      Absolutely correct. Victoria and Joe D. were just on Lou Dobbs and not only did they not address the alleged delay in the big Barr declassification that was supposed to be by today, not even an explanation (I fully expected Lou to ask about that) but they clearly told Lou that Hillary WILL NEVER be charged.

      At some point, people are going to start thinking. PDJT needs to stop having the Hannitys and the other tick-tock merchants stoke the flames if there is never going to be a fire. People are already weary of it and some of the diehards are pissed. PDJT will end up having to deal with the effects of dashed expectations among that segment of his base next year and he needs to stop encouraging people from feeding the fire.

        Joe D needs to apologize for his declassification prediction. And since it appears he was wrong about that (he’s still got 3 hours left but it’s not looking good) then maybe he shouldn’t be making any predictions any more, including predictions about whether or not Hillary will be charged.

    By the way the declassification process will start this week. There are going to be documents released, I think, by Wednesday. The Attorney General, as I understand it, is in the process of getting those ready to come out. There are going to be some of the Devin Nunes documents that he requested, and then a series of other releases will come after that.

      DECLINE TO PROSECUTE or DEFERRED PROSECUTION (DP): In some cases, the prosecutor may decide not to proceed against a defendant, in which case the prosecutor declines to prosecute the case.

    Apparently, there are additional issues of more significance and potentially more evidence with regard to Mr. Comey.

    FTA:
    “Although a technical violation, the DOJ did not want to “make its first case against the Russia investigators with such thin margins and look petty and vindictive,” a source told me, explaining the DOJ’s rationale.

    But Comey and others inside the FBI and the DOJ during his tenure still face legal jeopardy in ongoing probes by the IG and Barr-appointed special prosecutor John Durham. Those investigations are focused on the origins of the Russia investigation that included a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrant targeting the Trump campaign at the end of the 2016 election, the source said.”

    https://thehill.com/opinion/judiciary/455616-james-comeys-next-reckoning-is-imminent-this-time-for-leaking

    Interestingly, the following passage indicates the IG report may be forthcoming sooner than I thought, as they’re waiting for Comey’s lawyers to complete a review:

    “While they cautioned that the IG’s final report won’t be complete until it gets feedback from Comey’s lawyers in the next few days, it is expected to conclude that the former FBI director improperly took with him memos that were FBI property when he was fired, transmitted classified information via an insecure email account, and shared some of the memos with his private lawyers. ”
    No guarantees on anything, but the article from The Hill gives me a bit more optimism than initial “oh-no” reports.

Oddly his twitter thread was supposed to show how they were the good guys that were going to bring the pain at any moment. The “white hat” theories are just dumb at this point.

    Maybe they can wrangle up a conspiracy charge that encompasses all the bad actors but if they can’t manage to charge Comey or McCabe for obvious things then what are the chances really? What a joke.

    There could be additional person’s involved, where the investigation is not yet complete. The case against Comey could be stronger if all crimes charged together. It could be that all these separate crimes overlap each other, involve others, and they are not quite ready for full indictments yet .

    RE: Comey… Don’t mix the IG reports. There was always a SEPARATE IG investigation into Comey specifically. Special guy that he is. The larger Conspiracy is SO MUCH LARGER than this Comey memo leak deal (and related self-serving behavior). FISA abuse, for example… pretty big deal.

    From the article others linked above:

    https://thehill.com/opinion/judiciary/455616-james-comeys-next-reckoning-is-imminent-this-time-for-leaking

    “Although a technical violation, the DOJ did not want to “make its first case against the Russia investigators with such thin margins and look petty and vindictive,” a source told me, explaining the DOJ’s rationale.

    But Comey and others inside the FBI and the DOJ during his tenure still face legal jeopardy in ongoing probes by the IG and Barr-appointed special prosecutor John Durham. Those investigations are focused on the origins of the Russia investigation that included a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrant targeting the Trump campaign at the end of the 2016 election, the source said.”

    Very important: “[…] make its first case against the Russia investigators with such thin margins […]”

    “First case” is pretty specific wording.

    Also, according to Solomon’s source: “Comey and others inside the FBI and the DOJ during his tenure still face legal jeopardy in ongoing probes by the IG and Barr-appointed special prosecutor John Durham”.

    General statement of stuff we’ve already been told… but I think those SOURCED comments speak for themselves. Who is “the source”? We don’t know of course… we never do. But Solomon has been disclosing detail all along, for the past 18 months or whatever. It doesn’t seem that his “opinion” (odd) pieces are full of fluff and/or too much speculation on HIS part, but more reporting on information disclosed and/or leaked to him. His sources would appear to be people who have pretty good explanations for some pretty important and complicated stuff.

    As Sundance has mentioned previously: every leak has a purpose.

    And as ristvan has mentioned previously: if you’re going to indict the Conspirators… you get one shot to get it right. It’s complicated. So don’t eff it up.

    JOHN SOLOMON: James Comey Expected to be Skewered by DOJ IG Probe Into Leaked Memos – But Comey Will Escape Prosecution

    DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz is preparing a very damning report on James Comey’s conduct in the days leading up to his firing that will likely conclude he leaked classified information (memos) and lacked candor (lied).

    According to a report out by award-winning investigative journalist John Solomon, Horowitz’s team referred James Comey for possible prosecution for leaking contents of his classified memos, but DOJ prosecutors under Bill Barr have decided to decline prosecution.

    John Solomon does say however that Comey still isn’t out of the weeds yet and faces legal jeopardy in the ongoing investigation into FISA abuse and the origins of Spygate by US Attorney John Durham.

    Comey’s ‘Trump memos’ were supposedly classified after he gave them to his friend to leak to the New York Times — this technical violation is what the DOJ used as an excuse not to prosecute Comey.

    How convenient. The FBI changed the classification on Comey’s memos after they were leaked…coincidence? We think not.

      Over the last month, PDJT’s poll numbers have declined from even to a -9 among those who either strongly support or strongly oppose his re-election. And his continued promising without delivering certainly has to be a big part of that decline.

      Additionally, if there are no prosecutions, then he is also partly responsible for making all MAGA patriots look like moronic lemmings.

    LACK OF INTENT, AGAIN!
    Why not, it worked for Hillary Clinton, right?

    Solomon reported that according to sources, the IG report will conclude that Comey improperly took the memos that were considered FBI property to his home when he was fired, sent classified material over an unsecured private email account (ironically just like Hillary Clinton did), and shared classified memos with his lawyers.

    The IG report will also state that Comey lacked candor (lied) to FBI agents who went to Comey’s house to retrieve the classified memos when he ‘failed’ to tell the agents that he emailed some of the classified memos.

    Judicial Watch obtained 6 documents on Wednesday backing up this report that FBI agents went to Comey’s house to retrieve the classified memos nearly one month after he was fired.

    “Ironically, Comey’s decision not to charge [Hillary] Clinton for violating the Espionage Act for mishandling classified information on her email server mirrors the same rationale that Barr’s DOJ applied in declining prosecution of him: a lack of evidence of intent,” John Solomon said.

    If Horowitz’s team can’t get DOJ prosecutors to take action against Comey, Durham and Barr better prosecute him for his FISA abuse and role in Spygate.

    Alright enouigh about Solomon’s report. It’s fine for someone to post it here but it’s not necessary to keep posting it over and over again. I swear some of you are masochists or sadists. What if he’s wrong?

        That doesn’t even make sense.

        Someone was the first person to post the Solomon “news”. Who knows if it’s true or not. I don’t think Solomon is infallible. Then other people kept re-posting it. Why? Do they get some kind of pleasure blasting potentially bad news over and over again? It’s related to the “we’re all gonna die” Eeyores who just love to predict gloom and doom.

        I’d hate to be around these people in the middle of a war. They seem to take pleasure at the prospect of losing ….

          Also, wouldn’t this mean the IG report was released to the small circle for feedback? But isn’t it too early for that yet? I thought I read earlier that it won’t be released until September at the earliest. Remember in those periods of time before previous IG reports, that false stories were circulating? It’s impossible to verify this until the report is released.

    You know, nobody got jerked around more than the libtard base by people like Rachel Maddow. For years they were told Trump was not going to win the GOP nomination, not going to win the election, going to be indicted, going to be impeached. Imagine being a libtard suffering so much disappointment. 🙂 Rachel Maddow’s ratings have tanked.

    Maddow slipping into fifth place overall with a total audience of 2.487 million viewers, behind Hannity (3.332 million), Tucker Carlson Tonight (3.145 million), The Ingraham Angle (2.591 million) and The Five (2.503 million). The five top cable news shows finished in the same order among viewers 25-54, the demographic group most valued by advertisers, with Hannity drawing a total audience of 527,000 viewers, and Maddow well behind with 384,000.

        You weren’t a libtard though, were you? They were subjected to extraordinary torture. 🙂 All of the dire predictions, walls closing in, noose tightening, indictments around the corner, and every single prediction was a total flop. That’s probably why they’re tuning out. They’re sick of the rollercoaster, getting their hopes up only to have them dashed. We think we’re battered, they’re a lot worse off and they were battered by their own party!

    Jussie Smollett: Judge dismisses motions by ‘Empire’ actor’s attorneys

    Wednesday, July 31, 2019 12:57PM
    CHICAGO — A Cook County judge Wednesday dismissed motions filed by Jussie Smollett’s attorneys.

    Attorney Tina Glandian appeared in front of Judge Michael Toomin on behalf of Smollett to overturn the judge’s own decision to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate how the actor’s case was handled, but it didn’t work. That special prosecutor who hasn’t been selected by the judge yet could recharge Smollett.

    Wednesday’s hearing to overturn that decision was crucial to his case and Smollett’s attorneys lost. The judge dismissed the motion for a new judge and also denied a motion by Smollett’s attorneys to intervene in the case.

    Baltimore’s murder rate higher than those of Honduras, El Salvador, Guatemala!!!

    by WorldTribune Staff, July 31, 2019

    The murder rate in Baltimore is 56 per 100,000 residents. That is more than the murder rates in the Northern Triangle countries of Central America — El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras — an analysis said.

    The Princeton Policy Advisors analysis reported the murder rate in El Salvador is 50 per 100,000, in Honduras it is 38, and in Guatemala it is 22…

    John Brennan briefed the Gang of Eight separately on Russian interference. I dont recall if it was individually or by party but not together as a group of 8. There is Brennan’s MF criminal intent BTW. The next day I believe, Harry Reid sent the below letter to James Comey. Brennan had been trying to light Comey off for months:

    “I made sure that anything that was involving U.S. persons, including anything involving the individuals involved in the Trump campaign was shared with the bureau [FBI].”

    Ultimately, however, it was Comey’s regret for botching HRC investigation and the Reid letter that started a counter intelligence investigation into candidate and current President PDJT

    https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/3035844-Reid-Letter-to-Comey.html

    So James Comey is a wrong doing rat, but he was duped into investigating PDJT. He lied and leaked but this wasn’t his idea. Evidence points to John Brennan and I gotta believe Obama knew about the Go8 briefings at a minimum

    Nice essay here about how POTUS’ strategy in taking on The Squad, Cummings, Sharpton, etc.

    https://amgreatness.com/2019/07/30/donald-trump-at-the-overton-window/

    Includes a discussion of how POTUS is working to shift the discussion on race and “racism” (working to move the Overton Window).

    Kimball sums up the race scam thusly:

    “The ethic of one-sided discriminatory intimidation has been the Democrats’ meal ticket from Jim Crow through the comically misnamed “Great Society” right down to our current crop of race hustlers like Elijah Cummings, Al Sharpton, Maxine Waters, not to mention the hundreds of academics who have based their entire careers on race, not scholarship.”

    As Kimball states, there’s still a long way to go in this battle over “racism.” But, he also points out that old truism about Trump — he fights. And you cannot win if you won’t fight.

    With the Russia Hoax dead (removal will be laughed out of the Senate if impeachment is brought), and the border issues gradually improving, the “racism” and accompanying battles are the final battleground for 2020. Even John Brennan has jumped on the bandwagon. He realizes that his fate comes down to trying to convince the American public that POTUS’ presidency has initiated a moral panic around the issue of race. Far way we’ve come since “POTUS is a Russian asset,” but if you’re Brennan you work with what you have left.

    One of the reasons why Obama is given such lofty status by some — and he will be coming in to aide his old wingman in the general, riding the heels of his to-be bestseller book to make the pitch — is because he is presented as historically necessary for an unredeemed America. A “savior” of sorts, to help cleanse the USA of its original sins. He’s our moral Moses.

    Well, if you eliminate the con game of “racism” before the savior comes back on the scene, then you no longer need a savior, In fact, the unwashed masses might turn on the savior for agitating them in the first place.

  47. If Pillsbury is correct, what’s behind the shift from Lighthizer to Mnuchin as ‘leader’ of the US trade team? Is this a behind-the-scenes concession to Wall Street at the expense of Main Street? That would also help explain expanding Chinese optimism and assertiveness. Publicly, Trump is no hurry for a trade deal. Who or what would be exerting pressure on him contrary to this public stance?
