Not just that. I know we've joked about books like "Mom, there are Liberals Under my Bed!" (yes, that's an actual children's book, go look it up), but the sheer number of children's books about how awesome and righteous and wholesome and great Donald Trump is is just sky rocketing. https://www.amazon.com/Donald-Drains.../dp/1621579387
I thought these books were satire, but then when I read the reviews it's shit like "Great read! Exposes the liberal deep government for what it is and accurately portrays our hero Trump in a fun and simple way for children!" in non ironic fashion.
My one concession is that in about a decade, most people who have been staying in the Trump administration, gathering information and writing down tales of their time within the administration will have all been exposed, and the history books will paint a picture of Donald Trump as the most corrupt president in American history, and the dumbest wannabe dictator as well. All of these kids who grew up with their parents reading bedtime stories about super hero Donald Trump to them will have to face the reality that their parents were just forcing propaganda on them at a really young age, or drop out of school, because apparently school is a tool used by the liberal deep state to enslave the minds of America's children.

So, apparently (and this will surprise no one) Parnas's claim that Giuliani got him swept up in Yovanovitch's ouster in order to secure dirt on Biden from Lutsenko and Shokin doesn't match the timeline, which is to say, Parnas and Fruman were pushing for her to be fired even before Giuliani joined Trump and before there was any focus on Biden. Let's keep in mind, these guys are connected to Firtash, the Ukrainian oligarch with Russian mob ties who fled to Austria and is trying to avoid extradition. I've mentioned before that this whole thing started with Giuliani trying to discredit the Mueller report and get Manafort off the hook and they just stumbled into the Biden stuff (someone on this board, can't remember who, hilariously said something like, "Wait so they just stumbled into getting impeached? Perfect.") In any case, yes, he's sketch as hell and just as full of shit as everyone suspects. And we still don't know why, or who he was really working for (his wife got that 1 million dollar "loan" from Firtash's lawyer), or why they really wanted Yovanovitch out, or what they've actually been up to, then, or now.

Barr was in at least one additional meeting with Giuliani that was not previously disclosed.
He had already been briefed by the DoJ about the Manhattan investigation into Parnas and Fruman, who were connected to Giuliani.
Interesting note
This sure adds evidence to Parnas' claims that Barr knows more than he's admitted to so far.The September meeting, led by attorneys from the Justice Department's fraud section, was unremarkable, and sit-downs of the kind are a common practice in high-stakes investigations. What's unusual is for the attorney general to be involved. High-profile attorneys often demand meetings to make their case with top Justice officials, and usually have to settle for prosecutors much lower in the chain of command, if they get a meeting at all.
So the lawyer for Devin Nunes was threatening to sue Rep Ted Lieu. Here is part of the letter, and then there is Lieu's response:

This trial is going to be an absolute circus and while will be likely vastly entertaining it will also be scary and sad that this is where we are in the US. It is surreal how Starr is one of the lawyers given his past history of investigating Whitewater/Vince Foster and his involvement in the investigation of Clinton's affair which led to his impeachment. All of this sounds like a shitty soap opera and not reality but no this is literally where the United States is right now.
He did sue a twitter cow, so yeah.
And it seems every article on the subject is obliged to mention Nunes is a co-sponsor of the "Discouraging Frivolous Lawsuits Act" because of course he is.

Maybe there is an end game here that we aren't aware of.

I got bored (and was a little drunk) and went to the thedonald subreddit last night and saw so many posts about Pelosi. She is definitely trolling Trump along with all his supporters.

Another dump from Lev Parnas texts, this time with top Devin Nunes aide Derek Harvey.
I haven't had time to dig through them yet, but I'm sure seeing John Solomon's name pop up a lot in the first few pages alone.

They are. But he's in a pretty safe Republican district and Republicans don't seem to have much concern for ethical violations.
I have two words: Duncan Hunter.
Well, Ted Lieu actually went to MSNBC on the Hardball show and said Nunes should be removed. That based on the evidence, Nunes did conspire with Parnas and again said that he responded to the lawyer by telling him to take that letter and shove it. I love that for once, the Democrats aren't playing nice anymore.
