1) On May 18, 2020 Barr declared that Durham’s investigation into the origins of the Russiagate hoax wasn’t focused on Obama or Joe Biden.
Barr's claim is an often underappreciated statement, the fallout of which was felt throughout the 2020 presidential election.
2) Although Barr now claims that he issued his statement from a position of fairness, what he actually did was insert himself into the presidential campaign.
In doing so, he set the stage for media’s whitewashing of corruption questions that surrounded Biden during the campaign.
3) Barr’s May 18 statement also stands in stark contrast to his decision to remain silent after the second presidential debate in October 2020, when Biden falsely blamed the story about his son Hunter’s laptop on a “Russian plot.”
4) Barr recently told Fox News that Biden “was squarely confronted with the laptop and he suggested that it was Russian disinformation. … And I was shocked by that. … When you’re talking about interference in an election, I can’t think of anything more than that kind of thing.”
5) Barr’s supposed “shock” over Biden’s claims of Russian disinformation during the debate begs a simple question:
If Barr actually felt that Biden’s assertions of “Russian disinformation” amounted to “interference in an election,” why didn’t Barr say anything at the time?
6) There is another troubling aspect to this as well.
Four different CIA directors lied for Biden.
And they did so to publicly promote false allegations about Russia in order to shield their preferred presidential candidate from public attention. politico.com/f/?id=00000175…
7) Barr claims he was concerned about a potential repeat of the 2016 election Russia-Collusion claims.
But if this was true, it would have been incumbent on Barr to step forward publicly as soon as Biden & the Intelligence Community made the false accusations against Russia.
8) Barr also acknowledged the massive geopolitical damage caused by the Clinton campaign’s Russiagate hoax.
But he inexplicably ignored Biden’s false claims about "Russia disinformation" re: his son’s laptop.
1) On July 28, 2016, Brennan briefed Obama on Clinton’s July 26 plan to tie Trump to Russian election interference “as a means of distracting the public from her use of a private email server.” judiciary.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/…
2) In the weeks that followed the FBI’s opening of its Crossfire Hurricane investigation, Brennan took a number of actions that appear to have been intended to actively reinforce the basic premise behind Clinton’s plan—that Russia was interfering in the election to help Trump.
3) One of the first actions from Brennan took place on Aug. 4, 2016, when he suddenly warned Russia’s FSB head Alexander Bortnikov not to engage in U.S. election interference.
Brennan later claimed that he “was the first U.S. official to brace Russia on this issue.”
2) Three weeks later, on Nov. 22, Joe Biden demanded the removal of Ukraine prosecutor Shokin.
Biden's sudden demand seems odd as US State Dept officials had previously praised Shokin in the months leading up to Biden's demand for Shokin's removal.
3) In June 2015, Victoria Nuland told Shokin she was “impressed with the ambitious reform and anti-corruption agenda”
Nuland stated that Shokin had demonstrated his ability to “investigate and prosecute corruption and other crimes in an effective, fair, and transparent manner.”
2) Although Russian President Vladimir Putin is rightly deserving of blame, top U.S. officials over the past decade have played important roles in critical events that undermined U.S. relations with Russia and resulted in the destabilization of Ukraine.
3) The deterioration in our relations with Russia, in many ways started with President George W. Bush in 2008 when he dangled before Ukraine the promise of NATO membership during the Bucharest declaration.
Written for a private client [Deripaska] but shared widely within the US State Dept, and sent up to Sec. of State John Kerry and assistant Sec. of State Victoria Nuland — who was in charge of the US response to Putin’s annexation of Crimea and covert invasion of eastern Ukraine.
Nuland: "During the Ukraine crisis in 2014-15, Chris Steele had a number of commercial clients who were asking him for reports on what was going on in Russia, what was going on in Ukraine, what was going on between them."
2) On July 28, 2016, Brennan briefed Obama that Clinton had approved a plan to tie Trump to Russian election interference “as a means of distracting the public from her use of a private email server.”
3) The very next day, on July 29, Sussmann, Elias, Steele and Fusion operatives met in Perkins' offices.
Steele learned of the Alfa allegations at this meeting.
