Ball of Thread: The Mueller Investigation
LOLGOP had already started the (probably two) posts on how Bill Barr bolloxed the Mueller Report when we realized we hadn’t actually done the report itself! So here’s my take, in readily accessible format.
The Patreon site has a rough transcript; remember: subscribing to that is separate from my own Patreon, but we’re also releasing bonus episodes.
I am continuously stunned by you. Thank you for all that you do.
About halfway through. Incredibly detailed, and it pulls together a lot of the previous postings in a chronological way, which I find uniquely valuable (addicted as I am to narratives). So great. Thank you.
Thank you for clearly connecting the dots.
Bless you, Marcy! Great production (and analysis). Speaking of Transnational Crime Syndicates, did you catch Alito’s connection to Gloria Thurn und Taxis (also connected to Steve Bannon), which was recently revealed?

In a way, it all falls on Bill Barr.
In another way, without Barr they might all have fallen.
We absolutely must remember Bill Barr for that! We absolutely cannot forget his role in events. Trump, all things, yes, he’s there. But Bill Barr, even more the actor in chief for how things ultimately ended. Two hundred years from now who’ll know the difference? If it ends like that, the effort of unlocking detail should be its own reward.
I foresee a special set of Bill Barr dominoes going for a record-breaking domino-toppling event with one final, extra large domino knocking Bill himself into a tank of gunk.
Well, that was Saturday morning TV in my day ;-)
Thank you, Marcy. This is fascinating.
(The whiteboard in my office is a MESS now!)
Thanks for illustrating some of the details of this filthy gordian knot.
Hopefully Kamala can simply cut it…for the good of the Country and the World.
2020: Hindsight is Foresight
Once upon a time,
far far away,
where the only crime
was having feet of clay,
I wonder if we’ll find
the ones who wouldn’t say
they were inside a bind
until they looked away.
Who were those misanthropes
who monetized those souls,
the thieves who demolished hopes
through their petty power goals?
First there were the slippery slopes
and then there were the holes,
then there were the envelopes
full of polling passed to moles.
And His Heinous DJT,
was he royally inclined,
Did TIH shake Kuwaitis
while he was never fined?
Net ‘n’ yahoos that Israeli
cyber mercenaries mined,
Did they meme some shady baileys
that twisted humankind?
WikiLeaks and GRU,
Guccifer and Stone:
Sickly freaks; and we argue
like Lucifer and crones.
Quickly speak, charge and sue,
Representatives alone:
Inquiry harms the few,
But sets the nation’s tone.
(Nov or Dec 2019?)
Thanks for explaining all of this in such a clear and thorough manner. This particular video has really helped me understand how so many (apparently disparate) things are tied together, which is apparently your reason for doing the Ball of Thread. It truly is a service to our country.
One thing that really struck me (because I hadn’t made the connections) was Bill Barr’s explanation for declining charges after the Mueller investigation. He seemed to be channeling Roy Cohn by explaining that there’s a chance that Trump’s behavior did not rise to the level of a crime so there’s no reason to look any farther- plausible deniability as a prosecutorial strategy.
