AG Barr is NOT OUR FRIEND

[Jmac00]

and Trump is considering more gun laws?

DOJ sends gun legislation package to White House as debate rages over mass shootings

 

[prambo]

Barr is just another Deep State operative...always has been.

He's burying Obola's scandals in the biggest hole he can find and paving it over.

 

[vanderblack]

But but but, they need to do SOMETHING. You know, so it looks like they are doing something vs nothing, even if what they do has no effect. At least they did something.

the government is your friend when he's digging a gun in your back while other hand is in your pocket

I never, ever, ever understand this line of reasoning.

If he's a "deep state operative" and part of the "vast conspiracy" to thwart Trump at every turn- why in God's name did Trump nominate him for the position in the first place?

Is it just that EVERYBODY is part of the "conspiracy", that Trunp is just a terrible judge of character, or is the conspiracy theory nonsense exactly that- nonsense?

I lean toward options two and three personally.

Barr is not a deep state operative .
Barr can still be “not our friend”.

It’s not exclusive to be one or the other.

 

[ArmedCorgi]

Didn't Trump ask the DOJ for these? If that is the case then Barr, who very well may not be pro gun, is doing his job.

We also have no idea what was sent to Trump.

If what is stated in the article is true, that Trump has backed off of background checks and red flag laws to rather focus on mental health then maybe it's not what we think. Of course the dems are all knee jerking to their stand by bills written 20 years ago for an instance such as this and the media is supporting them because it is on their agenda. Perhaps Trump isn't looking to go that route.....I don't know. I don't know what was included in those proposals handed over by the DOJ.

I had my hopes up about a new AG and I have lost my faith with Barr. After Sessions left Trumps new pick with Barr should have been handing out Indictments like CANDY! The chant of "Lock her up" should have paved the way to Justice if actually acted on. Nothing!! Just sits on his hands like Sessions. He has had more then enough time to act, instead, infringe on more rights on a false sense of security. Fuck Him!

I've read and listened to enough commentary that makes me believe the decision not to indict comey for his lies about the confidential memos was the right call. Supposedly a much stronger case can be made for his involvement in the FISA warrants and the use of the steele dossier. If there are no indictments once these reports are released then there will be cause to criticize Barr and Horowitz.

I believe there is an incredible flurry of behind the scenes, backstabbing power grabbing going on right now. To give Barr some credit his team must be very methodical and very buttoned up if they plan to issue indictments. Part of me thinks the investigation is taking so long because they keep uncovering new information which requires more time to get through. Some of the weasels are beginning to talk and this leads them to mid level people who may then implicate comey, brennan and others. For example - there are reports the investigative team has spent weeks in europe trying to get to the bottom of the mifsud issue and the overall involvement of foreign intelligence services in the conspiracy.

There is an interesting dynamic going on between Sean Hannity and Comey. Hannity to his credit has not let this issue go and keeps it alive every week. He hammers comey repeatedly and calls him a liar and someone that should be charged for multiple violations. And yet comey by all accounts seems completely unfazed by any of this and continues to tweet on this topic. Sooner or later one of these guys will have their world view turned upside down. Hannity seems to have the facts but comey's smug public persona would indicate he is not afraid of the outcome. Strange times indeed.

 

[holdover]

You guys make me laugh,

 

[holdover]

They are fucking Immune! Don't ya see that yet? they are never ever ever ever going to be charged ever. Lucy is never going to hold the ball for Charlie brown .

 

[Defilade]

Yes, it's all highjacked. SCOTUS steps up with fucking Birthday cake rulings meanwhile......Safe ACT has whiskers already.

 

[Truebeliever]

Guys, Comey has been a Washington player among players to get to the top of the FBI.
He knows how to cover his tracks with legal Mumbo- jumbo as he did with his leaks. He gave the guy who leaked for him a security clearance so he technically didn’t leak classified material to an unauthorized person.

When Eric Holder corrupted the DOJ they knew what they were doing.

It is a long game Barr is fighting and has to weed out snakes in his own garden, not knowing who to trust.

Remember that the old Obama lawyer just won his case against the DOJ for involvement in Ukraine. Barr has to careful that his own prosecutor team didn’t sink their own case so they can’t go after him again( double jeopardy).

Also , it has to be a case so strong that even democrats will wake up to the corruption of the Obama DOJ/Intel heads.

In addition, evidence and people who could shed light on this stuff are disappearing. Imagine in the IG had seized everything before telling Mueller about the Strozk-page texts. They can’t Telegraph their moves.

Be patient.

Why not BOTH

 

[fresch]

They need to hurry up before the dirt naps start again!

 

[tirwin1]

Why not BOTH

Because he may not be convicted. The last thing we want is that asshole going around proclaiming his innocence.

I'll give it a little more time. The jury in my mind is still out. I hope and pray he will put the our Republic above the political dead end, to where we are headed.
