NT! A few words on what's going on regarding AG Barr and the contempt of Congress filing he's facing from Nadler. The House Judiciary Committee voted strictly on party lines to find that Barr's actions were in contempt of Congress.
Now in order for Barr to actually be held in contempt of Congress, the committee's findings have to go to a floor vote of the entire House. I haven't seen or heard anything on when that might take place.
The contempt issue arises from the fact that AG Barr is refusing to release the *entire* unredacted Mueller report and all underlying evidence, including grand jury material, which BY LAW, he is prohibited from doing.
So basically, they are citing him to be in contempt of Congress for FOLLOWING THE LAW. That *they* wrote. And this is after *all* of the Democrats authorized to view the unredacted report, minus grand jury material, have refused to do so.
And they are calling this a "Constitutional Crisis!!!" *IF* it is a Constitutional crisis, it is of *their* making, not AG Barr's. Remember, he did not have to let them see one *comma*, as Andrew McCarthy says (you'll see later), let alone the full report.
*All* Special Council reports, BY LAW, are *confidential*, and are supposed to be "eyes only" to the US Attorney General. No one else. AG Barr stated in both his confirmation, and appropriations, hearings that he would be as transparent as possible.
He has fulfilled that promise, and has even prepared a less redacted version for viewing by select members of both the House and Senate Judiciary Committees to view at the Department of Justice in their SCIF.
All of the Republicans authorized to view this extra material have done so, but as I noted earlier, all of the Democrats have refused. Why is that? So that they can prolong this farce for as long as possible, and paint Barr and Trump in the worst light possible.
They don't *want* answers to questions, because they're afraid of what those answers might be. Instead, they want to delegitimize AG Barr in the court of public opinion and in the eyes of the legacy media. They want to "kill the messenger".
Why is that, aside from partisan politics? Because Barr has stated that he intends to investigate the beginning of this entire Trump/Russia Collusion thing, to find out how it got started, and who was ultimately responsible.
They are terrified of what he'll find out, as the more information that is coming out, things are pointing in a direction they don't want it to go, and that's directly at the White House and the *previous* administration, which includes Joe Biden, among others.
In case you haven't heard, Joe Biden is running for his party's nomination for President, and since he's probably the establishment consensus choice to win that nomination, and in light of all of the attacks against him, they want to protect him.
I surmise that Barr's investigation will be looking hard at who knew what and when, including members of the previous administration, and that investigation must be stopped if possible.
If not, then the investigator - AG Barr - *must* be delegitimized so that when he concludes his investigation and presents his findings, they can then dismiss the findings as also being illegitimate, because he was found in contempt of Congress.
The Democrats and their legacy media cohorts are claiming that Barr is involved in a cover up to protect Trump, when in fact it is *they* who are involved in a *massive* cover up of the greatest scandal in my lifetime.
The "weaponization" of our premier law enforcement agency, and out Intelligence Community to SPY on a political rivals campaign, based on fabrications. Fabrications that they *knew* about before going to the FISA court, and lied about.
None of them, the Democrats and their legacy media fellow travelers, want *any* of this information brought before the American people, or the rest of the world for that matter, which is why you see this farce being played out before us daily.
This must *not* go unpunished. For the legacy media, stop watching their programming. Stop reading article in the print media. Stop advertising with them. For the Democrats, punish them at the ballot box in 2020.
Show those in power who they are answerable to, by voting them out of power. That will hurt them the most as their main raison d'etre *is* power. We need to show them that WE THE PEOPLE have the power, not them.
