With that out of the way, let's take a look at what Judge Jackson concludes about this memo: SHE VIEWS IT AS AN AFTER-THE-FACT COVER UP OF A DECISION BARR HAD ALREADY MADE. https://www.citizensforethics.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/show_public_doc.pdf
And she believes the authors KNEW it was an after the fact cover up of a decision Barr had already made. This paints the the authors and Barr in a terrible-to-criminal light, and puts RR dead smack in the middle of that.
This indicates that the RR, O'Callaghan, and the Office of Legal Counsel were ALL working together with Barr to craft the "no obstruction" narrative. This is a horrifying betrayal by DOJ leadership.
And when I say horrifying. I mean HORRIFYING.
And here it is - I am out of the RR fan club. It's over. THEY WERE ALL IN ON IT.
We now know that SC Mueller's push back against Barr's March 24, 2019 letter was PUSHING BACK AGAINST THE WHOLE OF THE DOJ'S LEADERSHIP. They were ALL in on the scam.
I am quite literally feeling sick and numb.
This is what I never wanted to believe - that the Deputy AG, the AG, and the Office of Legal Counsel would all conspire to depth charge Mueller. I feel sick.
I have been low-key frustrated with AG Garland's deliberate pace. I now understand that the issues are so much bigger than I imagined even in my most Dark Dirk moments.
I had always wondered how it came to be that Mueller's report actually conformed to what Trumpists had been saying for over a year - "No obstruction, no collusion." Now we know and it's even worse than I thought.
Please don't tag me with "I knew from the blank stare." Smart people don't know anything from blank stares ... see, poker.
For me personally, the depth of this betrayal is on par with the insurrection of January 6th. We are going to need a Special Counsel to investigate the entire DOJ leadership.
Among the things that most scare me is that the person that was the 2017 head of the DOJ National Security Division was ready and willing to commit crimes for Trump. That's fxed up.
I understand the "I told you so" takes, but this actually contradicts a lot of the twitter RR narrative. He was not a coward; not a puppet. He was the primary architect of the evil; he elevated the already compromised head of the NATSEC Div to help. And set the table for Barr.
