Dems Rail Against Barr Investigation [semi-satire]

President Trump’s decision to give Attorney General William Barr a free hand in determining which documents related to the intelligence community’s covert operation to take down the Trump Administration can be opened to public inspection has led to major consternation among Democratic Party luminaries.

Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif) called the move to inform the general public “a cover-up and un-American. Secrecy is essential if our guardians are to keep us safe from the type of threat the election of Trump posed for our country. Granted, mistakes may have been made, but they were all in the pursuit of patriotic motives. That Trump would rip the masks off of these patriots is just one more piece of evidence demanding his impeachment.”

“I know that Trump apologists will argue that the federal intelligence community has no business trying to rig an election or to desperately try to reverse a horrific error made at the ballot box,” Schiff said. “But the fate of the country is more important than whether any one candidate is treated fairly or not. Sen. Sanders realized that and yielded to wiser heads who had determined that Sec. Clinton should be the Democratic Party’s presidential nominee in 2016. For that he deserves the respect and thanks of every right-thinking American. That Trump veered from this sterling example proves his unfitness for holding public office.”

As an example of the type of covert action that must be kept secret, Schiff lamented the revelation that “the attempt to entrap Papadopoulos by getting him to accept a $10,000 bribe that he refused to take is something that must never be exposed to scrutiny. This is the sort of standard method that has to be protected from prying eyes if it is to retain its utility going forward. Trump’s willingness to compromise our covert operations capacity in order to save himself and his cronies from what he has characterized as a ‘hoax’ and ‘witch hunt’ is treason.”

Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-NY), the chairman of the House intelligence committee, expressed his outrage over the idea that “anybody in the intelligence community did anything wrong. If we have learned anything from recent history it is that the government’s intelligence officers are the heroes that protect us all. To be effective they must be permitted to work behind the scenes. Drawing attention to them subverts their ability to do their job. I fear that Barr’s inquiry will drive them to have to use more extreme measures to carry out their duties.”

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif) tried to adopt a more sympathetic sounding objection to this investigation of the investigators when she suggested that “Trump is suffering from a mental breakdown” and urged “his family and Administration staff to stage an intervention to relieve him of the pressures that have driven him mad. When I was at the White House the other day a member of his staff tried to talk to me. This display of disrespect—you know, I’m third in line to be president, I don’t talk to lesser beings—shows that his mind cannot grasp the narrative that the rest of us perceive. He is a clear threat to everything we all hold dear. I pray he gets help before he harms himself or someone else.”

In related news, Ann Ravel, former Federal Election Commission chair and current Democratic candidate for a seat in the California Senate, contends that “the First Amendment is responsible for more violent hate crime than terrorism” and demanded that “government authorities step up efforts to mute the dissemination of dangerous ideas. When people abuse freedom of speech to assail the government’s actions to control the population and ensure obedient behavior they’ve gone too far. Speech needs to stay within reasonable boundaries and government must adopt whatever measures are necessary to see that it does.”

The Democrats cannot allow the revelation of TRUTH!

America is in a Manichaean struggle between the forces of TRUTH, championed by President Trump holding the Light of TRUTH, and the forces of evil.

Pray that TRUTH prevails.

I think it would be hilarious if some conservative could guesstimate how much time many of these conspirators *could* spend behind bars, for breaking known federal laws.

Seeing something like:

John Brennan, Fmr CIA Director, (listed offenses), 20-25 years.
Peter Strzok, Fmr FBI Agent, (listed offenses), 15-25 years.
Eric Holder, Fmr US Atty General, (listed offenses), 35-life.

etc., etc., etc.

Hopefully it would put all the wretches into panic mode, willing to rat each other out.

The Dems now remind me of that old episode of MASH, when Hawkeye and Trapper were trying to acquire an incubator. They confronted a general with their questions at a press conference. And he snapped:

"Now just a minute! This is a press conference! The last thing I want to do is answer questions!"

Communism= Government control of your lives.
Freedom= individuals control their own lives.

Those who believe government must control your ability to speak freely are beyond any doubt avowed COMMUNISTS.

Leave it to the left to take a fine novel and movie and turn out a piece-of-crap TV series that never got tired of criticizing and ridiculing our great nation. Eff off, Alan Alda and all the other leftist punks that produced it!

Meanwhile, in her own bid to stymie the evil effects of prosperity, rival Democratic presidential contender Sen. Kamala Harris (Calif) promised to make union membership mandatory for holding a job. She is particularly peeved that “some states have allowed their inhabitants to decline joining a union, yet still be able to keep their jobs. They say everyone should have a right to associate or not at their own choosing. I say this is selfish. Society has the right to require that people be organized for the common good regardless of whether they like it or not.”

Satire?

Nah...

It's certainly in line with other scary, repression-mongering things that Willie-Brown's-Harem-Member Harris has said recently.

Thanks, John, for another fine column!
