''William Barr and Spygate – Watch The Teams…''

With the introduction of a fully empowered and confirmed U.S. Attorney General there is likely to be a great deal of speculation about how AG Barr will interact with the seditious conspiracy scandal known collectively as ‘spygate’.
No doubt the tick-tock-boom club will sell more books with declarations of soon to be announced indictments, grand juries, etc. However, as with all political horse trading in DC, the reality of accountability usually falls far away from headline predictions.
Attorney General Barr will be navigating a myriad of high-powered political interests through his office at the Justice Department.
If we presume William Barr is not intending to cover-up for the gross misconduct of the DOJ and FBI, which is a considerable presumption, it will be worth watching how the two camps, Team Obama and Team Clinton, react to the shifted DOJ landscape.

♦ Team Obama consists of: John Brennan, Susan Rice, James Clapper, James Comey, James Rybicki, Loretta Lynch, John Carlin, Samantha Power and all former White House officials.
♦ Team Clinton consists of: ¹Andrew McCabe, ¹Sally Yates, ¹James Baker, ²Mary McCord, ¹Dana Boente, ²David Laufmann, ¹Mike Kortan, ¹Peter Strzok, ¹Lisa Page, ¹Nellie Ohr, ¹Bruce Ohr, ²John Podesta and essentially all of the former DOJ/FBI small group who are also currently operating within the ³Mueller operation and ³Lawfare (Benjamin Wittes) community.
NOTE: Team Clinton has three sub-sets: ¹direct involvement; ²indirect involvement; and ³cover-up.
Each team has unique interests and exposure to the former operations against candidate Donald Trump. Team Obama was more of an assisting co-conspiracy role; and Team Clinton was more of a direct conspiracy/involvement role. Team Clinton has direct legal exposure. Team Obama has indirect legal exposure.
If there is any actual substantive investigation initiated by William Barr:
Generally speaking Team Obama should be anticipated to remain silent, except for those members who now hold media pundit/analyst positions.
Generally speaking Team Clinton will be the most visible as their exposure means they have a need to shape the narrative. [ex. Andrew McCabe]
The media supports both teams; however, if they were forced to chose the media would be far more supportive of team Obama.
If there is an inflection point (big “if”), it will likely come as an outcome of someone (McCabe is most exposed) breaking the code of Omerta from Team Clinton and attempting to implicate someone from Team Obama. In that situation U.S. media will defend team Obama and leave team Clinton at risk.
If the “Spygate” fiasco explodes (TBD), it will be team Clinton’s people who will be exposed in the collateral damage. Team Obama will escape with the help of the media and a more favorable DC alliance willing to protect them. Everyone on Team Clinton knows this.
However, all of that said, it would be remarkable if any of the participating members were actually exposed to legal jeopardy. A far more likely outcome is some backroom deal where both teams agree to being criticized, perhaps publicly – perhaps by the Inspector General, but no-one faces legal exposure….
Speaker Nancy Pelosi is then instructed to ditch the impeachment narrative, Mueller gives an unsatisfying report to Barr, and everyone heads into 2020.

Hillary Clinton, John McCain, Colin Powell Cross Political Divide for ‘Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom’

Why hold a Washington, D.C. screening for your new film at any local theater when you can book the Kennedy Center? The question was clearly a no-brainer for producer and noted political fundraiser Harvey Weinstein concerning his company’s new release, “Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom.”
Two weeks after an intimate White House unspooling of the biopic for President Obama and First Lady Michelle, Weinstein filled the center’s Eisenhower Theater with invited guests Nov. 20. On hand for the occasion were three of the capital’s most prominent figures – Hillary Clinton, Sen. John McCain and Gen. Colin Powell.
Other participants included host Weinstein, “Mandela” director Justin Chadwick, actress Naomie Harris and (via video tape) actor Idris Elba.
Clinton spoke of her 19-year friendship with the South African statesman in her roles as First Lady, U.S. Senator and Secretary of State. “There is so much to admire and learn from Mandela’s life,” she said. “He was so committed to the cause of freedom that he took that long walk and paid a price,” she intoned.
Clinton reminisced about attending Mandela’s inauguration, and accompanying him on two trips to Robben Island to visit the prison cell where he spent 18 of his 27 years behind bars.
Powell said he would never forget the moment during Mandela’s inauguration when the new leader stepped forward to address cheering crowds and invited guests that included several of the Robben Island jailers who guarded him during his incarceration. “Mandela continues to inspire people around the world by his service to a greater cause,” said Powell.
Sen. McCain, the former Vietnam P.O.W. in the infamous “Hanoi Hilton,” said, “History offers few examples of people who sacrificed more for a cause greater than their self-interest than Nelson Mandela.”
McCain said of Mandela’s many exceptional qualities, he is most impressed by his demonstrated capacity for forgiveness. “Imprisoned unjustly for 27 years, he bore no hatred for those who took away his freedom. He didn’t demand retribution for the years stolen from him and others. He simply went about building a better country from the ashes of its tortured past.”
Also in attendance were emcee and CNN political commentator Paul Begala, Rep. Chaka Fattah, Rep. Barbara Lee, Ambassador Mula Mula of Tanzania, former NBA great Dikembe Mutombo, and Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack.
