Had you noted, Barr and the DOJ had a 'third party' review the case and its ramifications. In this case, it was the US Attorney for St Louis.

And you might note that the full fledged recommendation of Jensen was that the underlying basis for prosecution was not sound. Barr implemented that recommendation.

Further, you dont even seem to note that Barr stated he felt 'it was our duty to dismiss the case.'

The question and line that he was responding to their was the 'are you prepared for the incoming', and *NOT* a question on the basis on why the DOJ dropped the case.

You might want to peruse that segment. Just watching it would help. All the issues above are in it. mind you. I guess you just didnt catch all that stupid stuff on the 'basis of law', and chose to focus on the reponse above, which is a response to the *political question* of 'are you prepared for the partisan incoming?' Even then, that tidbit omits the bulk of his answer.

Good grief, lad. Get your facts straight.

And you seeminlgy miss 'a crime could not be established here. They did not have a basis for a counter-intelligence investigation against Flynn at that stage.'

And you miss 'there is one standard of justice.'

And you miss "I am doing the law's bidding.'

Put lipstick on the pig all you want, but the head of the DOJ laughing about how history is written by the winners is pretty ******* bad. Ignore that statement, and all the others (which I've heard) are exactly what you want to hear. But this one is so glaring that it really defeats the others.

I guess you did miss all the other quotes. Or better yet, you *explicitly* choose to ignore them above. Good for ya, lad. You are doing as well as I can expect from you.

Talk about 'putting lipstick on'. Ignore everything else for the point of one edited statement. I would like to see what else Barr noted after that, as he continued to talk as that comment was clipped mid-thought as the tape very clearly indicates.

But I am sure with your 'enlightenment' you just never bothered to notice that. Much like you never bothered to notice the other quotes in the clip. Funny that.
