A federal judge on Thursday sharply criticized Attorney General William Barr’s handling of the report by the special counsel, Robert Mueller, saying that Barr put forward a “distorted” and “misleading” account of its findings and lacked credibility on the topic.

Judge Reggie Walton said Barr could not be trusted and cited “inconsistencies” between his statements about the report when it was secret and its actual contents that turned out to be more damaging to President Donald Trump. Walton said Barr’s “lack of candor” called “into question Attorney General Barr’s credibility and, in turn, the department’s” assurances to the court.

Barr and Durham must be stepping on some toes, maybe Reggie’s!

W. Bush appointee. You know, the “republican” president who refers to Bill Clinton as his brother from another mother.

I guess this judge forgot that Mueller hired 19 hard core Hil LIAR y doners and supporters to investigat Trump and they could not come up with a single charge against him with two years efforts and many millions of dollars spent.

Now that is one big total failure for the left wingers coup attempt.

The only real justice would be to find out each and every person behind this coup attempt and toss all their asses in prison for ever and ever. Make sure they all live out their days in a super max with no human contact.

But lefty judges are still trying to promote the lies of the left.

Maybe he too had something to do with the coup?

I’m more than tired of the left wingers lies, it is time for our system to hold them accountable and get some pay back.

It is only starting. It will be allowed to tun by the DOJ until President Trump is removed from Office. No one involved in the coup will be prosecuted. Count on it. Bank on it.

You cannot get protected information through a FOIA suit whether classified or otherwise sensitive. The statutory language is clear.

The suit was to determine if the redacted parts should be released. Yhe judge had no reason to put any of this crap in the ruling.

So am I FRiend. But this DOJ is not going to let anything be done to any of the coup members.And in the end, they will some way , remove him from Office. The only question is how long will it take.

The article, of course, didn’t even hint at an example.

Chicago Tribune, showing a story by the NYTimes.

I don’t have clarity coming out of this story.

I probably need to go back to requests by the Electronic Privacy Information Center and by Jason Leopold, for the background.

Judge makes his statements before he read the report unredacted ?
