Barr’s priority is “re-establishing the integrity” of the DOJ. He said so specifically. It is ludicrous that he would begin such a task by putting a couple dozen of their highest ranking officials in prison. He is running a Modified, Limited Hangout program that is unraveling because the rubes have seen the pea disappear too many times now. Think about it, just a week ago when I first proposed as much almost every FReeper chastised me for being “cynical” or worse. Try to find a FReeper who still thinks that way just a week later.

This is an important topic I want to stay abreast on...that said, I believe you are making a good point...without being insulting, can you translate what you say here? I read it twice and I don’t understand your jargon.
Read up on the Ludlow Massacre. As far as I can find this is the first case where a “program” known as Modified, Limited Hangout was used successfully to avoid the government from having to admit it crapped it’s pants. “Limited Hangout” is release just enough information to make the rubes beleive something is being done. It helps if there is an element of truth. As time goes by the information may have to be modified to continue to manage the expectations of the rubes you are fooling. After enough time (ten years) everyone who once cared has died or forgotten and some low level flunky can be blamed and “case closed”. It is what they are currently doing with the Twin Peaks Massacre. Nixon was very well aware of this technique and famously engaged it explicitly by this very name. This is what Barr is trying (and failing) to do at the DOJ. Make everyone beleive “something is being done” so folks who might have a mind to see to it themselves can be placated long enough emotions cool down.
IOW, we are being played for suckers.
Not only do I not think that way, I don't even know what you just said.
"..can you translate..?"
Ditto that.
Wastoute repeats the same thing on all these threads. Modified limited hangout is early 1970’s jargon for spy craft. It’s nonsense in this context, because what the coup plotters have been and continue to do is mostly out in the open.
