While much speculation inside the Beltway says U.S. Attorney John Durham will punt the results of his so-called Spygate investigation past the election to avoid charges of political interference, sources who have worked with Durham on past public corruption cases doubt he'll bend to political pressure — and they expect him to drop bombshells before Labor Day.

Durham’s boss, Attorney General Bill Barr, also pushed back on the notion his hand-picked investigator would defer action. Under Democratic questioning on Capitol Hill last week, he refused to rule out a pre-election release.
"Under oath, do you commit to not releasing any report by Mr. Durham before the November election?” Rep. Debbie Mucarsel-Powell (D-Fla.) asked Barr, citing longstanding Justice Department policy not to announce new developments in politically sensitive cases before an election.
“No,” the attorney general curtly replied.
Justice Department policy prohibits prosecutors from taking overt steps in politically charged cases typically within 60 days of an election. Accordingly, Durham would have to make a move by the Friday before Labor Day, or Sept. 4.

The Justice Department's so-called 60-day rule, which prohibits prosecutors from taking overt steps in politically charged cases within 60 days of an election, has its origins in the George W. Bush administration and has been invoked by attorneys general in election years since.
President Trump's Attorney General, William Barr, is under pressure to follow it this year, meaning official revelations or conclusions from the so-called Spygate probe by U.S. Attorney John Durham would have to be made public by the Friday before Labor Day, or Sept. 4., or wait until after the election.
But the “60-day rule” is a bit of a misnomer, because there is no written deadline. "Nevertheless, the department has a longstanding unwritten practice to avoid overt law enforcement and prosecutorial activities close to an election, typically within 60 or 90 days of Election Day,” the Justice Department’s inspector general, Michael Horowitz, said in a 2018 review of the policy.

BumpI'm willing to bet a pretty penny that the overwhelming majority of Qnuts don't have a college degree and work a job that requires very little cognitive thought. To blindly follow a guy who's probably Guccifer 2.0 on the internet and think that Donald Trump (someone who's molested and raped dozens of women, some of which were underage) is going to be the savior of everything and expose systematic pedophilia in the elite circles is beyond laughable. It's easy to see why they get roped in, this is their only outlet where they get to feel smart.
I have to read the E.O. For specifics but this is my take. If pharmaceutical companies sell to any other country, they are required to offer the same price in the US. Im betting pharma will raise other counties prices to level and keep profits. Pharma has 2 choices, sell only in America and price high or price level with other countries. As long as Medicare is involved in price negotiations for drug pricing, the federal gov can intervene with big pharma. JMO, but I have some reading to do.You're on the inside. What exactly does this mean for Average Joe? Will he really be able to buy prescriptions at the Canadian rate or close to it in the near future?
Depends on the degree. Sometimes I wish I had gone into skilled trades or chose a different degree, but mine has paid for itself multiple times over the years.I had a great time, too. I still think the college degree is overrated. i would have gotten a whole lot more out of 4 years actually working. Wouldn’t have been near as much fun, though.
Frat parties!!! Ball state, Perdue, Notre Dame... Yay!!! Funny part was I didn't get my degree from any of those schools. Other people's colleges are just as fun.I had a great time, too.

With a 4 year engineering degree I learned a lot. Forgot most, but the problem solving and methods were key. Hard to imagine picking that up via OJTIt only pays for itself because employers have been trained to require a college degree.
I got a graduate degree where I actually learned things. Did not need much of anything from undergrad except for the advanced mathematics.

I‘m not sure my degree would be worth it @ 2020 tuition cost.I did a STEM degree along with mathematics. Agree I learned a lot about problem solving. Still 65+ % of the college requirements are a waste of time. People should come out of high school having learned most of it. It’s why jist about anyone can go to college these days .
