All Things Trump: Is it over yet?

Truly bizarre. I wish we could get specifics. According to the piece they only get some 20 refugees a year!?

The attempt to stop that then has got to be someone's pet project. Expose them, their organization etc. It's bound to be ugly.

The organization is called "The Republican Party".

That finding runs directly counter to Trump's repeated insistence that the "lovers" Strzok and Page -- the two were engaged in an extramarital affair during the 2016 election -- were somehow actively shaping the counter-intelligence operation to target him and keep him from office.

Giuliani, who has no official role in gov't and is paid in some mysterious way:
Rudy Giuliani said he will transmit a "report" based on his recent visit to Ukraine to Attorney General William Barr and Republicans in Congress by the end of this week.

"I should probably have it ready on Wednesday or Thursday," Giuliani said Monday morning while appearing on "War Room: Impeachment," a radio show hosted by Steve Bannon and Jason Miller. "I don't exactly know when it'll be made public, but it should be ready by then. I worked on it all weekend."
As such, Giuliani said he hoped to present his evidence to congressional Republicans before the House Judiciary Committee votes on articles of impeachment, which could happen before Congress breaks for the holiday.

"It would really bear on fact that the president was not only justified in making this call, the president was required to make this call," Giuliani said
"He's going to make a report, I think to the attorney general and to Congress," Trump said. "He says he has a lot of good information. I have not spoken to him about that information."

Barr’s embrace of this kind of truth-annihilating strategy is particularly interesting. He’s an establishment Republican with long credentials in the party, but one who has emerged as one of the most capable and willing defenders of Trump and the ideology for which he stands. Barr’s reasons for this, as my colleague Ezra Klein explained, stem from a deep sense of persecution, a belief that conservatives and Christians are under siege from ruthless progressives, an existential battle that must be waged if America as we know it is to be preserved.

That interview was really something. If nothing else it demonstrated that Barr is a skilled liar. He's also very good at framing issues in a highly dishonest way. At one point when he was decrying the injustice done to Trump, he talked about how the investigation into the Russian connections of members of the campaign is unprecedented. I think that's true enough. He completely failed to mention that it was the apparently unprecedented influence campaign and outright electoral interference on the part of Russia, in connection with the highly suspect involvement with Russia on the part of those campaign personnel that triggered the investigations.
