Next Monday is the last day of summer, Mr. Barr. – I note that this morning because back in August, Attorney General William Barr famously stated that John Durham’s investigation would bear some fruit before summer was over. Barr repeated that prediction in more than one interview, in fact.
Well, we’re pushing it right up to the deadline, and Durham has produced diddly squat, to use a common flyover country colloquialism. No indictments, no arrests, no midnight raids of elderly people’s homes of the sort made popular when Robert Mueller and thus effectively ran the DOJ during from May 2017 through March 2019. Not even a “Durham Report” which at this point would have value only in the sense that it would serve to inform the curious among us, which of course would exclude the entire national news media establishment.
Barr made a somewhat whiny speech at an event sponsored by Hillsdale College on Wednesday. In that speech he complained about career DOJ line prosecutors – the lowest level of prosecutor at DOJ – of often being out of control “headhunters” who go after individuals for mainly political reasons. You don’t say, Mr. AG? What tipped you off on that one?
Mr. Barr did not, however, go onto explain why, in his 20 months as AG, he has done nothing to resolve that problem. You know, like maybe fire some of those problem employees. Most likely, the answer is that he has not done that because doing it would be politically difficult. The entire corrupt media establishment would go after him with its collective hair on fire, just as these Democrat toadies will go after him and Durham should Durham ever actually do something real. Like, you know, prosecute the treasonous traitors who spent three solid years trying to execute a coup d’etat on U.S. soil.
The Democrat/Media Axis of Propaganda already has its narrative in place: Any move by Barr/Durham at this point to actually attempt to exact a little real justice will be portrayed as “election interference” by the same media establishment that studiously ignored the Obama Administration’s spying on the Trump campaign and attempts to fix the election for Hillary Clinton in 2016. Those efforts went right up to Election Day that year, and once the election had come and gone, were immediately turned into an outright coup attempt.
That’s all clear on the public record now, and millions of Americans are fully aware of it. As is pretty much always the case in America today, the truth is exactly the opposite of what our Nazi-style media says: By doing nothing, Barr and Durham are in fact influencing the election in favor of the Democrats who are guilty, including Quid Pro Joe Biden himself.
Even with all of his do-nothingness thus far on Obamagate and Spygate, Barr does continue to show flashes of wanting to do the right thing. In that same speech, for example, Barr referred to the China Virus lockdowns and mask order as being “the greatest intrusion on civil liberties in American history” outside of slavery. Truer words were never spoken. But again, what is DOJ doing to push back on the despot governors, mayors and county judges invoking those patently unconstitutional order?
During an interview with Martha MacAllum on Fox News this week, Barr confirmed what I and others have been writing about for years now, that George Soros is subverting the American justice system by funding corrupt district attorneys who simply refuse to enforce the law. Interestingly, when Newt Gingrich made the same exact point on Fox’s “Outnumbered” show yesterday, he was silenced by the CNN-ish host and other panelists:
The New York Times has a breathless piece this morning bashing Barr for advising prosecutors to consider pursuing sedition charges against rioters and those who organized the riots during a meeting last week. In the same meeting, the Times alleges that Barr also “asked prosecutors in the Justice Department’s civil rights division to explore whether they could bring criminal charges against Mayor Jenny Durkan of Seattle for allowing some residents to establish a police-free protest zone near the city’s downtown for weeks this summer…”.
Good for him, if true. Of course, the Times story is based purely on anonymous “sources” who may or may not exist, so there is no way to know whether the news-faking paper of record just made the whole thing up.
But if it is true, it shows that Barr retains the right instincts, though he still has a problem taking action on them.
Interestingly, pretty much every other major media outlet has its own Barr-bashing report out this morning. A Google search reveals pieces including original reporting from CBS, NBC, CNN, MSNBC, the Washington Post and the Wall Street Journal, all going after the Attorney General for some instance or another of straying from the Democrat/Media preferred narrative. These are not just pieces echoing the New York Times – they all include their own themes and perceived Barr missteps.
What this looks like is a classic effort by the Nazi-style propaganda outlets to set a narrative in advance. That indicates to me that all of these corrupt media outlets believe that Barr and Durham are indeed about to drop a hammer or two soon. Maybe even on or before Barr’s self-imposed deadline of next Monday.
That would be nice.
That is all.
Nice Article - who did you steal it from?
I don’t think they can release any final investigation report 60 days before an election. So no, nothing “finalized, formally” will be announced before election.
Did you see where Radcliff has now reversed himself on giving in person briefings to Senate Intel Committee? Yep Senate Dems through a fit as did several Repubs and so now he is back to in person briefings. Another cave.
The end of the summer? As in this coming Tuesday?
Correct. Reports are Barr has told his team Obama, Biden and Comey are off limits, so all the jaw flapping is about nothing anyway.
A Nerf hammer and a rubber nail. But I hope its a 20lb sledge hammer and a railroad spike.
I see Comey is going to testify now due to subpoena. I’m sure it will be another fluff piece for Comey.
Absolutely NO faith that anything of significance will some out of Barr/Durham. Most important product to date: hot air
Tick tock....Bombshell...BOOM!...etc.
I like that. :)

That’s really not a law or a rule of any kind, it’s been more of a courtesy. I really don’t think Barr or Durham care about a time limit.
Any hope of bringing any of these felons to justice rested on Barr and Graham. Funny, except the Constitution has crashed and is burning, in part, because of the inaction. I can’t wait to see Barr and the DOJ spring into action to protect the integrity of the 2020 election. The worst, most damaging, from Barr is yet to come.
More likely to see nothing .... wrong party .... ask Richard M. Nixon
No.
Barr and Graham? Too of the biggest, longest-term, Deep State stooges around!
And I fear you’re right. The record of hard cash, bricks, etc., flowing to highly trained “rioters” goes back to when they started in May. The DoJ assuredly knew who was orchestrating it back then.
And nothing done. Barr is a Bush man and you don’t get more Deep State corrupt than the Bushes.
Even Fox News cuts off Gringrich for mentioning Soros.
Durham is not a Special Prosecutor. He has no business issuing any report. His job was to gather sufficient evidence, that was all placed in his lap, and forward indictments. We are being set up for another Hillary style: “although mistakes were made and rules were broken, there is no reasonable prospect of a conviction.” This will give the green light to Comey, Strzok, Brennan, Mueller, et al to claim victory and continue their slander of the President on every MSM outlet up to the Election Day.
Members of “The Club” will always protect it’s members. No matter what political affiliation. They all know that some day their number may come up.

No, he's not.
