Do not attribute anything extraordinary to this series of events. Quite likely, they are disconnected and not what most of us would love to believe.
In no way should this be construed as fuel for the trusty plan community. However, that said, it is interesting.
U.S. Attorney General Bill Barr meets with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell today.
There are no immediate reports on the intents or purposes of the meeting, and with all things Barr does the meeting provides multiple ways of looking at it.
If investigative findings were ever going to bring sunlight upon the corrupt machinations at the gateway to the swamp, the DOJ would eventually have to have a conversation with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell about the corrupt activity of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI). Is this that? Likely no, but wishful thinking always puts that little element of hope into a series of events…
If the DOJ were ever going to go full wolverine on the schemes, lies, manipulations and known malfeasance of the body politic, who would be the most at risk in that scenario?
The answer is SSCI vice-chairman Mark Warner…. who just coincidentally sends out a statement today warning President Trump about firing ‘senate confirmed’ executive branch officers like Defense Secretary Mark Esper:
Are these events related…. who knows. We can hope yes, but the real answer is likely no.
I dislike Bill Barr with the heat of a thousand supernovas…. not only because he seems to be a coward and swamp-certified protector of the administrative state; but also because he has hidden behind the skirt of Sidney Powell amid the entire Flynn fiasco.
Instead of just admitting, openly and publicly, what is clearly evident for the entire world to see… AG Barr uses proxy entities like Missouri USAO Jeff Jensen to send exculpatory information to Ms. Powell so she can achieve what cowardly Barr is not willing to do with the righteous fury that is warranted. That’s why I consider Barr a coward.
The wise words of Mike Vanderboegh echo so loudly….
This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening.
It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can’t be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won’t be done. The Founders’ Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.
But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.
And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.
MAGA, bitches. Trump because FUCK YOU, is a very powerful group of Americans…
I’m wondering if Don Jr. tweet on declassifying everything lit a fire under his ass and made him run to Mitch to try to head off any declassification after he has done nothing. To me Bagpipes is the main reason that Trump did not even have a bigger vote. He disgusts me at every level and I can’t wait for his removal.
Most likely? They were just discussing the level of outrage out there among the profane, and how they needed to make a convincing show of support for President Trump for awhile. Isn’t that what these guys always do?
Barr was there to save his azz and that of Wray. He was also there to tell McConnel that if PTrump ordered him to release all docs unredacted, that he would refuse to do so. In which case McConnel should call for PTrump to resign.
Guranteed, this meeting was not to support PTrump in any way. Barr was there to save his sorry ass. Probably told McConnel that the DOJ /FBI would not help PTrump in any way in filing lawsuits or charging anyone re. the fraudulent election results.
Barr is a POS.
PTrump is going to be declared the winner in spite of his enemies, and they are many.
NC, Ga, Az and Pa are all going to break for PTrump after the court cases rule in Trump’s favor and votes are thrown out. Biden will never be POTUS.
Barr just announced the DOJ is going to look into the voting irregularities. I’m sure he’ll get right on it & assign any lawyers leftover from the Mueller investigation to it. /sarc, I think.
Don’t worry…Durham’s got it covered. Trust the plan!
Addressed here: She references a prior thread about the DOJ and Barr. Worth reading the thread. Yes, this is a nothingburger.
Read this – it is significant. She calls out Obama appt and Lois Lerner buddy who headed up election fraud. He quit tonight! Of course libs couching that as a protest quit. No no, it’s the fox leaving the hen house. Hopefully more to follow!
Barr knows he’s gone in a Biden administration so maybe he’s decided to do what he knows is the right thing. Wray likely gone also in Biden administration,so Trump
Should clean house now. I’m not saying the President isn’t elected for a second term,
Just these guys aren’t sure so they better step up now.
Solomon telegraphed something on 11/6:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iGEp00ChkT0
Maybe Wray will announce new training programs to eliminate cover ups in the future.
Interesting. Thank you for sharing.
Too little, too late…
Remember FBI investigations are where evidence and facts go to die. When do you think Hunter and Joe Biden will be charged with money laundering and influence peddling?
Wonderbar! RCP pulled back their PA call for Biden!
https://www.realclearpolitics.com
Don’t hold your breath. This is the same FBI who took a knee during the BLM DC demonstrations.
Wow. Gee. I thought they were all busy interviewing Adam Criegler today. How charming that they can spare the time for voter fraud. ?
“I think there’ll be an event next week….”
How many times have we heard that before….and waited and waited and waited….
Puleez….deja vu. Barr strutting down the hallway en route to MM’s office. We saw this same scenario in a post several months ago. I’ve lost track of when and won’t waste time trying to figure out when.
But, yah, Barr struts when he wants to make an appearance during a time of real angst.
Why doesn’t he try making an appearance in a courtroom! SPIT!
Worthless AG just like his traitorous predecessor.
DOUBLE SPIT!
Should have kept Whitaker in there, honestly. At least he doesn’t have decades of swamp muck oozing from every pore.
I began to trust Barr when I saw the democrats hatred for him.
And I trust Mitch to side with the winner, even if the winner is Trump.
Mitch would be fine with a thin senate GOP majority. He didn’t work so hard to confirm 3 SCOTUS justices only to willingly accept democrats packing the Supreme Court. My guess is that Barr offered Mitch this deal: “We’ll watch over the Georgia runoff elections for US Senate, in the way that we didn’t do for the presidential election, and we’ll – you and I, Mitch – not raise a ruckus about the stolen presidency. We won’t help out Giuliani with any investigations and we’ll let Biden take office, then you can use your 51 senators stop the Democrats from getting too crazy. And everything can go back to normal”.
“And everything can go back to normal”.
Do you believe that is possible?
Sadly, the conservatives in this country have shown an amazing ability to “go along and get along”. Far, far too many people who are fired up now will simply roll over and acquiesce because it’s far more important (in their minds) to be “nice” and well liked rather than to fight for Truth, Justice, and the American way!!
If you believe that then you have no idea of who we are in flyover country. Civility can only go so far……
No offense intended…I am basing this on many years of seeing far too many of my Conservative friends, who live all over the country, saying that they just hate being “Confrontational” because it isn’t “nice” so they will just “pray” and “hope” that somehow God will fix it all without them having to do anything…
And yes, I know that He can but I don’t believe that His Word says that we are supposed to just hide beneath the covers and wait for Him to show up!
I am praying that you are right and that there will be an awakening and an uprising that has not been seen in this country for a very, very long time but which would make Founding Fathers proud!
If you believe that then you have no idea of who we are in flyover country. Civility can only go so far……
There was a saying at the top level, a bank I worked at for many years. Nice guys finish last, this was meant for both male and female before the PC culture was born. God Bless PDJT. I also wanted to mention, a serbian paper I read said there was a huge uproar about the USA election, the story goes, it was stolen by the D and PDJT is the only president they will accept.
Normal as defined by us – where we thought we had honest elections? No. Normal where Mitch can make money off trade with China without any pesky populist president? That’s the “normal” Mitch wants.
Won’t have 51, Romney (at least) will be voting with the Dems.
@Sebastian – I began to trust Barr too when I saw the democrats hatred for him. Then I woke up, and realized that the whole “dems hate barr” was orchestrated to fool good people like us. When Barr went to testify, he sat there so cool and calm while the dems attacked him. I was wowed. Now I realize that Barr was so cool and calm because it was all a pre-planned act. Shame on all of them . Many of us were baited and caught hook , line and sinker.
peace- fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.
Mark Warner you better get them ready.
Remember the State of the Union when Trump recognized Juan Guaido as the rightful President of Venezuela? I wonder how he knew that?
Barr reminds me the typical Republican … eunuch.
There is a growing body of Republicans who’ve grown a pair, thanks to PDJT. Some need to go (Wray, Haspel, et al) but there are those (Barr) who seem to run hot and cold. He brought Mueller to a screeching halt, but leaves so much of the Obama/Biden corruption still hanging on.
We shall see what we shall see.
Call McConnel, let him know we know.
We know, all of it.
Maybe McConnell has woken up that he’s going to be a powerless nobody next year?
Just now Mitch?!?!?
Well, better late than never I guess.
McConnell should be fighting to have Perdue & John James & Martha McSally & Thom Tillis elected – and that obviously ties directly in to supporting President Trump’s efforts in those 4 States in particular – Georgia, Michigan, Arizona & North Carolina.
I don’t think McConnell gives a rat’s rear end whether he’s in the majority or minority. Either way he makes a good living, a great pension, and gets invited to the same parties. He just doesnt care. He’s in the club. We’re not.
McConnell got his gravy train supplied a long time ago. He married into a Chinese shipping magnate family.
Thank you and welcome home.
Wow, so many mad people with mean comments about Barr. You all need to relax, calm down, and remember what Jesus left us: “I am leaving you with a gift, peace of mind and heart.”
We are admonished to be angry but not sin in so doing. Anger is FINE!
Anger is fine. And Jesus didn’t have to deal with someone of Barr’s caliber. Those were different times.
Barr is a FN coward. All we have heard for eons, is we have to separate the political silo from everything else. Note to Barr, politicians do commit crimes and treason at its core is a political crime. Stop with posturing, do your job, or hit the road and play with grand kids. If there is country left for them. Put it in your memoirs for them.
You can be certain it was not about the well-being of the American public, but something to do with their own hides. Now there is the anger of 75-100 million real Americans is also perhaps something to discuss. “Hey Mitch…ahh, you better get your ass out there and calm the waters. We’ve pissed off the lineage that stormed the beaches of Normandy, Iwo Jima. Battled through the Chosin Reservoir, La Drang, Tet, 20 years of the terror wars, and we’ve gotta calm them down! The asshole democrats over did the cheat, we gotta give them cover.”
I’d love to be surprised. We’ll see.
Yes, and they know 70m Trump votes equals maybe 80-100m real live human votes, where as 70m Biden votes is probably less than 40m real voters. THEY KNOW it is true.
The only way to “calm the waters” is for President Trump to be the winner of the election he won.At this point anything else makes no difference.
Ia Drang Valley
Thank you. In my haste.
This is actually a good point. Maybe, just maybe, the absolute and final wrath of 1/3 of the American people will fore them to recognize just how tenuous their position actually is. In multiple ways.
His next request is stay strong and do not abandon me. And we will. Just out of curiosity, has anyone heard about the lawsuit that was supposed to be filed in Philadelphia today by Rudy G?
Umm, yes. 105 page lawsuit filed today in Federal Court, Pennsylvania.
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2020/11/breaking-trump-campaign-files-lawsuit-pennsylvania-alleging-creation-implementation-illegal-two-tiered-voting-system-election/
Anyone else seen this? Seems Real Clear Politics removed Pennsylvania from the Biden totals!!
https://www.realclearpolitics.com/elections/live_results/2020/president/
Likely recount? Or have they heard something? Hmmmm
There was a code phrase in Vietnam to indicate your position was about to be overrun and it was time to drop ordnance literally on top of our own soldiers, but what was the alternative? Methinks (heck, meknows) it is time for such a maneuver…what difference, at this point, does it make! I would prefer an all out brawl now with our enemies to resolve this matter once and for all, than dither for another 4 years for the sake of “national unity” – screw that! It is time for a Donnybrook, so to speak, lead by a Donny, of course!
BROKEN ARROW!
“It is time for a Donnybrook, so to speak, lead by a Donny, of course!” VERY GOOD!!!
Thanks.
I agree. There is no national unity when we have diametrically opposing world views, one which includes the complete destruction of the nation!!!!
Joe Digenova,
You swore on everything holy around you that Bill Barr was a constitutional warrior hellbent on cleaning house and jailing criminals to RESTORE the faith in our institutions.
He’s a bum. He’s weak and timid and too soft to go after the swamp. After all, those are his real friends. Did he deceive you or are you helping calm the MAGA resistance? Pretending he’s a man of integrity and a patriot.
Barr, Haspel, and Wray should be fired TONIGHT. Replaced with Scalia, Grenell, and Meadows respectively.
Speaking of DiGenova, is he even talking about this latest corrupt episode of the stolen election? I’ve always liked him but, especially since I no longer watch Fox, I haven’t heard from him.
He was on Newsmax with his wife the other night.
It had been a long while since I’ve seen the dynamic duo.
He was on NewsMax with his wife for an hour this afternoon.
Did he say anything new or substantive?
Disclaimer – I had come to dislike and ignore Joe DiGenova because he was always telling us that he had it on very reliable sources that something (re. the big ugly) would happen soon…within days or a week. NOTHING ever happened. I concluded he was full of hot air making money and gaining “celebrity” by appearances on conservative TV shows.
Not near as bold as he used to be on faux, but he did indicate that he still had faith in him. Didn’t see the full hour so he may have said more?
And I found this interview. He doesn’t have nice things to say about Justice Roberts! Good for him. Like Sydney Powell, he’s a fighter.
Maybe Barr is giving Mitch bagpipe lessons?
Imagine how confused Biden and Harris will be when they find themselves not in the White House but in the Big House.
Okay, maybe not Dementia Joe but Commie-la, for sure.
I’ve going to laugh so hard I lose an eyeball if Barr went up to the Hill to inform McConnell that the DOJ has direct evidence of vote tampering at around 4am on 11/4…
That being said, I think ways to read this include:
1. Somebody in the Senate is in trouble with Durham
2. Barr wants to discuss options when Trump fires him, and to give McConnell a heads up on who he thinks Trump is going to appoint.
Bet on #2.
#2 agreed
Adding (scant) hope to #1 is that John Solomon reported on Newsmax Friday night that there would be a “significant” announcement/event from the Durham team “this week.” Perhaps a “report” that reflects poorly on not only the IC, but also the SSCI? (To hope for material indictments, however belatedly, is, I fear, forlorn.)
A report, pulease, arrests or nothing.
If its a report with nothing Barr is going to get shit canned pretty quickly after all this time and build up. It took Durham all this time to do nothing?
I saw a tweet(I can’t find it now) that MM had made a statement shortly after the BB meeting, saying that MM would not recognize JB as PrezElect until all the voting questions and leagl challanges were met/answered.
I think BB showed him some evidence that suggersted strongly that POTUSVSG has another four years ahead.
Found the news…the tweet must have been a quote from a WaPo (ugh) article today
quote:
“Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) on Monday threw his support behind President Trump’s legal challenges in the wake of his loss to Democrat Joe Biden, saying that the president is “100 percent within his rights” to pursue recounts and litigation, though Trump has produced no evidence of widespread voting fraud.”
^notice the “wake of the loss”, like JB-won is a given narrative
“McConnell’s remarks came shortly after he met with Attorney General William P. Barr on Monday afternoon. A Justice Department spokeswoman declined to comment on the meeting.”
…..one of most wishful thing ….could be it ?????…Please… be it
Mitch McConnell is teetering on the brink of losing his position of most powerful man in DC.
It is one thing to have enough election fraud to get rid of Trump, but another thing for the same machine to use the same tricks to defeat Perdue and Loeffler..
And if he DOES lose the Senate then the Democrats will overturn the Filibuster and render him obsolete, at which point he will become a “useful idiot” who is no longer useful… And Mitch may be a lot of things but stupid ain’t one of them!
This is not even close to over, IMHO! Buy more popcorn!
Mitch had better start pumping money into the Senate race in Georgia. It will be the only way to limit Harris/Biden.
OTOH, Sen. Joe Manchin or however you spell his name said he would not vote to get rid of the fillibuster this afternoon.
Not impressed with Manchin – he does seem to have conscience but he also seems to fold whenever his party puts pressure on him!
I think the Dems already bought their magic vote-switching software. They ought to be able to take two more senate seats on the cheap.
It may look like Mitch is Senate Majority Leader but if you look at the bigger picture, Angus King of Maine and Bernie Sanders of Vermont are Independents who vote with the Democrats all the time, so Mitch just barely has an edge over Chuck Schumer when it comes to power in the Senate.
If you can recall, Pence occasionally had to be on standby to become the tie-breaker in the Senate.
Maybe if Trump goes down, its time for Mitch to go also. I hate to admit it, because it might have been counterproductive to the conservative cause, but I was halfway hoping Mitch would lose his election. Just to break his corrupt hold on things.
I understand. He helped Trump big time with the judges. But Trump couldn’t get the best
CIA director, FBI Director, nor Director of Intelligence, because of McConnell and SSCI lack of support. Trump was able to scare them with Grinnell into approving John Ratcliff after Coats screwed around, but it cost lots of valuable time.
Maybe some of the Treepers have, but I still haven’t figured out whether Gina Haspel is loyal to Trump or not. She was London Station Chief when the CIA and FBI swarmed around Papadopoulos and Carter Page. If she didn’t know about the spying on Trump she is incompetent, and if she did know, she is a traitor. Seems interesting that Gina is on AOC’s enemies list. . . go figure.
Senator Mitch McConnell senate floor speech today..
I have a difficult time imagining a good replacement for Mitch as GOP Senate Majority Leader because the current GOP Senate are all silent cowards when Trump needs them the most right now.
Dear Mark Warner, F— YOU because TRUMP
I’m thinking President Trump is inching towards the Insurrection Act. Barr is starting to squirm and he wants Mitch on his side.I think Billy Bagpipes is history come January.
Maybe, just maybe Trump told Barr and Mitch “if the fraud is not exposed regarding the election I will expose all your dirty laundry on my way out the door and make sure you don’t survive the fallout”
That would be great, but it’s tough to be that optimistic. Unless he (Barr) is convinced of how serious a threat this is to the continued existence of the republic. Then all bets are off.
Excellent article by Constitutional expert Dr. Vieira on the President’s authority to suppress insurrections.
https://newswithviews.com/the-presidents-authority-to-suppress-insurrections/
Seems the only people “insurrecting” right now are Trump supporters.
Except for Antifa and BLM who are still burning Portland down, and that suits me fine.
Warner, who should be in the docket on charges, has the gall to tell the President he can’t fire a subordinate? I’m fast becoming ashamed of my country and feeling like a stranger in a strange land.
Someone needs to cane his ass on the Senate floor.
Esper said the day after the election that he would not carry out Pres. Trump’s orders. I think you have no choice but to fire Esper.
I think Trump is going to mop the floor with Warner soon.
Why doesn’t someone, nunes, anyone, put Warner in his place, show a page of his emails? The arrogance of these people. Like they actually believe they are honest or that noone knows how crooked and traitorous he is. I am more proud of the president of Mexico than most of President Trump’s fellow republicans. If not for President Trump working 18 hour days and pushing himself like no other it would of been a blue wave
If Barr did his job, he wouldn’t get invited to anymore parties. Priorities.
I began to mistrust Barr when months went by after he took over and he had still not ordered the FBI to cease with the 302s and to begin making audio and whenever possible video recordings of their interviews, to help prevent the kind of thing that was done to LTG Flynn. If his mission and intent was really to restore public trust in the FBI and DOJ, then he would have done that pretty quickly. I have not yet heard he has done it. Has anybody?
Why would HE, a lifelong Criminal “Justice” system INSIDER want to eliminate the single most effective tool that crooked federal cops and prosecutors use to railroad US citizens? Neck, he probably helped to REFINE their use.
What an amazing co-inky-dink.
I just now came to the Treehouse to comment about Bill Barr, John “BS” Durham, and (in THIS post-November 3rd reality) how they successfully ran out the clock with all their reluctant inquiries into ALL THINGS related to SpyGate, ObamaGate, and any OTHER “Gate”.
What a huge, collective “SCREW YOU” they gifted to US.
Lord, I hate ALL of those rotten DoJ/FBI bastards.
Don’t pronounce sentence on Durham just yet. He’s been put on ice until after the election. Which happens to be now. So let’s see what happens now.
You’re probably right. No doubt, he’s been secretly working with Jeff Sessions to build a “Perfect Case” against the coup plotters.
Ill walk out on a branch on the other side of the tree house, and comment that it went something like this:
BARR: Mitch, I just left the whitehouse after delivering the Pandora’s box of EVERYTHING relating to the FISA courts, FBI, the obama administration, EVERYTHING. Its all been declassified and unredacted.
…….oh, and your name is all over it.
MITCH: GULP
MITCH: STOP THE STEAL!!!!!!!
Just a thought… the carrot and stick..
What if The DOJ arrested Hunter Biden on Pedophilia… based on Hunter Biden lap top..
All the MSM would scream bloody murder… and riots begin hence the need for Esper replacement
Barr says all supporting documentation n Hunter Biden lap top…
This opens the narative oh look payments to Joe Biden…
I realy don’t think that Hunter would do well without his drugs and hookers..
No facts on my part just a thought…
MAGA
The main problem I have with Lin Wood is that he mainly specializes in defamation cases and not election law cases, correct?
In comparison, George W Bush had people like Kavanaugh for his Bush v. Gore battle.
Kavanagh was a kid
Wood knows PR and strategy which is invaluable now.
Not that I know much about him.
But generally speaking it seems that the soundest thinking , most impressive sounding attorneys won’t work for the President cuz they will be blackballed.
There are exceptions of course
He did an excellent job on representing the Ramsey family during that whole fiasco.
He’s doing well for Sandman. Lin is not the only lawyer for the kid that’s now extradicted to Kenosha.
Since he’s based out of Atlanta, he works with local law firms on all these cases besides members of his firm.
State & Local bar associations generally require local counsel participate because they know local court rules, etc.

This Forbes article about the Flynn Case written by NCLA’s Executive Director and General Counsel, Mark Chenoweth, makes me curious about the New Civil Liberties Alliance.
The New Civil Liberties Alliance (NCLA) is a public interest, pro bono law firm with a focus on the administrative state. Founded in 2017 by Columbia Law School professor Philip Hamburger, the NCLA aims, according to its website, to advance freedom of speech, trial by jury, and due process.
https://nclalegal.org/mark-chenoweth/
https://ballotpedia.org/New_Civil_Liberties_Alliance
I am unsure if the NCLA could be classified as conservative or not but I just mainly wanted to share the name of someone who wrote a very interesting article on the Flynn Case on Forbes, and who just so happens to be a lawyer named Mark Chenoweth.
Sidney Powell.
What if the firing of Esper is a shot across the bow of the deep state. Just watch him replace them one by one so that Biden has to deal with Trump administration appointees until they can get the senate to approve new ones just like Obama did. That would be fun.
Let’s face it.
Mitch enriches his pockets way more with Biden in power vs PDJT.
Biden ensures the old establishment corrupt system is back in place and the money spigot that PDJT turned off, would be turned to full on flood mode.
Mitch also does not care if he is minority leader. In fact, it gives him better leverage to sell his support for the highest bid. Look at the wealth he accumulated under an Obama admin.
He’s all about greed and power.
Slight boom
Barr announces investigation.
Of course barr has stunk so far and this may be simply a head fake
“Slight boom – Barr announces investigation.“
When? And of what, specifically?
He didn’t announce an investigation, he said they -may- investigate. That means no investigation. The election was nearly a week ago, and he -may- investigate some time in the future. He’s telling us no investigation.
Slight boom – came from the bathroom.
You’d think the “trust the plan” community would have realized post election there have been NO posts since Election Day. None. The whole thing appears to be an AI driven pay op to both identify people who are patriots for possible future actions and to keep people appeased and led to inaction.
Well, if the “trust the plan” poster (Q or whatever) is some nefarious list maker, then it’s a big list! A big list full of people armed to the teeth too.
“Authorized”? Doesn’t have the same ring as “ordered”.
(I can think of no valid reason for Barr to –and so publicly — go meet with McConnell.)
Why waste our time with speculation – Who cares about a meeting between
AG Barr and anyone? Its either action or not.
We have a country to save from a stolen election. Focus.
Now that kind of sentiment is more like it.
Let’s roll these fukks.
Maybe, just maybe, he gave McConnel, advance notice he’s being fired and an interim AG will be appointed.
Hope So!
There is one aspect of the Esper firing that could give Trump a better advantage in the coming days. If Esper was squeamish about having US Troops to confront Antifa, maybe Trump’s interim pick, Chris Miller is more ready for an Antifa Smackdown . . .
This change in SecDef might come in handy about the time the Supreme Court issues their decision, and the Democrats give Antifa the go signal.
Komrade, as has been noted, Esper had gone public post election and said he would not be following through on commands that Trump may issue.
Trump had no choice. This is way bigger than Antifa
Trump wants troop deployments drawn down. He wants to thin the ranks of the upper brass and he is going to see it through and Esper wanted no part of that. He should have resigned and said nothing but he wants to be liked by the Dems apparently.
sarasotafan, you are absolutely correct that Trump had no choice after Esper’s press comments.
But, if Antifa begins massive riots, greater than any in last summer, Trump may need to use US Armed forces against them. Antifa has had time to rest, build up recruits, (+ jail releases,) and make plans. The damage they have caused is already in the billions. Maybe the National Guard is capable of stopping them, but it would be good
to have regular US Troops, and air assets ready, just in case.
I don’t like the idea of US troops firing on Americans any more than anyone else. But, it happened in the Whiskey Rebellion, Civil War, and other examples, like Waco. The most primary government responsibility is to preserve order. Antifa people aren’t really loyal to America anyway, not America as founded.
Komrade, Antifa was FUNDED to do what they did. They are bad actors, but the answer is to identify the money pipeline and shut it off.
I think Barr was warning Mitch about what the coming declassification of documents are going to show and he needs to be in position to automatically enter a course of action.
Will Mitch be ready to censure a colleague? Removal of a colleague?
The aggravating aspect of this is if this relates to the Russian Hoax Mitch et al have known about it for years and any action taken now will simply be a defensive action he is forced into.
What about possible national security concerns with Biden? is it possible thats what Barr went to discuss?
Yea, there are lots of possibilities, but Biden is not the President-Elect and Mitch would only get involved if Biden has been impeached.
National security questions are reserved for President Trump. You know, “Russia!” Get with the program. Democrats are exempt.
Hogwash. I’m not ready to throw AG Barr under the bus. I have never been able to jump on the cynical bandwagon here. Are people aware that the President meets with AG Barr weekly?
I know there is significant disappointment with him, but I think the timing didn’t line up. I had also believe that President Trump wanted to legitimately win re-election on his record instead of because of corruption investigations before taking significant legal action.
Seriously, many here talk out of both sides of their mouth. One minute President Trump is a genius and the next minute people here are “armchair political experts” trying to give him advice he doesn’t need. I’m thoroughly convinced that uncovering the Systemic Fraud that most people claims doesn’t exist is paramount in Draining the Swamp.
All I know is God Wins because he chose President Trump and He’s not going to get us this far only to have it all undone and have been a waste of time.
Lastly, in God’s work, He does things His way.
Have faith in God and trust Your President.
Balanced and rational thoughts Kate.
We had the power to save our Country against Communism and Socialism because we were still in power. We did nothing because we cared more of what other people thought of us than thinking of the future of our children. We never got control after that again and the Country is now rive with corruption and fraud with China’s tentacles running through it. Just saying.
You could go back 100 years with that indictment. We are all to blame, going back a long time. The only thing left now is to come fully to grips with the facts, and in so doing come to a sober understanding of our options.
If you still have to ask if Barr supports the President, then you already have your answer. And how anyone can be asking that question so late in the game is beyond me.
The disconnect from reality by so many here and at places like The Gateway Pundit is beyond belief. That anyone still believes crackpots like Joe DiGenova and John Solomon makes me question my faith in humanity.
And what exactly would that “reality” be?

Stunned. I have no clue how to begin. I will not bend a knee. For that I am certain.
I enjoy and value this site. That said, the hate for Barr is as bad as the hate for Trump. Barr derangement syndrome is not healthy. I heard his comments about what he thought about the election shenanigans and I believe him. The election is over, he is free to act. I think many arrests and prosecutions are coming and many, many apologies from people on this and other sites will be due.
And just like that, YOU the useful idiot makes an appearance undergirding the comment I made above! You people would literally swear the House wasn’t on fire as the roof comes crashing down in a towering inferno! Absolutely hopeless!
It’s really difficult not to be cynical about deep state guys like Barr. We’ve seen no tangible results.
That said, DJT still has him around for a reason. I’m not generally a ‘trust the plan’ type, but at this stage of the game, if the President can’t play the hand he’s at least partially dealt himself, then we’re stuck with the Jeffersonian remedy.
It is what it is.
Praying your right!
Is it possible Mitch allowed the President Trumps 3 Supreme Court Justices to be confirmed, all the while knowing the dimwits want to pack the court?
Wouldn’t they’re loyalty to the Constitution be diminished in this scenario?
On the flip side in President Trumps 2nd term Mitch would need them for whatever ruse he has planned for us as well. At the very least, “no harm done” and old Mitch still appears to most, a non venomous snake.
Win/Win for Mitch?
PRESIDENT TRUMP’S Snake poem comes to mind!
The swamp is really creepy!
FOX NEWS Channel doubles down on STUPID
Fox NEWS has cut away from a Press Conference held by White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany this afternoon claiming that the network cannot continue to air her “false claims” in “good conscience.” Dopey never-Trumper Neil Cavouto actually said that “they can’t in good countenance continue showing this”
And the network continues its slide down into the Hades of fake news.
RIP FNC
Meanwhile the go-to election coverage website Real Clear Politics has now pulled back Pennsylvania, Arizona, and Georgia leaving contender Joe Biden with an EC tally of 259.
I am still hopeful.
They are discussing Esper’s firing and whether they think Barr will be next. Trump needed to remove Esper in case the DEMs go for a military coup if their stolen election doesn’t hold in the Supreme Court.
If Barr refuses to investigate the election fraud he could be next but I don’t know if there is anyone else that could step up and do it in the DOJ. Maybe the guy that helped GEN Flynn.
Gal that help Flynn no a guy.. Sydney Powell is already on board and part of the investigating legal team President Trump has put together
He’s referring to JEFF JENSEN of Missouri.
I would be happy for JEFF JENSEN to be Acting AG.
Barring just authorized DOJ to investigate
No I believe Barr is Warning McConnell that the President is getting ready to Nuke them all. Plain and Simple, and McConnell beehives he can pacify the President with his words to run the clock out Everyone is going down….
Also remember—–the turtle has a vested interest in POTUS under covering enough Georgia irregularities to get the one Senator (Perdue) to the 50% to avoid the runoff. When the stealing was in progress, he was at 49.98%. If POTUS and Perdue get improper ballots discarded is a win-win.
I’ve never thought the turtle cared whether he was majority leader or minority leader. As a minority leader he doesn’t have to do anything.
Who has lost power? Has Trump lost power or has Mitch or Warner or Barr?
It’s the FBI that does the investigating….and guess who directs them?
They found out that Esper was secretly working with the so called Biden transfer team.

Why would Pilger resign? Is he claiming there is no voter fraud?
