Short cynical rant

Do you suppose John Durham suddenly expanded his investigation to include the Clinton Foundation in order to justify not releasing a report until after the election? And do you suppose that, after the election, we're going to get the same old "no evidence of a crime" b.s.? It's difficult to see how a two-year investigation into something as big as a coup attempt hasn't generated more then one indictment (and that one on relatively minor charges). Next, I suppose Durham will decide that he needs to take a hard look at the Missouri Compromise or the accounting for the construction of the Panama Canal.

Seriously, I may just secede all by myself. Pacovia will need a flag and a national anthem, so I'd better get cracking.

So you believe Maria's unnamed sources? If their info's so good why not put their names on it?

Brennan assured us just a couple of weeks ago that he's in the clear. Let's see how that works out for him. Let's see what the corrupt Judge Sullivan does tomorrow. Don't go all Sundance Hoft, "if I can't see it, nothings happening".

No, not necessarily, just spitballing. Too many sources have been off the mark for me to really form a conclusion one way or the other. Naturally, I hope Durham's investigation produces something useful, and a deep dive into the Clinton Foundation would be very revealing - if it's a genuine deep dive.

Yeah, GP tends to be a little overwrought in its headlines sometimes. I'm not writing Durham off; however, I'm not assuming he's Gary Cooper in High Noon, either.

There will be nothing more than a wrist slap for the perpetrators and conspirators in this thing. Remember that with the exception of Trump, they are all insiders and have known and worked for each other for decades. Their motivation, IMO, is to protect the institution(s) not the bad guys, but the bad guys end up getting a pass as a result.

Sorry to be so cynical but that's what my experience tells me.

Any flag for Pacovia must include an image of a fedora and a pistol. Just sayin.

There's probably not enough soap on this world to clean up after such a deep dive.

All Hail Pacovia! What title shall you be addressed by?

There may have been a weakening since Clinesmith's plea.

I've given up paying attention to anything they say about Making The Coup Plotters!!! Pay!!!!
Until there are indictments and perp-walks of some upper level types I'm utterly uninterested.
The rule of law is dead, as we can see with the newest Ilhan Omar illegalities the Dept of "Justice" is going to ignore, to go with her immigration fraud and campaign finance crimes.

Some guy in MD gets a year in jail for having outdoor parties but Nancy Pelosi can have a law-closed beauty parlor opened for her and nothing happens.

The Spanish civil war model is about the best case scenario at this point. Seriously.

Rebecca: Fedora and pistol. Sounds perfect.

Deb: I think Paquissimo will do.
