William Barr is Either the Dirtiest Attorney General in History…or the Dumbest
Just another swamp creature
We go with the former. There is no doubt in our minds that this is a guy who talks a good game and is very effective in telling some people exactly what they want to hear, but at the same time conveying to other people that he intends to do the opposite.
He was the great hope of those of us who thought he was honest, genuine, and truly a person who believed in the law, the US Constitution, and the obligations he assumed when he accepted office as the US Attorney General for the second time.
But there were other people who knew exactly what he was and were confident that he would deliver our nation into their unprincipled hands…and they know who they are.
Although at first, we thought that Mr. Barr had come possibly from a ‘different era’…a time in American history where the two major political parties , while they might differ on the’ how’, were nevertheless thought to be committed to the same values and principles on which America was founded, and to the ‘rule of law’.
We allowed that maybe Barr still thought that most in Washington really were committed to the American “ideal” of freedom and a democratic republic…and there should not exist a “Deep State” which would attempt to overthrow a legitimately elected president.
Obviously we were naive to see William Barr in that light.
He accepted President Trump’s call to be AG. Mr. Trump thought he was the competent, incorruptible, honest person Washington claimed he was and the nation thought he was.
Barr told Congress during his confirmation hearing that he suspected there were people within the Justice Dept. and maybe even the previous administration who had violated their oath and acted inappropriately and possibly illegally. And, he vowed to properly investigate and see that justice was done and, if appropriate, see that those guilty of official wrongdoing were punished.
He said he would thoroughly investigate the so-called “Russia Hoax” and the alleged Hillary email scandal.
After a year of investigation by the highly touted John Durham he appointed, Mr. Barr announced that a full report on the errors and wrongdoing (if any) by the Special Counsel Mueller’s months long probe which resulted in a major disruption of the Trump presidency would be presented… by the ‘end of summer’, well ahead of the November presidential election.
The “end of summer” came and went, then AG Barr announced that he would observe the ‘policy’ that prohibited him from taking any action which might disrupt the forthcoming election.
So there would be no report.
Further, the “Hillary emaii” investigation Barr had mentioned in the aftermath of his confirmation was never mentioned again. Barr did disclose, however, only some in the FBI would face any sanctions whatever if wrongdoing was disclosed in a report. Certainly the previous president and his Vice President, then a presidential candidate, would not be in any legal jeopardy, Barr assured us..
Barr also made a grand flourish with an announcement that Durham had been upgraded to Special Counsel so that he could continue his “investigation” into the “Russia” matter after the change in administrations.
Barr also revealed that, despite over 100 affidavits from people involved in the election oversight, from all over the nation, attesting that there was fraud, and considerable photographic evidence to that effect, Mr. Barr found that there was “no indication of any widespread election fraud” he could see!
And now, this “incorruptible paragon of Justice”, the impeccable, honest, forthright, and courageous ‘man of the law’, has also , as he heads ‘out the door’, announced that he has every confidence that a ‘President Biden’ will see that a full, fair, proper investigation of his son’s potentially criminal “business dealings” with foreign countries, in which the “president” himself has been allegedly implicated, will be done.
Mr. Barr…Good Riddance…but far too late for America. Whether you are the dishonest, corrupt person we think you are, or one of the dumbest men to ever serve in an official capacity, the damage you have done to this nation may never be undone! dlh
The Hill Barr: No need for special counsel to investigate Hunter Biden, election fraud
Attorney General William Barr on Monday said he saw no reason to tap a special counsel to investigate Hunter Biden’s finances or claims of election fraud.
Barr, speaking at a Justice Department press conference about new charges in the Lockerbie bombing case, did not comment extensively on the Hunter Biden investigation but said it was being handled “appropriately.”
“I think to the extent that there’s an investigation I think that it’s being handled responsibly and professionally currently within the department,” Barr, who is leaving office this week, told reporters. “To this point, I have not seen a reason to appoint a special counsel and I have no plan to do so before I leave.”The comments could lead to more friction between Barr and President Trump, who has reportedly discussed pushing for a special counsel to be appointed to take over the investigation into President-elect Joe Biden’s son.The investigation is currently being run out of the U.S. attorney’s office in Delaware and said to relate to Hunter Biden’s foreign work. Hunter Biden acknowledged the existence of the investigation earlier this month, saying it is focused on his tax affairs.
In another rebuke to Trump, Barr also said he saw no need to tap a special counsel to investigate claims of fraud in the presidential election. Trump is said to have discussed the possibility of naming Sidney Powell, a proponent of election-related conspiracy theories, as a special counsel to investigate claims of fraud.
Barr also said there was “no basis” for a federal seizure of voting machines, an idea that has been floated by Trump’s personal attorney Rudy Giuliani, according to The New York Times.”If I thought a special counsel at this stage was the right tool and was appropriate I would name one, but I haven’t and I’m not going to,” Barr told reporters.The news conference is likely Barr’s last before he steps down from his position at the Justice Department. Barr is slated to leave his post on Wednesday, roughly a month before President-elect Biden will take office.
Trump announced last week that Barr would depart his position early. While Trump maintained that the two had a “very good” relationship, the president had grown angry with Barr after he contradicted Trump’s claims about election fraud.Barr told The Associated Press in an interview earlier this month that the Justice Department had not found evidence of widespread fraud that would change the outcome of the election.
“I stand by that statement,” Barr told reporters on Monday, referring to the comments he made in the interview.
