You know, I just can’t even get bent out of shape at this piece of news, and it’s not from exhaustion or defeat, but rather, NOPE, this whole story of criminal sex trafficking is too fkn big to tamp down.

People will inch by inch wake up to the reality of youngsters being raped and swapped and traded like baseball cards, and they’re not gonna give a fuck what this Barr character has to say,

Julie K. Brown, the Miami Herald, and people like Geoffrey Berman and his team are going to make sure this “story” stays on the front page, so you do you, Barr, you have made yourself irrelevant now, adios and fuck right off.

a cover up is happening in real time. Barr's family had a association with the Bear Stearns operation. Barr will be Impeached and Mitch McConnell will cover his ass.
