C'est McConnell le guitariste ?
Je prédis l'arrivée imminente de canards alt-reicheux qu'on ne voit jamais d'habitude.
Le GOP c'est le Grand Old Party, pas le Great Old Party.
The term "Grand Old Party" is a traditional nickname for the Republican Party and the abbreviation "GOP" is a commonly used designation. The term originated in 1875 in the Congressional Record, referring to the party associated with the successful military defense of the Union as "this gallant old party". The following year in an article in the Cincinnati Commercial, the term was modified to "grand old party". The first use of the abbreviation is dated 1884

Barr : Y'avait bien une dizaine de trucs où on pourrait pinailler, mais bon, d'après moi y'a rien du tout.
Trump : No Collusion ! No Obstruction ! Regardez moi, je suis déguisé en Game of Thrones. For the haters and the radical left democrats : GAME OVER!
Alt-right: Maintenant, tous derrière Barr pour enquêter sur Obama et Hillary, vous allez en prendre plein la gueule pédales gauchistes (je résume)
Trump poste une photo de lui de dos, avec Game over en gros en police game of thrones, et en plus petit «pas de ollusion, pas d'obstruction, lol les rageux et les gauchistes» (littéralement)
Je reprend juste la fin parce que je te crois parfaitement correcte sur le reste (même si c'est une façon de faire un poil spécial à mon goût).
Il me semble qu'il n'y avait pas assez de sièges en jeu pour le Sénat aux dernières élections pour permettre une majorité démocrate non ?
Même dans les parties laissées visibles par Barr, le NY Times trouve quand même des trucs:
Substantial evidence indicates that the catalyst for the president’s decision to fire Comey was Comey’s unwillingness to publicly state that the president was not personally under investigation, despite the president’s repeated requests that Comey make such an announcement.Page 216: On June 17, 2017 the president called McGahn at home and directed him to call the acting attorney general and say that the special counsel had conflicts of interest and must be removed. McGahn did not carry out the direction, however, deciding that he would resign rather than trigger what he regarded as a potential Saturday Night Massacre.Papadopoulos suggested to a representative of a foreign government that the Trump Campaign had received indications from the Russian government that it could assist the Trump campaign through the anonymous release of information that would be damaging to Hillary Clinton.
Si y en avait assez. Mais les démocrates partaient avec un désavantage car la majorité des sièges remis en vote appartenaient à des démocrates.
Sur les 33 sièges pour lesquels ils votaient, y avait 24D, 9R, 2 indépendants. ça a finit en 22D, 11R, 2 indépendants.

On several occasions, the president directed aides not to publicly disclose the emails setting up the June 9 [2016] meeting, suggesting that the emails would not leak and that the number of lawyers with access to them should be limited. Before the emails became public, the president edited a press statement for Trump Jr. by deleting a line that acknowledged that the meeting was with ‘an individual who [Trump Jr.] was told might have information helpful to the campaign’ and instead said only the meeting was about adoptions of Russian children. When the press asked questions about the president’s involvement in Trump Jr.’s statement, the president’s personal lawyer repeatedly denied the president had played any role.
Moi je dis oui:

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/04/18/u...ased-live.htmlThe report detailed dramatic conflicts within the White House. When Mr. Trump learned of Mr. Mueller’s appointment, he slumped in his chair and said, “Oh my God. This is terrible. This is the end of my presidency. I’m fucked.”
Geeks love opening boxes full of cool shit that will be burned in an incinerator when they die.

Summary - key takeways from Mueller report so far
•Robert Mueller described 10 instances in which Donald Trump engaged in potential obstruction of justice and suggested that Congress might prosecute the acts as crimes, though Mueller stopped short of recommending such a prosecution.
•Mueller went much further than attorney general Bill Barr has suggested, the special counsel pointing to serious wrongdoing on Trump’s part that could amount to criminal activity. Mueller said that had his team concluded that the president had committed no crime, they would have said so. Instead, Mueller wrote: “Based on the facts and the applicable legal standards, however, we are unable to reach that judgment.”
•Mueller’s investigation found that “in some instances, the [Trump] campaign was receptive” to Russian offers of help in the presidential election. In other instances campaign officials “shied away”, Mueller wrote. “Ultimately, the investigation did not establish that the campaign co-ordinated or conspired with the Russian government in its election interference activities,” the report says.
•Trump believed he was “fucked” and his presidency over when Robert Mueller was appointed. According to notes kept by Jody Hunt, who served as Sessions’ chief of staff, Trump’s reaction to Mueller’s appointment was as follows: “The President slumped back in his chair and said, ‘Oh my God. This is terrible. This is the end of my presidency. I’m fucked.’”We heard Barr say earlier this morning that Mueller divides the second half of his report into 10 episodes of possible obstruction of justice by Trump. In fact, the special counsel lists 11 key issues, which he headlines as:
1) How the Trump campaign reacted to reports that Russia was trying to interfere with the 2016 presidential election on Trump’s behalf, including response to WikiLeaks’ dump of emails
2) How Trump behaved over the investigation into his first national security adviser Michael Flynn
3) Trump’s reaction to the start of the FBI’s investigation into potential links with Russia, including when he asked the then FBI director James Comey to “lift the cloud” over his presidency
4) The firing of Comey
5) Trump’s efforts to have Mueller himself fired – a particularly ironic episode given the report’s author
6) The president’s on-going attempts to curtail Mueller’s investigation and limit its remit
7) Trump’s efforts to prevent details becoming public of the notorious Trump Tower meeting in June 2016 between his son Don Jr, son-in-law Jared Kusher and Paul Manafort with a group of Russians peddling dirt on Hillary Clinton
8) The president’s bid to force Jeff Sessions, the then attorney general, to reverse his decision to recuse himself from the Russia inquiry and take back the reins of the investigation
9) A new detail this: How Trump not only ordered then White House counsel Don McGahn to fire Mueller in June 2017, he then went on to order McGahn publicly to deny that he had told him to do so. (McGahn refused to do either.)
10) Trump’s behavior towards Flynn after the latter began cooperating with investigators, including asking Flynn to give him a “heads up” if he knew “information that implicates the President”.
11) The president’s conduct towards his longtime lawyer and fixer Michael Cohen, particularly after Cohen “flipped” and began cooperating with Mueller.
Certes, certes certes, d'un point de vue macro-politique une reprise du Sénat par les démocrates était peu probable. Même si pas impossible non plus, avec FiveThirtyEight qui donnait autour de 20% de probabilité de victoire Démocrate au Sénat (pour rappel, Trump était à 33% de chances la veille de son élection).
Voici la prédiction de 538 avant le vote:
Il fallait gagner 2 siège aux Démocrates, et n'en perdre aucun, pour prendre la majorité au Sénat qui partait avec une composition de 49 (D) / 51 (R) (en cas de 50/50, Pence permettait aux Républicains de conserver leur majorité).
Les démocrates ont bien gagné ces deux sièges (Arizona et Nevada), mais en ont perdu 4 (Indiana, Floride, North Dakota, Missouri), ce qui donne la répartition actuelle 47 (D) / 53 (R).
Bon la Floride, c'était à un poil de cul et ça aurait parfaitement pu finir en un siège démocrate conservé. Les 3 autres étaient effectivement très en danger, et "The caravan!" et Kavanaugh ont bien aidé à remobiliser l'électorat républicain pour gagner ces sièges.
Arrêtez avec ces fake news, la vérité est plus simple.
On peut dire que comme pas mal de monde s'y attendait, le rapport est pas du tout comme Barr le présentait. Il est assez accablant pour trump alors qu'y a pas mal de rédaction. Et que grosso modo Mueller a dit "pour l'obstruction de justice, c'est au congrès d'agir".
Donc ce rapport ne débouchera sur rien du tout, comme avant?
Et aussi : « Le rapport confirme que Trump a tenté de virer Bob Mueller. Mais son conseiller juridique a refusé d'appliquer les ordres. McGahn craignait de provoquer le genre de "saturday night massacre" qui avait été fatal à Nixon.»

Jerry Nadler sort les griffes et lit un official statement : "Vous nous prenez pour des abrutis ou quoi ?", et il convoque Mueller pour témoigner officiellement.
Let the fun begin !
C'est pas bientôt les congés pour le congrès ? Je suppose qu'il faudra attendre 10 jours pour la suite des événements ?
En gros n’importe qui sauf Donald serait dans la merde avec ce rapport mais la rien ne va se passer ça risque même de rassurer Donald qui va continuer/accélérer vu que plus rien ne le menace.
