Sunday Talks – John Ratcliffe: “The Inspector General is going to have to find that there were things that were done wrong”… Posted on November 17, 2019 by sundance As a reminder John Ratcliffe is one of only four members of congress who has reviewed all of the classified documents that surrounds the current background for the Inspector General report on FISA abuse. That said, the quoted comment from Ratcliffe, while it will be overlooked by most, is the first visible sign reconciling a fundamental challenge previously highlighted. In the 2018 IG report on FBI conduct in the 2016 election, the IG stated there was no evidence of any FBI activity being taken for political intents. Yes, there was a tremendous amount of politically motivated evidence noted within the report; but the top-line statement by Horowitz was counter to the underlying evidence. A year ago that led us to ask: how could the IG outline political motives in the FISA investigation, if he previously stated there was no politically motivated action by the FBI? The statement today by Rep. John Ratcliffe seems to speak to this issue. The implication within the words is that the evidence is so overwhelming the IG has few options.

ATTORNEY GENERAL WILLIAM BARR: How "The Resistance" Is Shredding the Rule of Law By Attorney General William Barr I deeply admire the American Presidency as a political and constitutional institution. I believe it is, one of the great, and remarkable innovations in our Constitution, and has been one of the most successful features of the Constitution in protecting the liberties of the American people. More than any other branch, it has fulfilled the expectations of the Framers. Unfortunately, over the past several decades, we have seen steady encroachment on Presidential authority by the other branches of government. This process I think has substantially weakened the functioning of the Executive Branch, to the detriment of the Nation. This evening, I would like to expand a bit on these themes. First, let me say a little about what the Framers had in mind in establishing an independent Executive in Article II of the Constitution. Read more »

That Trump is worse than Nixon was and is an easy one to see and even predict. What was not easy to see, was how willing the Republicans are to join him in his barbaric behavior. In a very short time Trump has got the Republicans to constantly lie for him and get them to believe Putin, XI and Kim Jung I'll, communists, are great leaders we should trust more than our allies in NATO and the EU. Short of amazing and now that Trump has taken over the Republican party he is shaping it in his image. And all the while the Republicans shout with glee.
