Too late, it’s here.

Donald Trump’s campaign operation has never been a bastion of moral rectitude.

Barr takes control of legal matters of interest to Trump, including Stone sentencing
Attorney General William Barr’s intervention in Roger Stone’s case wasn’t the first time senior political appointees reached into a case involving an ex-Trump aide, officials say.

…the case against Trump associate Roger Stone. On Tuesday, all four line prosecutors withdrew from the case — and one quit the Justice Department altogether — after Barr and his top aides intervened to reverse a stiff sentencing recommendation of up to nine years in prison that the line prosecutors had filed with the court Monday…

They don’t even have to bother to try and hide it anymore.

This morning:

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump
Congratulations to Attorney General Bill Barr for taking charge of a case that was totally out of control and perhaps should not have even been brought. Evidence now clearly shows that the Mueller Scam was improperly brought & tainted. Even Bob Mueller lied to Congress!

The monarchist kakistocracy strikes back.

Today:

Geoff Bennett @GeoffRBennett
NEWS via LTC Vindman’s atty: “Today, Lieutenant Colonel Alexander Vindman was escorted out of the White House where he has dutifully served his country and his President. He does so having spoken publicly once, and only pursuant to a subpoena from the United States Congress.”
2:48 PM · Feb 7, 2020

Kevin Liptak @Kevinliptakcnn
SONDLAND out as well: “I was advised today that the President intends to recall me effective immediately as United States Ambassador to the European Union,” he says in statement
5:40 PM · Feb 7, 2020

Kristen Holmes @KristenhCNN
Just a reminder that Alexander Vindman’s brother, Eugene Vindman, DID NOT testify in President Trump’s impeachment hearing. He simply was related to someone who did and was fired for it.
6:01 PM · Feb 7, 2020

Apparently Susan Collins (r) is disturbed and disappointed.

January 20, 2017. A protest rally and march from the Liberty Memorial in Kansas City, organized quickly via social media, with over a thousand participating:

Women hold up the sky…and are a force in the streets.

Fuck Trump.

Our hands are bigger than yours.

Not my pussy…

Tiny hands, huge asshole.

It feels like a lifetime.

This afternoon:

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump
These Media Posts will serve as notification to the United States Congress that should Iran strike any U.S. person or target, the United States will quickly & fully strike back, & perhaps in a disproportionate manner. Such legal notice is not required, but is given nevertheless!
2:25 PM · Jan 5, 2020

WTF?

One of the few relevant responses:

House Foreign Affairs Committee @HouseForeign
This Media Post will serve as a reminder that war powers reside in the Congress under the United States Constitution. And that you should read the War Powers Act. And that you’re not a dictator.

Today:

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump
The Whistleblower has disappeared. Where is the Whistleblower?
3:57 PM · Nov 2, 2019

Fascist.

Some of the responses:

“I can’t defend what I did, so I’ll focus on the person who accused me of doing it.”

The Whistleblower, in reality, is actually trying to stay safe.

The presidency has disappeared. Where is the presidency?

What’s the obsession? Ignorance?

The whistleblower just made a referral to investigate

You openly admitted the crime

You’re not SUPPOSED to know BECAUSE you can’t keep a SECRET.

WHY do you want to know?

TRump sure is worried about the whistleblower. He should be more concerned with what he has said himself.

They are no longer needed. SO many witnesses, and now reports of Barr trying to attack our intel agencies and all the OTHER crimes INCLUDING trying to expose a protected whistleblower… #ImpeachmentIsComing

You’re an idiot. Truly.

Their anonymity is protected by law, and it would be nice to have a president who understands that.

Wouldn’t you like to know? That way you could target him and his family. With all of the resources at your disposal as President I guess if you can’t find the whistleblower that means he or she is smarter than you, and the power of the rule of law is stronger than #Cult45.

None of your fucking business. We have whistleblower protections for a reason.

Daily reminder that retaliation against a whistleblower is a federal crime.

In your head. Every single minute of every single day!

Oooh the Whistleblower is still here, with his or her identity protected by law. But nice use of the office of the President to openly intimated the Whistleblower and future Whistleblowers. Great leader of the party of law and order.

Why? Your call transcript is call we need

Looking forward to your fireside reading, R you considering incorporating the redacted portions of the call into your “chat”?

Do you always need someone to punch?

Your words actions & crime

No need for the whistleblower when first hand witnesses with impeccable credentials are testifying. You’ll be impeached by Christmas. Thanksgiving if we’re lucky.

Okay, for the hundredth time: There’s a reason why you don’t get to know who the whistleblower is. He or she is protected by the whistleblower statutes which keep him or her from retaliation from, let’s say, you. You don’t get to know. Ever. Period.

I don’t know where the Whistleblower is, but these Mueller interview notes are fascinating. You and @seanhannity were up to no good. Flynn, Manafort, Jared, Bannon, Lewandowski, Sessions all in on it. This doesn’t look good for you, dude.

And on and on…

“…And I think any Jewish people that vote for a Democrat, I think it shows either a total lack of knowledge or great disloyalty…”

Bad combover. Check. Too long red tie. Check. Orange spray tan. Check. Tiny hands. Check. Cluelessness. Check…

Today at the White House:

[….]
Q On Israel, Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, yesterday, said that the United States should rethink its policy of aid toward Israel after she and Congresswomen Tlaib were denied entry. Congresswomen Tlaib was later allowed to come in, but she decided not to. Should there be any change in U.S. aid to Israel?

PRESIDENT TRUMP: No. And you should see the horrible things that Tlaib has said about Israel, and “AOC plus three.” That’s what I call it. “AOC” — just take “AOC plus three.” And you should see the things that the four of them have said about Israel over the last couple of years.

I mean, Omar is a disaster for Jewish people. I can’t imagine, if she has any Jewish people in her district, that they could possibly vote for her. But what Omar has said, what Tlaib has said.

And then, yesterday, I noticed for the first time, Tlaib with the tears. All of a sudden, she starts with tears. Tears. And I don’t buy it. I don’t buy it. I don’t buy it for a second because I’ve seen her in a very vicious mood at campaign rallies — my campaign rallies — before she was a congresswoman. I said, “Who is that?” And I saw a woman that was violent and vicious and out of control.

And all of a sudden, I see this person who’s crying because she can’t see her grandmother. She can see her grandmother. They have her permission to see her grandmother, but she grandstanded and she didn’t want to do it.

So, that’s a decision of Israel. That’s not — a lot of people are saying that was my decision. That’s a decision of — of Israel. They can let them in if they want, but I don’t think they want to. When you read the things that they’ve said about Israel — how bad. And if you look at their itinerary before they found out — you take a look at their itinerary, that was all going to be a propaganda tour against Israel.

So, I don’t blame Israel for doing what they did. I have nothing to do with it. But I don’t blame them for doing what they did. I think it would’ve been very bad to let them in, including the four — I’m talking about all four — but these two that wanted to get in: Omar and Tlaib.

And I think it would be a very bad thing for Israel, but Israel has to do what they want to do. But I would not cut off aid to Israel. And I can’t even believe that we’re having this conversation.

Five years ago, the concept of even talking about this — even three years ago — of cutting off aid to Israel because of two people that hate Israel and hate Jewish people — I can’t believe we’re even having this conversation. Where has the Democratic Party gone? Where have they gone where they’re defending these two people over the State of Israel?

And I think any Jewish people that vote for a Democrat, I think it shows either a total lack of knowledge or great disloyalty.

All right? Thank you very much everybody.

What liberal media?

Michael Bersin @MBersin
CNN: Do you believe your primary opponent (D) is too extreme to beat Donald Trump (r)?
Answer: Only if Donald Trump (r) orders the Reichstag to be set on fire in the week before the election.
8:17 PM · Jul 30, 2019

CNN’s only redeeming value is that they don’t have Chuck Todd.
