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.
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. Barrs part is to keep the little people going to work, paying taxes, convinced that good people are taking care of things. He wont deviate from that script as long as its working.
Now Mueller finds himself in the same boat with Comey Clapper, Brennen and Lynch.
Retired, millionaires, and living the high life with no threat of prosecution or criminal charges, just like anyone named Clinton or Obama - zero percent change of living on the inside of a jail cell.
