Attorney General Bill Barr has vociferous praise for FBI Director Christopher Wray and his team at the premier investigative agency in the world. The FBI previously dispatched seven agents, three snipers, a full SWAT unit, two MRAP armored vehicles and an amphibious assault unit for a 5:00am raid on the home of Roger Stone.
Meanwhile the AP is reporting today how the FBI politely requested an interview through CIA agent/whistle-blower Eric Ciaramella’s lawyers last month, and the interview never happened:
WASHINGTON (AP) — The FBI last month requested an interview with the whistleblower whose complaint fueled the impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump and Ukraine, a person familiar with the situation said Wednesday.
An agent from the FBI’s Washington field office reached out to the whistleblower’s lawyers last month to seek an interview about the substance of the complaint, according to this person, who insisted on anonymity to discuss the request with The Associated Press.
The person said it was clear from the FBI that the whistleblower was not regarded as the target of any investigation but rather a potential witness. It was not immediately clear what specifically the FBI might be looking into. The requested interview has not taken place. (read more)
Paul Manafort received a no-knock FBI raid at 2:00am for unregistered lobbying. The law offices of Michael Cohen were raided for Taxi medallion abuse. Roger Stone got the SWAT treatment for bragging to congress…. and the Deep State CIA “whistleblower” gets a politely worded letter that can be ignored.
Imagine that?
They’re laughing at us now…
Laughing they are, and the only way to silence them, I’m convinced, will be to re-elect PDJT in record numbers.

Once again, Christopher Wray proves to be the empty suit hack that we have all known him to be…. If memory serves, Wray is the “gift” of Chris Christie for some God-forsaken reason. Why is AG Barr heaping praise on Wray? Is it the same reason he kept Rod ‘Redactinstein’ close at hand? To use him to accomplish the ‘no obstruction’ answer to the Mueller cop-out? Is Barr just keeping Wray close in case he needs to use him? I am worried. Very worried. Barr will be the most consequential AG in American History whether he simply upholds his oath and does his job — or not.
And, as for the hack media who are nothing more than Moonbat Democrats with a press pass, I have 10 things to say: Eric Ciaramella, Eric Ciaramella, Eric Ciaramella, Eric Ciaramella, Eric Ciaramella, Eric Ciaramella, Eric Ciaramella, Eric Ciaramella, Eric Ciaramella, Eric Ciaramella….

Barr’s Federalist Society speech was important because it exposed a weakness that the Deep State has been exploiting from day one with Barr.
Barr sees the Executive Branch under attack and increasingly diminished by the courts and Congress. You could argue the point – but that it what he sees.
Any action that weakens the Executive – like, exposing Executive branch misconduct – allows the congress greater leeway for further limits and encroachments on Executive Branch power. Therefore, it logically follows that covering up Executive Branch scandal serves a constitutional purpose.
Given that, Barr’s institutional protection mode is not just a Swamp preservation move, it has a consistent intellectual rationale. I don’t agree with it, but I think I understand and appreciate it better.

Several possibilities here. Some mixed, some good. I’ll start with the bad:
1) The FBI, ridiculously, took the complaint seriously, and wanted to see if they could use it to penetrate and take down the White House.
The mixed and good:
1) The FBI knew that whoever filed this complaint had access to the same kind of information that had previously been leaked. They got suspicious, wanted a friendly interview, were turned down and they have focused resources at a different angle, or are waiting for the brouhaha to calm down.
2) The FBI has been watching our friend Eric, and recognized this as his work. Decided it would be a bad look for an executive agency to immediately interfere in an obviously bogus whistleblower complaint against the chief executive, so decided to back off and re-approach later.
3) The FBI has been scrutinizing ICIG Atkinson, and his previous work as Carlins DOJ attorney, and recognized he was up to some funny business in the way Eric Ciaramella’s complaint was handled. Carlin is certainly named in the IG report, and Atkinson was advising him at the time.
4) The FBI has been investigating the leak of Presidential phone calls with foreign heads of State, and is on to Vindman. They had not seen Ciaramella involvement before, so they approached him for cooperation to nab Vindman. Vindman is vile. Ciaramella is getting a deserved bad rap, but we don’t know if he projects the same prissy, entitled, whiny, jerkface image that Vindman does.
5) The FBI has been investigates leaks eminating from the NSC as a whole, and is trying to secure cooperation from one of the minor participants to take down the others,
I’m just presenting these. Not trying to indicate any are more probable than others, but I do have a strong belief that past performance indicates future results, which makes me agree with the sentiment in SD’s post. Not a good omen.
