It’s still amazing that dozens of the phones of the Mueller investigation lawyers were wiped. It’s too big of a thing to swallow. The Inspector General wanted to see what the Mueller investigation had been up to, so the Mueller team destroyed all their evidence. Which taxpayers had paid for and which had been used to impeach a president.
The special counsel impeached a president then destroyed the materials they used in the course of building the case for impeachment. It’s astonishing. Corruption of the highest possible order. And they’ll almost certainly get away with it; it’s such a baldly stunning act, and they have full Democratic support, which is no surprise given Hillary, Comey, and her homebrew server that also got wiped.-
I mean Hillary wiped her computer, phone, etc. too. No accountability when you’ve brainwashed half the electorate with cries of racism and the religion of climate change. Just look at the mess that is California.

The problem is that ever 2-3 days, the information released is anything but fake as Trump himself always confirms the worst of it out of his own mouth saying, “So what, what are you going to do about it?”
He’s been doing that since before the Pu22y tapes and now with “What did the president know and when did he know it?” about COVID. He comes right out and admits it all.-
Barr shows his spots on partisan insanity:
Attorney General William Barr is facing criticism for [link=https://www.cnn.com/2020/09/16/politics/barr-justice-department-speech/index.html]comparing calls for a nationwide lockdown to prevent the spread of the coronavirus to slavery[/link]. “Putting a national lockdown, stay-at-home orders, is like house arrest,” he said during an event at Hillsdale College. “Other than slavery, which was a different kind of restraint, this is the greatest intrusion on civil liberties in American history.” Barr also launched into a tirade against the hundreds of Justice Department prosecutors working beneath him, equating them to preschoolers and essentially saying the opinions of politically appointed Justice Department leaders are more important than those of career attorneys who have served through multiple presidencies. Barr also recently suggested [link=https://www.cnn.com/2020/09/16/politics/barr-sedition/index.html]charging violent protesters with the rarely used accusation of sedition[/link] — conspiracy to overthrow the US government.

While I am a federal prosecutor, I am writing to express my own views, clearly not those of the department, on a matter that should concern all citizens: the unprecedented politicization of the office of the attorney general, said James D. Herbert, assistant U.S. attorney for the District of Massachusetts, in a letter to [link=https://www.bostonglobe.com/2020/09/24/opinion/barr-dishonors-justice-department/]The Boston Globe[/link] published Thursday.
Herbert said he felt compelled to speak out against Barr after the attorney general earlier this month [link=https://www.bostonglobe.com/2020/09/16/nation/attorney-general-william-barr-takes-aim-prosecutors-inside-his-own-justice-dept/?event=event12&p1=Article_Inline_Text_Link]lambasted the prosecutors who work for him.[/link]
The attorney general acts as though his job is to serve only the political interests of Donald J. Trump. This is a dangerous abuse of power, Herbert wrote, citing [link=https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/05/us/politics/mueller-report-barr-judge-walton.html]Barrs misleading summary of the Mueller Report[/link] and [link=https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2020/09/04/attorney-general-barrs-false-claims-about-voting-by-mail/?_sp=42b572b0-ba70-4b55-9307-3a4f22d2af8c.1601143836168]his false claims about mail-in voting.[/link]
More recently, Barr took the unprecedented step of [link=https://www.huffpost.com/entry/doj-trump-e-jean-carroll-lawsuit_n_5f5825f9c5b6b48507f8f2b9]throwing the weight of the Justice Department[/link] behind Trump in a lawsuit filed by a rape accuser. Barr also recently [link=https://www.huffpost.com/entry/anarchist-jurisdictions-doj-trump-barr_n_5f68bcb2c5b6de79b678a064]designated[/link] New York City, Seattle and Portland, Oregon, anarchist jurisdictions in a bid to cut federal funding to the cities perceived as liberal.
William Barr has done the presidents bidding at every turn, Herbert wrote. For 30 years I have been proud to say I work for the Department of Justice, but the current attorney general has brought shame on the department he purports to lead.

[link=https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/519224-former-justice-department-lawyers-accuse-barr-of-seeking-to-help][b]Former Justice Department lawyers accuse Barr of using DOJ to undermine fair election[/b]
[/link]
A group of over 1,600 former Justice Department (DOJ) attorneys are accusing Attorney General Bill Barr of seeking to help [link=https://thehill.com/people/donald-trump]President Trump[/link] win reelection.
“We fear that Attorney General Barr intends to use the DOJ’s vast law enforcement powers to undermine our most fundamental democratic value: free and fair elections,” the group wrote [link=https://medium.com/@dojalumni/doj-alumni-open-letter-on-protecting-free-and-fair-elections-78bea0575e1a]in an open letter[/link] published Thursday on Medium.
Among other things, the group says Barrs effort to cast doubt on mail-in voting is an inappropriate use of his authority.
We speak out again now because we fear that Attorney General Barr intends to use the DOJs vast law enforcement powers to undermine our most fundamental democratic value: free and fair elections, the group wrote. He has signaled this intention in myriad ways, from making [link=https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2020/09/04/attorney-general-barrs-false-claims-about-voting-by-mail/]false statements[/link] about the security of mail-in voting from foreign hackers to [link=https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/voting-by-mail-russia-trump-barr/2020/09/04/e3f0e500-ee60-11ea-99a1-71343d03bc29_story.html]falsely suggesting[/link] that mail-in ballots are subject to widespread fraud and coercion.
The group said that there are serious questions about whether there is a legitimate basis for the investigation led by U.S. Attorney [link=https://thehill.com/people/john-durham]John Durham[/link], who is looking into the origins of the Russia investigation.But even if there is a legitimate predicate for the Durham investigation, there is clearly no justification for taking public action on it in such close proximity to the November election, the group wrote. Such a blatant politicization and abuse of federal law enforcement power risks immense and lasting harm to our democracy and to the integrity and reputation of the DOJ.

[b]Durham Probe Not Expected Before Election[/b][/h1]
The presidents hours-long Twitter screed this week about the Russia probe and his allies recent declassification blitzes dont appear to be coincidences, Politico reports.
U.S. Attorney John Durham tasked by Attorney General William Barr to review the 2016-era Russia investigation is not expected to release information related to the probe before Election Day Senate Republicans running similar investigations were told of the intention within the last week and its why theyve been stepping up their releases of declassified documents.-
[h1][b]Trump Slams Barr for Not Prosecuting Prior Administration, calls FBI Director Disappointing[/b][/h1]
President Trump called FBI director Christopher Wray disappointing, criticizing him for not doing more to investigate voter fraud, after Wray said there is no evidence of any coordinated fraud ahead of the election. [link=https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-fbi-director-christopher-wray-disappointing/]CBS News[/link] reports.
Said Trump: Hes been disappointing. He doesnt see the voting ballots as a problem.
Trump also expressed frustration with Attorney General William Barr, arguing that he had not done enough to prosecute the presidents political enemies.Mr. Trump said Barr would either go down in history as “the greatest” attorney general or as a “sad situation,” depending on whether he prosecuted members of the previous administration for launching an investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election.
“I’ll be honest with you. He’s got all the information he needs. They want to get more, more, more. They keep getting more. I said, ‘You don’t need any more,'” Mr. Trump said, arguing that former President Obama and Vice President Joe Biden should be indicted. Barr tapped U.S. Attorney John Durham last year [link=https://www.cbsnews.com/news/durham-aide-resigns-from-justice-department/]to investigate the origins[/link] of the FBI investigation into potential ties between the Trump campaign and Russian officials in 2016.

Career GOP prosecutor who took down Duncan Hunter and Duke Cunningham:
[link=https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/opinion/commentary/story/2020-10-14/william-barr-department-of-justice-doj]https://www.sandiegounion…artment-of-justice-doj[/link]
[h1] I wont work in Attorney General William Barrs Justice Department any longer[/h1] By PHILLIP HALPERN
After 36 years, Im fleeing what was the U.S. Department of Justice where I proudly served 19 different attorneys general and six different presidents. For the last three-plus decades, I have respected our leadership regardless of whether we were led by a Republican or a Democrat. I always believed the departments past leaders were dedicated to the rule of law and the guiding principle that justice is blind. That is a bygone era, but it should not be forgotten.
Maybe I shouldve seen this coming, but like many of my colleagues, I fervently hoped that Attorney General William Barrs preemptive misrepresentation of special counsel Robert Muellers report was an honest mistake or a solitary misstep rather than a deliberate attempt to conceal potential presidential misconduct. After all, Barr has never actually investigated, charged or tried a case. Hes a well-trained bureaucrat but has no actual experience as a prosecutor.
Unfortunately, over the last year, Barrs resentment toward rule-of-law prosecutors became increasingly difficult to ignore, as did his slavish obedience to Donald Trumps will in his selective meddling with the criminal justice system in the Paul Manafort, Michael Flynn and Roger Stone cases. In each of these cases, Barr overruled career prosecutors in order to assist the presidents associates and/or friends, who potentially harbor incriminating information. This career bureaucrat seems determined to turn our democracy into an autocracy.
…I remained in government service this past year at least partly because I was concerned that the department would interfere with the Hunter prosecution in my absence. Unfortunately, many of my colleagues without such a rationale appear to have started abandoning Barrs ship. Equally troubling, highly qualified lawyers appear to be unwilling to apply to be federal prosecutors while Barr remains at the helm. Yet, as I leave government service, I take great comfort in the fact that the career people who remain in the Department of Justice are firmly committed to the rule of law, and are some of the most dedicated, ethical and industrious individuals we have in government. At times like these, I take heart in knowing that they are all committed to preserving and rebuilding the Department of Justice that I was privileged to serve.

[h1][b]How Trump and Barrs October Surprise Went Bust[/b][/h1]
On September 10, Nora Dannehy resigned as the deputy to John Durham, the federal prosecutor investigating the governments probe into the Trump campaign and Russia during the 2016 election. Dannehy left her post and the Justice Department in part because of [link=https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2019/12/attorney-general-william-barr-donald-trump-impeachment-hearings.html]Attorney General William Barr[/link]s pressure on Durham to release a report on his investigations findings before Election Day, according to a person familiar with her thinking. Trump had long been hoping a report out this fall would damage Democrats, including Joe Biden, and help him win reelection. In Trumps terminology, Durhams report would reveal an attempted overthrow of his administration by Democratic insiders. But Justice Department guidelines restrict prosecutors from taking such actions within 60 days of an election because they might affect the outcome of the election. Both Durham and Dannehy believed that if they complied with Barrs demands they would be violating this doctrine, according to two people familiar with their thinking.
…
Shortly after the resignation of his prized deputy and with the election looming on the horizon, Durham phoned Barr. He forcefully told the attorney general that his office would not be releasing a report or taking any other significant public actions before Election Day, according to a person with knowledge of the phone call. Dannehys resignation constituted an implied but unspoken threat to Barr that Durham or others on his team might resign if the attorney general attempted to force the issue, according to a person familiar with Durhams thinking.
…
After hearing there would be no October surprise, Trump excoriated Barr, telling Rush Limbaugh: I think its a terrible thing, and Ill say it to his face.

The comments are especially direct coming from Barr, who has been one of the presidents most ardent allies. Before the election, he had repeatedly raised the notion that mail-in voter fraud could be especially vulnerable to fraud during the coronavirus pandemic as Americans feared going to polls and instead chose to vote by mail.-
No fraud. Dems just changed the rules and Republicans did nothing to stop them and now are crying about it. Same as what happened in 2018 in CA when Dems first started widespread ballot harvesting. This year, Repubs did their own ballot harvesting and did fine.
Dems are always 1 cycle ahead on their scheming then it evens out.-
Nearly every close state that expanded mail-in voting did so through Republican dominated legislatures and many with GOP control over the state voting apparatus … PA, WI, GA
Democrats motivated their base to take advantage of the new rules while Trump told his base *not* to.

Which is ironic because when Barra authorized US attorneys to start looking at the election while it happened there was lots of screaming and yelling about his ‘undemocratic actions’ even leading to the ‘resignation’ of a career prosecutor. Now that he states that there is no evidence of misconduct relating to the election, he is another ‘beacon of truth’.
Funny how that happens.-

Because he doesn’t have the charisma to be a Fox talking head and he’s not running for elected office.
So his best path forward is billing $1,000/hr as a partner in a DC law firm. He can be so toxic that the PR of hiring him makes it impossible to pull off.

Not really. Barr is no ones hero. Its just after so many of Barrs antics in support of Thump, its a refreshing surprise to see that even Barr has his limits as to how far he is willing to support Trumps imaginative Twits. One has to presume even Barr knows Trumps lost all his attempts to overturn the election to award the election to the Loser, Trump himself, and there is no future or gain for Barr to continue the charade.
And Barr knows he will likely be fired before Inauguration Day, to no ones surprise.

We caught them all, Trump said. Were still waiting for a report from a man named Durham who Ive never spoken to and never met. They can go after me before the election as much as they want, but unfortunately Mr. Durham didnt want to go after these peoplebefore the election, so who knows if hell ever even do a report.
Attorney General [link=https://thehill.com/people/william-barr]William Barr[/link] appointed Durham, a prosecutor investigating the origins of the 2016 Russia probe, as special counsel to ensure his investigation continues even after President-elect [link=https://thehill.com/people/joe-biden]Joe Biden[/link] takes office.

He’s joined the people who are mad at Trump after Trump offended them and made fun of them.
Seriously though, I don’t see anything wrong with any of those declarations. Hunter Biden is already under investigation. I’m not a big fan of using special counsels as political tools. Didn’t like it when Dems did it and I don’t like it now.
I’m a bit disappointed we aren’t treating the Russia hack as an attack on the US though. Some retaliation is needed. IMO, a digital attack in 2020 is no different than sinking a boat in 1900.
