So, it has occurred...

[Hugin]

Trump has fired Mueller via Barr.

It's clear that Mueller's investigation wasn't even nearly completed and the so-called report was a vehicle invented by Trump/Barr to launder the firing as mission accomplished.

We've know all along Trump is too much of a craven coward to fire someone directly, as demonstrated with the Comey firing in particular.

What is to be done now? Why aren't there people in the streets? I had thought there were go teams ready to respond.

First of all, I think it's important to get Mueller and others in front of various House Committees ASAP.

1. If mueller was fired prematurely by Whitewash barr then the House Democrats should hire

Him to finish his report and refer impeachment charges.


I guess that close friendship between Mueller and whitewash Barr is over permanently.

3. Good plan.

All for it.

2. But all I read on media is that

Mueller & Barr know each other and respect each other.

4. Sounds like a signature Trump move getting a friend to fire a friend.

Maybe it was Barr's idea to soften it by adding the "report" malarkey.

5. The counterintelligence probe continues at main justice,

which is why Barr said Mueller’s report does not exonerate Trump.

There are MANY more threads and continuing investigations and cases now in other venues. They can continue without Mueller, and they will.

6. Good.

Keep the heat on.

If there was nothing to the Russian collusion evidence, why did Sessions recuse himself?

[Qutzupalotl]

7. Exactly. And if they did nothing wrong, why did everyone lie?

So...stay tuned. The process is still playing out. Barr’s spin cannot change the underlying facts nor what we all witnessed.

8. People are not in the streets because they are cowed. The courage that is required

does not exist among our citizenry. Unlike the citizens of other nations, even ones that already have dictators, our citizens are cowards and would rather accept the consequences that are dealt to them than to defend their rights or defend this nation against its enemies.

Sure, there are a few of us who stand up and fight back where we can. But we're a minority of the population. And we cannot do it without massive support of the population that believes all of this is wrong. Instead, they tune it out and hope it'll go away. And, mostly, it has gone away, before.

This time, it's not going away. tRump is not the cause of all of this, he is a symptom. With or without him, the evil plan being executed (for the past 30-35 years) against us, Liberals, Progressives, Democrats, and the working class in general, will continue until they have eradicated us. That is what they want to do, they want to eradicate us.

And we, as a nation of citizens, will continue to whistle past the graveyard while evil continues to descend across everything our fallen heroes, our dads, grand-dads, moms, grand-moms, sisters, brothers, uncles and aunts sacrificed and died to build and protect.

We should be deeply ashamed of ourselves.
