Barr gets to declassify investigation documents

[Greenman]

Apparently, he can declassify anything having to do with the investigations of Trumps campaign. Obviously there is specific information Trump wants released, I'm very curious as to what it is.
Of course everyone at the FBI is outraged.

Cherry-picking intelligence, out of context, to make the Criminal-In-Chief look less guilty.

That is what is going to be released.

Look who is already carrying that water.

And burning the asset that directly from the Kremlin warned US intelligence what was going on in 2016.
- waging war on his own intelligence institutions
- giving Putin another gift free of charge.
Yep, its a TrumpDay.

Obviously?
Obviously that is dumdum fantasy land for the alt right in a nutshell. If there was SPECIFIC information in existence dont you think he would have declassified it himself three years ago? Two? One? Yesterday?
But no, of course, this is an extremely stable genius playing 17D chess right here.
@Greenman? Damn man I think you are on to something!!
To anyone else, this is another day Trump is tearing your country a new one. Congrats.

The question remains the same, why do it if there is no reason?

No, its an entirely different question and the answer STILL stays the same.
He is throwing the septic tank at the wall and hopes some shit sticks.
To discredit your IC.
To sow a false narrative, exactly what he accuses MM of.
To gear up his base for coming impeachment hearings.

Its so fucking simple man. Head out of ass.

To feed the Deep State conspiracy theories, of course. The whole Russia thing was built on their lies! Nothing but a witch hunt! Blah-blah-blah.

Lol.

It's simple when you've reached a conclusion before having any information. I like having a bit more to go on.

Bob didn't come up with any collusion between Trump and Putin, so it looks like the Russian thing wasn't much of a thing.
Honestly, any investigation that involved Strzok is suspect, the guy is Trump with a better haircut.

There's lots of information & it's been linked more than once in this forum. TrumpCo has been playing this angle from the beginning, originally using Nunes as the point man. Discredit the FBI & the intelligence agencies for doing their jobs because that's bad for Trump. He'll burn 'em to the ground with lies & innuendo if he has to. And he'll have plenty of help from Barr, Graham & several others.

So-called conservatives, destroying the integrity of the institutions of our govt.

We'll have to see what Barr releases. Like I said, I'm curious as to what it might be.
Despite the general feeling around here, Barr isn't an idiot, though he is a team player. He must have something he thinks is worth going public with.

He's fishing, like Trump's voter fraud panel. It's distraction from Trump's malfeasance.

I don't know what Mueller thought he might find going in, but I doubt he anticipated all the obstruction coming from Trump. That's offensive to any honest investigator, rightfully so. It's also illegal. It should be highly offensive to any American who values the rule of law. Having a President who acts that way is a disgrace.

 

[DrDoug]

Bob didn't come up with any collusion between Trump and Putin

First, collusion wasn't what Mueller was looking for, nor is collusion a law that can be broken. Second, former Michigan GOP Rep. Tom Coleman:

According to the redacted Mueller report, candidate Donald Trump, along with members of his team, on multiple occasions welcomed Russian interference on his behalf during the 2016 presidential campaign. For example, the report details a meeting between the Trump campaign chairman and a Russian intelligence asset where polling information and campaign strategy were shared.

What do you call what he describes? Come on, let's hear it.

Oh.. I see... Barr is a teamplayer... unlike Sessions was... right?
You think there be unflattering things of Trump in those files?
You think Barr is going to declassify any of those?
Barr has been watching too much GOT, he considers himself hand of the King.

Yup... should have titled this "Barr gets to selectively declassify investigation documents" because that's all he's doing. Rump shits, Barr wipes him up and tells us that he didn't shit but rather farted...

and his supporters eat it up.

 

[trenchfoot]

I hope every single despicable thing Trump, Barr and McConnell are committing in order to keep the Trump Crime Clan in business will be recorded in infinite detail, entered into the Congressional Record and read in full at the beginning of every new Congress as a warning and lesson to those who think it's just fine and dandy/no big deal to trample the Constitution into the dirt, defile and defy the rule of law with impunity and usurp the checks and balance that the House is dutifully attempting to fulfill.

This can't happen again. If Trump somehow makes it through this he will consider it a mandate and justification to behave precisely the way he is carrying on right now and then he will as his one and only purpose do everything within his power to get revenge on his "treasonous enemies".

If you all think he is criminally insane now, just wait 'til he gets another chance for a "re-do".

 

[ch33zw1z]

Distract, control the narrative, alt facts, this is what Trump does and expects out of Barr.

Clearly you didn’t read the report as he came up with a LOT of collusion. What he didn’t come up with was criminal charges beyond those he already charged.

No one has ever come up with a valid reason why Strzok would be suspect, other than the fact that he didn’t like Trump, which is no reason at all.

We have already seen how Barr will lie to America to protect Trump, I suspect he will selectively declassify information to do so again here.

What's it like going through life this easily lead? Are you well rested from doing absolutely no critical thinking yourself?

 

[VRAMdemon]

So the investigation by Special Counsel into misconduct by the President and his pre-election campaign is (somehow) "advice to the president subject to executive privilege", but it’s fine for the AG to publicize whatever information he thinks implies the investigation was somehow influenced by bias without running it by the President first?

It should not need to be said explicitly, if AG Barr were acting in good faith and with a pure heart (I do not believe either of those things are true, but if), he would lack the underlying knowledge and expertise to know why, e.g., the CIA classified, and what damage might be done by declassifying. Because DOJ people, even the best DOJ person ever, has very limited familiarity with the equities of international intelligence gathering. That's not really what they do. This empowerment is absolutely indefensible by any metric. It is maliciously idiotic.

We already know what happened in this circumstance. Trump and people close to Trump met with some Russians who were being routinely surveilled by the FBI. There was no targeting of Trump's campaign. And a lot of career FBI men didn't appreciate Trump strutting into the FBI office fishing for "loyalty", wanting the first job in the new Trump administration to be having Comey "investigate", er um, I mean "squash" any rumors of a pee tape so Melania would feel better. Lets face it, 99% of everyone who meets Trump for the first time and , or Trump tries to bully into lawbreaking and first impressions into the general sense of the man is - "wow, this guy is an asshole who wants me to break the law"
