AG Barr Permits Release of Previously Redacted Steele Details
Newsmax ^ | Monday, 09 December 2019 09:32 AM | By Brian Freeman |

Attorney General William Barr decided to release information about former FBI informant Christopher Steele that had been redacted in Justice Department inspector general Michael Horowitz's report that's being made public on Monday investigating the Russian probe, The New York Times reported.

Steele, who compiled a dossier of unverified information about President Donald Trump that FBI officials used to some extent in order to seek a court order for surveillance of former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page, was, in a highly unusual move, only informed on the eve of the report's release that the previously blacked out information would be made public and was not given a chance to comment on it.

The president and his supporters have used the FBI's reliance on Steele's disputed dossier to make more widespread accusations about the fairness of the decision to investigate Trump at all. Critics have especially pointed to the fact that Steele compiled the dossier for a research company that was hired by lawyers who worked for Hillary Clinton's campaign and the Democratic National Committee.

Yes. America is dead because our government has been totally corrupted and hi-jacked.

I see no way possible for recovery from our current state where the Dems are controlled by the media and refuse to take abandon their constitutional responsibilities and substituted them with their hearings based on lies.

Why yes indeed they DO think we are that stupid.

Also...... I’m in Wisconsin, sneaky, creepy, Romney buddy Paul Ryan was not MY rep, but I just KNOW he handed the House over to the Dems on purpose. He did NOTHING to stop the steam roll. He did nothing to help PDJT, nothing at all. I’ll bet he even rejoiced when the House went to the Dems. His buddy Romney was put in the Senate to vote against Trump. IMHO. I’m disgusted to say he was/is from Wisconsin.

The RINOS are just as deep in this Ukraine mess as the Dems. Those sons of Biden, J f’n Kerry, Pelosi and Romney all received kickbacks, we understand from Ukraine. And these scum in Congress keep wasting out moola demanding we pay more in taxes, don’t balance the budget, waste millions on covering their backsides.

YES, I’m ranting. Also while we’re on waste, remember Ryan said he knew nothing about the $17 million that the congress spent on covering sexual misconduct? “I read it in the paper”. WHO authorized those payments, to whom?

Grrrrrr...

WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF POLITICAL CIVIL WAR..... its not on the streets yet but the 2020 election will perhaps be the shot that is heard across the USA if they don’t stop this BS today.

Very sad day for America.

Yes - we are at war.

Sad. But just as sad that most do not realize it.

From my view, violence is inevitable. Only the time is unknown.

No, not only the time.

The outcome is also unknown.

What the Dems are undertaking in the House right now is the outright attempt to take over our nation.......by deception now......but when that won’t work -

No one knows.......

If you look what happened in Orange County, CA it is a case study in BALLOT HARVESTING leading the the THEFT by the DemonRats of a national election..

As I said after the election, either the demographic has taken a sharp turn left or the democrats have perfected vote stealing, neither is easy to remedy, but we certainly have to try. We have gained nothing on either problem.

***I believe the DemonRats STOLE the midterms to seize control of the House for the very purpose of IMPEACHING Trump***

And when this impeachment pitch fails they will file a new impeachment charge... and more after that.

I think it was Ken Starr who said the Dems have weaponized impeachment. WHY?

The Dems are trying to eliminate the separation of powers, to make POTUS a servant of the House majority. The POTUS would have to worry if his/her words or actions might lead to impeachment on their name in history.

IOW, they are constitutionally turning our democratic Republic into a parliamentary system, where the Prez serves at the pleasure of the House majority. . . . and it would be Constitutional - strictly speaking.

With their impeachment farce AND through the courts, the DemonRats have set out to CRIMINALIZE TRUMP'S AUTHORITY since day 1 of his inauguration.

Knee-capping of the Executive Branch, if you will.

But I hope you realize that they are overthrowing our form of constitutional government... they want to control all future presidents also... just like a parliamentary system.
