Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) outlines the political motives of Jerry Nadler (Chair-House Judiciary Committee) and his fellow Democrats in moving to cite AG Barr for contempt of Congress. As Jordan states forcefully, Barr was being cited because he refused to break the law.
The Democratic meltdown continues. The basic problem that the Democrats have is this. Obama administration officials used the FBI, the NSA, the CIA, and other national security organs to spy on a rival campaign and then undermine an elected president. Interviews are being done around the country to try to obfuscate this fact.
On Saturday former FBI Director James Comey went on radio in LA and tried to make the case once again that the Russians won the election for Trump. If there were an annual award for the most fake news items in one interview, Comey would be in the running.
But the president of the United States refuses to acknowledge that the Russians attacked us.
No President in recent memory has imposed more sanctions on Russia than PDJT.
On Wednesday AG Bill Barr is scheduled to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee. On Thursday, the House Judiciary Committee has requested his presence. There appears to be some problem with the House request since Chairman Nadler only wants Barr to take questions from the committee staff counsels rather than the committee members. Barr is refusing to do this.
Linked below is an insightful piece on the Special Counsel’s investigation done by Sundance over at CTH. It shows there never was a Trump-Russia-Collusion conspiracy case to begin with. The Mueller Report shows that most of the SC’s investigative time was spent gathering evidence for an obstruction case over a crime that never happened. In other words it was a trap that they were trying to ensnare the President with. Witch hunt is the appropriate word.
It was the obstruction investigation that would help Pelosi and Nadler achieve impeachment. This piece shows that most of the $35 million that was spent from May 2017 through to March 2019 was for the sole purpose of achieving the Democrats’ objective of impeaching the President because they did not like his ideas or politics. ...
Thursday is shaping up to be an interesting day. The long-awaited Mueller Report is scheduled to be released. On March 24th the AG had announced the results of the Mueller investigation. It exonerated PDJT and his campaign of all wrongdoing during the 2016 election campaign. It confirmed what PDJT had said all along.
On Wednesday, it was announced that, at 9:30 AM on Thursday, the AG will hold a press conference followed by release of the report between 11 and 12. This set the Democrats’ hair on fire. Leading the charge was Rep. Adam Schiff who had teased America for two years with comments. These comments made it seem like he knew “classified” stuff that showed without a shadow of a doubt that PDJT was guilty. All of that vanished along with his credibility when AG Barr announced “No collusion.”
The NASA moon landings were actually done on a sound stage in Hollywood. The JFK assassination was the work of the CIA. Conspiracy theories just used to belong to the minds of nuts and kooks.
On Thursday, Rep. Devin Nunes, R-CA, notified the Justice Department of criminal referrals, targeting individuals tied to the origins of the Trump-Russia investigation. As indicated previously, the origins of the investigation are where sunlight is needed. This avoids the corrupt officials being able to say that they were “just doing their job to protect the country.”
In a brief letter, Nunes informs Attorney General William Barr he and Rep. John Ratcliffe, R-TX, want to schedule a meeting to discuss eight criminal referrals, which are ready for consideration, as part of the House Intelligence Committee’s lengthy examination of alleged misconduct during the Russia collusion probe.
AG Barr announced on Wednesday morning to a Senate panel that he thinks “spying did occur” by the government on President Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign.
“For the same reason we’re worried about foreign influence in elections…I think spying on a political campaign — it’s a big deal, it’s a big deal.”
The Mueller investigation into Russian collusion has ended. The investigation that was started as an indirect result of the corrupt FISA warrant has found no criminal lapses connected to the campaign. The investigation did financially bankrupt some good people who found themselves in court supposedly for lying. No such accusations about lying have been proven in court to date. The investigation did a very good job of shielding corruption in the Obama administration from public disclosure.
Now that the Mueller investigation is over, what can be expected next? The normal process does not allow for the release of investigative material unless there is an indictment. The privacy of innocent people who have never been charged with any crime must be protected.
The Democrats will mine whatever the DOJ releases for any crumb that they might use against the President. If the DOJ does not release all of the report, Rep. Adam Schiff and others will claim that high crimes and misdemeanors are being covered up even though he knows better. It will be all about trying to make some political hay out of the disaster that was the Mueller investigation.
Pelosi and Schumer will demand that all investigative materials be declassified and released. They will probably say that full transparency is needed to protect the integrity of the US intelligence community or some such crap like that. The complete investigative file would likely be millions of pages. There would also be wiretaps, emails, text messages, etc.
