Putin had no idea how well his investment in the 2016 election would pay off.

If the choices in 2020 are between Donald Trump and warren or sanders, I vote for some third party no name.

Those 3 are unacceptable.

I respect that. No sense to place a vote for someone you cannot support in some fashion.

Yup. That is also how it shook out for me last time.

It would be good if our intelligence agencies are pitted against themselves and we could further demoralize and decimate the ranks of career employees right before the next election. At least that's what Putin told me. He should know. They are going to install a bust of Barr in the Kremlin if he does this well.

Short, but worth it. "Frank Figliuzzi explained it well: Opening a criminal inquiry will ensure that people will lawyer up and not cooperate, which is the look Trump wants.

This is a sham investigation, for the optics they believe will benefit Trump."

As the impeachment hearings get more and more alarming for Donald Trump, with damning new evidence emerging every day, there appears to be increasing urgency in the parallel counteroffensives under way by the president’s team in an attempt to defend him.

There are attacks against the witnesses giving testimony by Trump and his supporters, including attempts to smear Lieutenant Colonel Alexander Vindman, Ukraine expert at the National Security Council who this week provided crucial testimony about Trump’s telephone call to Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky...

At the same time, overshadowed by the publicity around the impeachment, is the ever-broadening investigation by William Barr, the attorney general, which the White House sees as a game-changer. An investigation which is seeking nothing less than to overturn the conclusion of the US intelligence services and special counsel Robert Mueller that Russia interfered in the last US presidential election...

The attorney general is focusing on the theory, aired on far-right conspiracy sites, and raised by Trump and Giuliani, that Ukraine framed Vladimir Putin over the US election in a complex triple-cross operation by impersonating Russian hackers.

Trump and Barr have also been asking other foreign governments for help in investigating the FBI, CIA and Mueller investigators. The US president has called on the Australian prime minister Scott Morrison for assistance, while the attorney general has been on similar missions to the UK and Italy.

And the information being requested has left allies astonished. One British official with knowledge of Barr’s wish list presented to London commented that “it is like nothing we have come across before, they are basically asking, in quite robust terms, for help in doing a hatchet job on their own intelligence services”.
