But, but, I thought Bill Barr was supposed to be the one who is not corrupt!

I went over to the Conservative Treehouse to see what Sundance was writing about, and was hit smack in the face with this headline:

Damn, is Bill Barr Corrupt Also? – DOJ Files New ‘Last Minute’ Motion to Keep Comey FBI Memo Content Hidden From Public…

Sundance explains the issue clearly here.

Will say it again, as I keep saying it, perhaps maybe it will stick. There is no way on this God’s green earth that the DOJ can police itself, investigate itself, and prosecute itself. It is a fool’s errand if anyone in their right mind holds out hope this will happen.

Its up to Trump now. There is no more passing the buck about declassifying. For a lot of people, whether there is any justice occurring with the coup plotters and the DOJ will determine if they will bother voting in 2020, no matter what else Trump may do. This is the redline in the sand.

Is it Barr or is it another rogue DOJ official like the one who claimed that they were going ahead without the citizenship question?

We have to come to the realization that our government is extremely corrupted and Obama had eight years to load these departments up with deep staters especially in the DOJ, FBI, and State department.

Last possible day, on a Friday after the 4th of July = smells more like a rogue official doing this while people are out of town and fewer eyes are on.

We shall see.

No government body should be able to hide malfeasance and criminality by purposefully inserting sources and methods. If AG Barr is half the man he is supposed to be he should not let this behavior stand.

Sorry Joe D and Victoria T. This now casts a large shadow of doubt on all of the comments you make that try to assure us that justice will prevail under AG Barr’s leadership .

I hope the President steps in here and asserts his declassification authority.

Back to Esther:

HERE ARE BARR’S OWN WORDS and one should consider them in light of all that happened with Mueller’s investigation and his subsequent press conference. Congressman Judge Gohmert , a great no-holds barred patriot has said, The People should NOT TRUST ANYONE WHO SUPPORTED OR ENCOURAGED THE MUELLER INVESTIGATION.

January 17, 2019
“I have known Bob Mueller for 30 years,” Barr said. “We worked closely together throughout my previous tenure at the Department of Justice under President Bush. We’ve been friends since. And I have the utmost respect for Bob and his distinguished record of public service. And when he was named special counsel, I said his selection was ‘good news’ and that, knowing him, I HAD CONFIDENCE THAT HE WOULD HANDLE THE MATTER PROPERLY. AND I STILL HAVE THAT CONFIDENCE TODAY”

Trump should have PULLED Barr’s nomination right then and there. Instead he trusted Joe DiGenova. There are far too many people in the Trump orbit advising him to make detrimental picks in his appointments. Even with McConnell playing his games, Trump can do better and should do better with his choice of appointees.
