It was only a matter of time before someone explained how the Chinese advisors to Chairman Xi Jinping are using President Trump’s inability to hold the coup plotters accountable as evidence they can wait out the President.
This is the crossover, where a lack of accountability for “Spygate” now begins to negatively influence the geopolitical, economic and strategic position of President Trump. However, there’s an upside to this dynamic….
In several interviews the president has noted his preference to keep the DOJ and FBI issues at a distance and deferred action to others. The economic reset is President Trump’s #1 priority. If Trump identifies the lack of DOJ and FBI accountability as an impediment to the economic program, he may become much more engaged.

SHANGHAI—Plodding progress in trade negotiations between the U.S. and China this week is partly the result of a new tactic from Beijing, which increasingly thinks waiting may produce a more-favorable agreement.
U.S. and Chinese trade negotiators held four hours of talks Wednesday, after a dinner the night before, and then wrapped up their first face-to-face meeting since negotiations foundered more than two months ago. Both sides described the talks as constructive and said the next round will be held in September.
[…] “China can take it easy and wait patiently,” said Mei Xinyu, a researcher at a think tank under China’s Commerce Ministry. China’s economy is recovering, he said, while the U.S.’s is likely to slow: “The impact of the trade war falls in the early stage on China’s economy but in a later stage for the U.S. economy.” (read more – paywall)
…Every minute spent outraged at what Comey, McCabe or Muller did yesterday, is one minute less that Bill Barr is being held accountable for what he is not doing today…
Geez people…..blame the President….blame the Chinese……blame everyone…Pfffft
WE DO NOT NEED CHINA……for anything……
I am again supporting what Dutchman…..has already stated….
“There will not be a deal”…… Any deal with China cannot be trusted
I have said this previously……I worked in China and South Korea for over two years.
I worked for an American Computer any that made machines that processed Crystal Boulles……for the manufacturing of LED lighting…..
Everything is going to LED lighting, cars, houses, traffic signals. Huge amounts of cash is being made.
Crystal Boulles are the foundation for making Led Lights. Just like silicon disks are the base for making computer chips.
We sold a lot of our systems to South Korea and China. America is not involved involved with extensive producing of LED’s much in our country.
Russia is actually number one in the world at this.
Anyway, my point is…..to work with the Chinese customers, we had to hire local Chinese who could speak English as well as Chinese.
We hired a woman to be in charge of a group of Chinese for our hiring locals for these purposes
After a while, this Chinese women “Stole” the electrical schematics for our systems, The Chinese stopped buying our systems, since they had the primary design, and our company went broke.
And another little tidbit of information. Most of the people in Supervisor positions working for these Chinese company are from: “Taiwan”
It is easier to get into America if you are from Taiwan.
True Story….True…..
Just walk away…… just walk away….. Do not trust the Chinese…
Don’t worry about the election……The only ones who will raise a shit storm are the one who are payed by the Chinese…..
Oh yeah…..Ya know how she got the schematics?
She was having sex with many of the middle managers….After they would fall asleep, she made copies of everything they had.

PDJT WILL GO NUCLEAR WITH THE CRIMINAL CODES WHEN READY; NOT WORRYING ABOUT CHINA
There are many factors in this China Trade War.
Written: In several interviews the president has noted his preference to keep the DOJ and FBI issues at a distance and deferred action to others. The economic reset is President Trump’s #1 priority. If Trump identifies the lack of DOJ and FBI accountability as an impediment to the economic program, he may become much more engaged.
IMO-All My Replies:
PDJT will become more engage if Barr does not follow normal investigative/prosecutorial policies and procedures. PDJT is motivated to launch the Criminal Codes for many reasons (1) MAGA will be reversed in 6-years (2) Constitution will be eliminated with No Rule Of Law (3) The U.S. will become a 3rd world country without the Rule of Law (4) PDJT will be known as the weakest President in U.S. history who allowed the U.S. to change into a 3rd world country by not implementing the criminal codes (5) PDJT, his family and business empire will be at risk when he leaves office because there is no rule of law. (6) etc.
PDJT will not alter his Brilliant 3-year strategic plan to go Nuclear with the Criminal Codes because of China.
PDJT did/has Brilliantly Changed his 3-year plan daily because of Criminals trying to block his plan. Great Leaders always change Strategic battle plans when fighting a war. PDJT has outplayed all the criminals.
PDJT timing and major chess moves in making sure the Nuclear Codes are launched against criminals will be done according to his plan; not China.
PDJT is playing the political game (arms-length between PT and Barr) for obvious reasons.
PDJT is indirectly leading the Investigations.
When PDJT interviewed Attorney General Barr; (one example)
1. You (AG) are expected to do your sworn duty and use normal Investigative/Prosecutorial policies and procedures in investigating all criminal acts.
2. You will follow the evidence even if it leads directly into the FBI/DOJ; you will follow the evidence where ever it leads and prosecute according to your sworn duty.
3. If the President believes the Constitution is at risk as a result of corruption (coup) and there is a paper/digital/testimonies trails of evidence that the President and the American People sees; the President has a sworn duty to make sure the Attorney General is doing his sworn duty and prosecute those criminal acts if the standard of evidence is within normal prosecutorial guidelines
4. If you do not follow Normal Investigative/Prosecutorial Policies and Procedures you will be fired, you can have legal liability and I will directly Managed the FBI and DOJ.
5. A/G works for the Pleasure of the President of the United States.
6. The Constitution states the Justice department and the FBI is not an independent agency.
7. The Department of Justice and the FBI are Entities that serve at the Pleasure of the President.
8. The President has the authority to talk to FBI and the Attorney General about Crimes and Investigations, what-ever the Oval Office “Wants”. If Congress doesn’t like this, they would have to change the laws (Constitution).
9. ETC.
PDJT has many paths to ensure the nuclear codes are launched against all criminals.
PDJT will not and should not alter his ever changing Brilliant 3-year strategic plan of going Nuclear with the Criminal Codes because of China.

We have processes and procedures. The President, being the ultimate target, has delegated his relevant authority to the chief law enforcement officer of our Government: William Barr. The investigations that are taking place are taking place in secret, and will continue to do so until indictments are unsealed. There’s nothing that the Chinese can do to “worry along” that process. They should be worrying about hundreds of manufacturing plants re-appearing on American soil and quickly becoming the new “go-to source” that the rest of the world seeks out. It is called competition, and this country above all still remembers [somewhere …] how to do it.

Making sure all criminals are investigated is very complex and strategic and timing is important. Even the delays of P/T plan have turned out to be a benefit for the P/T prosecutors. The criminals destroyed themselves over the past 3-years by creating additional mountains of paper and digital trails of evidence that is everywhere and everyone has seen. Now there is a library of testimonies with conflicting statements. Criminals who aided and abetted are willing to plea because they see what is about to happen etc.
These criminal cases are easy to prosecute and much easier to prosecute than it was 3-years ago.

The beauty of normal policies and procedures is that they are written and when those who do not follow them are easily identified.
By following the Investigative/prosecutorial policies and procedures of Hillary Emails will allegedly easily show that Comey didn’t follow them. What we the people have seen appears to show many policies and procedures were not followed. If Comey did this for political reasons; this is a criminal act.
Immunity Deals for those involved in Hillary’s emails without proper consideration is easily identified. Alleged criminals can’t give each other immunity deal and they can be reversed.
Etc. Etc. Etc.
The plan by prosecutors should always be to go to trial; destroy the criminals financially, through years of stress and many plea deals will be made as a result. Prosecutors in these cases should never be fearful of going through a trial if they are holding an unbeatable hand of paper/digital/testimonies trails of evidence.

Everyone knows it. The public evidence is overwhelming. We can only guess at the evidence that has not been made public. The fact that there have been no arrests for attempting to overthrow our government is staggering to the mind and is depressing to the beliefs I had in the justice system. Now, the opposition just flaunts it’s ability to violate the law. We have congressmen and Senators walking illegal aliens across the border. In the case of one Senator from Oregon, he walked an 81/2 month pregnant woman who had been denied asylum, into California so she could have her baby. It will be an anchor baby…so the whole family will be able to come to the USA. He had cameras, and others to film the occasion. He walked right thru a port of entry and no one stopped him or the illegal. Laws mean nothing anymore if you are one of the privileged. Us ordinary people are taking notice.
I was called for jury duty. Told the judge unless the defendant was a politician or wealthy I would vote not guilty regardless of the charges or evidence: then gave my reasons why. I was placed under arrest and spent the next 6 hours in a holding cell. After court was over I was brought before the judge who lectured me and then I was released.

Whether it’s mock trial prior to, or piled onto real one– mixing it up. First start by trumping up a buttload of charges (they don’t have to actually apply). Deny them bail, & then throw them in solitary confinement for a few days over a bogus infraction. Have some former attorney’s testify against them, withhold any exculpatory evidence, present some fake evidence, throw in a couple phony witnesses too. Let them sweat it out.
The judge can be in on it, & the jury told to disregard these special extras in deciding the verdict. Maybe have the jury dress-up… in MAGA hats, cargo shorts, & flip-flops. Add a few rednecks in camouflage hunting attire, maybe a Walmart shopper & employee with vest… might as well have fun with it.

“The President does his best work when he is angry”
I’m sorry, but IMHO, anyone who believes that just doesn’t understand DJT.
Long time,ago, a builder building major commercial buildings in NEW York. He arrived on site,1/2 hour before first employees, so he could observe which arrived early, and which raced in at last minute to avoid being late. Used it to inform his decisions on raises and promotiins.
Paid employees every Friday, in cash. I DID say itcwas a long time ago, right?
Has a big safe, in his office to hold the cash. So, these crooks break in on Thursday nite. They aren’t safecrackers, but they have guns.
Owner comes in in the morning, they grab him and put a gun to his head.
“OPEN the safe, or we’ll KILL you!”
“Afraid I can’t open the safe, so go ahead.” he says…..
And they don’t.
“See, YOU want the money,,I want to live. There is no way you are going to kill me, if I don’t open the safe, cause then you won’t get the $.
On the other hand, once I open the safe, nothing to keep you from killing me, and you might figure your less likely to be,caught, if I can’t finger you in court.
I notice your not wearing masks.”
“So, if we were wearing masks, you would open it?”
“No, not really, as your wearing masks doesn’t change the equation. You still wouldn’t kill me, if I don’t open it, but MIGHT kill me, if I do.
Anyway, my workers are going to start showing up in a few minutes, so at thecrisk of hastening my own demise, if your gonna kill me better get to it.
Coarse, as I am a man if some means, you can count on it there will be,a lotvof pressure on the police to find you, and you won’t even have the money. Shame, really.”
The robbers thought about it, and left.
IF the man had allowed his emotions to dictate his actions, in a,situation with an uncertain outcome, his FEAR would have had him opening the safe, and in all likelihood getting killed.
And he wouldn’t have lived, gone on to father a child, tell the child this story as part of teaching the child this valuable lesson; when faced with a situation with an uncertain outcome, you DO NOT allow your emotions to dictate your actions. Instead you PUT ASIDE your emotions, and think “what actions can I take, that will increase the chances of a GOOD outcome, and decrease the odds of a BAD outcome, and use THAT to detirmine your actions”
And if the man had died, we wouldn’t have DJT as President, cause he never would have been born.
PDJT does NOT allow his EMOTIONS to dictate his actions. To him, its just common sense.

America was to continue to bleed not turn around! The Globalists will never let China make a win-win deal Donald Trump. They will let China implode before that.
This “weak Trump” narrative was handed to China and the US media. They have no choice but to run with it.

Essentially, The Chinese just called out the DOJ and William Barr…..President Trump can’t indict or arrest anyone….The falls squarely on Barr & Durham’s shoulders…..As I’ve said before..The pressure on Barr to enforce the Law shouldn’t be an issue…..However, in this case and with the particular people, the crimes and agencies involved the pressure to enforce the law has got to be unimaginable…..It all comes down to Barr….It’s that simple….

If the Chinese think waiting for the election is going to give them better results, they obviously didn’t watch the Democrats debate last night

Trump doesn’t care about China. No deal means manufacturing leaves China and lands somewhere friendly and tariff money goes to any US business injured by the tariffs. China’s plan was taking over the world by dominating the economy, like Russia does to it’s EU gas customers. Trump would sign a deal with China but I think he wants to bankrupt them first. Broke communists are not a threat when they can’t feed their war machine.
I guarantee you Trump doesn’t give a rats ass about a Chinese deal, how many Billions will it take before Xi understands that.

Greg,
Agree, and whats the hurry? Within reason bleed them slow; you get a lot more BLOOD ($) that way.
Difference between slitting their throat, and letting them bleed out quick, or strapping them to a table, hooking up an I.V. and drawing blood from them, a pint at a time, leaving them with just enough to keep them producing.
They owe us a BUNCH of money.
Lets collect as much of it back, as we can.

“China’s economy is recovering, he said, while the U.S.’s is likely to slow..” I’m not sure what it is in Chinese, but here in flyover country, we call that whistling past the graveyard.

Barr is the scapegoat. POTUS handed him the keys. When no one is held accountable, Barr takes the heat.
Enjoy the show.

I was so afraid I was right..they promised Trump to let the show go on..in the end..like with Mueller..he nor anyone in his family will be legally harmed…in return..they do NOTHING TO NOBODY for the coup..since it would greatly harm intel relations with foreign intel scum who helped Brennan…plus mortally wound the FBI..DOJ..and our own intel…they will insure Trump is done in 2020…nobody in the coup gets prosecuted…and Trump goes back to public life….God please let me be wrong..but sadly I am not..

The Chinese are looking for the light at the end of of the tunnel, no surprise they are painting a false light of desperate hope in 2020.
The Chinese economy should be there #1 priority, not how Trump stands with the swamp.

The Trump Department of Justice’s failure to prosecute ANYONE of the multitude of high-level criminals–known to have committed and conspired to hide multiples of Felonies, is damaging a heck of a lot more than the bleak trade negotiations–the slow motion nightmare of a dissolving Rule of Law (thereby disintegration of Civil Society) is horrifying to watch. Not one of those we all know to have participated in seditious (and possibly treasonous at times) espionage, court and prosecutorial misconduct, national security and other violations has been perp-walked or indicted.
The “investigations” by congress, by Inspectors General, by FBI, by DoJ, by Independent Counsel have all served to obfuscate, delay, hide, excuse, or otherwise deny Justice.
Trump needs to ignore the lawless unconstitutional opinions of treacherous Judges and RINO advisors. He needs to Direct his Attorney General to proceed with all due haste; or he will prove to be his own worst enemy. I’m amazed that he can stand up to and fight against all but himself. He must take charge and start ordering people around to get done what’s required. Sooner, rather than later. He doesn’t seem to understand his own advice and cannot seem to consent to his own counsel. Enough Already. Lock Down the Border, stop ALL IMMIGRATION, start putting criminals from illegals day workers to Heads of Departments of State or prior Presidents in PRISON.

Not sure why Barr refused to prosecute Comey on leaking classified information to the public. He is the reason for the witch hunt in the first place. Do they know each other? Disgusting.
I hope Barr is looking for larger crimes to charge Comey with because his refusal to prosecute is not going over well with the American people. He is turning into another Sessions as it relates to the gang that tried to overthrow a duly elected president.

I hope against hope that Durham and Huber are doing something. They went against innocent folks and put them in jail in a heartbeat, yet Barr is refusing to prosecute? At this point, Barr is an empty suit. Hope he comes through for the American people, but not looking too positive from this perspective.
