since the 1990s has dealt with the IT overlord who tells you with a paternalistic smile that “It can’t be done that way” because of this or that technical mumbo-jumbo. The former mayor is that guy on steroids.
With his self-satisfied regard for technology, Mr. Bloomberg carries a palpable disdain for human craft. “I could teach anybody, even people in this room, no offense intended, to be a farmer,” he said during a 2016 talk (recently gone viral) at the University of Oxford’s Saïd Business School. “You dig a hole, you put a seed in, you put dirt on top, add water, up comes the corn.”
Meanwhile back at Bloomberg News here’s the lowdown on locusts.
Trump Tweet Trips Barr
President Trump is driving his best Attorney General, who never recused himself, around the bend. So much so that A.G. Barr told ABC News that Trump is making it impossible to do his job.
Trump Tweet
Here’s why. When federal prosecutors recommended a 7-9 year sentence for the president’s odd associate, Roger Stone, Trump was moved to tweet:
“This is a horrible and very unfair situation. The real crimes were on the other side, and nothing happens to them. Cannot allow this miscarriage of justice!”
As it turns out, the Trump tweet may have been right. Barr’s Justice Department wasn’t going to allow “this miscarriage of justice.” They had already decided to ask the judge for a more lenient sentence.
But now it looked like Barr was just following Trump’s orders. So the original 4 prosecutors got mad, quit and hell broke loose.
Acme Impeachment Anvil Falls on Wily Democrats
Things haven’t worked out well for the Wily Democrats. It’s dawning on them that Joe Biden has never won a primary in his 77 years.
Then there was there was the caucus chaos in Iowa.
Elizabeth Warren’s plans to appeal to the far left seem to be losing their favor. But that’s only because Bernie Sanders, a 78 year old socialist, who’s not really a Democrat, is leading the party even further left.
The 38 year old small city Mayor Pete nips at his heels. And 78 year old humongous city Republican Mayor Mike, with billions to burn, is coming on strong. And he says he’s willing to spend whatever it takes.
Wily Democrats
Maybe Amy Klobuchar will prevail in sensible shoes.
But whatever happens, they’ll always have impeachment.
Beep! Beep!
