The real bombshell takeaway from former special counsel Robert Mueller’s self-serving press conference on Wednesday is that he just threw Attorney General William Barr, a long-time Justice Department colleague and friend, under the bus by insinuating he lied regarding POTUS Donald Trump’s “guilt” in Russian collusion hoax.
And in doing so, Mueller chose his loyalty to the deep state over he loyalty to a lifelong friend. That’s how serious this “battle royale” between all the president’s men and the Deep State really is.
First, for context, a little history.
As noted by The Atlantic, both Barr and Mueller served together at the Justice Department in the early 1990s in the administration of President George H. W. Bush (himself a former CIA director). Not only that, but as Barr told senators during his confirmation hearing in January, “the two men have had a relationship for years” — on personal, social, and family levels...

Great comment!
I agree that the middle road is gone. I don’t see CWII coming. I see revolt. Or open tyranny.
My bet’s on Barr. Mueller has a lot of skeletons in his closet;from the cover up of corruption in the Boston
FBI office, to his phony partisan witch hunt. He’s scared s%^t to testify, and he doesn’t look too healthy.
What would you really expect? Mueller has been able to thrive in the Swamp for decades. That requires one to develop certain nefarious skill sets combined with a particular type of moral ambiguity.
I believe Mueller has been threatened.
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.
The entire purpose of this phony accusation of Russian collusion, the special prosecutor, the goading of Trump and the further manufacture of “obstruction” allegations and the threat of impeachment was always an aggressive defensive maneuver. Its purpose was to ultimately protect Obama and his acolytes from criminal responsibity from trying to rig a Predidential election. It was also the centerpiece of the “resistance”, shamelessly aided by the MSM propagandists to secure the positions of the globalists in the Federal infrastructure. That is to prevent Trump from exercising real power, perform wholesale dismissals and firings and implementing his America first policy. Sorry to say it has been effective. Thus far Trump despite his threats to release documents and his caustic tweets has not arrested anyone and has not seized real power from the globalists. He has been playing so much defense, the Democrats now sense he has been weakened, will start their offensive of impeachment hearings again aided by a compliant MSM and hope to defeat him and his less than vibrant Republicans in 2020. The Left will have then deflected a serious threat and firmly grasp power. Will it happen? Most on FR would like to believe that Trump will attack at the most opportune moment and all will be well. Not so sure it will happen as decent people would like.
...Dems. should impeach or get off the pot. Tired of hearing the name Mueller and Comey. Tired of hearing about impeachment already. Do it and see what the Senate decides. Time for some action...
Repubs, AG, should indict or get off the pot. tired of hearing about brennan clapper, comey, hillarity, tired of hearing about indictments and treason coup, etc. do it and see what the juries say time for some action
Not only do I not think that way, I don't even know what you just said.
"..can you translate..?"
Ditto that.
By dragging all this out for years and throwing so much disinformation out nobody can remember all the “HorseClinton” (a new word I saw yesterday) or even cares anymore. See the Wiki, “Modified, Limited Hangout”.
Mueller and bible study doesnt go together after 2 years of acting on his Trump hate.
And what mueller did will make Barr go at it full force. He’s a fighter and they are not intimated...watch when he comes out..
Then suddenly Mueller announced the end. This happened just days after Barr was announced as the new Attorney General. Coincidence? I think not. Mueller knew that he was checkmated by a new, honest, and competent sheriff in town. Now Mueller finds himself in the same boat with Comey Clapper, Brennen and Lynch.
It is Mueller who has obstructed justice. His phony investigation into Trump's non existent obstruction charge has obstructed the investigation of the real crimes - using the powerful tools of the deep state to spy on political opponents. He clearly is forced to do what ever is necessary to destroy Barr, in order to keep himself out of jail - long term 'friend' or not.
I dunno if they actually intend to impeach, or if they want to shout it from the rooftops in order to distract from the real issues. If the latter, they’ll be shouting it until 2020 in the hopes that sheeple voters will assume where there’s smoke, there’s a crime.
I’d like to see him like, fall down or something.
Right you are! Mueller made the wrong choice. And just think of the hell he’s going to catch at home from his wife for screwing up her friendship with Barr’s wife.
Mueller and bible study doesnt go together after 2 years of acting on his Trump hate.

Everybody has a part to play and no one needs a script. Barr was AG for HW. Little secret about HW. Read up on where the first two bombs in Just Cause landed and why. Sorry to speak ill of the dead but HW was never “Our Guy”. Noriega took videos of visiting Congressmen at The Hotel Panama being “entertained” by teenage cheerleaders he flew in from the US through one way mirrors. Guess where he stored those films? Good guess! Exactly where those first two 500 pound bombs landed. Had they missed the entire invasion would have been cancelled. If I know this how could Barr not know?
Years ago before it was real popular I did a lot of reading the research into “bullying”. Turns out the bullies and their friends very rarely have meetings where they decide who to bully and how. Everyone involved knows what “part” they play and the know their “lines” without ever having to see the script. Even the victim knows their part and everybody predictably recites their lines in one take (which Hollywood should find enviable). All this is a lot like bullying. Mueller, Barr, Comey, even Trump, all know their part. Barr’s part is to keep the little people going to work, paying taxes, convinced that “good people are taking care of things”. He won’t deviate from that script as long as it’s working.
