crikey

according to the Guardian 15,000 screaming fans turned up at the O2 Greenwich to idolise Michelle Obamah.

Elsewhere Nancy Pelosi has also been in London meeting with Corbyn - it seems unlikely that Labour's catering was a hit - looks even worse in the Independent

Twitter up to their games again.

5 clicks to turn the retweet counter green on a Steve McIntyre Tweet - but it didn't increment the counter ....

Spotlight in USA shifting across from FBI to CIA and Brennan

The rapidity with which Assange has disappeared from UK media hints that there is some tip-toeing going on - predictably the excitable Dan Bongino has picked up on that - pointing out some interesting connections - #959

It's clear that the highly experienced AG Barr is going to sail along dealing with things in a professional manner and seems blissfully unfazed by the histrionics of the politicians. His "slightly resigned tolerance" of Senator Feinstein was a joy to watch.

Political taxidermists are likely looking forwards to some bumper business.

Spooks will be spooks but this is the bizzarest tidbit (a lot of competition there) about the Salisbury Novichock business.

DJT shown pictures of dead ducks and hospitalised children

WTF?

oof

some clucking in the henhouse

#IAmBecoming is looking more like a run as every day passes. Similar MO to hubby in some ways....

She could pardon him :-)

A GlennGreewald thread on Twitter worth a peruse.

The meltdown is epic.

I've looked at collages of melting down MSM types over the Mueller / Barr stuff stateside - what is striking for me is the regular appearances of BBC-USA TDS smitten Katty Kay as a manic circle-jerker on other networks.

The UK rendering of the BBC web site and the one served up to archive.org (and presumably US visitors) have varied today wrt Mueller Report - it's so lamely skewed, it's embarrassing.

One thing that is entirely obvious is that partisan Obamah folk at FBI-CIA ran numerous entrapment operations against Trump campaign and GOP but there were no takers - Mueller used similar strategy but with added Weissman antics. Weissman has previous for multiple prosecutorial misconduct and acting in extreme bad faith - he really deserves to be stuffed and have his head on Barr's office wall.

y'all might have missed one observation in the Muellered report.

"Robert Mueller’s report to the attorney general states that Mr. Cohen was not in Prague."

DJT didn't get a golden shower in Moscow either

and a bunch of other stuff

It's easy to imagine Mueller's head next to Schiff and Weissmann on a wall

One for Phil Clarke

Russiagate - The Truth

clipe

thanks

Mark Levin is spot on - dealing with that is going to be the challenge in the toxic atmosphere that presently pervades US politics.

After watching Nadler, Schiff, Schumer, Pelosi etc. and a bunch of MSNBC and CNN stuff I feel that they should have a nemesis somewhere in the not too far distant future.

I wonder if any of this tech will be rolled out over the next few months.....

Steve McIntyre thread on Twitter about Muelller report stuff the MSM isn't talking about.

summary - Comey was telling DJT in private that he personally categorically wasn't under investigation but when DJT asked him to officially announce that - Comey wouldn't and kept feeding the rumour mill.... more detail in there - the ex FBI director does not come out of it well nor does Rosenstein.

I absolutely never, ever expected to feel sympathy for Donald Trump - if this doesn't end with some custodial sentences for the perps - it will fester badly.

ooops....

Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx has been subpoenaed to appear at a court hearing this Thursday regarding her handling of the Jussie Smollett case.

The Chicago Tribune reports that Sheila O’Brien, a former appellate judge, is seeking the appointment of a special prosecutor to investigate the handling of Smollett’s case, and requested that “Foxx and her top deputy, Joseph Magats, as well as Smollett produce their original files and documents on the case to ensure ‘that they have not been altered or destroyed.'”

Odd.... Squarespace *really* does not like that as an embeded link

Where we're at .....

Barr: Was my letter inaccurate?

Mueller: No.

Barr: Was the media coverage of my letter inaccurate?

Mueller: Yes.

and then.... CNN give us this - pffff.....

Sure sounds like AG Barr handed some folk in US Congress their asses earlier today - sounds like there might be a few memorable moments in there....
