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?

RATs are eternally afraid that someone else will do to them what they do to others.

Releasing BEFORE the election is the only fair thing to do

Yes.

Bait and switch.

What should be indictments and prosecution nows seems universally talked about as a ‘report’.

Willie ‘Where’s your trousers?’ Barr is running a coverup, like Wray.

Barr has had 450 days to indict a coupist. He hasn’t. The proof is in the pudding.

Big lying words from Blumenthal, the cowardly WORM that lied about being in Viet Nam. And he has the hypocritical “guts” to point a finger at ANYONE....POS.

Exactly. “Durham is a prosecutor and they don’t issue reports” seems to have gone down the memory hole. Durham hired a bunch of Democrat prosecutors. That is not something someone does if they intend to indict Obama admin players.

Dems afraid? Why should they be? The DOJ slow walks. The DC district federal judges provide cover. The media reports only Rat spin. They have it made in the shade.

Afraid? Afraid of what?

Exactly The report will not be released before the election, well unless it clears the democrats and calls Trump's behavior in to question.

I wouldn’t call that a rebuttal, but it along with Bilbo’s bagpipes photo seems to sum everything up, doesn’t it?

The unseen hand of Barr and Durham is all over 2019 filings by Sidney Powell, Flynn’s crackerjack atty.

<><> These are the “infamous altered 302s” that we have all been hearing about for the past year that nobody has managed to produce.

<><> By having the evidence introduced in the Flynn case, the argument that Barr’s investigation is simply revenge by President Trump is shot to pieces.

<><> And who better than Sidney Powel to handle the gutting of Andrew Weissmann? She has literally written the book on his corrupt tactics: “Licensed to Lie.”

<><> Powell’s efforts in the Flynn case are only tangentially about exonerating and bringing justice to General Flynn.

<><> In a much more profound sense what she is doing as an integral part of the effort to expose the criminal conspiracy to subvert the office of the then-sitting Presidency of the United States....Barack Obama.

<><> This seditious Obama conspiracy is in fact an unprecedented attempted coup d’etat.

<><> Barr and Durham — and now with the help of Sidney Powell — are without question handling the prosecution of the most important criminal case in the history of the United States.

<><> In this construction, General Michael Flynn is fighting the last and indisputably most important battle of his distinguished military career: The battle to save our Republic. (SOURCE: CFP blogger)

“Don’t worry, they won’t be released.”

It will be a test of just how powerful the deep state is to see if they can prevent the release of the report before the election. Will needs to be released soon before all the absentee and mail in votes are mailed. That is of course assuming that they don’t have all of them votes in hand and in safe keeping until needed.

How would a US Attorney indicting anyone for a Federal Crime be a concern to the Election? Answer - Those running for reelection were/are participants in the illegal activity.

Besides that, Senator Blumenthal, would you WANT to know before an election if the person you are voting for has been indicted?
