For more than two years, leaks of highly sensitive, often classified information to a few privileged media outlets by members of the deep state occurred on a regular basis as the coup attempt against POTUS Donald Trump slowly unfolded.
And for just as long, supporters of the president pleaded with members of Congress and the Jeff Sessions-run Justice Department to take action against those conspirators.
Sessions, who had foolishly recused himself from all things Russia, refused to act, frustrating tens of millions of Americans who saw the president battered daily by skewed reporting based on contextual leaks aimed at creating the narrative that POTUS was a Putin stooge at worst and a criminal at best.
But as the saying goes, theres a new sheriff in town Attorney General William Barr and hes preparing to get to the bottom of this coup attempt and, we believe, hold those who helped craft and execute it responsible.
At least, thats what he said under oath on Wednesday during his appearance before the Senate Judiciary Committee.
In particular, the committees former chairman, Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), asked Barr about the leaks and what he was doing about them.
The Inspector General found that during the departments investigation of Hillary Clinton for mishandling classified information, there was a culture of unauthorized media contacts. During the Russian investigation, the leaks continued. Leaks undermine the ability of investigators to investigate, Grassley argued. Further leaks to the papers while Congresss questions to the department go unanswered is unacceptable.
What are you doing to investigate unauthorized media contacts by the department and FBI officials during the Russian investigation? Grassley asked.
We have multiple criminal leak investigations underway, Barr responded.

Multiple.
Sen. Joe Kennedy (R-La.) also asked Barr to extend his leak investigation to the special counsels office.
When youre investigating leaks at the Department of Justice and the FBI, I hope you will include the Mueller team as well, Kennedy said, concluding his remarks.
Should Obama be arrested for illegally spying on Trump?
Last month, House Intelligence Committee Ranking Member Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) sent at least five criminal referrals to AG Barr regarding spying on the Trump campaign that he says actually began in 2015, shortly after the president declared his intention to seek the GOP nomination.
Cue the deep state panic.

Traditional military doctrine (at this point) is to gain air/space superiority. The globalists, however, went one step further by determining that broad spectrum information superiority was the key to fighting 5th generation warfare.
5th gen is characterized by the lack of kinetic action. Globalists correctly assessed that nations could be defeated by controlling thought. It's why western Europe has been conditioned to turn over their countries to invading hordes. The same tactics are being employed here with regard to open borders.
Total information superiority allows adversaries to not only control narratives, but to actually invent alternate realities by convincing infected populations what is "truth".
This is what Trump, and by association Barr et al, faces. It won't matter what they do, how much evidence they present or what kind of penalties are assessed if the media is allowed to retain its unfettered power of influence and control.
Trump only has 6 years remaining, if re-elected; the globalists generations. Their strategy so far is a proven success - we see it on daily display. It simply doesn't matter what actually happens - it can spun & characterized in any fashion they so choose.
The only solution is to re-introduce kinetic penalties against enemies of the people. Anything short of that approach just means we're biding time. I've said many times I actually sort of ok with that. You can lead a horse to water ... People know what the problem is, along with the most effective solution.
If it doesn't happen now, it's not going to happen. If it doesn't, I'm not going to waste any emotional energy fretting about what happened. It started before I was born, and I can only try and educate so many people. After that, it's out of my hands.
Post #42 is the best explanation that I have seen so far!
I hope they find these rats and they get real jail time.
I wonder why that hasn't happened already?
The Democrats & the rest of Congress really quieted down
any discussion of this. The obliging press quickly
dropped it.
American taxpayers forced to payoff victims and
pay the legal fees of members of congress accused
of sexual harassment by their employees. And the press
wasn't interested. (Too many Dems involved I guess.)
I imagine Dianne Feinstein will be hiring, her staff leaks like a sieve.
Bttt.

Also its potentially constitutionally sticky due to “separation of powers”. Congress (Rats mostly!) could easily argue that Congress is constitutionally mandated to police it's members ergo decide what proper behavior is. It is the role of the people to reward or punish such behavior (elect or no elect!) not the executive branch's job.
What were the lessons learned from WWII & the Cold war? Not to attack the productive, social/cultural & technical capacity of the USA directly in a head-on conflict. Germany, Japan & the USSR all provided excellent examples of how NOT to defeat the West.
Rather, China (let's just dispense with this whole globalist/deep state Trojan horse once and for all) realized if they could de-stabilize the USA, then we could be left to simply defeat ourselves. Once our adversary decided upon this strategy, it was critical they gained control certain pieces of the puzzle. Their success in these endeavors over the last 25-30 years are readily apparent:
- Corrupt the targeted political system - we see Chinese influence behind both the DNC & RNC
- Gain control of productive capacity ie outsourcing - ditto
- Use financial leverage to purchase assets - ditto
- Control media narrative - create alternate reality
- Advance policies eg open borders, Islamification, IQ dilution, etc that are actively prosecuted in China for even daring to mention/suggest
The only way for the USA/West to counter these efforts is to mount a full scale offensive against enemy placements. They targeted media for a reason, primarily because they could use the 1A against us. But, let consider that the media was under full censorship control during both WWI & WWII. Anything short of this type of declaration will simply end up allowing the country to eventually bleed out.
Trump is here for either 2 or 6 years - less than a blink to a race/culture that can trace back its history 5,000 years. They think the last 500 years of Western dominance was a fluke, that we merely got the jump on them. Their goal is to be the dominant player going forward, and control global commerce and security arrangements.
Barr should have said yesterday that the DOJ is contemplating an investigation into the congressional slush fund used to pay off women who have been sexually abused or harassed by congressmen.

Leaking classified information to overthrow the duly-elected President of the United States should be treated as the serious felony it is. Take their security clearances. These traitors won’t need them as they serve 10+ years each behind bars.
