I don’t think it will be Sessions 2.0

*************

Neither do I. To be another Sessions he’d have to do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING for two years.

That no show Utah US Attorney investigator John Huber assigned by Sessions to investigate Hillary who did not investigate anything, not a witness, not a document and just showed up to pick up his paycheck now needs to be fired and have his salary payments clawed back.

I’m just going to say it. Barr is Jeff Sessions 2.0. [President Trump is an idiot]... Give me a break.

I would suggest that you read Sun Tzu’s The Art of War and then Donald Trump’s The Art of The Deal and recalculate. All war is deception, and President Trump knows what he is doing. Hang in there!

Any one appointed by Sessions cannot be trusted. Sessions was a Deep State plant from the get go. Nobody could be that passive in the face of such massive corruption — unless it was intentional.

Durham, unlike the IG, has the full power of the DOJ to blast the deep state to smithereens.

Is Barr signalling a lack of confidence in Huber and Horowitz and applying pressure on both to do their job, saying in effect that someone will be double checking your work to make sure there’s a thorough investigation?

That's my thought too.

****************

He has promised repeatedly to declassify the FISA docs yet that still hasn’t happened. He could have done it by now if he really wanted to. Something very curious about this. Not saying he doesn’t know what he’s doing; just wondering why he keeps deferring.

Nothing wrong with colluding with her.

I’m guessing he is using it as a “political weapon” for the 2020 “October Surprise” which I was hoping he wouldn’t have to stoop to that level and instead bring on the indictments as the fallout from that would easily win him the election of 2020, without having to as the liberals will call it a “cheap stunt”.

What task did Sessions assign to Durham?

All that was acknowledged in the transcript of James Baker’s closed door testimony is that USA Durham was conducting a criminal investigation into FBI leaks and that Baker was among the targets of his investigation. That hearing was in October, when Sessions was still AG, so Durham must have already been assigned to that task by Sessions.

What we don’t know is whether AG Barr has broadened Durham’s scope, or sharpened it, or if nothing has actually changed except for a calculated, public tightening of the screws. Every observable action provokes a reaction...

From Wikipedia:

Amid allegations that FBI informants James “Whitey” Bulger and Stephen “The Rifleman” Flemmi had corrupted their handlers, US Attorney General Janet Reno named Durham special prosecutor in 1999. He oversaw a task force of FBI agents brought in from other offices to investigate the Boston office’s handling of informants.[8]

In December 2000, Durham revealed secret FBI documents that convinced a judge to vacate the 1968 murder convictions of Enrico Tameleo, Joseph Salvati, Peter Limone and Louis Greco because they had been framed by the agency. In 2007, the documents helped Salvati, Limone, and the families of the two other men who had died in prison win a $101.7 million civil judgment against the government.[8]

In 2002, Durham helped secure the conviction of retired FBI agent John J. Connolly Jr., who was sentenced to 10 years in prison on federal racketeering charges for protecting Bulger and Flemmi from prosecution and warning Bulger to flee just before the gangster’s 1995 indictment.[8]

Durham’s task force also gathered evidence against retired FBI agent H. Paul Rico who was indicted in Oklahoma on state charges that he helped Bulger and Flemmi kill a Tulsa businessman in 1981. Rico died in 2004 before the case went to trial.[8]

Durham also led a series of high-profile prosecutions in Connecticut against the New England Mafia and corrupt politicians, including former governor John G. Rowland.[8]

Spygate is such a serious matter for the country the FISA docs should to be declassified and released without further delay because of their gravity and the urgency of cleaning up the government. The country needs to see exactly what happened, who was involved, how they did it, and how it was covered up. It needs to be exposed. Its too important to be used as a political weapon.

Just my humble opinion.

This from Wikipedia is very encouraging as it indicates Durham has substantial experience investigating the Deep State. Barr probably chose him for that very reason, which suggests that Barr is serious about this.

"He is best known for leading an inquiry into allegations that FBI agents and Boston police had ties with the mob and his appointment as special prosecutor regarding the 2005 CIA interrogation tapes destruction."
