Why are they not in jail?
There are a lot of people not in jail who should be in jail. Maybe Barr will finally do something about that.

Eric Swalwell
Yes, he ought to scare the hell out of you. And if you want to know what the Left is thinking, he’s the poster child. There are few more honest than him about wanting to take your guns.
The Delusional Democrats
Thoughts from VDH on the adolescent “progressive” mind.
Meanwhile, over at The Nation, they’re sounding like National Review.
No, Democrats
The Obama administration was not “scandal free.”
And, as noted there, the biggest scandal not just of that administration, but perhaps American history, is on the verge of being unveiled. But the media will continue to attempt to cover it up and distract.
The Day Of Reckoning
Conrad Black writes that it’s now dawning for the Democrats. I hope that Barr exposes the whole scheme.
[Update a few minutes later]
Strzok and Page are back in the news. I think we’re going to start seeing more and more as we continue to turn over the rocks.
[Update mid morning]
The Obama administration’s problem with spying, and Trump.
The Woods Procedures
Were they followed in the FISA-court applications to surveil Carter Page?
It would strongly appear to be not. I think I’m looking forward to Horowitz’s report. And Mueller’s testimony to Congress, when he’s questioned by people who care about the rule of law (i.e., not the Democrats).
The Mueller Report
I drove up to Fremont from LA early this morning, and listened to Fox News in the car, and heard Barr’s press conference, then commentary on the released document.
The notion that Trump obstructed justice is now clearly absurd, but we’re going to continue to be dragged through this mud right up until the election. I hope that the Democrats badly regret it on November 11, 2020 (which coincidentally, will be Armistice Day).
[Update early evening]
The Barr has been raised:
…here is the existential issue that the report confronts us with. William Barr observed at one point that ‘all Americans can and should be grateful to have [the president’s innocence] confirmed.’ And yet many people, far from being grateful, will be enraged. And that is a huge problem for the Republic.
What has happened over the past two-plus years is a fundamental attack on the legitimacy of our democratic republic. Tactical partisan maneuvering has overwhelmed the institution of presidential elections. Note that this is a one-party party. It probably started in earnest with the election of George W. Bush in 2000. Al Gore withdrew his concession and put the country through months of legal wrangling. Republicans were unhappy when Barack Obama was elected in 2008 and again in 2012. But there was no question of his legitimacy. But when Donald Trump won in 2016, the sort of antidemocratic forces that beset George Bush had mutated from an angry squad of activists into an army of deniers.
Should that substitution of weaponized tactical maneuvering continue to intrude upon the legitimacy of our elections, those elections will be decided less and less at the ballot box and more and more by interest-group jockeying, bribery, and intimidation.
It’s going to get uglier before it gets prettier.
[Update a few minutes later]
The Democrats continue to destroy themselves over the Mueller report.
I don’t mind that much, but my fear is that they’ll take the rest of us down with them.
[Friday-morning update]
“Mueller completely dropped the ball with his obstruction punt.”
Unlike some, I don’t think that Trump owes Mueller an apology. It seems clear to me that he dragged this out, even though he knew many months ago that there was no collusion, for no purpose other than to provide the Democrats with ammunition to continue to if not impeach, to cripple the administration. People keep telling me that he’s a Republican, but if so, he would appear to be a Never Trumper. Frustrated himself that, despite loading his team with Clinton supporters and donors, he couldn’t get anything solid against Trump, he instead decided to smear him.
[Update a while later]
Mueller, Trump, and ‘two years of bullshit.’
[Noon update]
Volume II of the Mueller report is a two-hundred page op-ed that should never have been written.
[Late-afternoon updates]
Mark Penn (former Bill Clinton pollster): Mueller is over. Democrats should move on. Trump is no Nixon.
Making The Barrier Reef Great Again
A major blow for free speech in academia in Australia. And yes, there should be consequences for people who do this sort of thing.
The Media, Fusion GPS, And The FBI
There remain a lot of unanswered questions.
Let’s hope Horowitz, Barr, and maybe Huber get to the bottom of them in the next couple months.
Kim Kardashian Is Right
You shouldn’t have to attend law school to practice law. I hadn’t realized that you could pass the bar without a J.D. in California. That seems far too sensible for this state.
[Update a few minutes later]
Reading through the piece, it becomes hugely clear what a monstrous scam the bar associations are.
[Update a few more minutes later]
Why are the bar pass rates sunk to record lows? Gail Heriot (from whom I got this link) may have an answer, and it’s all part of the general “progressive” scam.
