Bill Barr re-emerges, spotlights total corruption of the Department of Justice
American Thinker ^ | 07/07/2021 | Todd Gregory and Erik Gregory

Six months after resigning as attorney general, William Barr recently re-entered the spotlight, reportedly telling friendly news correspondent Jonathan Karl that allegations of vote fraud during the 2020 election are bull. Now that civilian Bill Barr has jumped back into the political fray, it is time to take unflinching stock of the degraded Department of Justice (DOJ) and how it became even further corrupted during Barr's reign.

In reviewing the attorney general's passivity during his tenure, it is difficult to escape the conclusion that Barr's inaction was born of anything other than profound fear of the progressive, hydra-headed agency he ostensibly led.

Indeed, during his nearly two years on the job, the nation's top cop repeatedly gave interviews in which he alluded to criminal wrongdoing on the part of the Obama administration and senior leaders of Obama's intelligence agencies, which spied on the Trump campaign and later sought to remove Trump from office on a variety of increasingly implausible and comically specious pretexts.

Yet, despite all of Barr's talk, there was never any accountability for the malefactors.

Given the elastic timeframes and endless delays concluding the John Durham–led probe into the origins of the Russia hoax-cum-coup that crippled Trump's presidency, it is worth asking whether Barr cravenly provided the president and the public with false assurances that he and Durham were indeed making a good-faith effort to root out the rampant corruption within the DOJ, coupled with false promises that the coup's participants would be brought to justice. Did Barr make a calculated decision to buy time, carrying water for the administrative state he so fears, while deliberately running out the clock on President Trump? Did Barr bank his hopes on Trump's defeat in the 2020 election so the entire five-year, government-wide effort to defenestrate Trump could be flushed away

In reviewing nearly two years of the Barr-led DOJ, it is instructive to reflect on the two-tiered nature of justice at the DOJ.

Barr had two years to do something about corruption at the DoJ.
He needs to shut up and go away.

CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING CASES SWEPT UNDER THE RUG BY THE DOJ:

* Several mysterious deaths remain unexplained, among them the 2016 murder of Democrat operative Seth Rich

* The “suicides” ( note the quotes ) of the politically connected pedophile Jeffrey Epstein and the Department of Homeland Security whistleblower Philip Haney. What did these seemingly unrelated events have in common? The suddenly deceased were all in a position to reveal enormously incriminating information about prominent Democrats.

It is not a “conspiracy theory” to observe that the DOJ seems to have no interest in investigating these highly suspicious deaths.

* Sitting idly on the information gleaned from Hunter Biden’s laptop over the past two years, likely in an effort to conceal the evident corruption of Democrat President Joe Biden.

* No concern over the immigration fraud and ballot-harvesting activities of prominent Democrats like Ilhan Omar.

* No interest in infiltrating and bringing to justice criminal groups like Antifa, which deploy violent left-wing shock troops to wreak havoc on the nation’s streets.

* Nearly two years after his appointment to investigate the origins of the Russia hoax, Durham has secured one minor guilty plea (a false statement charge) from somebody named Kevin Clinesmith, more of an extra in a Greek chorus than a key player in the five-year (and counting) effort to destroy Trump.

* The REAL key players, former president Barack Obama, Joe Biden, John Brennan, James Clapper, James Comey, and Andrew McCabe, are at no risk of being found culpable for any malfeasance.

Julian Assange and Edward Snowden, who essentially forfeited their lives to expose massive surveillance state abuses during the Obama era, never got the pardons they deserved. But they still have their honor and their dignity. The same cannot be said of Bill Barr.

I am reminded of JFK's book,"Profiles in Courage".

Courage is not a virtue shared by many in the District of Corruption.

No question if you from any establishment Republicans that someone is above reproach when they get nominated for a political position like Bill Barr expect them to be terrible anyone said to be terrible then go with the the terrible nominee

RE: I am reminded of JFK’s book,”Profiles in Courage”.

And I am reminded that the book was mostly ghost written.

What made it the progressive, hydra-headed agency? People at the top. That simple.

For future reference, when a Republican President appoints a new agency head, the first thing the agency head does is fires every leftist in the agency. They go into the job with a list and it is done on day one. Democrats have been doing this for years with conservatives. It is not mean. It is not unjust. It is doing the will of voters. If new agency heads do not do this, the President needs to fire them on day two.

I hope PDJT has learned this lesson.

I sincerely hope that Barr carries a heavy rock and a length of string on him at all times. Just in case the skies open up and there comes a real turd floater.

Yes, we have a two-tiered justice system.

PROOF?

Roger Stone vs Hunter Biden

Compare the alleged crimes and treatment by the Department of Justice.

Barr was of few words and even less action.

Rising public distrust of the Department he headed speaks volumes about his pathetic tenure.

In criminal organizations, you can’t touch a “made man”.

He was the head of the DOJ. He could have cleaned house and Trump would have let him. But he didnt. He refused to investigate the biden laptop so he did not interfere with the election. BS. The truth in that laptop would have and should destroy biden. And he knew it. And he is still saying no fraud. While looking at all the fraud in these counties of states. How about the video of pulling ballots from under the table on the middle of the night and counting with no one around. Some stacks more than once. You piece of crap. Trader. You stabbed Trump multiple times and you know it. GO WRITE A BOOK AND MAKE MILLIONS.

John F. Kennedy’s Pulitzer Prize-winning book was actually ghost-written by his speechwriter Theodore Sorenson. This was denied for years but Sorenson admitted to writing large sections of the book in his 2009 autobiography, "Counselor". JFK was as dirty and phony as the rest of his clan.

The entire Barr tenure has been a huge disappointment.

There were a lot of people like Joe DiGenova and Victoria Toensing who were big advocates of Bill Barr. I’m not sure who to listen to anymore.

...that he failed to root out and prosecute when he had the authority to do so.
