Bill Barr planning to roll out report to discredit Russia investigation before Thanksgiving: report

Source: Raw Story





Published 4 hours ago on November 6, 2019 By Matthew Chapman


On Wednesday, the Washington Post reported that the Justice Department, under Attorney General William Barr, is working to wrap up and release its report on the beginnings of the FBI’s Russia investigation before Thanksgiving.

The report, based on the work of both U.S. Attorney John Durham and DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz and anticipated eagerly by President Donald Trump’s political allies, is expected to be critical of the process used by investigators — which Trump is likely to use to try to discredit the findings of the Russia probe altogether. Recent reporting has suggested that the DOJ’s probe into the Russia investigation is now also a criminal matter.

A meeting will take place on Wednesday between Barr and Senate Judiciary chairman Lindsey Graham (R-SC) about how this report, which is fraught with classification issues, will be released to the public consistent with national security.

Barr’s singular focus on this investigation has opened him to accusations that he is trying to weaponize the DOJ against law enforcement and intelligence officials who criticized Trump. Barr adamantly denies this, claiming that Durham — a longtime career prosecutor — is independent..............................

I thought that I would never see the day when an entire major party would be working so zealously to undermine our democracy, our Constitution, and our national security. Even watching this for 4 years now, I continue to be shocked by their actions, and terrified about the consequences for all of us.

Will there be enough jail space to house all of these criminals?

For me just watching and listening to Trump in his public statements starting with Helsinki it is OBVIOUS Trumps in bed with the Russians.

His decisions always seem to benefit the Russians (Putin) over U.S., Ukraine, and the Kurds.

Why should I believe the proven liar Trump and now his AG/Private attorney? Barr should be impeached and sent packing. he certainly is not doing any job in the defense of the American people.

I know it's hard to believe but we had a more honest AG in Sessions than Barr will ever be.

Just this sentence below tells me that it is going to be a onesided redacted report hiding behind national security concerns and handle by Lindsey Graham. Two of the most delusional supporters of the traitor D.J.Trump. Why would we expect an unbias finding?

"A meeting will take place on Wednesday between Barr and Senate Judiciary Chairman Lindsey Graham (R-SC) about how this report, which is fraught with classification issues, will be released to the public consistent with national security."

The fact that Barr had to state that Durham was independent, means that Durham is already compromised and has his instructions on how this "investigation" will proceed!

And Horowitz was compromised some time ago...in my opinion!!!

He can't expect ANY help from these agencies nor foreign intelligence agencies. They we hope will bury him!

He is the most dangerous because he believes he is doing gods work.

I’ve read his writings and speeches over the past 30 years. He does not like liberal democracy and believes it is the government’s role to enforce Christian behavior on it citizens. Hell, he gave a speech last month pretty much stating such. He will lie, cheat and steal to accomplish his goals because he thinks he is working on a higher calling. And never expect him to reach a bar too low. Even if it means his political destruction he will not waver because he will then be a martyr.

He truly sees now as the last chance to install his ideal government. Permanently.

I hope I’m well enough known here not to be considered a conspiracy guy. Hell, I’m generally a moderate and have got beat up for it here on occasion.

But I’ve learned one thing. When someone tells you who they are, believe them. If you doubt me go back and read Barr’s writings and speeches. It will chill your soul.

I could give a shit if trump ends up in prison when he loses. But Barr, he will deserve it. He is like the Spanish Inquisition showing up!

to hold Barr to account for his high crimes, lies and outright fabrications. I totally disagree that, quote "for the good of the country" we will not prosecute nor even investigate Barr after he's relieved of command and goes home.

That's totally fucked up as we and the Congress need to make an example of him and other Cabinet and WH staff who disobeyed the law (subpoenas) actually broke laws (too many to count) and lied to the media and all Americans. I'm already totally pissed that not one of our candidates has already come out and clearly said he/she will hold ALL Trumpers who have violated ANY law will be held over for Justice to prevail.

I swear we'll let these bastards off the hook....and regret it for decades, no, a hundred years to come! So sad!

Putin and trump's involvement with Epstein and money laundering, and was Barr's dad really involved with Epstein's underage girls, then was forced into hiring him at his school? Barr being blackmailed? Did Barr know about his dad and Epstein's escapades? I've wondered this is why Barr is doing what he's doing, and risking prison for trump. Was Barr and trump and putin behind Epstein's possible murder? We'll know soon because trump will accuse others of murder and money laundering eventually.

That the article says that they are back at the beginning with the Steele dossier, which was actually ordered by the Republicans??

I dunno, I think they should be worried more about the Ukraine scandal.

This Barr guy threw whatever honor he ever had away all for the likes of tRump. And Donnie Two Scoops would throw him under the bus in a heartbeat if it would get him free from the charges.

Have I told you lately how much I loathe and despise tRump et al and the whole DT party?

I intend to have a joyous holiday season by keeping track of things but concentrating on positivity and making plans for whatever I can do to help my fellow humans and our beloved Planet Earth. Won't be much, but something, even tiny, is better than nothing at all.

I am proud of the Eastern side of the country and all they did to flip the various offices to blue. Blue wave coming.
