Oh dear. Now it's official. Barr is officially looking into HOW the investigation into Trump got started and how and why involved upper level FBI officials did what they did. You don't do such a thing unless you already possess clear evidence that some very hinky things indeed occurred. https://thehill.com/homenews/admini...be-fbi-actions-in-russia-investigation-report First Rep. Devin Nunes sends Eight Criminal Referrals To The DOJ this Week and now Barr decides that the investigators do need to be investigated after all. Enjoy.
Uh oh, this may interrupt Comey, Brennan, Clapper and the other slimeball's daily Trump bashing. So much for those sweet CNN gigs and book tours.
It looks like, from just what we know, that there was a politicalization not only at the top of the FBI, but also the CIA, and it also involved Brennan and Clapper. And an abuse of power, a soft coup, against an elected president. It looked like that in early 2017 and nothing has come out to change my mind on this, but only to reinforce my perception. There was possibly some real dirty business going on, and it demands a sufficient investigation, with the perps being subjected to the law, to make an example of those who would try to usurp an election. This is far more consequential and relevant than anything russia did with its social media activity in regards to our system. Like the Smollet hoax, this one has a particular smell about it that is impossible for a critical mind to just dismiss. What we do know, that went on, just from texts from some upper level FBI officials, the mentioned insurance policy should be enough to go after those involved in the FBI. Clearly, there were higher up people at the FBI conspiring against an elected president, and that is unacceptable, and one wonders why these people are not already indicted?
At least one of the three is bound to shoot off his mouth about this. Those are three extraordinarily arrogant men whom have as of yet failed to wrap their overblown egos around the fact that none of them are any longer in any position of authority or power in this government. It should be amusing.
I strongly suspect that the reason that this soft coup almost worked and why it is only now being 'counter' investigated is Barack Obama. The man was seriously protected from any and all serious investigations into himself or the upper levels of his administration for eight straight years and even to the point that it became nearly pathological in nature to protect him from consequences; and all of this will lead directly back to Barack from the standpoint that he encouraged every bit of it to happen in the first place and made it possible for Hillary Clinton's phony Russian supplied dossier on Trump to become the basis of an illegal investigation process. Again, this is only my perspective on this issue; but in addition I suspect that for these very reasons the depth of this investigation is going to be severely limited from the get-go. It cannot be allowed to lead directly back to Obama. Some mid level heads will eventually roll; certain RINOs and their leftist political allies will be slapped on the wrist and strongly admonished to "Never do anything like this again!" and then it will all be allowed to turn into dust in the wind.
Great. Now we have proof he is a Trump stooge and that his summary of the Mueller report is a political hatchet job. Got to love the stupidity of the Trump appointees that they are so dumb they can't resist poisoning their own well.
It's great that our leftists are not the least bit bothered by this investigation into how the investigation really started in the first place considering that we know that it leads directly back to Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. Remember to keep a stiff upper lip as the investigations proceed.
Versus Mueller being Sen Mark Warners stooge? Mueller took Warners criminal referral of Cohen directly to his grand jury. Why are the rules different for Mueller's boss AG Barr? Criminal complaints were lodged with the DOJ, by congressional oversight committee. Why shouldn't they be corroborated and prosecuted?
That's the spirit! Keep that attitude welded in place as this and other investigations into what really happen get into high gear. Be brave soldier!
Gee ... mighta been from Mark Warner's narcissistic mouth. Warner was so impressed with himself that he held a presser in honor of his own splendor.
"Oh dear?" Why has it taken two years to get started investigating? Maybe you say you're investigating to give the impression there's something wrong. Funny how the investigation is beginning at the same time the public will see what Mueller is saying about the Bloviator and his minions. Seems as you don't care about what Mueller finds and only want to go after Trump's critics. Your mentality seems to be a better fit for a dictatorship than a democracy.
Not quite sure why you are so upset. Barr is investigating wrong doing. If Trump was worthy of being non stop investigated for nearly three years then surely others can be investigated as well.
Given all the reckless accusations of malfeasance that have been made, everyone should welcome a DOJ investigation into the Russia investigation itself. Might wash away many of those stains from all the bullshit trump et.al have been flinging at the FBI and the DOJ for the past two years. And if there is anyone who did something illegal, well then the chips fall where they fall.
Why wasn't the DoJ investigating before now? Did they already determine there's no one they can prosecute? Did they drop the ball? Did they open up an investigation at this time for political reasons? The odor coming of this one is unmistakable. See above. If there was something to investigate, they should have already been at it.
Barr just testified that he has not created a panel or committee to investigate the origins. There is already an IG investigation into into and he specifically said he intends to review the material and confirm that the trump campaign surveillance was "adequately founded". Seems the reporting was inaccurate, he is not launching an investigation or striking a panel. He is reviewing the material and awaiting the IG report.
