This morning I took out after sundance at CTH for his repeated, absurd--and rather hysterical--smears against AG Bill Barr. It's sad because, as I've noted, CTH has performed signal service to the conservative cause. It's especially absurd because sundance's latest hysterical outburst against Barr comes on the heels of huge Russia Hoax related revelations from Paul Sperry and John Solomon that could only have been written with the help of sources familiar with work being done by both IG Horowitz and USA Durham--under the supervision of Bill Barr.
What follows is, IMO, an excellent example of CTH's work at its best--although not unmixedly so. I'm lifting it from CTH's coverage of Louis Gohmert's grilling of Mueller today, which focused on Mueller's May 17, 2017, Oval Office meeting with Trump. I will add one caution, which is an example of why CTH's work has to be read with a critical eye for detail. The statement sundance makes: "Mueller was ineligible for the position of FBI Director" is not correct. In point of fact Mueller could have been reappointed as FBI Director--if the Senate had approved that move. Nor would this have been unprecedented. Mueller himself is an example of how that would work:
In May 2011, President Barack Obama asked Mueller to continue at the helm of the FBI for two additional years beyond his normal 10-year term, which would have expired on September 4, 2011. The Senate approved this request 100–0 on July 27, 2011.
So, with that caveat, here's an excellent and important timeline of events from Comey's firing to Mueller's appointment. The aspect of this that I find so important is that it highlights the role in the Russia Hoax and the subsequent Mueller inquisition of Rod Rosenstein. To forestall any criticism, I will state: If there is no public accounting for the role that Rosenstein played, then Barr's work will be incomplete. So, omitting links and doing my own formatting:
