Would be funny if Trump fired Barr

 

Barr's been meeting with Trump for 2 hours now.   I suppose if he's been fired, he can at least say he wasn't terminated via Twitter.

All of this is an attempt to have a real conversation, and put the partisanship stuff aside. I'm not a partisan, I don't think you are either. None of this is meant to be combative or attacking of you

How much of what Deranged Rhino posted here YEARS ago has turned out to be accurate (so far)?   What's the score between Deranged Rhino and Tibs (or any of those other ****heads)?

Sounds like he's not expecting to be the AG for very much longer.

 

Crafting his own fire-and-forget missile. Isn't this the same guy that was investigating Biden too and that fizzled out?

 

Another 6 months and Durham may uncover another edited email or something more sinister. From what I could read from the last bi-partisan Senate report regarding crossfire hurricane they exonerated the FBI from any political motivations, said their actions were within their legal purview and just had a bunch of bitching about tightening up protocols and oversight of the FISA process - which is not a hard thing to recommend. 

 

Not like they created FISA surveillance protocol just for Trump. They have surveillance on foreign people of interest - oh, like Russians with dubious cover work ingratiating themselves into a presidential campaign. If your calls to said Russians get recorded - oh well.  I personally have never been a fan of the FISA secretive court and warrant process, but it has been around since 1978 when Trump was just cutting his teeth on discriminating against folks of color with his NYC properties.

 

You read about that legal affair and you see why us former Jersey folks say, "Been there, done that" when it comes to the Trump playbook and the media reports about them and why we get so frustrated that folks line up to be taken in by the same old crap.

 

 

🤢🤢🤢 🤢🤢🤢 🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮   

 

Yet the most damaging episode in the saga of Trump’s fractured relationship with the black community came in 1973, when his family’s real-estate company, Trump Management Corporation, was sued by the Justice Department for alleged racial discrimination. At the time, Trump was the company’s president. Just last month, at Trump’s Comedy Central roast, Snoop Dogg referenced the case by joking about Trump’s potential 2012 run for the White House: “Why not? It wouldn’t be the first time he pushed a black family out of their home.” 

 

The case alleged that the Trump Management Corporation had discriminated against blacks who wished to rent apartments in Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island. The government charged the corporation with quoting different rental terms and conditions to blacks and whites and lying to blacks that apartments were not available, according to reports of the lawsuit.

 

Trump responded in characteristic fashion — holding a press conference to call the charges “absolutely ridiculous.” He told the New York Times: “We never have discriminated and we never would. There have been a number of local actions against us and we’ve won them all. We were charged with discrimination and we proved in court that we did not discriminate.” (see Trump lie his *** off in every press conference or tweet)

 

He later took the uncommon step of suing the Justice Department for defamation, seeking $100 million in damages. His lawyer was Roy Cohn, the infamous former Joseph McCarthy aide, who was known for his hard-ball tactics. (see Barr, Durham, and Rudy Giuliani)

 

Cohn called up the federal official in charge of the case — J. Stanley Pottinger, the head of DOJ’s Civil Rights division — to demand that the lawyer handling the lawsuit be fired. Pottinger told The Huffington Post that his reaction at the time was “I don’t think so. That’s up to me and that’s not going to happen. I called [lawyer] Donna [Goldstein] into my office and said, ‘Keep up the good work.’” The suit, which Pottinger called a “media gimmick done for local consumption,” was dismissed and the judge criticized Cohn for “wasting time and paper from what I consider to be the real issues” - discriminating against blacks in apartment rentals. (see 2020 election law suits)

 

Two years later, Trump Management settled the case, promising not to discriminate against blacks, Puerto Ricans and other minorities. As part of the agreement, Trump was required to send its list of vacancies in its 15,000 apartments to a civil-rights group, giving them first priority in providing applicants for certain apartments, according to a contemporaneous New York Times account.

 

Trump, who emphasized that the agreement was not an admission of guilt, later crowed that he was satisfied because it did not require them to “accept persons on welfare as tenants unless as qualified as any other tenant.” (see Trump re characterize a finding of guilt - Ukraine affair )

  • GOP Senate take on his guilt: Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) issued a rather evasive statement that avoided firm conclusions, though he nevertheless said, "Just because actions meet a standard of impeachment does not mean it is in the best interest of the country to remove a president from office."
  • Trump's tweet after acquittal: I will be making a public statement tomorrow at 12:00pm from the @WhiteHouse to discuss our Country's VICTORY on the Impeachment Hoax!

    •  

But the company didn’t sufficiently fulfill its promise, because three years later, the Justice Department charged Trump Management with continuing to discriminate against blacks through such tactics as telling them that apartments were not available. As part of its demands, the government asked that victims of discrimination be compensated and that Trump Management continue to report to the Justice Department on its compliance. Cohn lashed out, according to the New York Times, claiming that the court motion was “nothing more than a rehash of complaints by a couple of planted malcontents.” (see Trump conspiracy theories)

 

But the problem persisted, prompting New York City’s human rights commission to regularly dispatch investigators to search for examples of discriminatory rental practices in Trump-owned buildings. Trump was not amused, telling the New York Times that the investigation was a “form of horrible harassment.” (witch hunt anyone)

That's a good point as well, and very likely. :beer: 

 

Barr said for weeks now to expect Durham sometime around Labor Day... here we are.

 

Is it Labor Day yet?

And there he goes - lmao

 

 

 

So the FBI spying on Trump campaign nonsense. Which was already shot down by a bipartisan investigation.

 

Nothing burger #1

 

Hunter Biden consulting gig Biden election smearing effort???

 

Nothing burger too?

 

I never really cared if Hunter was a guilty POS or not, I never believed his company had any direct ties to Joe. The whole thing was flimsy.

 

If Russia had real dirt on Joe they would have fed it to their stooge Giuliani in time for the election.

If the GQP had anything on the Biden’s - they would have worked in an investigation just like they did Benghazi years ago.

I for one predicted this outcome years ago. Does Durham even exist? They only ever showed that one stock 

photo of the dude.

Predicted what? He's still the special counsel.  

 

Like Durham, nearly every other U.S. attorney who served in the Trump administration was asked earlier this month to submit their resignations as the Biden administration moves to transition to its own nominees.
