    Can we be honest here and admit that the Trump administration is literally killing any and all evidence of what happened in 2016 ? They dropped charges against these russian firms, just like they dropped the charges against Flynn. They are literally re-"investigating" themselves and then dropping everything and their supporters are cheering this. It's been stunning to watch. We literally have the fox guarding the henhouse.

    Im sure if this was the Obama administration those on the right would be supporting this in the same manner

    Rather dated article....this has been known for awhile....the fact is, prosecuting a foreign company won't get far....with that said from your article:


    "The idea that it had to protect classified information simply isn't convincing," he told NBC News. "The government told the judge at the outset of this case that it could be prosecuted with no classified evidence whatsoever. I think the prosecutors were simply convinced at the time they filed this case that no one would show up to defend it."

    Marc Raimondi, a spokesman for the Justice Department's National Security Division, said Concord Management "was making a mockery of our legal system and had no intention of providing the materials the court asked for. They have sought to weaponize the discovery process."

    DOJ attorneys involved in the case, he said, reached the decision by evaluating "the risk versus the reward. Who are you going to hold accountable? They have nobody except an outside attorney. So what are you getting in return for all of this information that we're providing that details how we conduct investigations into foreign interference?"

    Raimondi also noted that the entire case was not dismissed. "Nothing has changed for the dozen individuals who were also indicted. Our intention is to see them in court somebody. Maybe one of them will travel and we'll get them."

    So you didn't read your own cite. They don't have a case and can bring no one in to prosecute. They can't even force the documents they would need. This was explained when Mueller first desperately issued the indictments, that he would never be able to enforce nor force the defendants to even show up for trial. Your own article explains the risk/reward situation.

    By now it should be obvious to all that trump operates like a mobster and Barr is his mob lawyer.
    They are working to destroy the rule of law in the US.

    If this is about the Concord Management indictment being dropped, it's really old news.

    Concord "lawyered up" with a good US firm, and DOJ's bluff became apparent when they could not comply with discovery procedures.

    Russiagate was a hoax almost as big as Plandemic.

    Trumpists when Trump was running: "Drain the swamp!"
    Trumpists ever since: "Build that swamp!"

    Corruption personified, not that they ever actually cared about corruption. You can't and still vote for Trump.

    Nonsense, you simply had nothing to begin with. That entire investigation had fallen apart, built by nothing but hopes and dreams.

    So say your religious doctrines. The facts speak to the opposite.

    It certainly has triggered the minds of the malcontents. The problem for them is, as obama era documents are slowly being revealed, all the engineered drama of the left are being proven lies and fabrications.
    Proceed forward Mr. Barr, uncover these frauds for what and who they are, and don't forget the Slick Willie and Loretta Lynch accidental meeting at an airport in Phoenix.

    The "falling apart" is due to a politicized DOJ that refuses to pursue the facts and claims that that they can't, for example, figure out how to build a case against a guy who has repeatedly pleaded guilty. Fake new, fake DOJ. And this case has nothing directly to do with Trump, though it is telling that you would assume it would.

    Incorrect, it’s due to an attempted coup coming to light as everyone sees it for what it was. It was a case built on corruption and is being exposed, piece by piece. It was started because y’all hate Trump lol.

    I care deeply about the corruption and treason-like acts at the highest levels of the FBI in the Obama administration.

    If you really cared, you would learn what words like "treason" mean and also show concern for the corruption under the Trump administration. No, you don't actually care.

    That's where you're wrong. The right believes in innocent until proven guilty and the rule of law.

    If Trump had been guilty of all the things of which he had been accused the right would be calling for justice.

    Fact is the FBI was politically motivated to manufacture all this evidence to get the president. It was all fake. So any charges made as a result of investigation are therefore fake.

    Don't like it? Blame Peter Strozk and those giving him his orders.

    How much faith did you have in the Mueller report before it dropped and flopped?

    There's been an unlimited special counsel investigation of Trump for two year's duration and a Christmas impeachment with a trial in the new year. Investigations and the trial are over. There was nothing there.

    Of course it's a massive international cover-up (beating Nixon's domestic cover-up), but OTOH, those Russia cases were likely going nowhere anyway.

    Flynn's cover-up is far worse for America, long term...

    Trump's plan is clearly working... for Trump, not for us...

    November Is Coming!

    If you consider buying ads on social media for less than $10000 to be meddling, I guess they did.

    That meddling is but a drop in the bucket compared to the meddling by Israel in our politics.
