William Barr’s Time for Choosing has Arrived
DB Daily Update ^ | David Blackmon

Posted on 08/27/2019 5:04:37 AM PDT by EyesOfTX

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends)

Boy, here’s a shocker, huh? – Footage from a camera stationed outside the cell in which pedophile and longtime pal of the Clintons Jeffrey Epstein mysteriously died a few weeks ago has been deemed as “unusable” by federal investigators. Oh, golly, how surprising that is.

Ok, it’s not surprising at all, is it? Seriously, this is like a bad episode of Jake and the Fat Man at this point. Was there anybody with a functioning brain still out there who did not fully expect to read this report at some point soon?

Hey, here’s another question someone at our Department of No-Justice should answer: Why has it taken so long for this “news” to be made public? Epstein was found dead in his cell 17 days ago – are we now being asked to believe it took that long for those eagle-eyed FBI guys to actually think to review video footage? How obvious is it that the real answer here is that the FBI no doubt reviewed the video evidence as a first step, but waited until public attention on the case had died down before letting this crucial piece of information out to the press?

The other little bit of news in the Washington Post story linked above is this:

Prosecutors have since moved to drop the charges against Epstein – although they continue to investigate those who might have conspired with him. A federal judge has scheduled a hearing for Tuesday to consider the matter and has indicated that those who say Epstein victimized them will be allowed to speak in court.

Well, of course. You can’t prosecute a very conveniently dead man, now, can you? But gosh, isn’t is just so sweet that a few of Epstein’s thousands of victims will be allowed to “speak in court?” I’m sure that will make it all better for them.

As for this nonsense about prosecutors continuing to investigate Epstein’s conspirators, well, we can’t help noticing that Ghislain Maxwell continues to just fly all over the world, free as a bird, or perhaps free as Hillary Clinton and James Comey and Andrew McCabe and Peter Strzok and on and on and on.

The big question in all of this and so much more is, when will Attorney General William Barr do something real, something other than talking a good game, something to prove that he is a real AG and not just the second coming of Jeff Sessions?

Well, a golden opportunity to do so just landed in his lap. Useless apparatchik U.S. Attorney Jessie Liu decided she just can’t decide whether or not to prosecute Andrew McCabe for his serial leaking of classified information and lying about it to superiors within the DOJ. Thus, that decision will now be made at DOJ headquarters in Washington, DC.

Here is your moment, Mr. Barr. You have a suspect whose internal behavior was so poor so frequently that he merited the conduct of a full-fledged Inspector General investigation, the report from which was issued way back in April, 2018. That report was so disturbing that even the otherwise feckless Sessions decided to fire McCabe. It also contained criminal referrals for McCabe’s repeatedly lying to investigators and superiors at the FBI and DOJ, the same alleged crimes for which Special Counsel Robert Mueller prosecuted and threw several people in jail during the course of his Witch Hunt.

Here is a chance for Mr. Barr to conclude a process for so long that at least one U.S. Attorney quit her job over the slow pace of the decision-making by Liu and others. From the New York Times report:

…[the case]… has been under investigation for so long that the term expired for the grand jury hearing evidence. One of the lead prosecutors, Kamil Shields, was unhappy with the lengthy decision-making process and has since left the Justice Department for private practice. Ms. Shields declined to comment.

This is a case into which a real, decisive Attorney General would step and do the right thing. It’s a clear and unambiguous opportunity for William Barr to demonstrate that the two-tiered system of justice that existed in our country for the 24 years before Donald Trump took office will come to an end under his watch.

If Andrew McCabe is allowed to skate and go onto become wealthy thanks to his benefactors at CNN, then we all should forget about any of the bad actors who tried to fix the 2016 election and mounted a failed coup d’etat against a sitting President of the United States ever seeing anything resembling “justice.”

For William Barr, the time for choosing has arrived.

That is all.

Either everyone in DC is evil or Trump needs to fire whomever it is who keeps recommending his appointments.

“...no matter what the cost...”

Obama and his administration were almost certainly a part of Spygate so there is fear that the inner city “communities” will riot if he is prosecuted.

So what? Let them burn then. Justice has to happen.

I actually think that this fear of riots is overblown anyway.

I agree with your comments and would like to expand:

Lindsey Graham hasn’t shown any inclination to have a hearing on any topic

I believe Senator Graham has indicated he will hold hearings on FISA abuse as soon as the IG report has been released.

...US Attorney John Dowd...

I hope your are referring to John H. Durham, U.S. Attorney from Connecticut. Hopefully, Mr. Durham's investigation is more than a "review".

We can only hope and pray that significant criminal action will proceed at the right time.

Agree! I am patiently waiting for the first indictment or plea agreement. Once that occurs the dominoes should fall nicely.

Don’t see how they can give a pass...

Agree! Too much information has been released (forced out). Judicial Watch and several key Republican Representatives deserve a lot of credit for extracting the information from the FBI/DOJ.

My speculation on Liu is that she’s probably a deep state operator all the way down and would love to clear McCabe but knows that the IG report and maybe Durham will make her look like a tool if she does. She’s basically saying, “Not going to touch this.”

“So what? Let them burn then.”

All they ever burn is an already ruined inner city wasteland. So who cares.

“Justice has to happen.”

Though the Heavens may fall.

Uh, no. If the perps in the coup are not brought to justice it is over for America. The Deep State conspirators need to be utterly defeated or there will never be another conservative president and we will be on fast track to outright communism.

I don’t necessarily disagree with that. If any of the stuff I suggested is true, they may be between a rock and a hard place.

Oh, I made that mistake the other day in my head and now it got into print.
No, I did not mean President Trump’s lawyer but the US Attorney John Durham.

Thank you.

Barr et all doesn’t want to do what needs to be done because they’re scared of the consequences.

They need to understand they should be as equally scared of not upholding the rule of law.

That’s the job of We the People

Well, I figure it’s gone once trump is out anyway. It’s just looking like an even more “perfect” storm than I thought it would be.
