William Barr Takes the Next Big Step

DB Daily Update ^ | David Blackmon

The last paragraphs of the article say what I think:

Let’s be painfully honest: We know who the bad actors in all of this really were. The public record already accumulated is crystal clear on this. All that has been lacking to this point is a real Attorney General and a set of diligent prosecutors who were willing to act on behalf of the public interest and uphold the rule of law.

With Rod Rosenstein’s exit from DOJ, the last of the known obstructionists to justice is now gone. Well, except for FBI Director Christopher Wray, anyway. All we the people can do now is wait and pray they haven’t been replaced by a new set of obstructionists.

It won’t take long to figure that out.

The fact that he appointed a prosecutor says that he thinks there might be something to prosecute.

Two thoughts on your second point...

First, the easy indictees in this whole mess are not the ultimate targets of the counter-coup investigations, and their accumulated testimony is needed to take down the whole and not just parts. This is how prosecutors take down major conspiracies.

Second, we only assume that indictments have not been brought against these lower-level players. Prosecutors use leverage to turn conspirators against each other, and the unprecedentedly high number of unsealed indictments and other court actions is still growing as evidenced on PACER.gov (Public Access to Court Electronic Records), which is the official index of the federal courts.

Time will tell, and in the meantime I’ll trust that our cool-as-a cucumber unworried president knows exactly what he is doing through those he has appointed to act on his behalf. One thing we know for certain is that his enemies are behaving like they are scared to death.

Couple thoughts on your thoughts

We’re talking Fedzilla here: UNLIMITED $$, man-power and ACCESS.

We’ve already had Comey ADMITTING to leaking during Congressional testimony; there is ZERO reasons the FISA forms, 302s and NSA data, etc. hasn’t *already* been requested, received and viewed to skip the f* minnows and go directly after the ‘big-fish’. work D-O-W-N, but that would mean actually doing their J-O-Bs

Lastly, Mr. ‘cool-as-a-cucumber’ has hired, IMO, too many bad-apples in the past; some of which were *applauded* here on FR (EG: Sessions). He’s also keen on posturing w/ little follow-through (1yr hiatus on Mexico, DACA support, no declassification, etc.) Two yrs+ have already gone under the bridge, regardless of ‘mill of Justice’ was supposedly have in our once Republic...

You’re making an assumption that just because the public hasn’t seen something, it must not exist. In a proper criminal investigation, especially one targeting a major conspiracy, prosecutors (such as United States Attorneys like Huber, Durham, Hiland, etc.) don’t publicly discuss the evidence they are accumulating or the targets they are squeezing and turning. We should and will be the last to know when hammers begin to fall. In the meantime, observe your leader’s calmness while the targets are panicking, and take heart.

This is true and bears repeating. We have become conditioned to investigations being leaked and aired on the nightly news in the crashing waves of the news cycle in support of the intended narrative. This is not how professionals conduct themselves within DOJ.

With that said, I think we all understand the reason for skepticism among many on the right given the previous decade. The next two years will be very interesting and I think Barr has realized just how bad this was and he too feels the sting of the deep state.

There comes a point in every conspiracy where the conspirators turn on one another and it is often like a dam that violently breaks. They left a paper-trail a mile wide never thinking or imagining that Trump would win. Many of the players have spoken on the record and under oath before congress. Mueller was their last hope like a wild haymaker from a boxer who is out on his feet. Despite the fog created by the media, you can smell the ozone over DC right now and I believe a new storm is coming.
