UPDATES are in comments. (#6 is out of order as it is a reply)
NOTE *The Hill is totally misrepresenting this so do not go there for info!
I apologize for writing back to back entries but this one is a BFD to anyone disappointed in the Mueller investigation being wrongly curtailed. This is the highlight of the documents from the decision.
See documents pertaining to the suit here: https://www.citizensforethics.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Final-opinion.pdf
If this is followed through, it SHOULD lead to a reopening of the Mueller investigation. And here is who to thank if it does... https://twitter.com/CREWcrew/status/1560639138809843712
CREW forgot to add traveling to Europe looking for dirt on Biden and ignoring the January 6 violence
Any lawyers here to discuss the Statute of limitations on this for LOSER45?
This is what Barr and DOJ dismissed without investigation and why tRUMP hired Barr.
After this is released, the Mueller Report needs to be released in full as well.

DOJ Obstruction Memo Reveals Bill Barr Is an Even Bigger Trump Hack Than Previously Thought
"The justifications for not charging the then president were, unsurprisingly, bullshit."
https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2022/08/bill-barr-donald-trumpjustice-department-mueller-obstruction-memo
What president , you may ask? Reagan, Bush or tRUMP... take your pick.
Barr with his lackey Mueller, who caved to prove the GOP DOJ works for the GOP president... not the people.
Bombshell NYT report reveals Bill Barrâs special counsel opened 'secret' financial crimes probe into Trump. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/01/26/us/durham-trump-russia-barr.html
Bill Barr asked Italian officials to discredit Russia probe â they responded with evidence linking Trump to crimes. "Italian officials... unexpectedly offered a potentially explosive tip linking Mr. Trump to certain suspected financial crimes," the Times reports. "Mr. Barr and [former special counsel John] Durham decided that the tip was too serious and credible to ignore. But rather than assign it to another prosecutor, Mr. Barr had Mr. Durham investigate the matter himself." https://www.rawstory.com/bill-barr-2659315495/
Not surprisingly, nothing became of it! All covered up, âfixedâ and forgotten. âMr. Durham never filed charges, and it remains unclear what level of an investigation it was, what steps he took, what he learned and whether anyone at the White House ever found out. The extraordinary fact that Mr. Durham opened a criminal investigation that included scrutinizing Mr. Trump has remained secret.â https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/bombshell-nyt-report-reveals-bill-barrs-special-counsel-opened-secret-financial-crimes-probe-into-trump/ar-AA16LRVt
Durham abuse of power:
Comment: âDurham leaked that he opened a criminal investigation, leading both Fox and actual reporters to suggest there were criminal acts by the Obama administration since he conveniently left out that it was actually Trump he was looking at.â Covering up that evidence of a crime should put Barr and Durham in jail⌠along with tRUMP. All abused their power, were both criminal and traitorous and need to be prosecuted. https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2023/1/26/2149434/-A-look-inside-John-Durham-s-investigation-reveals-abuse-of-power-in-an-effort-to-twist-the-facts#comment_85469398
Decoding the âSelect Subcommittee on Weaponization of the Federal Governmentâ headed by Rep. Jim Jordan is a sham, hypocrisy and irony. ââŚit is a smokescreen to protect those who actually weaponized the government. Those trying to keep the public informed have to say that, very clearly, every time this subcommittee does anything. Only then can we combat the real weaponization of government against our democratic system.â This story identifies why it was formed⌠and why it is so ironic and dangerous as it will be used by Fox et al to gaslight Americans even further. https://www.justsecurity.org/84869/decoding-the-select-subcommittee-on-weaponization-of-the-federal-government/
UPDATE #6
Like Pompeo, Barr is a lying, scheming Christo-fascist POS giving lectures telling people how to be better and more moral/religious Catholics... I have to laugh that the DOJ site has, as "Justice News," a speech Barr made to the Law School and the de Nicola Center for Ethics and Culture at the University of Notre Dame. Use your page search for religion (25) and religious (38). It is shocking... https://www.justice.gov/opa/speech/attorney-general-william-p-barr-delivers-remarks-law-school-and-de-nicola-center-ethics A tiny reminder of just a few of the lies...
Mueller team members say evidence they gathered on obstruction was alarming and significant, âmuch more acute than Barr suggested.â And that the report summaries they had prepared were to be made public. The report was prepared âso that the front matter from each section could have been released immediately â or very quickly,â the official said. âIt was done in a way that minimum redactions, if any, would have been necessary, and the work would have spoken for itself.â https://wapo.st/2UcEBZv VIDEO: REPORTER to BARR: Is it an impropriety for you to come out and sort of spin the report before people are able to read it? BARR: No. *walks away* https://twitter.com/atrupar/status/1118877931764355072 VIDEO Barrâs Senate hearing on May 01, 2019: Barr is defending tRUMP and himself on the question of tRUMP asking his WH Lawyer McGahn to fire Robert Mueller by putting words in tRUMPâs mouth. He says tRUMP would have hired a new council? And says he would have fired Mueller for a conflict, but canât discern what that conflict might be. What a joke. https://twitter.com/atrupar/status/1123603095634755584 IMPORTANT QUESTION~ VIDEO Barrâs Senate hearing on May 01, 2019: LEAHY: âWhy did you testify on April 9 that you didn't know about the concerns of Mueller's team, when he had directly informed you of them?â Barrâs non answer was also misleading and did not answer⌠https://twitter.com/atrupar/status/1123606907686739968 VIDEO Barrâs Senate hearing on May 01, 2019: Senator Whitehouse continues the questioning of Barr not disclosing the letter from Mueller he received March 27th from Mueller in his April testimony before Congress from a question by Rep. Crist and also Van Hollen. https://twitter.com/atrupar/status/1123614351775158273 VIDEO: April 10. Barr lying in April to Congress. Muellerâs Letter was sent 2 weeks prior. Q by Rep VAN HOLLEN: Did Bob Mueller support your conclusion? BARR: I don't know whether Bob Mueller supported my conclusion.https://twitter.com/kylegriffin1/status/1123382794103721984 VIDEO Barrâs Senate hearing on May 01, 2019: Senator Klobuchar reviews the obstruction evidence and Barr protects tRUMP rather than admit it is all obvious obstruction of justice. https://twitter.com/atrupar/status/1123637486784323585 Important info VIDEO Barrâs Senate hearing on May 01, 2019: Senator Kamala Harris asks pertinent questions about the evidence and the AGâs responsibility to review it in making determinations.

Former Fed. prosecutor Glenn Kirschner discusses this ruling. He puts the reports into layman's terms in a recap. I especially enjoyed the ending of this segment.

UPDATE #4
There is a reason no one did anything about LOSER45*.
Knowing that tRUMP installed Kash Patel and Solomon to the National Archives when a subpoena went out to tRUMP to compel him to preserve and return documents is an action that should have sent the DHS scurrying to stop them. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/08/15/trump-fbi-search-solomon-patel/
Nunes lackey Kashyap Patel. who was implicated in the investigation of tRUMPâs Ukraine fiasco, and âwho helmed efforts to push back against the FBI's Trump-Russia investigation, began working in the ODNI ...â The OFFICE of the DIRECTOR of NATIONAL INTELLIGENCE (ODNI) major mission areas: counterterrorism, cybersecurity, counterproliferation and counterintelligence. https://www.thedailybeast.com/russia-is-helping-elect-trump-again-intel-official-says
2019 âEngel has kept a low profile in his role at the Office of Legal Counsel. He served on the Trump campaign transition team and is known to be a close friend of the supreme court justice Brett Kavanaugh.â https://t.co/bueg7lSqKZ
*2020 Conflicts of interest are a job requirement in Trumpâs White House; a Shameful and long List: https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2020/2/15/1919503/-tRUMP-Hires-the-Antithesis-of-What-is-Needed-to-Fill-His-F-TEAM-a-Shameful-List
2020 "Trump just installed his own deep state at the Pentagon. What is it up to?" Kash Patel was them installed in the National Archives to find and what ? Hide? Destroy? any evidence of tRUMP crimes and Russia connections. https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2020/11/13/deep-state-putsch-pentagon-trump/
2022 "He [tRUMP] placed loyalists in powerful posts atop the intelligence community and the Pentagon, seeking to rifle through their top-secret files in search of evidence that the âdeep stateâ spied on his 2016 campaign, then framed him for his dealings with Russia and Ukraine, acts for which he was investigated and impeached." https://www.nytimes.com/2022/08/19/opinion/trump-mar-a-lago-records.html?smid=url-share
If Americans do not care that this happened, and choose to ignore and "forget," you get the future you deserve. That is not a threat. It is reality.
UPDATE #3 The Hill and Barr's PR team are trying to exonerate barr's complicity in this ; please do not let them.
Barr is no stranger to protecting the guilty! He made sure Bush pardoned 6 guilty people in the Reagan Iran Contra affair. (Also called a witch-hunt)
Mueller was also Barr's #2 and was a lackey for Barr, so his cowering under Barr's thumb was also a repeat performance.
UPDATE #2
And for anyone lionizing Garland, take a moment to read this and realize he was giving tRUMP an out by deferring to the Barr menu ... literally REMINDING him to run if he did not want to be indicted FFS...

UPDATE #1
A reminder of the culprits involved:
Rosenstein lied about who was doing what, so that all that was done was paper pushing and thumb sitting until the issuance of the report. Meanwhile it was all out of his hands ... tRUMP was protected, and he resigned with a "legacy" intact that he is polishing whenever he surfaces from the gutter...
This is what WE saw...and were placated by. Mueller Gov. website for Special Investigation: https://www.justice.gov/sc The letter to Mueller outlining his mandate in special investigation: In a letter formalizing the appointment, *Rosenstein said Mueller was authorized to oversee the entire Russia investigation, including âany links and/or coordination between the Russian government and individuals associated with the campaign of President Donald Trumpâ and âany matters that arose or may arise directly from the investigation.â* http://www.documentcloud.org/documents/3726408-Rosenstein-letter-appointing-Mueller-special.htm This is what really happened... In 2017 Rosenstein briefed Mueller to not go to the destination he said he should go in HIS LETTER we all read above. Rod Rosenstein took secret steps to narrow Mueller's investigation, ensuring Trump's Russia ties were never looked at, so no WONDER tRUMP kept him around so long⌠"Rosenstein concluded the F.B.I. lacked sufficient reason to conduct an investigation into the presidentâs links to a foreign adversary." And more! "Within days, the former deputy attorney general Rod J. Rosenstein curtailed the investigation without telling the bureau, all but ensuring it would go nowhere." https://t.co/67m7IOsB40?amp= Then Trump named Matthew Whitaker as Acting Attorney General, and Whitaker took over oversight of Mueller's investigation until Barr was confirmation as AG. Rosenstein was a ratf*cker POS snipe. https://www.newyorker.com/news/daily-comment/rod-rosensteins-strange-letter-of-thanks-to-donald-trump Also...

Awesome news. We need a bigger DOJ with a new division for just the prior administration.
