Whoever is trying to remove Barr.
When you strike at the king, you better kill him.

John Durham’s investigation must be hovering right over the target. – This is turning into the Tet Offensive of all Deep State smears. They’re even bringing federal judges publicly into it.
Yesterday, The Federal Judges Association announced it would be holding an “emergency meeting” today to discuss, among other things, Barr’s decision to reduce the DOJ’s sentencing recommendation in the Roger Stone case. This intervention, which was nothing out of ordinary and well within the rights of any attorney general to execute, has been seized upon by the Democrat/media/Deep State Axis of Disinformation as the centerpiece of its effort to take down Barr as investigator John Durham’s investigation of the Deep State proceeds to conclusion.
Remember how transparent this all is: It is so transparent that I told you way back last summer that this is exactly what would be taking place in our country right now. Now, think about this: If I knew it would be taking place, don’t you think AG Barr was aware of it as well?
Understanding that reality means that you immediately understood that last night’s story pushed fby Deep State tool Matt Zapatosky at the Washington Post, that Barr was “considering quitting” his job because mean ol’ President Trump won’t stop tweeting in his general direction, was laughably false. That understanding was confirmed when, about an hour after the story broke, Barr’s spokesperson issued a simple statement that said “Addressing Beltway rumors: The Attorney General has no plans to resign.”
Oh.
So, what really happened? The most likely scenario is that Barr had set up a trap to identify a leaker or two on his staff. What better way to catch a leaker than to casually feed that person or persons a juicy tidbit like that and then sit back and see how long it takes either the Post or the New York Times to suddenly have a “scoop”?
Or maybe Barr just decided to have a little fun yesterday. You can almost imagine this happening:
William Barr: Hey, guys, let’s have some fun. Leak out to the Washington Post that I’m quitting because of Trump’s tweets.
Media: Barr’s Quitting! He’s great, standing up to Trump’s mean tweets!
[1 hour later] Barr: I’m not quitting.
Media: Aw, man….
Back to this meeting of the Federal Judges Association: The group’s spokesman issued a ringing endorsement of corrupt judge Amy Berman Jackson, who is presiding over the case against Stone, saying that “We are supportive of any federal judge who does what is required.”
Ummmmm…what exactly is “required” of a deep state federal judge? Ms. Jackson presided over a case in which she and everyone else knew the jury foreman was a rabid Trump hater, and who lied on the questionnaire she had to fill out in order to serve on that jury. Despite that reality becoming public in recent days, Judge Jackson yesterday ordered the trial to just move ahead to the sentencing phase as if none of that had happened.
This is also the very same judge who issued a 100% public speaking gag order against Stone, preventing him from making a living of any kind for more than a year as this abusive prosecution has dragged on and on. She is also the very same judge who tossed septuagenarian Paul Manafort into solitary confinement during his trial, a draconian punishment courts do not deploy against rapists and murderers.
Is that doing “what is required?”
The fact that the federal judiciary – most of whose members were appointed by Clinton, Bush and Obama – has now become so utterly politicized that it would publicly stage such a bit of Kabuki theater is one of the most disturbing developments of the last four years. This meeting today is nothing more or less than a rank act of judicial intimidation designed to send a signal to Barr and Durham, warning them not to expect impartial treatment in any cases they bring against the bad actors from the Obama era.
This is real, true banana republic stuff happening right in front of our very eyes. These people are purely transparent once you accept them for what they really are.
None of it would be happening if Barr and Durham weren’t getting really close.
Stay tuned.
That is all.
Look at the bright side. They gave us a list of 1,000 names who can be strung up on the National Mall next December like Christmas ornaments.
Where were all these defenders of justice when Eric “The Wingman” Holder was aiding and abetting Barack Obama in the Fast and Furious operation that led to the murder of dozens of Mexicans and two U.S. Border Patrol personnel? Not a peep.....
When you strike at the king, you better kill him.
Side Bar: FNC is reporting hundreds of folks have overnighted, outside, waiting for a choice spot to view the massive Trump campaign rally this evening in Phoenix, AZ!!!
Remember...Tonight, Phoenix, Tomorrow, Colorado Springs, Friday, Las Vegas, Then Charlotte & then South Carolina!!! Go Trumpie!!! Dems dying politically on the vine!!!!
As soon as the details were known about the jury foreman were known, it should have been declared a mistrial imho.
Hopefully that emergency meeting was recorded.
I'm hoping for military tribunals. Treason is a big deal. Let's have real justice and not political justice.
Don’t you just love it when people out themselves.
I would like to see a run on rope and trees after these traitors and seditious losers are arrested, given a speedy fair trial and conviction, of course. Leave their dead bodies to rot and be eaten by the birds.
“I’m hoping for military tribunals. Treason is a big deal. Let’s have real justice and not political justice.”
Yes and completely televised just like Watergate. I want a trial where all the evidence is laid right out there on the table. Let’s hear what they have to say.
Who would televise it except perhaps FBN or youtube?
Barr is deep state.
I think you’re right. A couple dozen or so people swinging from trees or stood up against a wall for treason might just reduce some of these POS’s ardor for ‘effing with the system.
“None of it would be happening if Barr and Durham weren’t getting really close. “
I’ll believe it when I see it.
So far I’ve seen McCabe cleared of all charges.
He was NOT “cleared of all charges”.
Sure. And Trump colluded with Putin and he is guilty of obstruction of congress and he wasn’t acquitted and he is a threat to national security...🙄
Barr runs a $29 billion per year agency (over $200 each taxpayer) that incubated the coup against Trump. To show so far, no convictions or indictments except for Trump supporters.
How much is the Deep State paying you to post bs like this!
William Barr ‘must’ not resign!
by Eddie Scarry | February 18, 2020 01:14 PM
When the Atlantic published a piece on Sunday under the headline “Bill Barr Must Resign,” the editors must have believed there was truly something powerful about the article.
They were, of course, mistaken. William Barr has not resigned as attorney general, and there doesn’t appear to be anything forcing him to do so, even though the author of the piece, a former deputy attorney general, has declared that he “must.”
The article itself amounts to a cliche of the Trump era. If you were to exclude from the media all denunciations of administration officials and the exhausted phrase “no person is above the law,” there would be nothing left.
The Atlantic article checked both boxes. “The fundamental problem,” wrote Donald Ayer, “is that [Barr] does not believe in the central tenet of our system of government — that no person is above the law.”
Saying that magical line can get you everywhere with the media, even though it’s always stupid.
President Trump might just be the most legally constrained president in history, and yet the banal “above the law” is given out by the media like back rubs at a Joe Biden meet-and-greet.
Someone should tell journalists that “above the law” is not the same thing as “I don’t like that.”
For example, the impeachment articles drafted by House Democrats never accused Trump of breaking any law in his interactions of Ukraine, which led to his impeachment. But Jon Meacham, a historian who for some reason gets booked on MSNBC to say “um” a lot, gravely warned last month that we now have “a president who is above the law.”
But what exactly does it mean for a person to be “above the law” when he hasn’t even been accused of a crime?
District judges keep hamstringing the administration’s ability to get our immigration system under control, only to find their rulings overturned by the Supreme Court. Does that mean those judges are operating “above the law”? Of course not.
The attorney general hasn’t done anything illegal. Neither has Trump. And there’s no reason that either of them “must” do anything!
