Barr calls Trump indictment 'tip of the iceberg' in Jack Smith's case

Former Attorney General Bill Barr called former President Trump’s Jan. 6 indictment the “tip of the iceberg,” arguing that special counsel Jack Smith and the Justice Department (DOJ) have “a lot more” evidence to come on Trump’s state of mind.

“The government, in their indictment, takes the position that [Trump] had actual knowledge that he had lost the election and the election wasn’t stolen through fraud,” Barr told CNN’s Kaitlan Collins on Wednesday night. “And they’re going to have to prove that beyond a reasonable doubt, which is a high bar of course. … Now that leads me to believe that we’re only seeing the tip of the iceberg on this.”

When asked if he thinks Smith has more in connection with the indictment, he said he believes DOJ has “a lot more.”

“And that’s one of the things that impressed me about the indictment,” he continued. “It was very spare, and there were a lot of things he could have said in there and I think there’s a lot more to come and I think they have a lot more evidence as to President Trump’s state of mind.”

The polarizing MAGA supporter told Dailymail.com in a phone interview that MyPillow made $110 million a year in gross sales prior to being cancelled but now makes only about $5 million - a whopping 95% drop.

Products marketed directly to gullible people

https://financequickfix.com/11-products-that-only-gullible-people-would-pay-for/


Sorry, I was in the middle of posting this and got distracted. Somehow I hit the Post button. Just now back on DU

Here is what I intended to add:

Have you ever stopped in your tracks and asked yourself, “Who would buy a product like this?” You’re not the only one. Some products are overpriced and overrated even though they make no sense to the rest of us.

Do you have some products in mind that only gullible people would be willing to pay for? Check out this list.

#%!? declared ‘food for all’ in post-arrest stop at Miami cafe – but reportedly skipped bill

Alex Wagner shares reporting from the Miami New Times that despite promising out loud, on camera, "food for everyone," Donald Trump did not stick around at a restaurant campaign stop long enough for anyone to get food, illustrating a trait that is also getting in the way of Trump's ability to obtain legal counsel. Joyce Vance, former U.S. attorney, explains why this is a bad time in a bad case for Trump to have lawyer problems.

So I recently changed jobs, now a former coworker is stalking me

At 64 I changed jobs, in part, because the place I was working had become a toxic situation.
So I started looking and found a better paying job, a new adventure and a better environment.

Funny thing happened, the very person who was the biggest pain in the a$$ and big part of why I moved on now checks my LinkedIn profile every 3 hours.

I posted my change on there, don’t know what he is looking for. Must be separation anxiety.

I don’t know if I should appreciate the attention or fear for my life. When I left, I took a huge bank of knowledge with me, something the company took for granted until I turned in my notice.
