Good day all. This morning wrote about how the CommuNazis in the House of Representatives want to jail Attorney general William Barr for their idea of what constitutes Contempt of Congress. Well, it looks like A.G. Barr is about to start returning fire. He has appointed a prosecutor to look into how the Russia investigation got started.
The recently concluded Mueller Inquisition did a number of things, none of them expected by the Beltway Uniparty, Never Trumpers and Democrats. First, it showed that President Trump was not colluding with the Russians to steal the election from the Sainted Felonia von Pantsuit. What it did show was that much of what President Trump said about being spied on by the FBI and others was true.
This and other things led to the firing or resignations of a number of senior DOJ and FBI personnel, starting with James Comey. The information publicly available seems to indicate that James Comey and others flat out lied to the court in order to get wiretap warrants against the Trump Transition team as well as members of his campaign. There are a couple of Inspectors General looking into this and their reports are due in the next couple of weeks.
It looks like Attorney General Barr now has sufficient information to have one of the United States Attorneys start looking into things. Here are the details from Fox News:
Attorney General William Barr has appointed a U.S. attorney to examine the origins of the Russia investigation and determine if intelligence collection efforts targeting the Trump campaign were “lawful and appropriate,” a person familiar with the situation told Fox News on Monday evening.
John Durham, the U.S. attorney in Connecticut, will conduct the inquiry, the source said. The move comes as the Trump administration has pushed for answers on why federal authorities conducted the surveillance — as well as whether Democrats were the ones who improperly colluded with foreign actors.
And I think we now know the reason the CommuNazis are so hot to get William Barr. They are terrified of where an actual, honest investigation will lead.
Two sources told Fox News earlier today that Barr was “serious” and had assigned DOJ personnel to the probe. Durham is known as a “hard-charging, bulldog” prosecutor, Fox News is told.
Sources familiar with matter say the focus of the probe includes the pre-transition period — prior to Nov. 7, 2016 — including the use and initiation of informants, as well as potential Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) abuses.
Oh boy, I think this could lead to Obama himself. Anything pre-election is fully his responsibility. It will be interesting how much was shredded starting on November 10th. (I figure three days to sober up and allow the hangovers to fade)
An informant working for U.S. intelligence posed as a Cambridge University research assistant in September 2016 to try extracting any possible ties between the Trump campaign and Russia from George Papadopoulos, then a Trump foreign policy adviser, it emerged earlier this month. Papadopoulos told Fox News the informant tried to “seduce” him as part of the “bizarre” episode.
This is beginning to make Watergate look like a minor incident.
Durham previously has investigated law enforcement corruption, the destruction of CIA videotapes and the Boston FBI office’s relationship with mobsters. He is set to continue to serve as the chief federal prosecutor in Connecticut.
I don’t recall anything regarding the CIA, but I do know about how Whitey Bulger completely subverted the Boston office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. They actually made a movie about it.
Durham’s new review would exist alongside the ongoing probe by DOJ Inspector General (IG) Michael Horowitz, who is continuing to review potential surveillance abuses by the FBI — an investigation that began last March and that Fox News is told is nearing completion.
Horowitz isn’t the only one looking into the actions of the DoJ and FBI during and after the election.
Republicans also have been looking for answers from U.S. Attorney for Utah John Huber, who was appointed a year ago by then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions to review not only surveillance abuses by the FBI and DOJ, but also authorities’ handling of the probe into the Clinton Foundation.
Huber, Republicans have cautioned, apparently has made little progress and has spoken to few key witnesses and whistleblowers. But, in January, then-Acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker reportedly indicated at a private meeting that Huber’s work was continuing apace.
Well Huber was appointed by Sleepy Sessions. However, it’s possible that after Sessions was sent packing, Whitaker met with him and lit a fire under him. However, both IG’s have been very good at keeping the details of their investigations out of the media, which is as it should be.
Democrats have pummeled Barr in frustration following revelations in Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s report that the Trump campaign did not collude with Russian actors, despite numerous offers by Russians to assist the campaign. Mueller’s final report has led to a bitter D.C. battle over the limited number of redactions in the report, which the DOJ says are legally necessary because they pertain to grand jury matters.
And for upholding the laws, the CommuNazis want to throw Attorney General bar into jail. How totalitarian of them.
One of the major parts of this mess were the FISA warrants and how they were obtained. It looks like the entire process was subverted by the DoJ and FBI.
The FISA application cribbed word-for-word from the Washington Post article that claimed the Trump campaign had “worked behind the scenes” to “gut” the GOP platform on Russia and Ukraine. The FBI apparently did not conduct its own independent assessment of the piece, which was labeled an “opinion” column by the Post, and Mueller’s probe ultimately found no wrongdoing by the Trump team.
Additionally, internal FBI text messages exclusively obtained by Fox News earlier this year showed that a senior DOJ official raised concerns about the bias in a key FISA warrant, but that FBI officials pressed on.
Because they felt they had to “Get Trump!!” no matter what. The law, the constitution, none of that had to be allowed to get in the way of defending themselves against a swamp draining interloper.
“There’s a document that’s classified that I’m gonna try to get unclassified that takes the dossier — all the pages of it — and it has verification to one side,” Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures” this weekend. “There really is no verification, other than media reports that were generated by reporters that received the dossier.”
I’m now of the opinion that anyone who was involved with this FISA mess, unless they were saying “Stop, wait, this isn’t right” and was overruled, needs to be fired now. For now, we need to stand back a bit and see what comes out of the Inspectors General investigations. I’m guessing that both IG’s will now be speaking with Durham, since they have no ability to prosecute people.
I also expect to see the Democrats ramping up their screaming, ranting, raving and threats over the summer and fall. If the investigations by the IG’s and soon John Durham start showing a pattern of abuse, and if that also leads to both the Obama White House and Congress, just watch the panic take hold. Barack Obama is no longer President. They have no one in office who is willing to do whatever it takes to protect them. Wouldn’t it be amusing to see Obama’s and Felonia von Pantsuit’s biggest defenders in Congress perp walked into court?
