Carl Bernstein: Sources say William Barr preparing to deliver 'evidence' of a 'deep state...

Veteran investigative journalist Carl Bernstein said his sources are telling him that Attorney General William Barr is preparing to push a "deep state" conspiracy to protect President Trump.

During an appearance Thursday on CNN, the famed Watergate sleuth reacted to controversy about an intelligence community whistleblower who filed a complaint alleging Trump improperly leveraged military aid to encourage Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden and his son, Hunter.

Trump attacking the whistleblower's sources as being "close to a spy" and alluding to capital punishment, Bernstein said, provided "real time" evidence of the president's corruption. Additionally, Bernstein said the release of the Trump-Zelensky call transcript and the whistleblower's complaint provided more "terrible evidence of the president’s corruption, of his willingness to undermine the free electoral system in this country, to involve foreign powers in our election, and also to try and get involved at the president’s behest there."

The complaint and the notes of the July 25 call, both released to the public this week, show Trump urged Zelensky to speak with his personal attorney Rudy Giuliani and Barr about investigating the matter related to Joe Biden, who is now a leading Democratic candidate for president.

The Justice Department denies Barr ever spoke to Trump about it, and the attorney general has resisted Democratic calls for him to recuse himself from Ukraine-related investigations, but Bernstein insisted that Trump's comments are proof of the attorney general's "conniving" to put out a narrative about sinister forces within the federal government bureaucracy taking aim at Trump.

The Justice Department also received a criminal referral about a potential campaign finance violation in relation to Trump's phone conversation with Zelensky, but declined to take action after a review.

Plus where was he during the Clinton era when we were getting one “gate” after another for months, years on end?

Carl is an ugly fu.. He’s supposed to be mister investigator when it comes to presidential abuse and he has the biggest travesty of justice right under his nose with the Rat deep state and he obfuscates continuously so his little ego can be massaged by the left wing media. Spit.

I think that it is quite likely that this entire thing is an attempt at a “pre-emptive strike” by the Deep State critters before Bill Barr drops on the nation’s plate the results of the investigation into the MASSIVELY ILLEGAL spying/election tampering committed by the Obamaites against POTUS DJT.

But it will FAIL.

Also it may have been partly designed to knock Biden out of the race as well(as it certainly will hasten his exit).

Sure. The CIA is actively spying on the President. It’s obvious.

I think that was badly worded. I took it to mean Barr is trying to protect Trump by claiming a deep state conspiracy.

So a “deep state” reveal is only for the purpose of protecting President Trump?
What about the rest of us who create things, make profits for our employers, and think Trump is good and Dorkbama the Muslim eunuch quota sewer dweller is slime. And the Hillabeast is pure sludge?
And that journalists live below turds in the septic tanks?
That reveal is for us also.

This guy knows nothing. He always comes to CNN with hysterical nonsense, while his former partner Woodward is much more reasoned and has been very critical of Hillary, Comey and Brennan.

Isn't upholding the Constitution by protecting the president from conspiracies what the DOJ is supposed to do.

They can smear and denigrate Barr all they want. But he won’t be representing the political system. He represents the legal system.

Famed Watergate sleuth. What a crock. Does the Fake News Media think we've forgotten that he was being spoon fed information by an FIB agent named Mark Felt? The Deep State has been in operation at least since the 1970s. Most likely years before that.

Famed Watergate sleuth. Get outta here.

PS Bernstein is so nonchalant about the term “deep state” that he tacitly admits that it is a real thing.

I took it to mean it was Carl Bernstein exposing his Freudian thoughts.

PPS It’s like the Air Force issuing a statement that Martians pose no threat to the operations in area 51. It kind of gives up that argument about the existence of Martians.

Time is running out. If charges are filed soon, a Democrat president in 2021 would drop all charges and stop all investigations into this. I’m not holding my breath.

They are terrified that the DOJ will publicize the leakers and expose the whole sordid plot.

Burnedside is just trying a preemptive strike against the DOJ.
