Barr Again Casts Doubt on Russia Inquiry’s Origins, Aligning With Trump’s Attacks
The New York Slimes ^ | May 18, 2019 | Charlie Savage, Prog Propaganda Desk

When Attorney General William P. Barr described the early stages of the Russia investigation as “spying” on the Trump campaign, he prompted questions about whether he had used that word spontaneously — or whether he was deliberately fueling conspiracy theories.

That question flared anew on Friday after Mr. Barr went even further in casting doubt on the legitimacy of the investigation in two interviews that, by design or coincidence, provided fresh ammunition for President Trump and allies to attack law enforcement and intelligence agencies.

Mr. Barr told Fox News he had been asking whether “government officials abused their power and put their thumb on the scale” in opening the Russia inquiry. “A lot of the answers have been inadequate and some of the explanations I’ve gotten don’t hang together,” he added.

AG Barr doubles down, there is no doubt he has the evidence.

Deceptive language by the Slimes.

Because facts can never live up with Trump.

The origins of the collusion mess, which Mueller found to be total bs, are already known to be screwed up. Barr is not “aligning” with anyone by simply investigating it.

The AG should instead join the NYT dem coverup? I think not. That’s for the filthy racist AG’S Democrats appoint.

Didn’t Saint Comey himself say AG Lynch was “compromised”? Damn well he did.

Right - Barr would never say such things without having the goods. I suspect they have many of their cases wrapped awaiting some timeline they have established. It will be thorough and orderly. We will get our first hint when we hear police and certain military units are placed on alert and, perhaps, moved to hot spot locations. - can’t wait.

Never recalled reading the headline - “Comey casts doubt on Trunps statements - further aligns with Pelosi”

Well, if they don't hang together then they'll surely hang separately.

We need a term based around “Republicans pounce” to describe the MSM’s predictable attempt to deflect whenever incriminating facts about Dims comes to light.

Any ideas?

Is it possible to come up with a more slanted, lying headline?

If they don’t hang together perhaps they will hang separately.

Everybody has the evidence. Bongino published a damn book a year ago. Modified, Limited Hangout (MLH). Limited hangout, release just enough information to distract and misdirect (Qtards?). Modified, do so repeatedly at intervals just short enough that people will beleive “something is being done” when it isn’t and continue process enough the rubes will buy it and not boil over in a fury. This is what government does when they are caught and can’t get out of it by just spinning. See Kent State Massacre, Ludlow Massacre, and the more recent Twin Peaks massacre, Ruby Ridge, and Waco. When you are aware of it you see it.

In ten years when nobody cares anymore they will “miraculously find a document that was misplaced that demonstrated it was just a simple mistake of some low level flunky”. Pretty similar to the Rose Law Firm Records. A couple days after they were triviall they were miraculously found.

If anyone was going to be arrested there is no reason they would not have been arrested by now. Now, if a couple of “journalists” were serious about this and get in Barr’s face and accuse him of MLH openly and directly he might have to change tactics but as long as it is working and you retards continue to beleive “any day now” nothing is going to happen. Barr has said openly his job is “to restore the integrity of the DOJ”. Why would anyone beleive he is going to start out on this mission by arresting two dozen of it’s highest officials?

Sorry for the duplicate, been having 'mouse' problems with this old junker of a computer.

This is not a term, but you get the message.

BTW, the victim is dead, Zed.

Maybe...just maybe, he’s aligning himself with the Rule of Law

Foreign concept to some people since it’s something we’ve not seen in an AG for quite some time

Give the Slimes Cessitors a couple of weeks, I'm sure they'll come up with something.
