AG Barr Battles Intel Community And FBI. Illegal Surveillance Had Been Going On For Years.
saraacarter.com ^ | 5/28/2019 | Sara A. Carter

President Donald Trump’s orders to declassify secret documents pertaining to the FBI’s investigation into his campaign in 2016, came after weeks of battles between Attorney General William Barr and senior officials within the bureau, CIA and other agencies, sources with knowledge told SaraACarter.com.

Despite the president’s order giving Barr authority over the declassification of the documents related to the bureau’s investigation into the Trump campaign and Russia, it won’t be met without a fight. And there’s a reason why.

This isn’t just about Trump. It’s about nearly a decade of abuse inside the intelligence community and bureau regarding foreign-intelligence-collection authority. Why? Because it was carried out to monitor communications of Americans inside the United States and the procedures meant to protect Americans either swept up in those calls or targeted were not followed. The Fourth Amendment was under attack and abused for political purposes, say several retired intelligence sources.

“If the full extent of the abuse is made public the powers granted these agencies powers could be scaled back and those who allegedly abused their power could face prosecution,” one former senior intelligence official told SaraACarter.com.

What should happen is that Barr demands some specific info then if the Agency head defies him, Trump fires them. No explanation, or 2nd chance.

Then call the new acting agency head in saying “Do you understand you have to comply with what Barr says he needs?” If the Agency head fails to assure compliance, fire them.

It will not take more than this to get compliance.

If they wont release the info the president should issue an immediate full pardon to EVERY SINGLE person in Federal Prison for starters. If were not sure who they’ve screwed, than we’ll have to assume they’ve screwed everybody.

It's pretty much like we've suspected for awhile now. Obama weaponized the technologies and laws created largely to fight the war on terror and used them to spy on pretty much everybody. With limited success - Trump won! now its all starting to come out - Obama is a big crook.

I also think this helps explain why they were so sloppy - they've been doing this for a long time, their elitist arrogance, the hubris that HRC was going to win (how could she not when she had access to all this ill gotten intel?) led to being lazy.

So you got HRC rigging the primary, selling influence funneling it through CGI most likely using it to provide campaign donations to super delegates and providing access via a poorly secured email server with Obama trying to disqualify Trump using the aforementioned intelligence apparatus. Unreal

I suggest that Barr and the President pull in the military to assist in obtaining all the evidence they need, and start putting people who do not comply into custody....

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Fully agreed.

The best part is that Trump is all about this type of leadership.

We NEVER would have got this from a Bushie, or McCain, or Romney.

Remember what Chuck Schumer said recently, "Officials from the intelligence agencies have six ways from Sunday at getting back at you."

So it's clear even Schumer knows what they're capable of. I personally think it's possible deep state hijacked this government long ago at some point. It could easily happen as they have all the tools and skills needed to blackmail or extort the ruling class.

I think it’s possible the deep state, if and when pushed to their limit with no more options, will likely resort to something catastrophic. Not just start another war, but maybe the destruction of a US city, such as NYC. Possibly an offshore nuclear detonation creating a tsunami. There is FAR too much criminality and morally shocking revelations at the highest levels of elite, world powers for them to just give up, bite the bullet, and let discovery and prosecutions take their course.

Try several decades. This problem existed before Obama.

It’s an excuse. They can just release the portion related to Trump.

His trip over to the dark side makes more sense now.

Save for rare moments, Mitt has always been on the dark side.

Barr needs to arrest any intell official or DOJ official who refuses to comply with lawful FOIA requests, deliberately stalls on their timely production, destroys them, or just interferes in the AG’s orders.

Take away their security clearances immediately. Seize all their equipment and home electronics. Seal their offices with armed guards if necessary. Freeze their paychecks.

Then get their asses before a grand jury ASAP. If they lie, then they can lie in a jail cell for the term of this grand jury, and the next, and the next, and the next.

Let them die in jail. They are traitors and need to be treated that way. I understand the military prisons have nice views of NOTHING.

What can we do to support this good man?

In a universe of evil, we must let this man know we are depending on him to discover and hold accountable, the corruption that must be uncovered.
