Bill Barr is not going anywhere until he finishes restoring some integrity back to the DOJ.
WHEN he resigns we will all know AFTER it happens.
“...the moment something snapped in American politics..”
‘moment’? Excuse me!!?
The lying, biased media and everyone who conspired in the ‘snap’ … and who profited personally, professionally and immensely WHILE they slow walked these monkeyshines right up to this ‘moment’ are complaining? Seriously??
Pearl clutchers.
DJT needs fighters not Swampers.
Hyperbolic nonsense based on a false premise created by fake news hacks.
“Attacks will continue”.
Seems like this writer doesn’t understand much about the topic of his article.
Namely, that the individuals within government bureaucracy have been educated in the principles of moral relativism and other poison pills from the “me generation” of the 1960s.
This change has threatened to destroy our nation, and President Trump is not letting it happen.
Barr, who we cannot lose, has a point and so does WSJ.
Trump needs to shut up about this!!!!
Trump should tweet.
But he really needs a tweet editor.
Fire every political appointee in the federal government yesterday and start fresh.
Bill Barr’s job is bigger than President Trump, and if he decides to resign, he hurts America, not resident Trump. Bil Barr needs to grow some steel ones and a metal backbone, and do what is right for this country. Ignore what President Trump might say. President Trump’s input should have little to do with his work that needs to be done. Besides that, if President Trump can work through adversity, as no other President has faced, Bill Bar can do the same.
Yes, well, Bill Barr also is slow walking the investigation into the whole fiasco of Comey’s manipulation of the FBI and the Crossfire Hurricane investigation, which was a plan to conduct a coup of a duly elected president of the United States.
As recent events have shown, the DOJ is still full of weaponized Obama operatives who are STILL conducting cases which came out of the whole fiasco, Stone and Flynn and others. THERE NEEDS TO BE A PURGE OF ALL OBAMA APPOINTED LAWYERS AT DOJ AND SENIOR MANAGEMENT OFFICERS OF THE FBI.
The writing is on the wall concerning Bill Barr. he is being far too collegiate in the face of what was sedition and treason by those who swore an oath to uphold the constitution BUT who instead have continued their weaponization of the FBI and DOJ against the electoral will of The PEOPLE, and The People apparently count for nothing.
So President Trump is quite right in publicly indicating that all of these cases including, Page, Manefort and Popodopolus , Flynn and Stone were calculated to create a scenario as op[posed to discovering crimes by the president. The DOJ weaponized lawyers thought they could suborn perjury from these accused, but they failed.
NOW ITS TIME to back the whole series of fake political prosecutions up, regardless of who was involved or how well connected the prosecutors are.WE HAVE FRAUD IN THE FISA COURT! COME ON! They ALL need to go. Some need to be behind bars. And meanwhile Barr continues his exercise of collegiality which will result in a couple of low level whipping boys and them moving on?
NO!
BARR needs to go, its only a question of when. I would say that Rudy Giuliani would make and excellent AG.The dirty offices at DOJ and FBI have become weaponized , rancid toilets full of rats, and a damn good house cleaning is in order , even if the exterminators need to be called in.
Did anyone know that Barr is of Ukrainian Bolshevik ancestry? He’s half or more of what Schiff, Nadler and others are, and a collegiate friend of that dirty named Mueller who sat on his exoneration conclusion for a year or more , hoping to find an accused who would perjure himself against president Trump. DIRTY BASTARDS! Mueller and Barr go to the same church, and their wives are best friends.Barr is no longer needed.
No it is now time for the collegial stage act to exit stage left. The criminals at DOJ, FBI, CIA, NSC, NSA all need to be pursued quickly and relentlessly.
The writing is now on the wall with the McCabe exoneration, they had him cold, but refused to prosecute because he likely threatened to take a lot of others at FBI and DOJ with him, which is what should have happened.
Barr blinked and President Trump knows it.
So - WSJ is so concerned Trump will screw t up and chase Barr away...yeah, and my 1st Mother-in-Law actually loved my ass...
Were they though?
What, apart from the Supreme Court, is the role of the federal judiciary? It seems almost all of their cases are characterized by one or more of the following:
1) Bigfooting local and state judges by overruling, injunction, etc.
2) Redundant prosecutions and/or punishments. How many times do we hear 'federal charges may be brought?' Why? Every state has plenty of laws on its books with near-total overlap with the US code.
but the biggest is:
3) Using the power of the judiciary to enforce the political flavor of the month. The scam is so common we tend not to notice it. The left wants a group to have political clout so that politicians can hammer 'opponents' (who didn't even exist until yesterday) with it. Transgenderism is an ideal current example. Suddenly federal judges, who claim they only take cases that are assigned to them, are in a position to give judicial notice to the 'science' of transgenderism which will inevitably lead to at least one judge claiming this madness has legal standing in discrimination and other law.
Federal cases in particular so often involve a heretofore unknown 'crime' or a complaint brought by political hacks like the ACLU. They magically get placed on the docket and the case is magically sped through the process - because political hacks work in DOJ and the courts too. Suddenly the plight of Johnny showering with Jill at school is all-important and consuming - even though Johnny is just a pawn and the case a Trojan horse for more judicial activism.
The same thing has been done with race, abortion, homosexuality even the so-called religious rights of scumbag convicts in prisons.
The judges know full well that cowardly legislators who fear electoral losses will never take firm positions on many issues - this only bolsters the judges' arrogance as their rulings are usually less a verdict on a case and more an attempt at unilateral and typically irreversible social engineering.
So, as is often the case, Henninger is both wrong and attempting to mislead by praising that which is unworthy of praise.
If the ODNI can be replaced by a non-IC individual; then the Director of the FBI and the AG can also be replaced by a non-law enforcement individual who has already been confirmed by the Senate for something else.
Has PDJT set a precedent here on a new strategy? Circumvent SSCI roadblocks to replace Wray. I’m not ready to give up on Barr yet, but this seems to be a way to get the right people in for the next 210 days.
WSG, FU and Your Paywall.
The federal government and bureaucracies have long been this dysfunctional, arrogant, and power-grubbing.
Trump just provided the people with a light to shine on the mess.
The dim blather to impeach Barr has gone away since the rumors surfaced of his threat to resign. Amazing.
“Moralized hysteria” is a fundamental part of woke culture.
“The moorings have broken, and we are floating free of any guide ropes.”
Written from the perspective of a swamp monster.
To restore balance in the DOJ, a WHOLE LOTTA DEM CONSPIRATORS got to go to jail.
No matter how it’s done.
“I do make his job harder. I do agree with that. I think that’s true. He’s a very straight shooter. We have a great Attorney General, and he’s working very hard. And he’s working against a lot of people that don’t want to see good things happen, in my opinion. [...] he’s a man with great integrity. The Attorney General is a man with incredible integrity.” - http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/chat/3817571/posts
