DC Tom Posted May 13, 2019 Posted May 13, 2019 55 minutes ago, SoCal Deek said: The press is given access in a way that the average free speech citizen is not. They have a responsibility to report the truth just like a witness in court does. We’ve moved far away from that basic principle now. No, they don't have any such responsibility. They are not "The Fourth Estate," they do not represent the American people or their interests, and they have First Amendment protection that is not just separate from the public's freedom of speech, but is broader. What you're advocating for is throwing away completely the press's First Amendment protection...and if you're going to discard laws and principles based on nothing more than their inconvenience, just give up and vote Democrat

Why is he running and hiding from a co-equal branch of government. He acts more like he has something to hide. You are being intellectually dishonest per your usual practice. Confronting in a non-trial setting will just tip off those in on a political operation as to potential future charges so they can plan a counter attack. Let a sanitized DOJ, FBI, etc. gather evidence then bring formal charges in court. 1

B-Man Posted May 13, 2019 Posted May 13, 2019 ROGER KIMBALL: “Watching the histrionics of the Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee (as well as the Democrats on its Senate counterpart, especially the cognitively challenged Mazie Hirono), I am somewhat at a loss to explain their behavior.” “But here’s the truth of the matter. William Barr has pledged to answer the following questions: ‘How did the Trump-Russia investigation get started? Who started it? On what authority? For what reason? What was the rationale for the FISA warrants taken out against Carter Page and renewed several times? It has been alleged that assets of the DOJ spied on the Trump campaign: did they? The entire investigation was plagued by leaks of classified information, a felony: who leaked it that information? Who, for example, leaked the transcript of the phone call between Michael Flynn, Trump’s first, ill-fated director of the National Security Council and the Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak? There is only a small circle of possible candidates.’ If William Barr’s behavior over the last month or two doesn’t convince you that he excels in doggedness and is very likely to answer all of these questions, take a look at his performance in that 1991 clip I linked to above. The man is part terrier (and another part Sphinx). He will get to the bottom of this whole rotten story.” Well, that’s probably the reason for the histrionics. It looks as if the whole collusion narrative was designed to distract from what Barr is going to uncover. . 1

I would imagine court action would start before then but the unlimited amount of evidence should make it last until well past the 2020 election. A knock out blow to the Clinton's would be nice for around Nov 1, 2020.

(See Page 37) Mr. Jordan: Just to clarify for us, you're, counsel, advising Mr. Baker not to answer that question because of --not because of it's classified, not because of any classification concerns, but because there is an ongoing investigation by whom? Mr. Levin: The Justice Department.Mr. Jordan.I mean, is the inspector general looking at this or is this-- Mr. Levin: No, it's Mr.John Durham, a prosecutor. Mr. Jordan: Mr.Huber.

Exactly, he's already been working on this pre Barr. All the investigations have (because this always was a counterintelligence sting). The timing of all this, and from everything else I'm hearing from people in DC, says to me that Mr. Horowitz has already been handing down indictments which Durham has been handling. Comey/Baker are the most likely first targets - which explains why they've been out in front of the media in the past week. Durham has history with Mueller as well (Bulger connection), which is also likely why Mueller delayed his testimony. He also has a history with John Kerry -- which might explain some of the laser pointing of late from 45 onto Kerry. If they're starting with Comey and Baker, then they're definitely indicting(or otherwise disappearing) McCabe, Clapper, and Brennan. Edited May 14, 2019 by Deranged Rhino 4 1
njbuff Posted May 14, 2019 Posted May 14, 2019 Durham might be the death blow to the Demonrats. All their obstruction and hatred is going to bite them in the ass. This is why they wanted to get Barr, and miserably failed.
Nanker Posted May 14, 2019 Author Posted May 14, 2019 (edited) The Democrats colluded with Russia, and now they’re obstructing justice. Simple as that. Oh, and they SPIED on political adversaries and broke a few dozen laws in a felonious manner. Their just rewards are about to be served - in a cold manner. Edited May 14, 2019 by Nanker 3

And yet you will hear nothing but crickets from MSM and the Trump haters will call this a right wing conspiracy when it was non-right wingists who called all this out in the first place. The way that this whole thing is ignored is mind boggling to me. You would think that some journalists would want to be on top of this story and make a big name for themselves. Covering for Obama on down is pretty disgusting............ or they don’t wanna be Seth Rich-ed for trying to uncover this story. 4 1
