President Trump announced via Twitter that following a meeting to discuss the current state of 2020 election fraud with Attorney General Bill Barr, the U.S. AG will be departing his position before Christmas:
“Just had a very nice meeting with Attorney General Bill Barr at the White House. Our relationship has been a very good one, he has done an outstanding job! As per letter, Bill will be leaving just before Christmas to spend the holidays with his family…”
Attorney General Bill Barr provided the following resignation letter:
.
While the topic of the meeting today is briefly mentioned within the resignation letter, that subject matter is conspicuously absent from the body of content. As with the entire career of Bill Barr, this could be interpreted two ways.
♦ Either Bill Barr is unwilling to steer the DOJ during a time of election challenge and turmoil…
Or….
♦ By resigning Bill Barr just inoculated himself from criticism if he was to support the DOJ findings of election investigations from outside offices.
Given Bill Barr’s history of conduct in the DOJ approach to the Flynn case (cowardice), the former seems most likely.
It also does not seem coincidental this resignation decision was reached on the same day the Daily Mail published a highly critical article about Bill Barr’s decision-making during the 2020 election cycle.
DAILY MAIL – Attorney General Bill Barr used the force of his office to instruct prosecutors investigating Hunter Biden not to take any steps that might cause the probe to be publicly revealed in the run-up to the election.
The directive, reported in the Wall Street Journal, was in keeping with existing Justice Department policy against taking investigatory steps close to an election that might interfere with it.
Barr and his team took steps to ‘insulate’ the investigations, according to the report, even as President Donald Trump repeatedly demanded a probe of his political rival’s son.
Those instructions were given orally in ‘conversations with prosecutors,’ according to the Journal, which would appear to suggest there is no paper trail for it. They included asking if staff members involved in the situation could be trusted. (read more)
He was trying to save the integrity of the Department of Justice but it is too far gone for that. He lacked the courage necessary to accept that fact and to take charge and clean house. Or perhaps he did his best to shield the guilty. Let’s hope the now interim Attorney General has a set of brass balls. But I seriously doubt it.
Did you mean glass instead of brass ?

Don’t a lot of the swamp creatures from both parties bail about this time in the cycle?
The entire “Problem” with Republicans that we elect (Senate & House) continues to be that once Elected, they presume to think they they are entitled to do what they think best. This is exactly wrong. In my view, they should be always be doing what the Majority of those that voted them in…TELL them to do! Most people, I know I don’t, are not voting to give these people unfettered discretion. And I think the argument “I have to do what I think is best for all my constituents” is Hogwash. No…you do what the Majority of those that voted you in TELL you to do. They are nothing more than simple Servants and should be treated as such.
Good riddance! He finally did what I have been asking him in emails to do for months.
This is one of those statements that sounds good; but, really is a deeply alarming statement. This can easily be interpreted to suggest that he is on board with and is encouraging all governmental agencies to downplay any and all election irregularities to “assure the integrity” and “promote public confidence” in the election. We’ve already seen him do this with his earlier statement when they supposedly looked into a specific allegation and didn’t see anything that would impact the outcome. That was him trying to “assure the integrity” and “promote public confidence” of the election.
This is one of those political statements that sounds good; but, means just the exact opposite of what they implied at the time it was said. Their (in)actions have already told us its true meaning.
That was my impression as well given what he’s said & done in the past. I’m sure the same is true for maintaining public confidence in the FBI as well.
Yup. Weasel words .
ASSURE: to tell someone confidently that something is true, especially so that they do not worry
ENSURE: to make something certain to happen
Like in the movie “Knight and Day”,…listen for certain KEY words, like ‘safe and secure’; when you hear them say those words, you know they plan to kill you!”
…Not quite first chuckle of the day, but I’m happy to see good reference to that GOOD movie…thank you.
That is the statement of a con man.
To me, the “purview” line sounds like Barr’s not wanting to influence politics, when of course, pretty much anything the DOJ does affects politics. Their true purview is simply justice and truth, and both swiftly, regardless of the political fallout.
Barr claimed to be not being political when was exactly that. How he squares his actions with all those fine speeches he made while AG is unfathomable.
That’s exactly what he’s saying. The churching up of it is just creating plausible deniability.
Its called Swampspeak. Just as experienced treepers have “learned to read WordPress”, that is, to read what commenters MEAN, and not necesarily what their written words “say”, whenever listening to any Swamp creature, or reading their words, you must know how to interpret Swampspeak.
A tip, start off with the assumption that what they REALLY think is 180 degrees from what they, at first glance, appear to be saying, that will give you a fairly close starting point.
The polite word salad nonsense w/these people gets old.
“ By the book .” Comes to mind.
With most of these swamp weasels it is “by the book” and then when there is no penalty for what they have done, it is “buy my book!”
Once I realized he was truly a “Bushie”…I knew he would never be on board with the MAGA agenda. Bushies are much worse than any Democrat.
How can you “assure the integrity” when there is no integrity of this election? The statement is a non starter.
“to do all we can to assure the integrity of elections and promote public confidence in their outcome.”
That is ALWAYS what they are responsible for and, based upon several demonstrations I’ve seen online about how secure voting machines AREN’T and how easy they are to hack along with the explosive forensic analysis of the MI Dominion machine, they haven’t done that job even REMOTELY. So, I’ll leave you with these words of wisdom from Richard Starkey (aka Ringo Star) from years ago: “Everything government touches turns to cr*p.”
Lin Wood says it’s part of the plan, I will wait and see.
Meh.
Billy Bagpipes wrote a nice letter. Good for one KFC voucher. (Legs and wings only, no fillet burgers. Drink option Pepsi with no refills and only medium fries.)
Pretty neat how the outline format autofills as you type in the new commenting platform.
“People fighting for our freedom”?
Something to remember: I am an Australian, I was the first to point out that the Antrim county flip occurred in just one 26 second time step, and therefore the “official” Michigan excuse must be a lie.
Did you download the data and analyze it yourself? Or were you sitting back and waiting on others on the far side of the planet to fight to save your Constitutional Republic?
Mike, you know who should be fighting? YOU!!
First, I don’t own a computer. Second, I work 60 hours a week and have a family and a home to take care of and it was 20 degrees Fahrenheit in my office all day today. I’m lucky I have the energy to be reading right now, most nights I’ve been asleep 90 minutes already. There’s a lot of news today. Third, how dare you sit behind a computer and think you know anything of the “fighting” I do. You don’t know anything about me. Your comment is not productive, only intended to create more division.
Thanks for your hard work, but this post just makes it seem like you only did it for the recognition.
L Lin Wood put his career, his business, his reputation on the line and considering what happened to plenty of people who cross the democrats, quite possibly his life and the lives of his loved ones. Come brag to me when you can say all that
Mike, we seem to be at cross purposes. I don’t just sit behind a computer (although my first job out of high school was programmer). I too have a day job. Most of us do.
Fighting? I was reserve only. Mine warfare, demolitions and IEDs. (Remember: the energetic load in the MOAB comes from Australia. (And I didn’t tell them everything I designed).).
Lin Wood won a massive victory against the Lamescream Misleadia (Covington). But how did many on this site treat Wood and Sidney?
I am not a US citizen, yet I have the entire Edison Research time series vote tally data, all of Hunter’s laptop data (excluding kiddie pron) and all 2 million CCP names downloaded and stored offsite. Do I not have the right to get grumpy with US citizens who will not do the same?
You are mad at me for not doing something I wouldn’t have a clue how to do.
On this site Wood and Powell weren’t beaten up at all by me, but here was not nearly as bad as as other sites. I do believe the breitbart piece was more of the same from the likes of Tucker Carlson. I think it’s possible that Sydney Powell over spoke, but I think she believes what she said. She’s another one who I do not believe would intentionally mislead us.
We are gearing up for a battle. Barr is an old man, but he has all the goods on who’s who and what’s what. He needs to get out of the way so the battle can commence. Maybe he steps to the side, maybe he walks away, but the letter suggests the former. McDonaugh (sp?) I heard served with none other than Lt Gen Michael Flynn. So much doubt and negativity on these pages today, but if you slow down and open your eyes there are so many things moving in the right direction. It could all add up to disappointment, it has in the past. But this seems so much different this time, and it needs to play out before we the people take care of it ourselves
i do understand anger clouds judgement. I understand that too well.
Tact is a difficult thing to master. I’m trying to get better at not responding with hostility to every attack on me. It’s how I learned to react and took me a long time to recognize.
We all have different situations. We all have different abilities and we all have different obstacles to overcome. Some of us can handle the weight of the world, and some of us a gallon of milk will bring us to our knees. You should always try to do as much as you can and do the best that you can.
Sometimes at work I get irritated that I get all the hard work and some coworkers get the easy stuff. I’m good at what I do and when I go to work it gets done. Others can’t say that. Maybe it’s the same for you, maybe in this we can relate. They give me the hard stuff because I can get it done. It took me a long time to change my way of thinking, and now I don’t see it as a punishment that I get the hard work. It’s a compliment.
Well, sounds like an amicable settlement. On the home page, Sundance recently posted, once again the guidelines for comment, which clearly caution us all not to make personal attacks, and hey, I KNOW its hard.
I have spent my share of time outs in moderation,…
Let us all TRY to comment within the guidelines; if you disagree with someones opinion, try to counter it with FACTUAL arguments, rather than personal attacks.
A good reminder to us all.
Oh dear, the voice of reason has intervened …
Truth is older, older than the trees, younger than the mountains, growing like a breeze …
The truth: get it the fuck together you useless sepos or this entire planet is going to hell in a hand-cart! Get your crap squared away and start shitting me Tiffany cufflinks or you are going to be in a world of hurt!!
Found you in the bin…. 🙁
…I THINK I can see both sides, and am willing to say you’re both pretty…but I, for one, feel like the guy who unexpectedly walks into a street fight between two gang rivals he didn’t see coming…the issues are cloudy, to say the least…luckily, I am wearing my Superhero underwear, or something, because the negativity is just bouncing off..
Interesting, I used to know someone who when she would have issues with a coworker doing or saying something foolish she would say “you’re so pretty” but i would guess this is a typo. I am pretty awesome haha.
I’m not trying to pick a fight, just have a conversation. Konrad is clearly well read and passionate and I respect his opinions even if I disagree with him. He has a right to his feelings and opinions, and just like you and I, he came here to talk about them. I never intended to disrespect him or anyone here. I love all of you, even the mockers.
President Trump said Barr is leaving just before Christmas, and Bill Barr said he was departing Washington December 23rd. None of that says termination or resignation. Anything coming from Washington is automatically suspect, so why does everyone just believe an implied statement? This lapse in clarity is seemingly intentional, but nobody wants to see it or talk about it.
I say, wait and see.
It pains me greatly to see people at the Tree House going after one another, almost on a personal level. This is the Last Refuge, a place where people like us can come and express our thoughts and share information without fear of getting torn apart by the social media mob.
You think that the Demon Rats would ever allow such back biting on their sites?? The bastards ALWAYS stick together, no matter what- something that our side can’t seem to figure out how to do.
Friends, we are in a war that is about to get a lot hotter even though winter is here. We are up against one of the most formidable enemies of all time – China – and even though we are whistling in the dark, pretending things are hunky dory, we still have no idea how this is going to turn out. I have faith in the Almighty but who knows what the destiny of our great Republic is or what God’s will is for us?
Let us stay focused like a laser on our goal of making sure that our President Trump is inaugurated on January 20th so that he can keep with the MAGA agenda and save our Country.
The evil that has been exposed in the last month is truly terrifying; the depths the Deep State will go to keep their power and their money seems unlimited.
There is no time left for petty attacks or the circular firing squad. Right now our President Trump is the only thing standing between US and the Abyss.
?
thanks for your support. Would you please move to GA ASAP?
Sorry if I’m too late to the discussion to get this read by anyone, but you make a good point. I think the problem with not enough foot soldiers is that there are no appointed civilian leaders and no associated hierarchy. We’ve been hoping, praying that our “elected” leaders and the intricate legal system predicated on the Constitution and so much US history would win the day. Maybe they still will, but if not, if/when we have to face the fact that the “error of Russia,” to quote Our Lady of Fatima, has succeeded in breaking so much in this country and this world that there is no choice but to start a true rebuild, then you will see an organic marshaling of forces and leadership.
Q is that you?
I’m Q if you’re Alex Jones
They’re both frauds.
(Psst! AJ!…tell him “yes, I am Alex Jones”…we might learn something…)
We and presumably PDJT has known about Dominion and Demonrats penchant for fraud for at least 4 years. In some respects for over 50. Give me some convincing reasons for failure to address these issues before the midterms 2 years ago. But there is no excuse. It’s a massive fail. Lurv muh.45, but we waited too dayum long! Now shiites gonna have to get real.
Knowing about it and having the goods on it and the people in place to do something about it are completely different. I pray it does get real. And I’m just saying, for every reason why it could be the worst thing ever, there’s also a reason it could end up the best thing ever. For every excuse you throw at me I will give you right back a scenario where it plays out positively. But nobody knows. Something is going to happen and soon, we cannot keep on like this. The entire country is about to explode on each other. I just pray this change is an improvement.
So…..trust the plan? That’s what you’re going with?
YES!!!!
Myself, and many here trust in GODS plan.
Who do you put your trust in?
Not trying to be confrontational, just curious.
Cheers!!!
The “plan” I’m referring to has nothing to do with religion.
I trust God, man sins. (Interesting autocorrect wanted change “man sins” to mansions, isn’t greed a sin?) I do trust in things that aren’t tangible, but not usually words of politicians.
I don’t know what President Trump has planned. Neither does anyone else commenting here. Nothing I can do alone will change the process. Trying to join forces online in text isn’t wise in my opinion. Why would I announce my intentions, if they included some type of battle? We already know many of our adversaries read these comments, why give them a warning? Right now, this is conversation still. All I’m doing is talking, trying to say that all President Trump’s tweet actually says is Barr is leaving Washington to spend Christmas with his family, and all Barr’s letter says is he is departing Washington to spend Christmas with his family. No resignation, no termination, just leaving and departing. None of us know what will happen tomorrow.
Its not over yet.
Coleslaw?
Bill Barr befuddles me. I want to like and respect him but he doesn’t seem to do much.
Coleslaw?
No sides!
BIG chuckle. hee-hee!
Perzackly!
THERE’S my first chuckle of the day (!)…
It wasn’t even that good of a letter.
Wow.
I am sorry I feel this way about Lin Wood but he is clearly overselling the massive fraud and people are going to jail narrative.
I am not a sucker for these sorts of claims. He seems out of control.
I agree! Lin is selling hopium porn!
Little of what he has said has come true.
Lin has won some spectacular legal cases and I always pay attention to what someone has actually done instead of what they say they will do.
CNN used to agree with you WES, but that didn’t last.
This man L. Lin Wood has made a substantial living suing people for defamation. I don’t think he’d speak out of turn. Just my instincts. His words seem much more believable to me than the others saying Bill Barr is automatically a traitor because he’s doing stuff quietly, so nobody knows anything and it isn’t getting leaked about. Maybe he’s playing golf all day, I don’t know. But the lack of leaks tell me he’s more likely legit. I will wait to make a judgement but continue to stay informed. I just don’t believe all the negativity, none of us really know. We are all upset at this stolen election and everyone who allowed it to happen. Everyone is looking for someone to blame right now and I get it. And we haven’t seen much from Barr. It is just as possible he was laying low and taking notes while keeping our enemies close as it is he is a cover for the deep state.
Im not an attorney, but I believe you have to prove a crime was committed to make an arrest. Many say it was the electors voting tonight that was the end of the crime being committed. Isn’t it a coincidence it’s the same day?
Mike, it’s a question of character.
Trump loses, Lin Wood loses everything.
Trump loses, KFC gobbler loses little.
The obligatory platitudes Wood wrote about Billy Bagpipes mean little.
Who put their entire future reputation on the line? Wasn’t Billy Bagpipes, was it?
Sidney Powell and Lin Wood have put their entire future reputations on the line. Do I trust them? Sure, but this is irrelevant. I have the data they are looking at. I know they are right. Trust is only an issue for those who refuse to look at the data.
The honest answer is, it isn’t over yet and we don’t know.
I am going to remember this conversation, I hope we can pick it back up next Thursday evening and discuss where we’ve gone since tonight, and if Barr may have played a part. None of us know what is going down so it’ll be interesting to look back at this conversation and see if we even have the answers yet.
We do though Mike, we know that nothing is going down. Just like nothing has gone down in the last 4 years. I’m stunned that someone can still be falling for Barr’s con after all this time.
….and then this happened
https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/memorandum-attorney-generals-authority-use-classified-information-connection-review-intelligence-activities/
Look at Barrky. Does he look like a guy who’s capable of going to war? A well executed Halloween prank would give him a heart attack. Younger, healthier Patriots required.
Perhaps Barr is not a war consigliere.
Wait a minute, you still think Barr is legit? lmao Come on!
…and…somehow Mr. Wood is also of the mind that the “Lord” will proactively help stop an Election rigging on the one hand…while on the other hand this same “Lord” has not actively intervened to proactively stop millions of Innocents from being slaughtered over the years via Abortion? I’m sorry…but Color Me Skeptical. His posts are the theatre of the absurd.
2 Chronicles 36:16 “But they kept mocking the messengers of God, despising his words and scoffing at his prophets, until the wrath of the Lord rose against his people, until there was no remedy.”
Are you calling Lin Wood a prophet?
Maybe L. Lin Wood has said something and in that I sense a message from God. Its not my place to decide who is a prophet.
There’s a pretty strong message in that verse, and to me in this reference it’s not so much about the man as much as his mission. There is a battle between good and evil happening in front of all of us. The devil is working overtime and you can see it here in the treehouse with the crazy amounts of negativity that are usually not so prevalent.
Wood makes me uncomfortable when he waxes Elmer Gantry, like a Southern Baptist (no offense) in his words and demeanor. I perceive a bit of a hustle. Winning lawyers must be theatrical at times, but Wood overdoes it. I’m kinda like a “show me don’t tell me” guy !
I would rather see than hear, on this we agree.
I am reminded of how many people tell me they HATE President Trump because they just think hes a jerk or he tweets wrong or some other thing he said or did that rubbed them wrong. It’s almost never about policy
Uh….you might want to check in with the Holy Spirit if you are feeling uncomfortable. Me, I make enough messes so I will continue to follow the nudges of God through the Holy Spirit “Be still and know that I am God”.
I sincerely hope Lin Wood is correct about Bill Barr. We need some GOOD news.
This is a great move for Barr, Trump and the nation. This will bring a pair of Tigers into the acting AG and Principle AAG offices. The new guys have the youth, health and vibrancy of will to engage the task ahead as warriors for our nation and our people.
Barr has done a remarkable job stewarding a sick and malignantly infiltrated DOJ through an unprecedented period in its institutional history. I am glad that he can retire with his health and recover from the exhaustion and acidic stresses he has endured defending decency amidst the partisan malignancy that plagues the modern SES, governmental unions and the institutions they dominate.
Personally, I am deeply grateful for Barr, his benevolent patience and unflappable decency. He chose the perfect time to retire, and the vibrant and highly skilled replacements Barr has brought forward offer great hope for our mutual future.
You forgot the /S.
I respect Lin Wood’s intelligence, for being so strongly on the right side of this nationwide treason, and playing sidekick to the marvelous Sidney Powell (add fireworks here…).
But I have my own mind on Barr, with SO much real evidence (the bagpipes and laughing with Sessions and Rosenstein are just a nice summary of it all) and it is NOT good for him. Lin Wood, you seem to be mistaking Trump’s doing for Barr’s. Barr is the one LEAVING when the good appears.
EVEN PPL WE LIKE HAVE BLIND SPOTS…
“I believe Barr will announce major moves before 12/23”
Major plans for what?
A bake sale?
Maybe it’s a corona cookie exchange. Guess we have to wait and see
You trusty planners have been saying that since 2017….
There’s this
https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/memorandum-attorney-generals-authority-use-classified-information-connection-review-intelligence-activities/
Sorry Lin. Barr could have been a hero here, but he chose to fold when things got tough. A placeholder at best…
Might want to research how Barr handled Ruby Ridge;)
One of the ugliest tragedies in our nation’s modern history.
The malignancy of Mueller and the depraved nature of FBI culture was on full display.
And then there’s Finicum.
There’s more than one way to look at that. He also folded in a most timely way with a most timely pair of successors ready for the fight ahead. Further, there is nothing wrong with being a placeholder if skillfully played.
In a very real sense, we are all “placeholders” of a sort.
Our mortality ensures that is so.
Hope porn. My God, there are STILL people holding out HOPE, that Barr is a White hat, and in the end will “save the day”.
HOPE
The triumph of stupidity over common sense, and desire over self interest, that will get us all killed.
HOPE is NOT a strategy, or a tactic. When a grenade lands in your foxhole, you can HOPE it won’t go off. Good luck with that!
In this thread I think this will be the fourth time I’ve said none of us know the real deal. I will wait and see, in the meantime, not seeing action is not the same as seeing inaction so I will reserve my judgement and not condemn this man until I see just cause. In the meantime My President is still giving him praise and he hasn’t been fired. I don’t hope anything for William Barr. I pray for justice for the United States of America
It’s been happening for years. I read so much and I think I know what’s going on so I tell other people this or that is going to happen. Then I look like a fool because it never happened, because I’m basing my opinions on some other peoples interpretations of things that may or may not have happened the way they heard it. With some people that matter to me, this did not help my credibility at all. And thus I learned to wait and see.
I am being a bit argumentative tonight, but these pages are full of negativity. I have had no love at all for bill Barr for a long time, but I have only seen speculation so far. There are so many nasty things being said by people who don’t know what is really happening, they just think the worst because nobody really knows what to believe. I know my President will not give up and he will use every legal means available and necessary to prove this theft occurred so the rest of the world cannot question it. I know Bill Barr still has a job. I know Lin Wood may be sensational, but I believe he has integrity and he and President Trump both gave praises to Bill Barr today. These reasons alone are enough to reserve judgement. That’s all I’m doing
Here’s a speculation….
Bill Barr quietly starts an investigation into hunter. During the investigation he learns of Joe’s plans to conspire with China to subvert the us election.
Do you think it is just as possible he would try to cover it up as sit back and let it happen and see who else gets involved?
Do you think at that point it would be better to let it play out and raid everyone when they’re home unwrapping their presents or before it played out when their lawyers can argue they never did anything?
There are still many possibilities at this point. None of us know which one plays out, but things are seemingly lining up for a very merry Christmas so the pessimism should be reserved as well.
Fear porn definitely sells better than hope porn.
Even after Barr gets fired you STILL think he’s a white hat. haha You’re not fooling anyone besides maybe the other trolls. I’d love to see who’s “liking” your posts. Me thinks they’re “new” to CTH.
President Trump’s tweet said he’s leaving to be with his family for Christmas. His letter said he is departing Washington December 23rd. Nothing about a resignation or a termination.
my grandpa used to say it’s better to be thought a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt.
I will wait and see
Found in the bin…. 🙁
Thank you for your help
I noticed when I posted that comment there was a little orange line popped up saying this comment is awaiting approval or something like that. It seems this is an indication that the comment went to the bin
Here’s another speculation, Wray and others get a visit the morning after Christmas by a team of US Marshalls. He is arrested and hauled to GITMO. Barr, who already knows who’s done what, is appointed acting head of FBI to clean that house too then starts moving throughout government. Just as feasible. I don’t trust Barr, I just don’t believe these statements mean he’s gone.
Barr was an independently wealthy man before he came abroad as AG, right ? So what’s the reward for turning the nation over to totalitarian Democommunism Chinese Style ? Pats on the back and free drinks at the country club ? What was his motivation ?
Read you first sentence Zydeco, People who are very financially comfortable are insulated from the problems associated with terrible political policies.
Simple: Barr was/is Bush Establishment. The motivation to do nothing in the job which would damage Trump which was payback for Jeb, payback for deigning to ever try to go against Establishment Republicanism…Open Borders…Amnesty…COC…Troops everywhere. The Bushes’ are New England Preppy Blue Blood Political Royalty whom were totally smeared in it by Trump. Remember: Human is just a fancy invented word that we call ourselves; we are all…Animals…and will always act like Animals as it’s our Nature. How more people do not see it this way is beyond me.
You don’t see it as the Word of God reveals it.
Genesis 1:24, tells us that God created all the animals on Day Six. When He was done creating animals…
Genesis 1:26, “Then God said, ‘Let Us make man in Our image, after Our likeness…’
1:27, “So God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.
1:28, “And God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply . . . and have dominion over every living thing that moves on the earth…'”
Man is not an animal. Man is a human being created in the image of God.
It is the MIND that distinguishes Man (the word MEANS “thinking, intelligent creature”, of ancient, primordial provenance).
Mind is the bridge between physical reality and the wider spiritual reality. God is the universal Meaning, Meaningfulness itself, that enables our minds.
We are spirit inhabiting our bodies, and we will leave them. Everyone dies because none of us was meant to STAY here, in the physical. We have to go Home (somebody cue the music, for “Home”…say it like ET said it…I hated that movie, by the way)
The “image of God” is Intelligence. We are here to perfect our intelligence, by learning. Faith merely allows us to see that task as surmountable, not impossible at all.
…but we digress…I didn’t get a “harrumph” out of that guy…
Summarizing Harry’s elegant response – Man without mind (spirit) is indeed an animal.
You have your authority in such matters (Harry), I have mine.
“So what’s the reward for turning the nation over to totalitarian Democommunism Chinese Style ? “
Perhaps it is better called “dependently wealthy”
You could ask the same question of a lot of people like George Soros, Bill Gates, Barrack Obama, Mark Zuckerberg, the vast majority of the main stream media personalities, this list goes on and on. It is not that hard to answer. Power, greed, not wanting to face trial and to go to jail.
Barr’s motivation was loyalty to the establishment. Seems quaint, but he’s old school.
A.G Barr is to take his place with the deep state at GITMO
Of course he is sweetie.
Venezuela Norte
Shiett hits the Flan
Dog ate Durham’s homework. President asks how is it going? Barr has no reason to stick
around because Durham has nothing.
Not sure how it works to leave a new comment on a thread, even if i have read all prior comments. But here goes. I read Barr’s “resignation” letter and immediately James Comey came to mind. I thought why did Comey throw HRC under the bus with the dirty server business right before the 2016 election? For myself only, I don’t feel Comey has ever given an adequate explanation of that action. Now we have Barr “resigning” 6 weeks after an electronically corrupted election, yet doing the very opposite of Comey: withholding the Hunter Biden information. Most likely I am mistakenly conflating these two events. But as Shakespeare wrote in Hamlet, “something is rotten in Denmark.” Perhaps it is merely Barr maximizing on the income he will receive in retirement. Believe me, it makes a LOT of difference in one’s post retirement income when you retire from the FED. But something else is going on with Barr. Never liked how he played his cards so close to his chest. Maybe he doesn’t even hold any. Now that would be really sad. No one but Barr as far as I know, chose to get off of the Trump team. As many, in so many words said to me when I retired, “Good Riddance and Bad Luck.” Horrible to live with so many detractors. So very painful to be cursed by former allies. So I’ll save my judgement of Barr for another day. Pray for the enemies of the USA and President Trump. They are starting to believe this election is over. I believe it is only beginning.
This notion that the American people need to be insulated from learning about the wrongdoings of a candidate before an election has always befuddled me too.
If it is true, then why should we not know?
The MSM has no problems with attacking candidates. I just do not get it?
retired IG,
A good comment, I only have one suggestion.
As you will see in the posting guidelines, it is asked that you leave spacing or even double spacing, like I am doing.
Try reading the comments, on a phone instead of a computer, and you will see why.
And many of us ONLY access the treehouse, from our phones.
Otherwise a great comment, look forward to hearing more from you.
There seems to be an issue compared to WP or it is a browser thing. I use Brave and hit return for the space. Now that does not make a space. I have to hit Return TWICE to give the same effect in spacing at WP after his I hit return
It shows on my browser there is a space. Now I till hit it twice
Showing a huge gap, but it shrink to a single return. Just fyi
Ditto that. Well said!
There is a massive increase in workload in the immediate future. How can Barr not be exhausted dealing with what has already happened.
He served up two young tigers to take the lead in the fury that awaits. Trump was and remains very well served. I have nothing but gratitude for Barr and do not begrudge him the dilemmas that grand jury secrets can present.
Jeff Rosen is a “tiger”? lol Let me guess, Durham is a “bulldog”?
I have been here for some Time. Our host has written extensively on Barr and his actions from the beginning. Barr chose to claim it would be political to mention Hunter and his ties to China and Russia.
Horse Pucky,… BARR was being political/operative when he chose sides on protecting Biden over enforcing the law and hiding FACTS from the public. He put himself above the law and his duty to honor and protect this nation.
THAT is why he is GONE GONE GONE.
I would love to be proven wrong, don’t see it happening.
Didn’t Biden Joe and Hunter indicted in Ukraine for fraud. whistling in the dark.
Barr
Methinks thou doth praiseth too much, putting a cloud over the “Two Young Ttigers.” We have never seen anyone close to the top level that will be TYT in the service of the country as seen by us and Trump. I think you have damned them by alerting us to their worthlessness, and potential perfidy. Suspicious.
One theory behind Comey’s action was to keep up the ruse of him being a “Republican” to use him in a future “investigation” of the Democrats. The old “investigate to exonerate” scam.
Similar to what they did with Mueller, Huber, Horowitz and are still doing with Barr/Durham. The “staunch conservatives”, “bulldogs” and “straight shooters”.
Then when they come back with nothing everyone can say “Look, even the republicans investigated and found nothing, we must be innocent”.
I think Hillary knew the game, all of them just thought there was no way she would lose.
He retires at a critical time where the country needs him the most.
What was it that President Trump said about Barr a month ago, about how he could choose to be remembered?
Don’t know about that comment, but more recently PDJT said “ask me again, in a couple of weeks”, which was,…a couple of weeks ago.
Guess that urinalist got an answer to their question!
The Marshall Report on Jeffrey Rosen:
https://themarshallreport.wordpress.com/2020/12/14/jeffrey-a-rosen-acting-attorney-general-meligned-foreign-interference-explained/
Nice.
Of course, Barr also spoke glowingly about our Founding Fathers and our Founding documents.
What he did and did not do while AG is an entirely different matter.
Typical. Just like everyone they put in power, there’s always a past statement or two that gets used to con the patriots. Something for us to cling to. Rosen is nothing but a Barr clone.
We should all send Barr a white feather
Lin Wood’s tweet: Bill Barr is a Patriot. His letter to @realDonaldTrump was excellent. I believe Barr will announce major moves before 12/23 but does not want to stay to prosecute. He has done his job & served country well. New AG & assistants will prosecute the massive number of cases coming.
Interesting. Barr sure seems feckless, but is there more to the story? Does Barr have too many conflicts of interest in the upcoming indictments involving election fraud? Solar Wind is down in Bush country (Dallas) and we know Barr is tight with the Bush’s.

Just when the Fire gets Hot you decide to step out! Great news for President Trump since you’ve held Everything in Secret about the Biden’s and Fraudulent Elections Until After the so called Election! Merry Christmas!
More from The Marshall Report – “The real news is taking place behind the scene.”

Just to be fair, I compiled a list of Barr’s accomplishments:
1.
Well, he did get the Mueller thing wrapped up. I thank him for that, but nothing else.
That was afavor to the other side; with it being obvious PDJT was NOT going to fire Mueller team, regardless how they provoked him, the Mueller team ceased to have a reason for being, and with the Cohen farce, became an embarrasment to THEM, hence Barr had to wind it up.
Yes, it “helped” PDJT, as they were forced to report no collusion, but Barr wasn’t doing it to help PDJT.
It also cleared the way for the Ukraine hoax which literally started the same day as the Mueller testimony.
ah, you woke up and realized you had just been dreaming…been there, done that…tsk, tsk…
Barr’s mic drop moment will come before Dec. 23 when we hear from Durham
I enjoy Sundance’ s deep dives, but I think some treehouse readers will be surprised by what happens over the next 2 weeks.
Merry Christmas all
Surprised in a good way or surprised by the Deep State complacency?
Just….no. I can’t believe people still think Durham is legit. It’s mindblowing.
AG Bill Barr’s role over the last two years was far more important than the presidency. He had the opportunity to take swift, decisive action against the coup conspirators with the mighty sword of Lady Justice inspiring such a fear that only hardened fools would even consider the plot of voter fraud.. Now this corrupt cancer has metastasized and even when justice prevails in this election there will be riots and unrest galore. The task of cleaning up the swamp has become levels of magnitude greater.
Mene, Mene, Tekel , Parsin
You sir, have been weighed on the scales and found wanting.
…”Uparsin”, another syllable…
Probably using the NIV – but that’s not unique to NIV.
Just one Question; Did Barr have Hunter under Investigation during Impeachment.??? And withheld that Information.??? Therefore was willing to Let the Sham Impeachment Proceed.!!!
Should have Released that Info, as it was “Evidence” in the Senate Trial… Good Riddance.!!!… He did NOTHING, as far as I can Tell.
Your question is absolutely valid. If he withheld the information, this betrayal is absolutely shocking and beyond belief… second only to Russiagate.
Be interesting to see if the few things Barr will be “wrapping up” by December 23, were coup indictments. That would be a great Christmas gift to PDJT.
Found in the bin…. 🙁
Maybe his biggest problem is how he is going to wrap up his bagpipes? It’s a doozy. S/off.
Remember what Barr said about Huber “wrapping up” his “investigation” of the Clinton Foundation? How we all thought the hammer was about to drop just for them to come out and say they found nothing? (In the CF of all places. lol)
You’re about to see something very similar play out.
Yup.
I finally figured out one thing AG Barr accomplished! He saved his good buddy Robert Mueller’s backside! He got him to end the fake Special Counsel he was leading and then didn’t charge Mueller with any of the massive criminal activity he and his team of Lawfare lawyers engaged in trying to frame, then entrap President Trump! Perhaps it was a quid pro quo? That way AG Barr’s wife and Robert Mueller’s wife can continue their prayer/Bible study meetings as good friends! Some things are more important than other things! Godspeed President Trump!
So can someone please tell me when is the evidence going to be used to turn over the fraudulent election results? We keep hearing, “no evidence,” but no one is trying to see it. When is Sydney Powell going to use all this evidence? She’s brilliant, but she needs s court to actually open their eyes to it,”. How does this happen, or is it mostly just to let it all be known? Someone explain this to us please. Praying to our Lord to intervene and turn this around, please dear Lord.
Error. Disregard. I’m on the wrong thread.
I’ve said it before and I say it again, Barr isa rat!
So where is this DOJ policy? Someone got a page and paragraph number citing this 60-day moratorium on pertinent news about candidates. Thus, if Joe Biden was plotting to overthrow the government with Chinese help, then DOJ policy is that it shouldn’t be reported because it might affect the election?
I keep reading this so-called policy in the news (repeat the lie enough) but this is the dumbest thing ever conceived.
2 years is a lot more than 60 days.
Also agreed, these arbitrary policies are really just there to provide cover or to confuse a situation even more.
Would not have one of the democratic candidates wanted the country to know about Hunter’s problems?
Agreed, see my post above.
Everything that I have read says it is NOT an official, written down policy.
I think it is more logical self-preservation.
Its just understood, in the interest of personal and agency self-preservation, that NOT KNOWING the winner, you don’t announce an investigation of someone that may end up being your boss.
At least, that was probably the genesis for it. Maybe Barr thought the DOJ had got off coarse, by not following that unwritten policy, and he would right things by following it scrupulously,..
If so, he was WRONG. Personally, I think he was brought in to protect the corrupt establishment, including Congress.
And in THAT, he did a “good job” of selling out the country.
No, no, no…OBAMA (and his mentors, and minions, etc.) is plotting to overthrow America, Biden (The Made Man who hit his level of incompetence early) just thinks he is. And thinks intermittently, at best…
Barr hit HIS level of incompetency when he came back into the big game. He “coulda been a contender”…poor baby…baby alligator…mindless wretch…
You have to remember, Bill Barr’s father was the guy who originally recruited Epstein into the CIA. Can’t make shiit like this up
I don’t know what to think of this. At the congressional hearings with Barr, it seemed like the Democrats were genuinely going after him and Trump. If Barr was part of the Swamp, was that just an act performed by everyone? If it was just good acting, it was better than usual. Normally the Democrats are horrible actors with their talking points and fake outrage.
The mainstream media has always criticized Barr as the attorney general stooge who politicizes the law on behalf of Trump. Now if Trump and Barr have a public “falling out” and then the attorney general goes after election cheaters before he leaves, that might take the talking points away from the media.
If I was Trump, I would build up as much evidence as possible to show the American people how disgusting and deep the DC swamp is. Cleaning it out would be best during his second term in office (assuming he gets it). If Trump doesn’t win his second term, he can still release all of the evidence and lay waste to DC.
I know people are sick of hearing trust the plan. While Barr has done nothing so far, I just get the gut feeling that he is not one of the swamp. I know the odds are against me and there is a good chance I could be completely wrong.
Yes, it was all theatre. And if I was a bookmaker I wouldn’t even put odds on Barr being a Patriot. There is a 100% chance he is swamp.
Yeah, resistance like yours, ya dead fish. Good riddance.
George Webb’s predictions are proven right yet again. The man is like a human crystal ball. I really wonder where he gets his intel from.
Not to blow myself but Dutchman and I have been 100% right about all of this going back about a year and we caught immense crap for it.
“…By resigning Bill Barr just inoculated himself from criticism…”
I am thinking also threats to his family.
Let’s not forget we are dealing with the Biden Crime Family and Arkancide Clintons and China.
The man was and is terrified.
While it remains to be seen how his record will be documented by the historians he has proven to be very elusive when clarity seemed appropriate. Strange just how the DOJ and FBI jumped on cases like the infamous NASCAR garage door “noose” but couldn’t find any widespread fraud in the election. Makes one wonder if they are that incompetent, that lazy or just following orders from some shadow boss operating out of sight behind the scenes. I always had suspicions as to why he wrote the letter before Trump selected him. Was he instructed to “audition” for the job so he could keep all the skeletons hidden? At this point I’ve lost all confidence in our entire government except for President Trump! He is truly amazing to keep plugging away when seemingly the whole world is against him except the 80 million of us who voted for him.
Found in the bin…. 🙁
Barr head fake?
lol, NAHHHH!
Old Bill got himself fired!
Barr was fired, it is as simple as that.
Re-read all of it with Trumps tweets. There is literally NOTHING saying he is resigning.
At the end of Barr’s letter: “I will spend the next week wrapping up a few remaining matters important to the Administration AND DEPART on December 23rd.”
They both went to some lengths to avoid saying he was fired OR resigned…just gonna “fade away”, like MacArthur’s Old Soldier…sniff…Billy, We Hardly Knew Ye…come on, cadets, stand up and give him a cheer…aww, that’s nice…nice bushwa…
I assume the worst re: bagpipe Barky. So far that approach has avoided disappointment. Good riddance to spirlt garbage.
SPIT!
I disagree with those who say Barr tried to manage his job the old fashioned way, and he is too old and times have changed. No, I think Barr is just one more example of president Trump hiring people with stellar resumes, gentlemen with deep state reputation and big list of accomplishments (barr, tillerson cohn, mattis, gorsuch, mcMaster et.al. I want Businessman trump to put faith in his own instincts as a businessman, hire people who wont lie to him and have courage, shared vision and loyalty and willingness to get dirty fingernails;, break plates (flynn, giuliani) . Trump knows that Barr would not succeed on the Apprentice show, he would be FIRED, sent down the elevator , swiftly put into his limo back to his hotel after the first episode—. I admire confident businessman Trump and Apprentice boss Trump, —I actually liked it when Trump said Tillerson, who has impressive world reputation as former CEO of Exxon, was “dumb as a rock.”– that was a rude remark which shocked everyone but in my view conveyed that Trump realized his own hiring mistake. his problem hires have had fancy resumes, like Barr, and not enough loyalty and shared vision. for example, devos , ben carson, wilbur ross, pompeo mnuchin kudlow turned out fine bc they had rapport and sympatico with trump early on and shared his vision
I am hoping Trump will now urgently give America a JUNK YARD DOG kick ass attorney general who will get to bottom of election fraud crimes ASAP, clean out the FBI and prosecute the guilty before january 20 and get Trump installed for a 2nd term! —eyes on the prize.—-
the guy Rosen may be harmless but from reading his overly long diatribe speech on election fraud it looked to me upon cursory review to be like Ivy League, mcKinsey type mental masturbation. I think we need a doer, not an erudite thinker right now who makes crisp bullet point recommendations, and most importantly, shares trumps agenda, sense of urgency and vision
You know something, unlike Dan Bongino, I’m really crapy about remembering names and dates and places. There is this one name, Robert Johnson, from back in the 80s or so, that keeps coming to my mind whenever I see any news articles about Mr. Barrjangles. I wonder what the connection is?
The last time I even thought about Robert Johnson was during Bush’s memorial service when I caught just the briefest glimpse of an envelope being handed off.
Oh well, I’m still of a mind that the job ain’t finished and we can’t head to the bar on the way home till the boss man gives us that signal he always uses right at quitting time where he circles his index finger over his head a few times, then changes to a fist with his thumb pointing over his back towards the street. It’s his unique way of letting us know that it’s time to roll up all air hoses & extension cords, and put them, the nail guns, & saws in the trailer.
Boss man told all of us just recently that we’ll be on this job-site for at least 4 more years. Every one of us guys feel really proud of the way this project has been going so far. None of us have any hankering to change jobs till we get to see how magnificent this one is turning out and celebrating the completion together.
Boss man keeps telling everyone of us just how proud he is of all of us and how well we all work together. I believe he’s just about the finest boss man any of us have ever worked for. He’s such a straight-up-man and always treats every guy on the crew equally.
I wonder how those who claim to be Christian sit in church on Sunday square that with their deeds on the job(DOJ)?!
Ye shall know them by their deeds
I wonder how many politicians think that Christianity is off limits due to there positions in Congress?
We relentlessly hope, wish and pray for another 4 years of President Trump. However, if corrupt Biden and his cronies take office, all Biden and coup investigations will cease.
Biden said he will keep Wray as FBI Director, THAT says it all…
Barr = Kirkland & Ellis
Barr’s replacement =
Jeffrey Rosen = he was a senior partner at the law firm Kirkland & Ellis

Anyone know anything about this guy Jeff Rosen?
Jewish guys within the alphabet agencies have proven themselves to be less than trustworthy. But then again, EVERYONE within the alphabet agencies seem to be playing for the other team. Would rather have seen Matt Whitaker reinstalled as the temporary AG.
Really? Whitaker outed himself several months ago. He’s also a rat.
Good riddance to bad rubbish.
The Barr letter is political _____, to save the face of Barr. It reads like President Trump, or one of his close associates, wrote it. It literally reeks of lies; Barr, the real man who stood by and let all of that “partisan onslaught” happen without opening his mouth throughout, could not have written such drivel (cataloging the President’s accomplishments, that had nothing to do with Barr…).
So Barr is allowed to just fade out, like Mueller…
But it looks like the Ramsland report on the Michigan vote fraud has broken things loose in a big way. They asked, they demanded, they cried, they preened for “show us the evidence”, and the ASOG report (should have, probably did) hit them all like a shotgun blast. Unfortunately, as this mousy Barr departure shows, politics still reigns over criminal prosecution and real Swamp/Deep State cleaning-out. “We will see..”, President Trump once said, or more than once…
yay…I captured the url of this comment…and I don’t see any word breaks…THAT calls for a Hallelujah…
…Thank you, thank you very much (Elvis impersonation…can’t be helped)
” It reads like President Trump, or one of his close associates, wrote it. ”
It does.
And I can only imagine what may have taken place in the oval office when Barr was required to sign this letter.
I don’t think it was a comfortable moment for Mr. Barr.
Barr’s policy of keeping the doj out of politically sensitive investigations was Not a response to the politically motivated witch hunt against trump. It was a response to democrat complaints about the investigation into Hillary’s crimes.
Where does it say Barr resigned??
It says so in his letter of resignation and was tweeted all over, including the President’s tweets.
Notice how at first they said Barr knew “before spring” (who says that??) and now it’s Barr knew “before the election”, whatever that means. What a con.
