Let's hope that Garland's delay in bringing indictments is a clever strategy to unleash them in the weeks before the election. Same with the House Select Committee on Jan.6, whose website shows no more hearings scheduled. Let's hope the Democrats have finally woken up to the scare tactics of their opponents, and come together behind the scenes to plan strategy.

Yes. With the crises going on, the gentleman's agreement to not push the evidence out before the election should be off. Why be suckered into having to explain the lost seats because we were constrained to not act politically? Sorta like withholding the burning gun because the jury has been sent to deliberate. No retrial in elections. Guess I'm still disappointed (pissed?) that Mueller wasn't explicit enough or wouldn't go around Barr's rewrite of the findings because (a) I worked and report to him and don't disagree in public with my director and (b) tradition is that we don't indict a sitting president, even if there are these 11 tranches of potentially convictable crimes committed against our institutions, his oath of office, the American people, and that he got elected by conspiring to commit voting fraud by engaging with foreign entities to steal the 2016 election. By he way, we're still acting like suckers for having helped open the barn doors and deferred to rules not followed except for the polite gentle persons living in a time before when Norquist changed the opposition from a bunch of independent thinkers who came to serve into a solid flank running roughshod over every Democrat or socialist or liberal communist they could identify and all the while ridding on the horses whose reins we once held as they road out of the (our) barn? Not to be extremist, but when do you stop serving the opposition tea and crumpets and start feeding ham and eggs to our starving causes? OK. I am stilled passed at Mueller. Can imagine the lamentations following the battle of 2022 and the overthrow in 2024.
