That may be true, but it's just an educated guess. Does anyone here actually know (or have the inclination to look it up)?Digby wrote:I wouldn't think so.

And it'd be worth noting a lot of legal experts weren't expecting the decision we got as they like Cox assumed the courts wouldn't want to get involved. Barr is getting stuck into the crimes of Trump including spinning his conspiracy theories even above the findings of his own DoJ, and that seems to be very different, at least to me
The AG would be able to speak to whether the process impacted any official functions/duties, beyond that I assume it would be private advice to a friend if the AG wanted to say anything. And the AG would probably be able to speak to what they should have done, so for example the AG I'm sure could advise it isn't legal for Trump to have put a hold on money being paid to Ukraine, but I don't see how an AG could speak to what the defence for that criminality should be during an impeachment for abuse of power

Re: Trump
When trumpeting your debating prowess, it never hurts to populate pages of the ether with wise, rich and subtle prose as permanent record of testament to such:
I look very much forward to debating whoever the lucky person is who stumbles across the finish line in the little watched Do Nothing Democrat Debates. My record is so good on the Economy and all else, including debating, that perhaps I would consider more than 3 debates.........The problem is that the so-called Commission on Presidential Debates is stacked with Trump Haters & Never Trumpers. 3 years ago they were forced to publicly apologize for modulating my microphone in the first debate against Crooked Hillary. As President, the debates are up.......to me, and there are many options, including doing them directly & avoiding the nasty politics of this very biased Commission. I will make a decision at an appropriate time but in the meantime, the Commission on Presidential Debates is NOT authorized to speak for me (or R’s)!
Doing a debate directly. That is the best way to do one.

Re: Trump
Does doing a debate directly mean simply a monologue style campaign advert? Or one hosted by that honest Infowars chap, one hosted by Ben Shapiro, and one hoisted by Roger Stone? With the understanding the hosts will act in unbiased fashion to praise Donny and play the walking off music every time (I assume) Biden talks? (and as a footnote, please don't let it be Biden, or anyone else so actuarially likely to die in the next few years)

Is Mikey B representing the elites here? Is he swamp? I thought it was Digby.
I just don’t get who is elite these days. Must be some new code word, like “patriots”, that we use to identify our side or the other.
Very confusing, I am not sure who will I vote in 2020.
But I like that Trump guy. He was on “the apprentice”. I liked that show.

Sarcasm in the style of the rancid political debate dominating online discussion these days.
Don’t over think it. The syntax of the Trumpet quote has pauses imposed by twitter word limits, and I cut and pasted multiple twitter posts by Orange Jebus.
This explanation likely adds little to Clarity.

Seems quite proud of it. The mind a great debater, unmatched wisdom in print form, with exclamation marks for emphasis.
Please, please take the stand and face a cross examination personally, you demented tangerine gumby.

So far, he is writing on twatter that he got high marks for his letter.
Who is “they” that give him high marks?
If you ask me, I am thinking “enablers” as a possible name; however we could call them “patriots” too.

Re: Trump
It's essentially poorly written anecdote and hyperbole, but the essence of his angst, which he has continually broadcast throughout his entire term thus far is:
Speaker Pelosi, you admitted just last week at a public forum that your party’s impeachment effort has been going on for “two and a half years,” long before you ever heard about a phone call with Ukraine. Nineteen minutes after I took the oath of office, the Washington Post published a story headlined, “The Campaign to Impeach President Trump Has Begun.” Less than three months after my inauguration, Representative Maxine Waters stated, “I’m going to fight every day until he’s impeached.” House Democrats introduced the first impeachment resolution against me within months of my inauguration, for what will be regarded as one of our country’s best decisions, the firing of James Comey (see Inspector General Reports)—who the world now knows is one of the dirtiest cops our Nation has ever seen. A ranting and raving Congresswoman, Rashida Tlaib, declared just hours after she was sworn into office, “We’re gonna go in there and we’re gonna impeach the motherf****r.” Representative Al Green said in May, “I’m concerned that if we don’t impeach this president, he will get re-elected.” Again, you and your allies said, and did, all of these things long before you ever heard of President Zelensky or anything related to Ukraine. As you know very well, this impeachment drive has nothing to do with Ukraine, or the totally appropriate conversation I had with its new president. It only has to do with your attempt to undo the election of 2016 and steal the election of 2020!
All very familiar and very tired themes. The perpetual victim set upon by conspiracy after conspiracy. He and Rudy seem to be of a mind that the louder the cries of conspiracy, the more chance the actual crimes of obstruction and extortion committed via the apparatus of government for personal gain. This is the sum total of his efforts for the last three years. Watch telly, whine on social media, then make up conspiracies to cover his naive fuckwittery in government. Last week a new NAFTA was set in motion, SPACE FORCE got initial funding (in exchange for extra paid parental leave for federal workers), and a number of other things were actually enacted by due process, but he was basically absent on the ground for any of them. The only way that he can get involved it seems is to send in his Kushner sex doll drone. He has no one else in his inner circle he can trust (on account of him being a crooked bastard). The Kush is now spearheading trade negotiations with the Chinese. He is done with opioids and "Middle East peace" (what a dry fuck on a sandy beach that was). Here's today's effort at doing government:
"Good marks and reviews on the letter I sent to Pelosi today. She is the worst! No wonder with people like her and Cryin’ Chuck Schumer, D.C. has been such a mess for so long - and that includes the previous administration who (and now we know for sure) SPIED on my campaign."

Re: Trump
Narcissistic personality disorder — one of several types of personality disorders — is a mental condition in which people have an inflated sense of their own importance, a deep need for excessive attention and admiration, troubled relationships, and a lack of empathy for others.

A narcissistic personality disorder causes problems in many areas of life, such as relationships, work, school or financial affairs. People with narcissistic personality disorder may be generally unhappy and disappointed when they're not given the special favors or admiration they believe they deserve. They may find their relationships unfulfilling, and others may not enjoy being around them.
Signs and symptoms of narcissistic personality disorder and the severity of symptoms vary. People with the disorder can:
Have an exaggerated sense of self-importance
Have a sense of entitlement and require constant, excessive admiration
Expect to be recognized as superior even without achievements that warrant it
Exaggerate achievements and talents
Be preoccupied with fantasies about success, power, brilliance, beauty or the perfect mate
Believe they are superior and can only associate with equally special people
Monopolize conversations and belittle or look down on people they perceive as inferior
Expect special favors and unquestioning compliance with their expectations
Take advantage of others to get what they want
Have an inability or unwillingness to recognize the needs and feelings of others
Be envious of others and believe others envy them
Behave in an arrogant or haughty manner, coming across as conceited, boastful and pretentious
Insist on having the best of everything — for instance, the best car or office
At the same time, people with narcissistic personality disorder have trouble handling anything they perceive as criticism, and they can:
Become impatient or angry when they don't receive special treatment
Have significant interpersonal problems and easily feel slighted
React with rage or contempt and try to belittle the other person to make themselves appear superior
Have difficulty regulating emotions and behavior
Experience major problems dealing with stress and adapting to change
Feel depressed and moody because they fall short of perfection
Have secret feelings of insecurity, shame, vulnerability and humiliation

Speaker Pelosi, you admitted just last week at a public forum that your party’s impeachment effort has been going on for “two and a half years,” long before you ever heard about a phone call with Ukraine. Nineteen minutes after I took the oath of office, the Washington Post published a story headlined, “The Campaign to Impeach President Trump Has Begun.” Less than three months after my inauguration, Representative Maxine Waters stated, “I’m going to fight every day until he’s impeached.” House Democrats introduced the first impeachment resolution against me within months of my inauguration, for what will be regarded as one of our country’s best decisions, the firing of James Comey (see Inspector General Reports)—who the world now knows is one of the dirtiest cops our Nation has ever seen. A ranting and raving Congresswoman, Rashida Tlaib, declared just hours after she was sworn into office, “We’re gonna go in there and we’re gonna impeach the motherf****r.” Representative Al Green said in May, “I’m concerned that if we don’t impeach this president, he will get re-elected.” Again, you and your allies said, and did, all of these things long before you ever heard of President Zelensky or anything related to Ukraine. As you know very well, this impeachment drive has nothing to do with Ukraine, or the totally appropriate conversation I had with its new president. It only has to do with your attempt to undo the election of 2016 and steal the election of 2020!
All very familiar and very tired themes. The perpetual victim set upon by conspiracy after conspiracy. He and Rudy seem to be of a mind that the louder the cries of conspiracy, the more chance the actual crimes of obstruction and extortion committed via the apparatus of government for personal gain. This is the sum total of his efforts for the last three years. Watch telly, whine on social media, then make up conspiracies to cover his naive fuckwittery in government. Last week a new NAFTA was set in motion, SPACE FORCE got initial funding (in exchange for extra paid parental leave for federal workers), and a number of other things were actually enacted by due process, but he was basically absent on the ground for any of them. The only way that he can get involved it seems is to send in his Kushner sex doll drone. He has no one else in his inner circle he can trust (on account of him being a crooked bastard). The Kush is now spearheading trade negotiations with the Chinese. He is done with opioids and "Middle East peace" (what a dry fuck on a sandy beach that was). Here's today's effort at doing government:
"Good marks and reviews on the letter I sent to Pelosi today. She is the worst! No wonder with people like her and Cryin’ Chuck Schumer, D.C. has been such a mess for so long - and that includes the previous administration who (and now we know for sure) SPIED on my campaign."
A narcissistic personality disorder causes problems in many areas of life, such as relationships, work, school or financial affairs. People with narcissistic personality disorder may be generally unhappy and disappointed when they're not given the special favors or admiration they believe they deserve. They may find their relationships unfulfilling, and others may not enjoy being around them.
Signs and symptoms of narcissistic personality disorder and the severity of symptoms vary. People with the disorder can:
Have an exaggerated sense of self-importance
Have a sense of entitlement and require constant, excessive admiration
Expect to be recognized as superior even without achievements that warrant it
Exaggerate achievements and talents
Be preoccupied with fantasies about success, power, brilliance, beauty or the perfect mate
Believe they are superior and can only associate with equally special people
Monopolize conversations and belittle or look down on people they perceive as inferior
Expect special favors and unquestioning compliance with their expectations
Take advantage of others to get what they want
Have an inability or unwillingness to recognize the needs and feelings of others
Be envious of others and believe others envy them
Behave in an arrogant or haughty manner, coming across as conceited, boastful and pretentious
Insist on having the best of everything — for instance, the best car or office
At the same time, people with narcissistic personality disorder have trouble handling anything they perceive as criticism, and they can:
Become impatient or angry when they don't receive special treatment
Have significant interpersonal problems and easily feel slighted
React with rage or contempt and try to belittle the other person to make themselves appear superior
Have difficulty regulating emotions and behavior
Experience major problems dealing with stress and adapting to change
Feel depressed and moody because they fall short of perfection
Have secret feelings of insecurity, shame, vulnerability and humiliation
You can check its progress and results by yourself just by reading the news.

Re: Trump
A couple of technicalities:
Trump is now impeached;
The Senate will decide if he will be removed from office.
The chances of the latter are currently slim to none. Things may change since the republican majority is 53-47, with Romney, Murkowski and Collins being probable swing votes when it comes to decide to call witnesses or not. But as it stands now, they are not breaking party lines.
