(a quote at the end of the clip)

Nah - that "trickle" will go away SO fast!!!!

THEY DO NOT CARE!!!!!!!!

They think that they can get away with ANYTHING after the Republican white-wash of the impeachment.

BUT WE DO CARE!

They can be stopped.

GET OUT THE VOTE - THAT WILL DO IT!!!!!!!

2. Barr's Latest: I Ain't Working Under His Twitter-Calls Is Just Another Deflection!

It's a look here not there news cycle move. Don't look at what DOJ and I have asked for, look at this big chink in the seams which is me getting tired of being shamed and bullied in public by my boss. Isn't that the bigger story he's asking us to swallow?

Trumps MO which is to grab the news cycle goes down like this... Within hours of bad news, and the latest scandal being worse than the previous one, the PR plan is to throw out a bone to make it look like the nightmare is almost over but that corruption thing you just saw is nothing compared to what is next for this inside staffer that rebelled. Now, Barr is on the Twitter Chopping block! - That is a big story, but these are just throw away stories to distract and fade within days, some within hours.

The bigger real stories yesterday:
1. Trump uses his own DOJ to limit the pending sentencing against his co-conspirator found guilty in part, for lying about the timing and release by WikiLeaks about the anticipated hacked emails during his campaign including the DNC server. Notice the MO is used over, and over again to this day! Currently we are under the spell of Rudy again anticipating yet another Son of Biden (SOB) scandal to deflect the bigger story that they all were in on the plot and the Ukraine SOB theory can make it all go away, even back to 2015-16.

2. Senate's bipartisan vote yesterday against the President authorizing war with Iran.

3. Former Trump Chief of Staff, John Kelly defends Vindman and Bolton supports Kelly's comments.
