Barr Plays It Cool
The AG said that Durham's investigation is unlikely to include Obama and Biden.

Those with an abiding respect for Rule of Law may have been discouraged by news yesterday that U.S. Attorney John Durham’s investigation of the investigators of the Russia-collusion hoax is unlikely to end in the cuffing and stuffing of Barack Obama and Joe Biden — despite Obama’s fingerprints being all over the coup crime scene.

Sometimes, though, a few choice words can do more lasting damage than a frog march: “This cannot be, and it will not be, a tit-for-tat exercise,” said Attorney General William Barr. “We are not going to lower the standards just to achieve a result.”

Let’s think about those two sentences for a moment. Both imply wrongdoing, and both imply an unwillingness by Barr to stoop to the level of those wrongdoers. But neither signals any sort of capitulation. Far from it. Barr, as is his penchant, is playing it cool, refusing to get out over his skis. Instead, he’s allowing a seasoned and highly regarded U.S. attorney to quietly gather the facts and do his job. And if doing his job requires that he first focus a few levels down from Obama and Biden, where bad actors like Peter Strzok and Kevin Clinesmith were operating, then so be it.

“I’m a little surprised by that statement,” said President Donald Trump yesterday. But this, too, is a good thing. If our nation’s attorney general is seen as little more than the president’s toadie, then his credibility will be greatly diminished — and so will be the findings of the investigation he launched. Here, the contrast between Barr, a by-the-book lawyer who first served as attorney general under George H.W. Bush, and Obama’s first attorney general, Eric Holder, couldn’t be starker. “I’m still the president’s wing-man,” said Holder in 2013, “so I’m there with my boy.”

The moment a nation’s attorney general claims to be “there with my boy” the president is the moment a Department of Justice has lost its way.

But there is something on which AG Barr and President Trump agree wholeheartedly, and it should give encouragement to every citizen who respects the law and wants to see justice done in this case. The mainstream media ignored it, of course, but former DOJ attorney Andrew McCarthy captured it in National Review:

What happened to the president in the 2016 election, and throughout the first two years of his administration, was … a grave injustice and it was unprecedented in American history. … We saw two different standards of justice emerge, one that applied to President Trump and his associates, and the other that applied to everybody else. We can’t allow this ever to happen again [emphasis added].
If that last sentence sounds familiar, it’s because President Trump has been saying the exact same thing for months now. And if our mercurial president and his cool-as-the-other-side-of-the-pillow attorney general can agree on only one thing, let it be this.



OSU Sig has a good grasp of how the game is being played. Game Theory is what we are seeing being applied but because many don't understand the Game they revert back to what they understood years back. We are no longer in the "years back" scenario any more and you cannot reason it out with those past tactics. Thinking with our emotions is what has gotten into this mess in the first place.
Here's an explanation of Game Theory. Understand this, Game Theory is what the Military uses.


Within Game Theory, there are also two components that vastly change the optics and potential outcomes of an operation, utilizing a "repeating" game theory.
These outcomes are defined by whether each player is playing on an Infinite or Finite scale.

Many times, players will be utilizing different strategies, where one is playing an 'infinite game', while the other a 'finite game'.
There is an exponential difference between these strategies.

Finite game: known players, fixed rules, finite objective (to win). Example: a football game.

Infinite game: known and unknown players, the rules are changeable, and the only objective is to perpetuate the game.
When you put a finite vs. finite player, the system is stable.

Football is stable, and so is conventional war.
When you have an Infinite vs. Infinite player, the system is also stable.

In an Infinite game, there are no winners or losers, and you cannot lose the game; so you work to keep the game going.
In an Infinite game, because there are no winners or losers, the only thing a player can do is drop out of the game, once they have run out of resources, or the will to continue playing.
Problems arise though, when you put a finite player vs. infinite player.

The finite player gets caught in a predicament. The finite player wants only to win, while the infinite player knows winning is done in the long term vision, the Infinite game.
This frustrates finite players, causing them to expend resources or lose the will to continue, thus solidifying the win to the Infinite player regardless.

Infinite games require devising tactical strategies that are flexible, can be changed at any time, all while maintaining a socially optimal equilibrium.
During the Cold War, the US made arguably one of the biggest strategical errors in Game Theory, when they announced they had won.

They believed they had 'won the Cold War'. But they hadn't. The other player dropped out, because they had run out of will or the resources to play.
The problem was, because the US thought they had won the war, they started acting like victors!

And so, as what will happen within all infinite games, new players began to emerge.
We've seen this currently as well. We've heard President Trump say numerous times, he "didn't realize the swamp was this deep!"

New players emerged, as others ran out of resources or the will to keep playing.
The easiest way to understand the game you're in, is when you have an opposing force; where you can easily see whether you're playing by the same set of rules or not.
For example, we can easily look to the tactics of the DS and mainstream media and clearly see, that they are playing by a different set of rules than we are. We are 'not them', and they 'are not us'.
It comes down to: how do we make decisions, and what actions will we take from those decisions.

"For every action, there is an opposite and equal reaction."
When we make decisions based on our values: freedom, life, liberty, justice; we are using an Infinite mindset and strategy.

But on the flip side, when we make decisions based solely on our interests: wanting to win or be 'right'; we are using a finite mindset and strategy.
For example: Think about all the decisions you make in your daily life, that don't necessarily serve your 'interests' at the moment, but is based on the VALUES, and ethics you hold.

We use Game Theory everywhere, in all of our decision making.
Problems that arise within Game Theory become especially meaningful when people utilize finite strategies, not realizing they're playing an Infinite game.
When this happens, not only does it confuse our allies because they don't have any idea of what we stand for anymore, but it also comes across as 'unpredictable', making our allies trust us less. It also allows the enemy to exploit our strategy.
Ideally, we want to run all of our decisions through our value system first. While it may not always go our way, and it may not always be in our immediate interests, it makes us predictable.
It makes our allies trust us, where they will either stand with us or against us, and together we will go through the Infinite game, for as long as it takes.
We cannot help to contribute to stabilize this until we begin to play the game we're actually in, rather than utilizing strategies of a game we're not in.

We must realize, we are in an Infinite game!
What we have witnessed play out, are players within Game Theory utilizing differing strategies.

The Deep State is playing a finite game, where there is an END. They want to win, regardless of the cost or lives lost, and they are making decisions based on their interests only.
President Trump and the Patriots are playing an Infinite game.

One in which, the game (world) keeps going! One where justice can be served, while saving the most lives possible, and maintaining social equilibrium.
Patriots are executing an Infinite strategy, where we gain allies and build trust, through predictable value systems. An Infinite game of mass future proportions and possibilities.




But the end won't be for everyone.

Yep. They hate Trump so badly they’ll do everything in their power to prosecute him after he leaves office! 😡

The wheels of justice never move quickly at that level, so impatience down here does nothing except irritate the impatient. I'm not a fan of Barr or lots of others up there, but he seems a bunch better than what we have suffered in the remembered past, so I'm going to watch carefully and patiently for the results before I start damning him or throwing rocks his way..
No offense to you intended, but that's all just fancy talk to justify doing nothing.
No offense taken, but am more than a bit amazed by your assumption that you can read my mind and motive - and apparently your compulsions caused you to miss by a wide mile. I have no intent and made zero effort to "justify" anything he is not doing - or doing. You can not point up one word from me toward such justification.. And, that was not "fancy talk" talk. It was forthright every day language as used among thoughtful folks who do their best to express themselves clearly. Absence of abject bias does not indicate fanciful. Please take no offense.
