The seven crucial takeaways from William Barr’s confirmation hearings
Spectator USA ^ | January 16, 2019 | Allan J. Lichtman

1. Barr will be confirmed

Republicans hold a 53-seat majority in the US Senate. Nothing that emerged in William Barr’s Senate hearing came close to losing him the four GOP votes that would put his confirmation in jeopardy.

The writer is an anti-Trump liberal but the observations are different from the typical MSM lies.

These are the takeaways:

1. Barr will be confirmed

2. Don’t believe a word Barr said

3. Barr will not recuse himself from overseeing Mueller

4. Barr will not fire Mueller

5. Barr will not authorize the indictment of President Trump

6. Congress and the people may never see the final Mueller Report

7. Why Trump nominated Barr

The last point is the most interesting.

"Trump, I would submit, did not nominate Barr to shut down the Mueller investigation, but to shield the president from its consequences by withholding Mueller’s findings as they pertain to Trump himself. Unlike an obvious Trump stooge like Acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker, Barr has the respect, experience, and gravitas to cover this maneuver with seemingly credible legalese and perhaps even defend it successfully before the Supreme Court."

In other words, the results of the Mueller investigation are already a foregone conclusion.

The only purpose of the fraudulent investigation is to facilitate the impeachment Barr's job is simply to prevent the Democrats from using Mueller's fake investigation as a political tool to impeach Trump.

The same judicial committee that went to defcon 1 over Kavanaugh treated Barr with kid gloves.

The dems, rinos and neverTrumpers are pleased as punch with this guy. Deepstate approved.

8. Barr is a Deep State gun-grabber, who enabled Lon Horiuchi to murder Vicki Weaver in cold blood in the Ruby Ridge debacle.

Some have speculated that he may also run anti-trust actions against Google and Facebook.

“credible accusation of sexual assault” — against Kavanaugh.

Right there, the author reveals himself to be completely full of bovine excrement.

Maybe this guy was reading FR around the time Barr was named as the next AG. LOL.

When Barr was announced as Trump's selection for the post, one of the first things I noted as a point in his favor was his well-documented political and legal philosophy of an independent executive branch of the U.S. government.

I saw one of those in 1959 in Nuevo Laredo when I was stationed at Ft Sam Houston in San Antonio. Nuff said.

In 1991, all eight Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee voted to confirm William Barr as Attorney General.

This was the same gang of Democrats who destroyed Robert Bork, and tried to destroy Clarence Thomas.

But they voted 8-0 to confirm William Barr!

Author is running a disinformation champaign on conservatives - “Swampy” Barr will do everything in his power to make his best buddy Mueller look good and grant all the wishes of all the swamp critters before going on to his 2A gun grab agenda.

The DJT impeachment proceedings based on the premise he is Russian spy will begin. Pence to follow. The Senate will see the handwriting and do the swamp’s bidding ... President Pelosi will be crowned before the year is out.

I’m not sure it would be possible to keep the Mueller report confidential.
