The Low Barr

The Low Barr

The lowest bar is to call day night, to call love hate, to call left right, to call unAmerican patriotism, and to call lies truth.

Former FBI Director and Special Counsel Mueller pointed out that "The Russian government interfered in the 2016 presidential election in sweeping and systematic fashion. Evidence of Russian government operations began to surface in mid-2016" (Mueller Report, p. 1; p. 9 PDF).

The record is not foggy on this point as TIME points out in a recent article concerning events beyond trolling and advertisements on social media:

"... that Trump and at least 17 of his campaign officials and advisors had more than 100 contacts between Trump associates and Russians,

"I had nothing to do with
Russia helping me to get elected"

belying the campaign’s November 2016 claim that 'there was no communication between the campaign and any foreign entity during the campaign.' According to reporting, many others associated with Trump were told about contacts with Russian-linked individuals.

Here is a list of all of the times that Trump associates interacted with Russia from the early days of the 2016 election cycle to Trump’s inauguration ..."

(TIME, "the twittah", emphasis added). Major league interaction between members of a U.S. presidential election campaign ("Tweeter")  and a hostile foreign government ("Monkey Man") is in and of itself not a traditional American election practice (e.g. candidate Al Gore's campaign was once confronted that way and immediately informed the FBI).

Lying about those contacts and interactions repeatedly was the Trump Campaign's ("Tweeter") response during the campaign (TIME quote above), which is in and of itself either a suspicious wrong or a felony, depending on who is being lied to.

Lying over 10,000 times from that time until now, is grounds for an impeachment inquiry in and of itself in a normal country.

And when an administration's attorney general has the low barr fever, well, it is not normal shall we say.

Many of those lies were by underlings while under oath or talking to federal investigators ("Jan's brother")  such that some were indicted for that by grand juries, some were convicted, some served jail time, and some are awaiting sentencing.

That an impeachment inquiry should begin to find out why all that major league lying was done to cover up the interaction with a hostile foreign power is a slam dunk, no-brainer reason for an impeachment inquiry.

On Morning Joe (MSNBC) yesterday Allan Lichtman, the Professor who has accurately predicted every US Presidential election since 1984, indicated that the 2020 presidential election will be lost to democrats if the impeachment inquiry is NOT commenced soon.

We shall see (“I have no final verdict yet because much could change during the next year” - Allan Lichtman).

On another front, if Israel is a normal country then its recent election can be an example of why.

Their recent election has to be done over because the victor could not follow up with a bona fide "formation of a government" (Netanyahu has failed to form a government, sending Israelis back to the voting booth).

The same can easily be said for Trump (Two Factors that May Change the Impeachment Calculus, Part Two: Criminalizing a Roger Stone Pardon).

A thousand prosecutors say that Low Barr is in error (STATEMENT BY FORMER FEDERAL PROSECUTORS).

"Tweeter and the Monkey Man
were hard up for [Russian] cash
They stayed up all night selling
[Russian] 'cocaine and hash'
To an 'undercover cop'
who had a sister named Jan
For reasons unexplained
she loved the Monkey Man"
