"...But that all ended when Barr told Mueller to wrap up the investigation. Now it’s just a short matter of time before Rosenstein resigns and has to fight to keep his freedom. This will be fun to watch, assuming that the networks consider it ‘newsworthy’..." Spot on. Thing is, the time for the networks to ignore this and turn it into non-news has long since passed. They are doubling down on impeachment and obstruction, as people like Dan Bongino has been telling us they would for nearly a year now, and this has taken on a life and momentum of its own.
For going on two years, many of us were begging public figures to say what we knew, that this was a sham, and to publicly ask the pointed hard questions that could not be ignored. Devin Nunes, who has been one public figure out in front, did just that just a few days ago with these questions:
- When and how did you first become aware of any of the information contained in the Steele dossier?
- In what form(s) was the information in the Steele dossier presented to you? By whom? (Please describe each instance)
- Who did you share this information with? When? In what form? (Please describe each instance)
- What officials actions did you take as a result of receiving the information contained in the Steele dossier?
- Did you convene any meetings with the intelligence community and/or law enforcement communities as a result of the information contained in the Steele dossier?
- When did you first learn or come to believe that the Steele dossier was funded by a Democrat-aligned entity?
- When did you first learn or come to believe that the Steele dossier was funded by the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and/or Hillary for America (Clinton campaign)?
- When did you first become aware that the Steele dossier was used to obtain a FISA order on Carter Page?
- Was President Obama briefed on any information contained in the dossier prior to January 5, 2017?
- Did you discuss the information contained in the Steele dossier with any reporters or other representatives of the media? If so, who and when?
To us who have followed this closely, these are not random questions designed to politically damage an adversary, as is usually done.
These are specific questions, if answered under oath in a hearing, will present the person being questioned with the horns of a dilemma: answer honestly, and you expose the cabal and yourself. Lie, and you perjure yourself.
One interesting take on Barr’s testimony that ignited a firestorm regarding spying. Think about it, if there was no spying, and Barr claimed that there was, that would be perjury. On the other hand, if there was spying and Barr denied it, that would also be perjury.
Barr had no choice! And I can’t see him risking years in jail for Trump or anyone else. In other words, for the Democrats, be careful who you drag up there, as you may not like the outcome.
Which then gets me to thinking as to just how many people the Nadler and company will really want to drag up there...maybe it’s all a big bluff, since they already know they won’t find anything - but there could be huge kickback, as we just saw with Barr.
