Federal judge orders DOJ to hand over memo Bill Barr used to clear Trump of obstruction of justice over the findings in the Mueller investigation
UK Daily Mail ^ | May 06 2021 | ASSOCIATED PRESS and GEOFF EARLE

A federal judge has ordered the release of a legal memorandum the Trump-era Justice Department prepared for then-Attorney General William Barr before he announced his conclusion that President Donald Trump had not obstructed justice during the Russia investigation.

The Justice Department had refused to give the March 24, 2019, memorandum to a government transparency group that requested it under the Freedom of Information Act, saying the document represented the private advice of lawyers and was produced before any formal decision had been made and was therefore exempt from disclosure under public records law.

But U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson said the Justice Department had obscured 'the true purpose of the memorandum' when it withheld the document.

So Hillary takes a hammer to her hard drives and phones, and the Harris admin wants to go back in time to search for more Trump Russia stuff.

Harvard grad, appointed to district court by Obama. If you asked around for a short list of replacement Justices for the Supreme Court....she’s probably in the top fifteen names.

Seems like flogging a dead horse is all they are capable of. A lightening bolt up the behind won’t move this corpse but it doesn’t stop them trying. How obsessed are these people with Trump? Anything that threatens to delay or hamper the progress of their diabolical plans has to be crushed.

The more they push it, the more they will lose. The following is much better than Twitter, by the way.

Amy Berman Jackson...no judge was ever as corrupt as she...

This act, should force new trials in Roger Stone’s situation. And any others related to Trump. Just a pure crooked judge.

Why? Trump already commuted Stone’s sentence. Let Stone fade off into the sunset - except he can’t keep his mouth shut:

Modern missile rarely miss their intended target by that much and magically hit a propane tank.

Amy Berman Jackson is just another Barack Obama stooge doing the democratic party bidding.

We have been watching The Mentalist TV Show. In season 6, they resolved the matter of Red John, the serial killer who murdered the wife and daughter of the main character. The reason they had so much trouble figuring out who Red John was, was because of The Blake Society. A vast network of police, judges and politicians who covered up crimes by any other member. The password amongst Society members was ‘Tiger, Tiger’.

We watched this series when it was on TV in the 00’s. Watching it now, I can’t help but think that there is a ‘Blake Society’ in our country that covers up crimes, even treason, for their favored Leftists. The judges being in the forefront here.

So sad our country has fallen into such an abyss that we cannot trust even those for whom we vote........

Where do the democrats have MUELLER hidden?

Has he been seen in the last year or so?

And is he still ‘confused’ as he was, when he testified before Congress?

Just wondering...
