1. One thing to close down campaign finance violations--quite another to halt child predation cases

He may try, but I think the collective outrage--including among SDNY career prosecutors will make that very difficult.

The courts have likewise shown a willingness not to allow certain facts to be hidden from the public, even when DOJ demands such redactions.

3. Easy to predict Barr will try to do the abysmal. Doesn't take any forethought to predict. BUT...

note, documenting, and ready to spill the beans on EVERYTHING corrupt Barr has done as AG. I don't see him coming through all this without eventually facing some consequences.

That said, I dearly hope the House comes down on him like a hammer.

7. If it goes away it will be because it touches people higher up the chain.

This will go away like the Panama Papers did. You start exposing the REAL rich in the world for who and what they are and people and things disappear.

8. There are hundreds of victims! Surely that flood can't be stopped

Besides, it's too high profile now. If disBarr couldn't have stopped the arrest, he can't stop it at all now. He may try to sabotage it or slow it down, but it's a juggernaut that is still picking up steam. If disBarr was any good, he would've stopped it before the arrest. All those videos and nudie pictures - surely some of them are with Spanky Spank-Me-Now and young teenage girls. This shit will leak out and Spanky willl be toast - burnt toast; burnt toast with cheezwhiz on it.

big legal problems. The entire US gymnastics team spoke truth to power: their "doctor." The me-too movement is not going to disappear.

Barr will disappear that faster than Lindsey's head going up Trump's ass.
