Has the Deep State beaten Bill Barr?
americanthinker.com ^ | 02/15/2020 | Todd Gregory and Erik Gregory

Willaim Barr assumed the reins of the Department of Justice (DOJ) a year ago, succeeding Jeff Sessions as attorney general (A.G.) of the United States. By universal consensus, the tenure of Sessions was an epochal shipwreck, disfigured as it was by Sessions, who infamously and needlessly recused himself from the entire Deep State Russia Hoax while simultaneously declining to root out Deep State operatives obsessed with removing Trump from office (to say nothing of maintaining and even extending legal protections afforded the likes of Hillary Clinton and Lois Lerner, among other Democrat-friendly government officials). Like Pontius Pilate, Sessions washed his hands of the matter and allowed the coup-plotters of the ironically named Justice Department to proceed against Trump unopposed.

Yep.

They are not going to like us taking our power back. In fact, it is going to have to be ripped from their talons.

These people are as evil as evil gets.

The free ride given to McCabe is the ultimate slap in the face for Americans, who long for “equal justice under the law”. McCabe was the founder of the “insurance policy” to take down the President. Very disappointed in Barr, especially after he cried out to ABC that he can’t get the job done. Maybe, I doubt it though, Durham has something up hi sleeve.

Could people here use lose and loose correctly?

Because it is actually ruining my ability to discern the correct usage of each

It’s not like auto correct or a typo.

Flames will be of no use.

“Why would anyone think he is not deep state?”

Exactly.

“They are not going to like us taking our power back. In fact, it is going to have to be ripped from their talons.”

I’m wondering how that will happen — ripping from their talons. I like the idea, but how? War, I guess, is the only way.

I was going through channels last nite and hit on Ingram show with Jason Chaffetz who was talking about McCabe not being charged and had other people saying it was so messed up since he lied 3-4 times, etc.

Jason mentioned a House Bill, I thought he said 202 that was introduced by Dem and co-sponsored by Republican that the Senate should vote NO on it as it protects DOJ prosecutors from from prosecution.

Here is the bill: I tried to expand to read more but get an error.

https://www.congress.gov/bill/116th-congress/house-bill/202
Shown Here:
Passed House (01/15/2019)
Inspector General Access Act of 2019

This bill transfers responsibility for investigating certain allegations of misconduct from the Department of Justice (DOJ) Office of Professional Responsibility to the DOJ Office of the Inspector General. Specifically, the bill transfers responsibility for allegations relating to a DOJ attorney’s authority to investigate, litigate, or provide legal advice.

Jason also said that he still has faith in Barr.He also then went on about Bloomberg and China is in his pocket.

My thoughts:

I am encouraged by the frenzied efforts of the Left, the Democrats, and the media to destroy Barr. A good sign that he is on the right track and is a threat to the Deep State.

I am going to wait for the end of the movie. I’m not going to be led astray by the earlier scenes in this drama. McCabe is not home free by any means and we won’t know what is going on behind the scenes until the roundup begins.

There’s a fundamental problem at work here that even the best AG can’t fix:

The U.S. Justice Department shouldn’t even exist.

This country got along just fine without one until 1870. Before that, the AG and the U.S. Attorneys dealt almost exclusively in civil matters — because there were hardly any Federal crimes to prosecute other than tax evasion and treason.

The founders of this country would have remained as British subjects if they had known that the Federal government they had created would end up prosecuting U.S. citizens for firearms “crimes” and lying on college applications.

The answer to the question is: I don’t think they had to.

I hear ya. The average IQ on this website seems to have declined by about a point a year since I joined in 2000.

Deep? It is a CRIMINAL STATE not working on our behalf, but for themselves, their families, their friends. Watch them. Listen to them. Their covert clues and overt actions are everyday. 535+++and the top ten in about 350 agencies....that’s about 4000 vs 330 million. It has been the rule throughout history, not the exception...until ours, for a while, we enjoyed as good as anyone ever had it.

Ironically, McCabe lied about his leaks to the media that damaged Hillary Clinton in 2016. LOL.

Bill Barr IS Deep State.

The Bush League Republicans in the Senate would not confirm anyone who wasn’t.

Did we REALLY expect anything else? Now we can expect a more intensified campaign to impeach President Trump, this time with multiple attacks from the Deep State.

Face it, we are ruled, not governed. The Fake Congress of liars, thieves and perverts is more and more hereditary. They will cheat on an unprecedented basis. And they will do it in plain view, daring us to stand up to them.

The fourth box is now open.

I remember when I started to question Sessions. He wasn’t doing anything. But I noticed the great reluctance of the radio hosts to talk about it. Sessions was considered such a good guy. He isn’t. He’s caused a lot of damage. Why?

Then I had hopes in Barr and it is proceeding in exactly the same way. We are supposed to be patient once again. This man of honor will save the day....eventually. Sure.

THE most egregious thing in history was the Kenyanesian Usurpation.

The crimes committed were many.

All made possible by BOTH parties cooperating to violate the Constitution.

Obama is NOT a natural born citizen.

No one born with more than ONE nationality is NATURALLY an American.

Before going off the deep end, McCabe was given a pass only on minor events. It’s the same with Comey. I don’t know if Durham will be able to prove their participation, but if not the only alternative is that they were incompetent boobs who will be laughed at forever.

I’m not giving up yet but after waiting for Huber, then Horowitz and getting no justice, if Durham doesn’t produce mega jail sentences I will probably join you on the permanent non believer side.

Could it be that Barr is another insurance plan to prevent the exposure of the total corruption by the deep state and make sure that President Trump is contained. No indictments, no declassification of FISA documents and now a public admonition by Barr and McConnell to stop tweeting.


Did POTUS tweet about McCabe yesterday? No. There is your answer. There is something very ugly going on behind the scenes inside the beltway and no amount of sunshine pumping will change that fact.
