Snake Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 These attacks aren’t about special counsel Robert Mueller, his report or even the surreal debate over Mr. Barr’s first letter describing the report. The attorney general delivered the transparency Democrats demanded: He quickly released a lightly redacted report, which portrayed the president in a negative light. What do Democrats have to object to? Some of this is frustration. Democrats foolishly invested two years of political capital in the idea that Mr. Mueller would prove President Trump had colluded with Russia, and Mr. Mueller left them empty-handed. Some of it is personal. Democrats resent that Mr. Barr won’t cower or apologize for doing his job. Some is bitterness that Mr. Barr is performing like a real attorney general, making the call against obstruction-of-justice charges rather than sitting back and letting Democrats have their fun with Mr. Mueller’s obstruction innuendo. But most of it is likely fear. Mr. Barr made real news in that Senate hearing, and while the press didn’t notice, Democrats did. The attorney general said he’d already assigned people at the Justice Department to assist his investigation of the origins of the Trump-Russia probe. He said his review would be far-reaching—that he was obtaining details from congressional investigations, from the ongoing probe by the department’s inspector general, Michael Horowitz, and even from Mr. Mueller’s work. Mr. Barr said the investigation wouldn’t focus only on the fall 2016 justifications for secret surveillance warrants against Trump team members but would go back months earlier. He also said he’d focus on the infamous “dossier” concocted by opposition-research firm Fusion GPS and British former spy Christopher Steele, on which the FBI relied so heavily in its probe. Mr. Barr acknowledged his concern that the dossier itself could be Russian disinformation, a possibility he described as not “entirely speculative.” He also revealed that the department has “multiple criminal leak investigations under way” into the disclosure of classified details about the Trump-Russia investigation. Do not underestimate how many powerful people in Washington have something to lose from Mr. Barr’s probe. Among them: Former and current leaders of the law-enforcement and intelligence communities. The Democratic Party pooh-bahs who paid a foreign national (Mr. Steele) to collect information from Russians and deliver it to the FBI. The government officials who misused their positions to target a presidential campaign. The leakers. The media. More than reputations are at risk. Revelations could lead to lawsuits, formal disciplinary actions, lost jobs, even criminal prosecution. https://www.wsj.com/articles/for-fear-of-william-barr-11556837637 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zambroski Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 Imagine if somebody actually did enforce the law (and Constitution) for our elected “servants” in DC. What a neat world that would be! Never gonna happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Contributing Member Highmark Posted May 5, 2019 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted May 5, 2019 We should be far more concerned about the abuse of power within the upper levels of the dept of justice and even Obama admin spying on another candidate than any minor thing Russia did. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ez ryder Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 (edited) The attorney general said he’d already assigned people at the Justice Department to assist his investigation of the origins of the Trump-Russia probe. He said his review would be far-reaching—that he was obtaining details from congressional investigations, from the ongoing probe by the department’s inspector general, Michael Horowitz, and even from Mr. Mueller’s work. Mr. Barr said the investigation wouldn’t focus only on the fall 2016 justifications for secret surveillance warrants against Trump team members but would go back months earlier. SO pretty much what most realistic people on this forum speculated from the beginning of this shit predicted would happen Edited May 5, 2019 by Ez ryder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody of any consequence is getting indicted. Backroom deals will be cut and corruption swept under the rug.

It's reverse rolls now. First it's Russia and Trump and now it's tearing down the deep state. Two nothing burgers and idiots on both sides with lots of butt hurt.
