Being a pompous fuck isn't so bad, especially if you have reason to know you're intellectually superior to some numb-nuts on a message board.
Being a stupid fuck is bad, since there's no way to fix stupid.
Right, Cricket?
Cricket responds: Huh? Duh?
:lol:
Crickets usually have a positive impact on their environment. Crickets enrich the soil as they eat decaying matter and digest their food. Species of cockroach spread disease throughout peoples' homes because of the contaminated places they tend to inhabit and the bacteria they carry.
YOU are the cockroach. Maybe a Dung Beetle.:142smilie

DOJ determines that the Mueller Investigation was totally justified.
For those keeping score at home, you may want to take note of which party authorized the investigation, did the investigating and audited the investigation.........and found it all justified. Hint, it's not the Democrats.

Did you read the whole article or just the headline?
Barr, in a statement reacting to the report's release, stated that he believed the evidence compiled by Horowitz showed that the FBI "launched an intrusive investigation of a U.S. presidential campaign on the thinnest of suspicions that, in my view, were insufficient to justify the steps taken."

"It is also clear that, from its inception, the evidence produced by the investigation was consistently exculpatory," Barr said. "Nevertheless, the investigation and surveillance was pushed forward for the duration of the campaign and deep into President Trump's administration."
In a follow-up statement, Barr noted that he was "grateful" to the foreign government that had initially provided the FBI with the information on Papadopoulos -- while noting, "what was subsequently done with that information by the FBI presents a separate question."
U.S. Attorney John H. Durham too responded in a statement that "we do not agree with some of the report's conclusions as to predication and how the FBI case was opened." He added that "our investigation is not limited to developing information from within component parts of the Justice Department" and also included "developing information from other persons and entities, both in the U.S. and outside of the U.S."
Horowitz also determined that the controversial "dossier" authored by former British spy Christopher Steele was not relied upon in opening the investigation.
According to the report, Horowitz found that DOJ had an authorized purpose in investigating whether there was a crime, and noted the "low threshold" for opening such an investigation. He also noted that while former FBI lawyer Peter Strzok was involved in the decision to open the investigation, the actual authorization came from his supervisor Bill Priestap, the former assistant director of the FBI's counterintelligence division.
"
However, Horowitz in his year-and-a-half long investigation uncovered "serious performance failures" on the part of agents involved in the FISA applications for surveillance of former Trump campaign aide Carter Page, according to the report.
)
While Horowitz found no evidence of political bias or improper motivation for the FISA applications for Page, he documented what he described as serious errors and omissions that "made it appear that the information supporting probable cause was stronger than was actually the case."
The IG documented a total of "seven significant inaccuracies and omissions" in the initial FISA application for surveillance on Page, and "10 additional significant errors in the three renewal applications," and said none of the issues were brought to the attention of the Office of Intelligence until the final application was filed in June 2017.
According to the report, the FBI failed to reassess the reliability of Steele's reporting while relying heavily on the material for FISA applications despite obtaining information that raised significant questions about it. However, the IG noted that just because the FBI believed Steele had been hired by Democrat-tied firm Fusion GPS to conduct political opposition research did not require the agency "under either DOJ or FBI policy, to ignore his reporting."
Horowitz said the errors "raised significant questions regarding the FBI chain of command's management and supervision of the FISA process."

I read the whole thing and I know better than to take anything Barr says seriously. He's as trustworthy as Trump.
So..........cherry pick what you want us to believe is relevant. Crock of Schiff.
An investigation takes place and concludes the Mueller Report was justified......but you want me to believe Trump's lackey who says otherwise? Who's picking and choosing again?
He lied to the American people about the Mueller Report findings and Robert Mueller actually came out and said he misrepresented his report in public statements. He also lied to Congress.
How's that?
:mj07:
So Mueller cleared things up then during the hearings? I dunno, I missed them:shrug:
