MSNBC Meltdown Over Barr Holding Mueller Report Press Conference

[jimnyc]

These nitwits are hilarious and so damn predictable. They are losing their lunches because the attorney general of the US is going to have a press conference in the morning. Not even a subject given but will almost definitely be about the release of the Mueller report tomorrow with security redactions.

This is the dems and everyone on the left, their last chance to nail Trump. Why Petey is waiting things out, hoping for something in this to bite into and claim he wasn't wrong. The democrats are dying to get to this report to find and twist anything they can. Angry already that the AG of the USA will be giving a press conference with Rod Rosenstein, but would likely approve if it were Mueller. :rolleyes: It's all so "extraordinary"! LOL

The spin here. It's "no longer the Mueller report" they are doing this, that and the other thing! It's the end of the world!!! She is saying that Barr is going to be a shill for him. Man, they have it all figured out already. And many of us said from day one, that they would put a spin on things no matter what is released.

MSNBC Meltdown Over Barr Holding Mueller Report Press Conference

As news broke Wednesday afternoon that Attorney General William Barr would be holding a press conference Thursday morning on the release of the Mueller report, MSNBC reporters and pundits began rending their garments over the announcement. Anchor Nicolle Wallace and her panel of journalist guests denounced the Justice Department chief for the supposed outrage of planning to take questions from the press.

“This seems to me, and we don’t have this reported out just yet, to be a move that the President might think....will help shape the coverage of the Mueller report. This is extraordinary,” Wallace alarmingly declared as she reacted to the breaking news. Liberal Washington Post columnist Eugene Robinson joined in the lamenting: “Yeah, it is extraordinary. But yeah, he wants to help – he wants to shape the coverage, he wants, as was said, to make it a partisan issue, and he wants to get out in front of it, if possible.”

Wallace warned:


But it’s no longer the Mueller report. It’s now the two guys, Barr and Rosenstein, who I’m told will join him, who put their finger on the scale and made the decision about obstruction that Mueller didn’t make, spinning the decision they made when they put the finger on the scale about obstruction, which Mueller wouldn’t do, the Mueller report. It’s no longer the release of the Mueller report, guys.

Moments later, she called the press conference an “extraordinary development” and talked about the Mueller investigation in religious terms: “But if the whole point was to take this sacred undertaking, the Mueller report, and release it as unredacted as they could, it seems to stomp all over any aims of being viewed as not involved in shaping that report, its end, its release, its spin, its perception to present it yourselves, no?”

Repeating her favorite phrase one more time, Wallace whined: “It’s extraordinary, though, this announcement made by Donald Trump in a radio interview that the country’s attorney general will present the 22-month-long Mueller investigation to the country.” She trashed Barr: “It’s just an extraordinary leap into not just the President’s political and legal prerogatives, I guess a leap Barr has already made. But to be a shill....he becomes the first cabinet secretary to plunge into the deep end of Trump’s conspiracy pool.”

Los Angeles Times White House reporter Eli Stokols agreed: “Right. And I think, you know, you want – if you want the public to take this report seriously and to believe that the Justice Department is credible, you would probably think twice about putting the head of the Justice Department out on TV to do spin for you.”

Though he at least had some self-awareness and sense of irony about the media complaining that Barr was going to speak to the media:

These clowns grasp at more straws than a jackass in a barn.

It is amusing to see them go into hissy fits (pardon ladies) any time things do
not go the way they have tried to steer since the first of this waste of money,
waste of time, and utter bullshit.

Nothing about this situation is funny in the least. These motherfucker collaborated and lied to the American people about Russian collusion for over 2 years and even now are still trying to pull the wool over the eyes of the average American, who frankly is too stupid to see that they have been played.

All their lying was obviously for nothing. Now they wanted to extend it as long as possible. And then even now, they plan on just finding anything and everything within this report to continue their BS. --- And I think come 2020 it only helps Trump.

Hopefully they'll get some of what they want though, and some of that information will lead to more investigating - of the Dems involved.

They'll never be held accountable Jim. They have played this perfectly. If Barr investigates them for their illegal operation, they will scream that Trump is using the Justice Department as a political weapon. Because that's what Democrats do, they accuse others of doing what they themselves have done or are doing.

Democrats are scum.

I had never been much into politics until along came the Clintons, then Obama, Reid, and Pilosi.
Now I have grown to see how childishly corrupt the liberal and socialist branches of the Dem party have become.

High-chair tray spoon-pounding brats!

'Why? WHY?': Nicolle Wallace Completely Loses It After Barr Presser

MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace exploded in the aftermath of Attorney General Bill Barr’s press conference Thursday morning. Wallace’s mental condition visibly deteriorated during the course one particularly impassioned rant, in which she smeared Barr as “shill” and a “human shield” for the President, until she was reduced to repeatedly crying, “Why? Why?”

The grief-stricken Deadline: White House host began her tirade with a number of accusations at the President: “As the country’s chief executive, he sat in his pajamas watching Fox & Friends maligning the FBI, maligning Robert Mueller, maligning Rod Rosenstein.”

She then turned her ire to Barr: “And what the country’s Attorney General did was walk in there and back up the guy doing the kicking.”

“Why?” She demanded. “Why?”

PANIC! CNN Is in Need of a Safe Space After a Delusional FREAK OUT Over Barr Presser

Folks, this was the moment we’ve been waiting over two years for and it is glorious. On Thursday morning ahead of the Mueller report’s release and after a press conference by Attorney General Bill Barr, CNN and it’s nine-person panel suffered a meltdown of biblical proportions, lashing out like Adam Schiff campaign workers at Barr’s “excessive and suspicious” “political commercial” offering “gratuitous statements” for the President and against the press.

Co-host Jake Tapper spoke before the panel of liberal analysts and journalists, setting the table by wondering “why did the attorney general do this” since “[w]e were told it was just to be transparent...but it actually was what the Democrats feared it would be, which was the attorney general getting out there and getting his narrative, his take on it as vigorously as possible.”

Chief legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin was the first to offer comments fit for a straight-jacket, asserting that Barr put on “an extraordinary political commercial for the President” that “was a discussion of the sympathy and the difficulty and the challenge that the President faced, and how not withstanding all of that, the White House cooperated” even though Trump was never interviewed in-person.

Legal and national security analyst Carrie Cordero was even more blunt (click “expand”):


I have to say, the attorney general had an opportunity this morning to rise above the politics and to adhere to institutional Justice Department just sticking to what the process was that he was supposed to talk about and which he said he was actually talking about, and he blew it. I mean, he just came out and to say that the President took, “no act that deprived the investigation of witnesses or documents,” when as Jeffrey just said, the President, like other presidents have in the past with investigations, been willing to be either — willing to be interviewed by the special counsel's team in addition to all the things the President tweeted against witnesses and people who were involved in the case that could potentially be taken by them as aggressive or intimidating. It's just not a true statement, what the attorney general said just now, and that piece, he should have stuck to the process because on the process, he actually is being consistent with his commitment to transparency.

In Wake Of Mueller, Scarborough Proposes Changing Constitution To Rein In 'Would Be Tyrant In The White House'

In the A Block of MSNBC's Morning Joe on Thursday, co-host Joe Scarborough suggested that we need to reconsider how the attorney general is appointed. In the B Block, he got specific and also offered some other norm-busting proposals, all in the name of saving norms.

Scarborough's opposition to Attorney General William Barr led him to have, "been thinking about the attorney general position for quite some time." Barr's performance has been so awful, according to Scarborough, that he thinks the AG should be appointed for ten years, just like the FBI Director, or needs to be confirmed by a super-majority in the Senate. That position, while bad, because it would protect the Justice Department from accountability, were not even Scarborough's most outrageous suggestions.

Another one of his proposed "reforms" was to take the final say regarding classified information out of the hands of the President and put into that of the Intelligence Community. "If the president says it's not classified, then it's not classified. Wrong! That's the wrong answer!" Scarborough ranted. "And it's also wrong for the President of the United States to be a security risk when he's talking to Vladimir Putin."

They are pissed that their criminal conspiracy to convict Trump of something, anything, has now fallen apart.

These people are lucky I am not President, because some of them would absolutely disappear under my regime. It's gotten to that point. It's either take out a few of them at the top or civil war is around the corner.

You don't really think they believe what they are saying do you? It's all about power. No one actually believes that the Russians put Trump into power. They never have believed that. For example.

Oh I think some of them are self deluded enough to believe their own lies... if you tell yourself often enough that you are smarter, wiser and better looking than anyone else you could soon convince yourself that it is true. I do believe there is a name for that sort of mental illness....
