Barr is not going to see any perjury charges for lying about Mueller being disappointed in his summary.
Not even for lying about conferring with Trump about the investigation before going public or Trump suggesting what Barr may want to investigate next.

Under these circumstances they certainly were. That's why Cohen was convicted of them, as felonies.

You have to admit though, Greg Craig is an unfortunate name.
If you mean because it rhymes, then yes. If you mean because he's a Democrat, then that doesn't bother me. I have no allegiance to people who break the law, no matter what Party they come from. ANYONE breaking the law should be punished...even if that's my own mother.
Barr is AG #3, clearly they’re disposable. As is trump himself.
Trump can skirt the law by declaring himself Acting President!

And CONGRATULATIONS to the denizens of this thread, which has surpassed the calendar!
This thread has reached 58 (thousand posts), while the current four-year presidential term has only reached 57 (percent complete). So, if the thread isn't deleted, there's an excellent chance it will reach six figures in posts by Inauguration Day 2019.
In fact, since the frequency of posting is increasing, there's a real possibility the thread will hit the 100k mark before Election Day 2018. Take a second and picture the number of man-hours that involves--making posts that will change no one's mind about voting for or against Donald Trump. Amazing!
I think your dates are a little off. You mean Inauguration Day 2021 and Election Day 2020.
Of course you're right: I meant Election Day 2020 and Inauguration Day 2021. My fault entirely: I proofread the arithmetic and not the dates! Thanks for catching that.

Depends on how you define success. If working full time and making a lot of money is your definition of success, then yes, she has underachieved. Just because you have a great talent doesn't mean you want to use that talent all the time or even at all. She has greatly succeeded at everything she has ever attempted...school, work, wife, mother. Her goals have always been to do what she wants to do. She works less than full time now because that is what she wants to do. She has volunteered at the elementary school helping slower kids with reading and helping gifted kids with gifted-type stuff (including both of my children of course). How many people out there work full time but wish they didn't have to? She doesn't have to, and so she doesn't. Has nothing to do by the way with feeling uncomfortable outside of "schooling". Also, what is wrong with working in the public "sector"? She was instrumental in getting the kids health care policy passed (look up Donna Shalala and health care for children), something she was very passionate about at that time. Not everything is about money, brother.
This will probably be the last time I respond since it is clear you are getting upset and that is not my intent. No, my definition of success is not monetary. However, it is hard to disagree that someone who is a valedictorian both at a rigorous high school and in undergrad, a National Merit Scholar, top of her class at two top tier grad schools (and better than all of others that went to Stanford and Michigan for grad school), and a bona fide genius (very few of those) would achieve as little after school as your wife (again, not meant to be an insult, but it is a fact). People with all those accolades and scholarly achievements have expectations put on them (fairly or unfairly) that they will achieve greatness in some aspect. It has been my experience (and seems to be the case here as well) that those expectation are mostly not met by "book smart" people. Your list of your wife's achievements outside of school are all things that "average" people achieve every day.
I NEVER get upset and am certainly not even remotely approaching that in my discussion with you; wasn't even a consideration. I am Mr. Spock. I am just setting you straight that your ideas don't apply to everyone.
Regarding expectations, why should anyone do with their life what other people expect of them? People who are in charge of their lives don't let the expectations of others drive what they do.
Regarding what "average" people do, I disagree with you there. To get that Policy Analyst job working with Donna Shalala, she rose to the top of 1000 applicants and got that job (three hired at the time). You have to show excellence to even get a job like that, both academically and in the interview process. She did a great job while there...not something an average person could have done. She also went out and got a University Professor job with her work demands after being out of the work force for 15 years. I submit to you that "average" people don't become university professors at all, and even fewer people are successful becoming one after being out of the work force for 15 years.
Now, if you define "average" as anyone who is not a genius like my wife, then ok...there are professors and people who work in important jobs in government who are not geniuses. That's because there aren't enough geniuses to go around.
I reiterate though that her work and family life has gone exactly as she has wanted it to go. Just because you are uber smart and have serious degrees from serious universities doesn't mean you need to use all of that at all times. It just keeps doors open for her that others don't have, and she has opened the doors she wanted to open when she wanted to open them.
Your idea of success seems narrow and extremely passive. People who take charge of their lives do whatever they want to do, brother.

Right now I think that is correct. I may change my mind on that later on.

Your lies are getting to the level of Lyin' Gary.
You already stated that Rachel Maddow covered Venezuela on MSNBC. You have also been shown links to CNN of their coverage. You know very well that both networks have covered the "coup". Even if you didn't you could easily Google it and find the truth.
You are just lying again. I'm tired of the lying game.
From now on, you are "Lyin' Sally".
Sally, you are lying. You need to stop. Shameful really.
Another thing...I thought Sally that you were all for "America First". Covering what is happening TODAY (meaning yesterday) in AMERICA that is important to America is "America First". The coup in Venezuela had started the day before and was already heavily covered and was still covered throughout the day yesterday even anyway.
Responsible news organizations would have focused on the happenings in America yesterday over the Venezuela coup that we already knew about. Important LOCAL news is always covered first. CNN and MSNBC are NATIONAL news sources, so an important NATIONAL event is their first priority.
Flagpole, I really want to see your saying that Trump winning by cheating invalidates his election and that IT PREDATES YOUR GUARANTEE THAT TRUMP WOULD NOT WIN. Show me the exact post and the page number and show the exact post of your guarantee that Trump would not win and show how the latter postdates the former. If you can't offer up that, take your BullSh%t elsewhere. I really have pretty much had it with your lies and nonsense. Do that and i will CONSIDER responding to you again. Otherwise, you are just a liar and a phony. Thanks in advance.
Trump could fire barr & make Melania AG. At least she’d LOOK photogenic while saying, “Duh... I don’t know...”

Jonathan Turley is pretty liberal and very well respected and said Barr did nothing wrong in his testimony yesterday. The Dem Senators were way out of line. Also, no AG or cabinet-level official would ever be expected to answer questions from Congressional House staffers. For the Dems to try to put on this dog-and-pony show reveals how utterly shameful and desperate they are. They are impotent and are terrified that Trump and Barr are looking like they have the upper-hands that they do. Nadler, Schitt, Pelosi et al. are just pathetic partisan hacks. Time for them to grow up and act like adults. They need to put on their big-boy pants now.

I have discussed that here many times before. Letsrun deleted the BIG thread that was about the 2016 election. I have asked for them to put it back to no avail. Feel free to ask them to bring it back. Incidentally, that's the same thread where I said Trump had ZERO chance to win, so no one here can prove I said that...but, of course I have integrity and admit that I did say it. I also gave the caveats though...he can't cheat and space aliens can't make us vote for him. Committing two felony campaign finance violations is cheating...on a felony level.
I never provide "BullSh%t". I do not lie and have 100% integrity 100% of the time.
You have told me at least twice before that you would not respond to me anymore, and yet you still do. You have no credibility there. No skin off my nose if you don't respond to me. You can limit my responses to you if you stop lying. I will call you out for lies or misinformation that you spout. You can NOT do that to me, because I do neither thing.
Mueller is coming.
The clown is done.
Suck on that, you hillary loving pieces of trash. Tiger woods and Trump are winners. Democrats are too busy planning gay pride parades to accomplish anything.
Those tacky dems & their tacky Constitution!

I see no questions there. You need to be asking questions, not giving your ignorant opinions.
Trumpers certainly don’t have to waste time planning a trump pride parade, except for the one in Moscow.

This one was pretty good. Most of yours aren't really funny, but this one is a little funny.
The one about Eric Trump and his wife expecting was pure comedy gold though. It will be hard for you to beat that one.
LGBT vote was 78-14 against trump BTW. They’ve got more to be proud of than the rest of America!
“Gays Against Goober!”
The partisan hacks are the ones defending corruption not investigating the corruption.
