Bill Barr appears to be targeting Trump’s opponents — and senate Dems want an investigation.
“On Tuesday, the Democrats—Sens. Kamala Harris (D-CA), Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI), and Richard Blumenthal (D-CT)—sent a letter to the Department of Justice’s Inspector General, Michael Horowitz, asking him to investigate whether Barr was pushed by President Trump or anyone in the White House to open investigations into U.S. political figures like the Bidens,” Politico reported Tuesday.
“The request has its roots in Barr’s appearance before the Senate Judiciary Committee in May, when Barr proved unable to answer a question from Harris about whether Trump or another White House official ever directly asked or suggested that he investigate anyone,” Politico noted. “After the hearing, Harris wrote a letter to Horowitz, asking him to investigate. In the Tuesday letter, the senators write that Horowitz never responded or confirmed whether or not an investigation is occurring.”
The letter noted the intersection of Barr’s questioning and the Ukraine scandal. “It strains credulity to maintain that Attorney General Barr was unaware of the president’s desire for him to conduct such investigations—investigations that the president mentioned to a foreign head of state and spoke of openly on cable television,” the senators wrote. “These episodes again raise questions about whether the Department of Justice and its leadership participate in politically motivated investigations—a practice that threatens not only the independence of the Justice Department, but of the rule of law.”
“These disturbing revelations, as well as the attorney general’s unwillingness or inability to be forthcoming when asked under oath about the president or White House’s involvement in Justice Department investigations, warrant the prompt attention of your office,” the senators added.
Watch Harris questioning Barr:

William Barr’s Partisan ‘Authoritarian’ Trump Defense Triggers Calls For His Impeachment
The attorney general drew backlash after calling Democratic “resistance” against the president a dangerous “holy mission.
Barr's speech was promoted on the official Twitter account of the Justice Department, and triggered viral “Impeach Barr” and “Disbar Barr” hashtags.
Rep. Bill Pascrell (D-N.J.) declared the speech “one of the most vicious partisan screeds ever uttered by a US cabinet officer” — and called for Barr’s impeachment. “Barr says trump should have king-like powers,”
Criminal defense attorney Tor Ekeland tweeted: “Instead of [Barr’s] ‘theory of the unitary executive,’ let’s just start calling it what it is — the theory of the fascist executive.”
Former Southern District of New York federal prosecutor Mimi Rocah called Barr’s speech “outrageously inappropriate” for an attorney general. “You are the head of the DOJ for all Americans not just the ones in the Federalist Society. Please start acting like it,” she tweeted.
Sherrilyn Ifill, president of the NAACP’s Legal Defense and Educational Fund, said she has warned that Barr is the “most alarming figure” in the Trump administration, whose political view of an all-powerful executive is in “lockstep with Trump.”
American Civil Liberties Union attorney Josh Block called the Federalist Society’s gushing reception of Barr’s message “sickening.”
Richard W. Painter @RWPUSA Another lunatic authoritarian speech as Barr goes from attacking “radical secularists” at @NDLaw to one month later attacking the “resistance” at @FedSoc. Impeach Barr now!

Subject: Bill Barr Advanced a ‘Made Up’ Conspiracy Theory About the FBI to Help Trump: Wed Nov 27, 2019 4:45 pm
Published 5 mins ago on November 27, 2019By
Bill Barr advanced a ‘made up’ conspiracy theory about the FBI to help Trump:
New revelations about the Justice Department inspector general report on the Russia investigation are damning for Attorney General William Barr, who testified before Congress that he believed “spying” had occurred against President Donald Trump’s campaign.
''This discloses that there were some issues with some of the lawyers over at the FBI. Problems like that need to be rooted out. They need to be taken very seriously.''
The good news is that there’s no indication that that isolated issue impacted any of the work that was being done by the FBI here. It didn’t result in a prosecution of Carter Page.
And the important takeaway is that everything that President Trump has been saying for the last couple of years about the deep state and the effort by the Obama Justice Department to attack his campaign, that’s all been made up. none of it was true.”
But it was fomented and it was really put into progress, as much as by the president, by his attorney general, Bill Barr, who famously went in front of Congress and talked about spying, which is not what the Justice Department does.
The Justice Department does court-ordered supervision or court-ordered evidence collection. The notion that the attorney general would call it ‘spying’ was shocking to many of us then, and the inspector general report confirms that it was indeed untrue.”

iTo believe Temple's article would be to believe that Horowitz leaked info of his investigation to some left wing rag before releasing his report .. It stinks of bullshit

If he believed spying occurred it's not a lie and it's not "damning"

heheh .. "Issues with some lawyers" ..right .. Stzrok, Mcabe, Comey, Page, Ohr and his wife ..not sure what happened with Ohr and hs wife, but the others were top officials at the FBI and have been *fired* ...I recently heard that another guy from the FBI was fired from the Mueller team for the same reason(s) as Stzrok, and I don't doubt there are more in the FBI we haven't been told about
Mueller himself was/is questionable .. Two years of investigating and claimed he didn't know WTF Fusion GPS is
Quote :

No impact? .. Again, top FBI officials have been fired for the parts they took in the Russia collusion bullshit, including the director/Comey .. *That* was the "conspiracy theory", fabricated with the specific intent of taking out the duly elected POTUS
Quote :
It didn’t result in a prosecution of Carter Page.
Well the obvious fact that the guy did absolutely nothing wrong could make prosecuting him more difficult .. He was affiliated with the Trump campaign and they used him as an excuse for their surveillance or SPYING on the campaign .. He was never even called as a witness to anything during the hearings
Quote :

As if Trump has been the only one saying it .. What "wasn't true" was the bullshit that he colluded with Russia to win his election .. that he's a Russian agent ...doing Putin's bidding ..committed treason ..That's the "important takeaway" .. over 2 years of multiple investigations couldn't show one bit of it to be based in any fact whatsoever
Quote :

It's most certainly what they DID ... Barr wasn't even the AG when the Russian collusion hoax transpired ..it was Jeff Sessions, who immediately recused himself from it all the minute he was appointed as the AG
Quote :

"Spying" is what was done .. They can all use whatever other words they want for it .. I suggest that "evidence collection" is what AG Barr did that caused him to believe that spying occurred, whether they spied on Page and/or the Trump campaign .. They spy on people all the time ..ask Snowden
I'm betting the IG report will show that the FISA warrant as well as the 3 renewals were obtained under false pretenses, using the bogus Steele dossier as the basis .. I'd like to know how the author of this shitty article can get confirmation from the IG report when it's yet to be released .. I don't believe for a minute that Horowitz leaked any of it to anyone

Warrior for theocracy Bill Barr
It has long been an article of faith (no pun intended) among some on the left that the culture war was simply a cynical tool of the conservative movement to fool the rubes into voting against their economic interests.
In this reading, right-wing leaders had no intention of ever following through on culture-war issues. They would string the voters along forever, promising to deliver on abortion or gay rights or guns but never really getting the job done, the assumption being that they could keep the conservative base’s intensity at full throttle if those voters believed they were on the cusp of getting their agenda passed.
Meanwhile, as the marks were distracted by endless culture-war skirmishes, the big money conservatives would pass laws that benefited themselves and harmed their own voters.
The man most responsible for putting Gorsuch and Kavanaugh on the court as well as more than 100 lower court judges, is the Federalist Society’s Leonard Leo. He is a member of the ultra-conservative Catholic organization Opus Dei and has served on the board of its affiliate, the Catholic Information Center, whose goal is to influence and convert members of the political elite. (Among the converts are Larry Kudlow, Trump’s economic adviser, and former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich.)
William Barr, the attorney general of the United States, has also served on the board of the Catholic Information Center. Just as the political and media establishment conveniently overlooked Barr’s long-term commitment to the “unitary executive theory” in its most extreme form, they didn’t seem to know that he was even more committed to far-right social conservatism. It wasn’t until Barr gave a speech at Notre Dame last October that everyone finally understood to what degree he is a religious crusader.
In that speech he said many things, blaming “secularists” for causing immense pain and suffering and “moral chaos.” He suggested that “the law is being used as a battering ram to break down traditional moral values and to establish moral relativism as a new orthodoxy” and went on to detail how he was counteracting that as attorney general. His views are “religious nationalism,” which basically implies either a theocratic state or a single-religion state.
Barr made his beliefs explicit:
Judeo-Christian moral standards are the ultimate utilitarian rules for human conduct and religion helps frame moral culture within society that instills and reinforces moral discipline. The fact is that no secular creed has emerged capable of performing the role of religion.
Apparently the law and the Constitution are just wallpaper, which is an unusual thing for a U.S. attorney general to imply.
As Stewart and Fredrickson point out, this explains why Barr is so willing to lie and cover for the libertine Trump:
Within this ideological framework, the ends justify the means. In this light, Mr. Barr’s hyperpartisanship is the symptom, not the malady.
At Christian nationalist gatherings and strategy meetings, the Democratic Party and its supporters are routinely described as “demonic” and associated with “rulers of the darkness.”
If you know that society is under dire existential threat from secularists, and you know that they have all found a home in the other party, every conceivable compromise with principles, every ethical breach, every back-room deal is not only justifiable but imperative. And as the vicious reaction to Christianity Today’s anti-Trump editorial demonstrates, any break with this partisan alignment will be instantly denounced as heresy.
Bill Barr may be the most unvetted attorney general in history, which is strange since he had served as AG under George H.W. Bush and was well known in DC circles. How could he have been confirmed as the nation’s top law enforcement official when nobody knew that he was a far-right religious extremist on a mission to use the law and the executive power to enforce a moral code?
How many others like him are buried within the Trump administration, protecting this licentious president in order to Make
