The Democrats are worried. They should be
American Thinker ^ | 05/03/2019 | Anna L. Stark

Since the inauguration of Donald Trump, the liberal media's daily reporting routinely defaults to an all too familiar word: "bombshell." Most every news segment begins with "bombshell," and it is certain (in their collective opinion) to end the Trump presidency. No luck so far!

Failed media munitions aside, the rise of liberal rhetoric is at near deafening decibels, and for good reason. Attorney General Bill Barr's congressional hearing testimony (on two separate occasions) has no doubt caused Democrats angst and discomfort. In addition, DOJ inspector general Michael Horowitz recently confirmed that his office is continuing its investigation, pertaining to the abuse of FISA (the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act) by officials at the DOJ and FBI. And if that isn't enough, N.C. congressman Mark Meadows referred former Fusion GPS contractor Nellie Ohr to the DOJ for a criminal investigation regarding her testimony to Congress last October.

In a stunning admission during the congressional hearing pertaining to the release of Special Counsel Robert Mueller's report, A.G. Barr came right out and said, "Yes, I think spying did occur" in response to Democrat Senator Shaheen's question about Barr's intention to review prior intelligence agency activities that targeted the Trump campaign. It was not a random, off-the-cuff question proffered by Senator Shaheen. In fact, Democrats were purposefully conducting reconnaissance.

Prior to his declaration about spying, Senator Shaheen queried Barr about the scope of his investigation. In plain language, Barr replied that he's investigating whether or not there was adequate basis for surveillance, whether or not rules were violated or laws broken, and which government agencies were involved. And while Barr went onto say he's not necessarily investigating the FBI, he stated that perhaps there was a failure of leadership by upper-echelon FBI officials.

One of two things is now likely to happen:

1) The Deep State decides to cut its losses by tossing Brennan, Comey, and a couple of other disposable operatives under the bus in the hopes of protecting puppetmasters higher up the chain of command.

2) Failing to take them out legally, DS attempts to take Barr and/or Trump out physically. That will trigger total chaos.

Oh please...we hear ‘bombshell’ plenty here. The media on both sides overuse it. And neither side produces a thing.

I’d say at this point, that a lot of people here have put total faith in barr. Yet, talk aside, he has not done a single thing but violate doj policy by releasing the full mueller report full of salacious accusations against Trump. He is a founding member of the deep state, a bushie and supported jeb. I think a lot of people here on FR are going to be really disappointment.

This sideshow with Barr, similar to other liberal outrages about Trump, simply doesn’t resonate with the American people.

And this sort of thing is the Achilles heel of the media. From their perch in the New York/Washington axis, the things they think are of grave importance and/or scandal about Trump, simply don’t generate the outrage they try to project outward from their liberal point of view.

John F. Kennedy once famously said that the CIA should be broken into a million pieces and be reorganized from top to bottom. Today you could add the politicized FBI, IRS and a few other government agencies to that list.

Worried? ‘Bout what?

The media may be counted on to control the release and interpretation of the facts as they are uncovered by the continuing investigations by the newly reinvigorated DOJ, and the FBI freed from its partisan posturing.

There is going to be a VAST amount of conspiracy revealed, but this may not be made known to the general public for some time to come. Unless somebody remembers what “free press” really means.

You've obviously have missed the entire Trump era. Just electing Trump has totally exposed just how corrupt this government, deep state and the Democrats are. It's unprecedented and historic.

The entire Trump era has been a "Bombshell" that exploded in the leftist faces. There has never been anything like it. Try to pay attention.

The 'deep state' would have to toss a few hundred of their people under the bus. Brennan and Comey are just a tiny bit of the tip of the iceberg. The iceberg includes people in the Obama administration (including Obama) and in the Hillary campaign, and in congress, and in the media.

Besides, Comey and Brennan are not going to take the hit in order to protect the azzes of the higher-ups who went along and probably incited the Trump/Russia collusion farce.

Meadows alleges that she [Nellie Ohr] contradicted herself multiple times during testimony about not having any contacts at the DOJ. In fact, Ohr's emails reveal the names of her DOJ contacts. Not only was she communicating with DOJ contacts; she agreed to meet with them for the purpose of sharing research she conducted on the Trump campaign.

This may help explain the sudden onslaught of the "lying to Congress" meme that they parroted at Barr: an attempt to inoculate the public against this sort of finding. If it was a sworn statement, this was perjury, the sort of perjury you only commit when you feel it's impossible to get caught.

I think Option 1. Option 2 will result in an armed Million Man march on DC

In a sane world that would make sense.

My take:

This is like a poker game. The democrats have been experts at bluffing and the Republicans, even with a superior hand, folded.

Now, the D’s are doing what they always do, and Trump’s not folding. I think this hand will continue until both sides are “all in”.

Then, whichever side wins, things will get very interesting. I believe Trump will win, but if the Dem’s win, we really will be living in Dr. Zhivago without the love triangle.

The Democrats aren’t worried.
Their “friends”, the Bush League Republicans who were complicit in the Kenyanesian Usurpation, will cover for them lest their own culpability be exposed.
