Dems Fear Release of Durham's Findings Before the Election
PJ Media ^ | By Rick Moran Jul 30, 2020 3:08 PM EST

Attorney General William Barr reiterated this week that he wouldn’t wait until after the election to release the report of U.S. Attorney John Durham, who is investigating the origins of the Russia collusion story. This has Democrats nervous and preemptively saying that anything Durham finds will be the result of a political witch hunt.

Democrats have a lot invested in the Russian collusion narrative and to have it officially debunked would be very damaging to their election prospects.

Washington Post:

“There’s a real danger, in fact an urgent threat, that anything the Department of Justice does will be timed to aid the president,” Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D- Conn.) said in an interview, adding, “Barr has proven ready, willing and able to distort, distract and deceive.”

At a hearing Tuesday before the House Judiciary Committee, Barr was quizzed briefly by both sides on the matter but offered little to satisfy his questioners.

An “urgent threat”? Well, there’s certainly a threat to the narrative that damaged the Trump presidency, but beyond that, Blumenthal is emitting gas.

Barr’s reticence and Durham’s secrecy about what exactly he’s investigating and where it’s headed stands in shocking contrast to the circus surrounding the Mueller investigation. The volume of leaks to friendly media outlets was astonishingly unprofessional on both the media’s and Mueller’s part. How much of the information from Mueller’s investigation proved to be wrong or inaccurate?

Afraid? Afraid of what?

If they've done nothing wrong there's nothing to fear.

Right?...................

So, what would be the best timing for this?

30 days before the election? - or would that give the DNC media too much time to reframe the narrative?

One week before? - It would get lost in the general DNC media uproar?

What do y'all think?

When Barr was asked about the fact that the Dems might shut down this investigation if they take control and justice won’t be done he stated that he thinks that could happen. From his reaction I would say it will happen.

They have nothing to fear. Durham is another pacifier to convince us they are doing something. He intends to execute the Barr run out the clock strategy.

The deep state is quite safe.

Report? The DoJ does reports? Why? The DoJ is supposed to do indictments and prosecutions when people violate Federal law. The entire coup attempt is easy pickings on violated Federal laws. The DoJ is not being paid to write book reports.

“Dems Fear Release of Durham’s Findings Before the Election”

It could be released before the election - the 2320 election, that is. Dems have nothing to worry about - Durham is nothing but talk as are all the tick-tock any-minute-now claimants.

“Attorney General William Barr reiterated this week that he wouldn’t wait until after the election to release the report of U.S. Attorney John Durham”

I recall discussion here months ago that 1) Durham doesn’t owe anyone a report, and 2) Indictments will prove his efforts.

That we’re being prepared for a “report” tells me we won’t learn anything we didn’t already know, and likely won’t see any perp walks either.

Any respectful rebuttal?

Will it happen? I’m starting to think it will be buried like Slick Willie’s sexcapades with minors.

Should have been release along time ago.

This rope a dope is getting real old. Time to punch back really hard.

Look at the damage they have done to the country. Lay them out.

I hate that I agree with you.

To: Red Badger; All

The LEFTIST DIMocRATS have JUST CAUSE to fear the exposure of the results of the DOJ’s investigations, as they are 100% CORRUPT & can best be described as America’s largest CRIMINAL GANG.
