Bill Barr Is Threatening To Take Down Any FBI Official Who Investigates Election Interference

https://www.politicususa.com/2019/12/14/bill-barr-threatening-to-take-down-any-fbi-official-who-investigates-election-interference.html

After his own inspector general report debunked the so-called “deep state” conspiracy theories pushed by Donald Trump, attorney general William Barr has been running a public relations campaign to convince the American people that the IG’s findings are all wrong.

Not only is Barr trashing his own IG report, but he’s also using his PR blitz to send a threatening message to FBI officials who investigate foreign election interference.

“He did a whole TV blitz to basically say that his own agency, the FBI, was spying on the Trump campaign, something that the inspector general said did not happen,” MSNBC’s Joy Reid said on Saturday.

Reid said that the attorney general’s media campaign is also sending a message to FBI agents that “if you go ahead and investigate foreign interference in our election, William Barr may come after you.”

Leningrad Lindsey and Putin's Little Mitch are openly declaring their intent to violate their oaths and duty to follow the Constitution; this trashbag's threatening to "come after" anyone who attempts to defend the nation. How long does this go on? Does anyone still believe this will end peacefully?



A surprisingly common storyline in comic books from the '40s and '50s involved entire towns run by criminals and supervillains. Once considered implausible, such a plot now seems restrained and quaint.

And the more he takes steps to try to prevent it, the longer a jail sentence he is setting himself up for if he is not AG in 13 months.

If Trump loses this next election and his presidency a whole bunch of them are going to have serious legal problems.

Hopefully, more than few will end up in jail and rightfully so.

And more than a few of us will be entertained for years.

Which will then be claimed as "evidence" that the Bidens did something wrong.
