In what the media is calling AG Bill Barr’s final official duty while in office, AG Bill Barr announced today he will not be appointing a special counsel to look into accusations of fraud in the 2020 election; and he will not be appointing a special counsel to look into Hunter Biden’s financial -influence selling – entanglements with foreign governments.
“I have not seen a reason to appoint a special counsel and I have no plan to do so before I leave.”
The Attorney General used a press conference announcing charges against the bomb-maker in the 1988 Lockerbie terrorist attack on Pan-Am 103 to answer questions from the media about the election and the Biden controversy.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Attorney General William Barr used his final public appearance to undercut President Donald Trump on multiple fronts Monday, saying he saw no reason to appoint a special counsel to look into the president’s claims about the 2020 election or to name one for the tax investigation of President-elect Joe Biden’s son.
In the course of breaking with Trump on matters that have been consuming the president, Barr also reinforced the belief of federal officials that Russia was behind a massive hack of U.S. government agencies, not China as Trump had suggested.
[…] Barr said the Justice Department’s existing investigation into Hunter Biden’s financial dealings was “being handled responsibly and professionally.” (more)
Video of the question and answer below:
Now that we can’t get to them through the voting booth there is no reason for government to engage in activities that bore them, like public service and all that. It’s a nice gig, as Castro and Maduro will tell you.
No doubt Barr wrapped up Mueller SC to save Mueller, not to support the President. He could see
where it was heading.
Could have stepped in to expose the sham impeachment. Did nothing.
If anyone should ever be charged for obstruction of justice it is this absolutely this rotten individual.
By doing nothing to stop the coup, he’s actively supporting it. TRAITOR.
I wish Trump could sue him.
For a split second, I thought I read shoot……sue would be alright, I guess.
… I guess. ?
Very possibly b/c Barr & Mueller have been good friends for decades. Because of that I viewed Mueller as an honest guy secretly on the Trump team… not the M SC team if lawyers just Mueller. Looks like I was wrong.
Correct. They serve their masters — and that’s NEVER the public nowadays.
“We serve the people.”
Another lie, another slogan from the State, in which we have long believed.
Do you see how perfect this is – for “their masters?”
Barr is merely the bagpipe playing errand boy. He’s also the scheisse magnet for the elites. Part of his job is to absorb the scheisse storm so the “masters” remain untouched and above it all.
He’s not even his own man.
? ? … these CRIMINAL PARASITES infesting our Gov have become so predictable– at this point, it’s just hilarious! They ALL confirm their criminality & ignorance eventually, hiding behind willful blindness. It serves to shield their total incompetence, given they wouldn’t have a clue wth to do with actual evidence or a real crime.
somebody just SHUT IT ALL DOWN so they can stop embarrassing themselves– it’s the humane thing to do.
Correct. They serve corruption, knowingly.
We have evidence of voter fraud on video . . . and no arrests.
It wasn’t Russia, it was the Chino’s!
There’s no new dangerous strains of the Chino virus. There’s only new strains of dangerous propaganda.
Its apparent lockdowns and masks are breeding grounds for new outbreaks of tyranny!
DJT won in a landslide, both by popular and electoral margins! Democrats and Republicans are complicit in the criminal conduct of the elections
After 60 years of tyranny from the political shadows, it’s now up close and personal.
We’re all going to have to leave the safety of our soft lives to confront and defeat this Satanic fury!
Now’s the time!
Going to DC?
It’s January 6th in D.C. for anyone who doesn’t know.
President Trump has called a rally for D.C. on January 6 at the capital. The electors are counted at 1 pm.
Nope…..he called for a protest. Big difference. A rally is a fun joyous event. A protest is cold anger on display.
It’s all gotten tiresome. President Trump has had scores of his appointees turn against him or downright betray him. From Omarosa to Mattis to Barr to Rosenstain, the list is long. I realize it’s all he had to work with but I am guessing you could have chosen the first 100 names in the Dallas phone book that would have done a better job for the president. I pray that he pulls the curtains back on this whole swamp, regardless what happens.
Don’t forget Rex Tillerson
Also, if Former Overstock CEO Patrick Byrne is correct, President Trump is being betrayed by his chief of staff Mark Meadows and White House lawyers including White House Gen’l. Counsel Pat Cipollone.
This is sickening, but I guess we should not be surprised.
I feel terrible and I don’t understand how someone so loved by so many millions of people can ended up having to stand alone like this. I know he’s not really alone but it feels like that sometimes.
POTUS was a CEO, paid people to work treating them with respect. Government employees get paid period = NO loyalty needed. Their loyalty lies with the almighty $ and the next invite to the DC parties. POTUS understands who supports him and why he is in the this position. He toyed with this decision upwards of 20 years and now he’s all in. God Bless POTUS.
Byrne clarified that Meadows is not betraying Trump, but doesn’t have the backbone for the job he has.
No surprise there. Meadows seems to be playing more to the political winds, not focused on fighting to preserve President Trump’s legitimate victory in the election. I’d say Meadows is trying to walk the fence to preserve his future in the Swamp. Sadly that appears to be the primary goal for most of the career Swamp dwellers.
I don’t think they understand the existential danger they face if the DemoCommunists take over.
I remember that after the 2016, the campaign created a website to recruit MAGA people to staff the new administration. There were claims that the RINOs who ended up in charge of the hiring process ended up using the application as a blacklist, to actually keep MAGA people out. It would explain alot of what we have seen unfold over the past four years.
“UNFINISHED BUSINESS” — Barr’s whole time as Attorney General under President Trump can be descri8bed as unfinished business…. He did not act upon any criminal referral by Congress or the IG nor upon any members of DOJ or FBI except for one attorney wh was openly guilty.
What a tool.
Yes. There was the question for this press conference.
“Any explanation for why you never acted on any criminal referral from Congress or from the Inspector General?”
But the media is owned by giant globalist corporations, and it is THEM that they serve.
Be gone already!!
SWAMP RAT PROTECTING SWAMP RAT. DC NEEDS CLEANED OUT ROOM BY ROOM !!!
A few million of us on January 6 could probably get that done…
Barr saw the massive fires at the “peaceful protests” in Kenosha and elsewhere and decided that investigating would not be enough “change” the fire.
The one I’m saddest for right now is Sundance, who did so much brilliant investigative work, followed his guts, heart, moved by the Spirit, found a person in the DOJ to present his many years long work to, a Mr. Adelson.
I hope that person is one of the rare “good people inside Justice” that we hear about, and that I was fortunate to meet at one time decades ago. They do exist, but watching Barr’s performance must be so disheartening.
Hoping Sundance, and all of us who care about justice, will hear, or see, positive results from his work now that Barr will be out of the way? It took over 5 years before details of a situation I had submitted to a local FBI office before we got a call back from some bigwigs at DOJ, and eventually justice did get served, even though others were hurt before that happened; so watching Barr today, another political poser in charge of the nation’s law enforcement, cut deep into the heart.
Have never been more disgusted by our nation’s political class.
I agree. Sundance and all of us were hopeful that uncovering the corruption would make a difference. Instead we got a preview of things to come from a ruling class that didn’t just know about the corruption they were the authors.
Sundance’s work has made a GIANT difference.
I was blind, and now I see — and that’s thanks to Sundance.
Thank you, Sundance! You have transformed my understanding of the government.
Term limits for BUREAUCRATS.
Who on earth is Mr. Adelson? Would that be Sheldon Adelson? I must have missed this…
OMG – You’re right! My bad – Aldenberg. (too late to go back and edit). Thanks for pointing that out. Would like to blame autocorrect, but, my bad.
Ah, no worries! Immediately after my post, I started suspecting you actually meant Aldenberg.
Thanks. Always best to fix when possible.
I seriously think we should start a well publicized list. People who are enemies to our country. It would serve us well.
The Democrat plan for the past 4 years was to interfere, obstruct, stall and run out the clock on the Trump presidency. The election steal was the coup de grace. I hope there is time to fix the country because he$$ awaits us under Democrat/China rule.
Going to DC?
A gas can and a match. Light it up!
Can the temporary AG that comes next appoint a special counsel to investigate election fraud?
You’re kidding, right?
The Department of Justice is now fully in control of those who hate us.
No surprise here, he is leaving in 2 days. Now, his temporary replacement could and should do this, but Barr is out.
“his temporary replacement could and should do this, but Barr is out.”
Oh, like seatwarmer Matthew Whittaker when he was [temp] acting AG?
ALL TALK AND NO ACTION
For a really “nice guy”, sure does act like a swampy POS.
DON”T forget…Ol’ Bag Pipes Barr will be nothing but a footnote in history…that is all…His character and everything else about him will be forever forgotten when he had the chance to do something great…He is a s&it stain on the role of AG and should be forever be forgotten…
Beware nice guys.
There is a certain “nice evil,” a certain “smiling evil” exemplified I would say by today’s Pope Francis, the heretic.
Evil doesn’t wear a black cape like in the movies; it comes as an angel of light, with a grandfather’s kindly smile, like Cardinal McCarrick. Like Attorney General Barr, that “nice man, so very humble and interested in doing good.”
He is a very sophisticated liar. He never has a telltale smirk or micro expression like Gates or Strozk.
He knows how to say what we want to hear, he knows very well that we love and seek and in fact are starved for justice, so he gives beautiful speeches. He knows exactly what he is doing.
He’ll be the last one to get out somewhat intact.
Less than a month to see the how it all shakes out.
William Barr, Deep State Swamp Creature Extraordinaire.
And there you have it…nothing to see here, move along. I maintain that William Barr is a traitor to this country and had no interest at all in cleaning up anything at the DOJ, the pro-bono law firm for the Communist democrat party. The DOJ remains the largest organized crime enterprise in the world and you and I are paying for it, in more ways than just our taxes. He is a despicable piece of human garbage…history will not be kind or forgiving of Barr.
Let us hope that history goes as you say.
January 6, D.C.
There is nothing extraordinary about Barr. He has proven himself to be just another totally corrupt disingenuous Swamp resident.
Higher loyalty…to the nation’s enemies.
After watching him come in and immediately play the bagpipes and laugh with Sessions and Rosenstein, what would you expect?
We need Sidney Powell and/or Lin Wood to respond to this right now
Now you know why no “Republicans” show up at the Stop the Steal protests, they are afraid we would hang them and they would be right.
“he saw no reason to appoint a special counsel to look into the president’s claims about the 2020 election or to name one for the tax investigation of President-elect Joe Biden’s son.”
That’s why you are now unemployed Bill!
Only machines vote for dems, over and over and over again. No sane human being would vote for a dem unless they want to take what isn’t theirs and force people to live the way they want them to live.
Big changes coming.
This tells me that what we do need is a special counsel with Sidney Powell at the head and that there was major fraud. ( Not that we didn’t know )
Anything these globalist clowns say, the opposite needs to be done.
The left wont seek revenge on him, the right will not seek his service again, history wont remember him and now he can fade away and enjoy a comfortable retirement, just like Sessions. His time playing AG was the best gig he ever had playing the bagpipes. I hope to never see his face again.
“being handled responsibly and professionally.”
But not Honestly and Judiciously…..
It is not logical to expect a just outcome from a corrupt system.
Just red meat for the fake news before Christmas to preserve the fake narrative by a Traitor.
There is a hard to find video of Netanyahu arriving on the tarmac and meeting Obama. Obama brags about Ben Rhodes and others and their connection to the MSM. Netanyahu remarks how incestuous it is. Incestuous is the right word for the swamp.
Barr will rot in HELL with the rest of the swamp…the sooner the better.
So…..what will the Left and the MSM do if there is no Bad Man to blame? Before Trump, during Obama it was WE The Racist People who where blamed for all the ills. Do we go back to that overuse record. I bet they do because they never took the time to learn how they got Trump.
Except this time, WE have a very loud voice behind us.
How bout a special prosecutor be appointed to investigate Barr.
Obstruction of justice?
Corruption?
Accepting bribes?
Showing favoritism toward his friends, such as Mueller?
I want to know WHY he took the job. What was in it for him? He obviously didn’t plan to serve the country, nor the President, nor the public. What was his motivation? Money? Sex? Power?
Will we see his fat face as a regular on CNN? A book deal? WHAT WAS IT, BARR? What did you want?
failure to provide “Honest Services” is a crime defined by 18 USC 1346 which states “For the purposes of this chapter, the term scheme or artifice to defraud includes a scheme or artifice to deprive another of the intangible right of honest services.” Didn’t Barr swear to protect and defend the constitution, and enforce the laws?
The law is reportedly a favorite of federal prosecutors because the language of statute is vague enough to be applied to corrupt political officials’ unethical or criminal activities when they do not fall into a specific category, such as bribery or extortion. Here, Barr apparently intentionally IH+MHO, dragged his feet to stall easy prosecutions, and even violated obamas’s EO for FOIA Transparency, to hide records of congresscritter and government criminality.
Honest Services Fraud ! We each have our favorite examples of Barr’s stalling, protection of criminality, hiding evidence, unequal application of the law, and the like.
During the last 2 years, every time we started to get restless and suspicious of Barr being Sessions 2.0, Barr would throw us some crumbs to keep us hanging on and hopeful.
Towards the end, when it was too close to election, he needed to keeps us (And Trump believing) so he gave Clinesmith a slap on the wrist to show some action and keep us happy.
It was a game to run the clock and not be too obvious. Why he is still around… it’s a mystery to me.
He is like Senator McConnell. Deception throughout his life, deception throughout his public service.
What is the inner psychic life of such weirdos?
Narcissism? The thrill of having CONTROL? The thrill of deceiving, constantly?
Good question. You got people in their 60’s, 70,s and 80’s with buku bucks hanging around in congress apparently till the die they die.
The whole Uniparty is built on deception and who is the Prince of Deception ?
Why would he start doing his (supposed) job now? Because the job he was actually hired to do IS THE JOB he is now doing. He was never placed in his AG position to investigate anything involving government corruption and malfeasance, that was only the cover story. His real job was always to cover up the criminal activity of the government, either by destroying evidence or classifying it into eternity.
The entire federal government needs to be purged of all the corruption and deceit, and if it was, there would literally be nothing left standing.
His real job was always to cover up the criminal activity of the government.
—
Perfectly stated. Exactly correct.
And he was put there not by Trump, but by Senator McConnell.
I’m not sure what to think here, the AP article is not what he just said so…??
But here’s a little reminder
The DOJ has arrested and prosecuted more child sex traffickers than any other DOJ in history. Seems to me that kids are way more important than politics. Still extremely disappointed that things seem to be going in the wrong direction.
Wrong- Why didn’t the DOJ arrest and/or investigate Hunter Biden who was supposedly involve with sex activities with minors?
The US Marshalls are the ones doing most of the investigating and arresting. The DOJ is too busy shredding their hard drives and thumb drives before they get found among the guilty pedos.
William Barr ………………. hint hint ……………. if you don’t look for election fraud ……………. you aren’t going to find it.
PanAm Flight 103
was 1988.
It took DOJ and multiple agencies 32 years to figure out new charges?
Great job.
Yep, just like cucumber it keeps on coming back up!
Can I ask you AG Barr, in your tenure, you accomplished exactly what?
“Nothing, which was my intention”
Thank goodness this traitor to America will soon be gone. His legacy as a traitor will go with him. He also needs new glasses Apparently the pair he has is making him so darn blind that he can’t see what’s staring him in the face. I imagine his statement will make headline news in all the corporate media controlled newspapers tomorrow.
I agree with Chuckie Shumer who said that Barr should be ashamed of himself when Barr testified at the dogandpony show earlier this year. During that show, Barr acted so cool because, imo, the whole episode was staged to help us believe that Barr was a good guy.
All I need to know about Bagpipes I found when I researched him when he was installed as AG. He has always defended the swamp creatures & the institutions they inhabit and NOT WE THE PEOPLE. Just another Deep State decepticon up to his own filthy neck in it too. It’s a big club and he’s in it. Barr sucks……
I didn’t like Barr when nominated after researching then that he worked for CIA and had long history working with Mueller. Posted in here. FWIW.
Barr made it clear that we do have a 2 tired justice system. The one for the swamp gives them complete power to commit crimes and persecute opposition. They can do whatever they want.
That there is nothing about Hunter Biden to investigate is such a stretch of credulity- that it’s practically an admission -intentionally revealing who he is and for whom he works. Claiming something doesn’t warrant investigation that is so blatantly obvious even to Biden’s sycophants is screaming “Don’t believe anything I say!!”
“Political correctness is communist propaganda writ small. In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, not to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better. When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity. To assent to obvious lies is in some small way to become evil oneself. One’s standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control. I think if you examine political correctness, it has the same effect and is intended to.”
The quote is from Theodore Dalrymple.
“the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, not to inform, but to humiliate”
Likewise with kneeling before BLM.
I tried to keep hope alive that this cretin wasnt a complete and utter POS. I was wrong…again. he should have been fired months ago.
Barr is a lard ass. What a useless garbage bag of existence. Fck Him.
Nice guys finish last and sometimes they end persecuted like Trump and his admin. You would think that Trump was smarter than this. He ‘s been getting bad advice and had shitty hires for years. When he trust’s himself his instincts are good. You don’t build skyscrapers in the most corrupt cities in the world without sharp elbows. Who got to Barr? Was he another Roberts and compromised? Wasn’t it his father who hired Epstein years ago? Were they trading underaged children between each other at the Dalton School. Did Barr want Epstein dead too. Where is all the Epstein evidence. Is the Ghislaine case going to go away too?
Is this all kabuki theater? These voting machines, hard drives, USBs and ballots should have been seized within the first 10 days after the election. Trump didn’t need permission. He could have sent the US Marshals to seize everything, conduct an investigation. Seize all the emails, cell phones of all the poll workers, supervisors at these locations is question…hell every county of these questionable states. Time is lost. Maybe this is all a ruse and they have all they need, and don’t need the material…. I don’t know, but it’s getting tiring. The courts won’t save Trump, they want nothing to do with it. They want him out. The full congress, except for a handful of Patriots want him out. Enough, get on with it. Fire the disloyal staff and break out the evidence. If you can’t then declass everything and booby trap the biden admin. On to the Penis hat Resistance and helping ATIFA and BLM burn down Blue States and Cities..
You are correct. EVERYONE wants POTUS gone..ALL OF THEM..there is no magic calvary coming to save us. Time is very short.
Direct correlation between “seeing no reason” and leaving. History will not be kind to this azz whole.
“I have not seen a reason to appoint a special counsel and I have no plan to do so before I leave.”
Apparently you haven’t looked, or maybe you did look but don’t care, because no self-respecting human being, much less the Attorney General of the United States, would be so blind unless he was as crooked as a snake. May history remember you as the Benedict Arnold you are.
Et tu, Brute?
Those cocktail parties are way more important than the rule of law in DC. PERIOD
I think the status/careers of his 3 adult lawyer kids and their spouses working in DC was more important
When Bill Bar saw long time spook Stephan Halper on the other side of the collusion conspiracy, who at one time suddenly became a partner in a banking venture just when Iran-Contra needed a banker…
I f’ing told you so… No way was bill letting anything happen to the entire cadre of crooks who participated in cocaine airlines in the 1980s. Not a chance. Fits awfully cozy with assisting Clintonistas frame Trump’s campaign. One big happy family… After getting busted in Arkansas with American pilots, the bastards wised up and relocated to Florida where they imported hundreds of useful idiots to fly cocaine on a mosquito fleet of Cessnas. After the Mossad put together the plan, they used the CIA’s own smuggler pipeline as the springboard for 9-11-2001 and fomented kicking off our militaristic expansion in Mesopotamia.
Queue up your best Gomer Pyle for that hot steaming pile of bovine excrement. No doubt he was always the same Ruby Ridge POS that he was portrayed to be by many.
What do we do?
I think a Special Council to investigate the last three AG’s would be a great idea. Sidney might be getting bored. How about her?
last 4 – you forgot holder’s “fast and furious’ scam to give guns to mexican cartel gangs to shoot our border patrol.
Correct you are. Selective amnesia. My mind is trying to erase that period of history as it anticipates the justice about to come. Good luck Eric.
Yes, now we all finally and clearly SEE what he is.
It is very disappointing.
They can pretend and pretend for years and years.
What is the inner psychic life of such weird individuals?
The President can appoint a Special Counsel. He is the Chief Law Enforcement Officer of the United States….not Bill Barr. We all knew Barr was a sham!
Change the motto of DOJ from:
Qui Pro Domina Justitia Sequitur
to
Protect The Guilty And Hound The Innocent
William Barr is the Brutus of our time. May his name live in infamy. He is one of the most duplicitous traitors in American history. Not only did he stab President Trump in the back, he plunged his stiletto into the heart of America and twisted the knife.
He is one of the arch-villains who allowed the conspiracy to continue unhindered. May his name be infamous like Booth and Quisling.
His only Spygate defendant in all likelihood approached DOJ to cut a deal, not the other way around. Otherwise…one big fat, and I mean CORPULENT, zero. Sadly, I fell for it after he closed down Mueller’s debacle. Weissman would STILL be throwing crap against the wall if Barr hadn’t shut that down. I really expected more.
BTW I still can only see some but not all of the comments no matter how many times I post (iPhone only). Hoping that gets fixed soon, I miss seeing so many (this one says it has 160 comments, one page has 4, the other, maybe 30 or so).
