William Barr’s big adventure took two huge steps on Saturday.
First, Attorney General Barr went out of his way to call out the domestic terrorist and Democrat support group Antifa as one of the main organizers behind the nationwide set of riots happening in Democrat-controlled big cities this weekend. He also took great pains to note that the crossing of state lines to organize or participate in riots is a federal crime
Here’s an outtake from his speech:
“Groups of outside radicals and agitators are exploiting the situation to pursue their own separate and violent agenda.
In many places, it appears the violence is planned, organized, and driven by anarchistic and far left extremists, using Antifa-like tactics, many of whom travel from out of state to promote the violence.
We must have law and order on our streets and in our communities, and it is the responsibility of the local and state leadership, in the first instance, to halt this violence. The Department of Justice (including the FBI, Marshals, ATF, and DEA), and all of our 93 U.S. Attorneys across the country, will support these local efforts and take all action necessary to enforce federal law.
In that regard, it is a federal crime to cross state lines or to use interstate facilities to incite or participate in violent rioting. We will enforce these laws.”
[End]
Boom. Obviously, Mr. Barr has intelligence showing that Antifa is behind this violence and mayhem, just as I speculated in this morning’s Campaign Update. Barr’s speech today was obviously a stage-setter for action to come.
Second came the news mid-afternoon that the FBI’s top lawyer, the corrupt clown Dana Boente – who was hand-picked for the job by Rod Rosenstein and Christopher Wray – was allowed to “resign” his position on Friday rather than suffer the indignity of an outright firing. In it’s fake report on the matter, NBC News hilarious attempts to tie the firing to recent criticism Boente had received on Fox News for his role in the framing of General Michael Flynn, a role that included withholding exculpatory documents from Flynn’s defense team.
The fact of the matter here is that Boente has been a bad actor for a long, long time and should have never been given any position within the Trump Administration. The fact that he has held multiple positions within the DOJ since 2017 is a testament to how poorly managed and corrupt the institution has remained, although it certainly does appear to be suddenly making strides under Barr’s leadership.
Of special note here is that the firing of Boente was ordered by Barr and the DOJ, in the process going right over the head of the worthless, corrupt FBI Director Wray. This is a show of incredible disrespect, one that Wray has richly earned.
No one should be the least bit surprised if Wray’s is the next head on the chopping block, since there is literally no one in Washington, DC who has the slightest respect for the way he has handled his job. The firing of Boente also leaves Wray without many, if any, real friends within the Bureau’s top management. Anyone who has ever been in upper management in any organization knows how crucial it is to have a loyal support group around you.
With Ric Grenell currently out of government, I continue to hold out hope that Barr and President Donald Trump will find a new senior position for him to fill. Sure would be nice to have a vacancy atop the FBI to plug him into, wouldn’t it?
Of course, Grenell could never be confirmed to the FBI Director job by the current Senate. But, as we have seen over the last three months, this is a guy who can accomplish a hell of a lot in a 180-day assignment in an “acting” role.
Go for it, Mr. President. As you love to say, what have you got to lose?
That is all.
Well.... Maybe strongly worded letters will come next.
Barr should have taken out that Smirking Monkey, Wray also today!
BINGO!!! SOROS IS ANTIFA!!! RICO!!
What has Wray accomplished?
He might be a good fit for the State Roads crew, leaning on his shovel.
“Wait till your father comes home.....”
Barr is picking them off like pigeons on the fence boards.
Really? Who has he indicted?

Locking down Wuhan, while keeping the international airport operating to spread the virus was an act on par with Pearl Harbor. So yes, the PRC would do this to ‘change the narrative.’
Make Ambassador Grennel acting director of the FBI, and Michael Flynn acting director of the CIA.
I think that would make a good start.

The article is wrong. He is still Ambassador to Germany. He never gave up that position whike serving as acting DNI.
As per wiki:
Richard Allen Grenell (born September 18, 1966) is an American diplomat, civil servant, and media consultant. He currently serves as the U.S. Ambassador to Germany, and the Special Presidential Envoy for Serbia and Kosovo Peace Negotiations. Grenell briefly served as acting Director of National Intelligence in the Trump administration.
You may save time by simply responding, “OK Karen.”
I didn’t realize that. So he could still be amb to DE while also being the acting FBI Director for 180 days!
Thanks,
Mark
One theory is they may be waiting for Rod Rosenstein's testimony.
Agreed.
Antifa is filled with the crazy.
Be on your toes FRends.
Remember the software updates recently pushed to electronic devices, purportedly for virus contact tracing?
It is time to make the donuts!
