Trump says 'jury is still out' on FBI Director Christopher Wray
May 08, 2020 09:11 AM
Another FBI chief could soon be forced out.
President Trump said the "jury is still out" with regard to FBI Director Christopher Wray during an appearance Friday on Fox & Friends.
He repeated that Wray was "recommended" by former Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, who appointed special counsel Robert Mueller to investigate Russian interference in the 2016 campaign after Trump fired his previous FBI director, James Comey, in May 2017.
In recent weeks, Republicans have become increasingly frustrated with Wray after it took a U.S. attorney appointed by Attorney General William Barr to pry open secrets about the FBI's Trump-Russia investigation, particularly information related to the case of former Trump national security adviser Michael Flynn.
Trump said he told Barr to "handle it," but he also noted, "In theory, I'm chief law enforcement officer."
After the Justice Department filed to dismiss the case against Flynn, Barr defended Wray in an interview with CBS News. He said the FBI director has "been very helpful" to various investigations, including U.S. Attorney John Durham's review of the Russia investigation.
"There are a lot of cases in the Department of Justice, and I don't consider it the director's responsibility to make sure that all the documents are produced in each case. So I don't - I wouldn't say that this has affected my confidence in Director Wray," he said.
Trump nominated Wray to take over the FBI after he fired Comey.

Attorney General William Barr on Michael Flynn, Obamacare and coronavirus restrictions - Transcript
The Justice Department on Thursday moved to dismiss charges against Michael Flynn, President Trump's first national security adviser. Flynn pleaded guilty in December 2017 to lying to the FBI about his contacts with the former Russian ambassador to the U.S. - but in January, Flynn asked the court to allow him to withdraw his guilty plea, citing the government's "bad faith, vindictiveness and breach of the plea agreement." In a motion filed in U.S. district court, federal prosecutors asked the judge to dismiss the single count of making false statements to the FBI, claiming the government concluded that the FBI's interview of Flynn "was untethered to, and unjustified by, the FBI's counterintelligence investigation." Attorney General William Barr joined CBS News senior investigative correspondent Catherine Herridge to discuss the reasoning behind the motion.

Pelosi slams move to drop Flynn case: 'Barr's politicization of justice knows no bounds'
Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Thursday accused Attorney General William Barr of trying to "cover up" for President Trump in dropping the case against his former national security adviser Michael Flynn for charges of lying to the FBI about his contacts with Russia.
"Attorney General Barr's politicization of justice knows no bounds," Pelosi said in a statement.
"Michael Flynn pleaded guilty to lying to federal investigators in the face of overwhelming evidence - but now, Attorney General Barr's Justice Department is dropping the case to continue to cover up for the President," she added.
Flynn had previously pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI about his contacts with Russia during the presidential transition in 2016. Flynn later moved to withdraw his guilty plea and has been fighting the charges.
In a court filing on Thursday, the Department of Justice (DOJ) said it was moving to drop its case against Flynn, saying it was no longer sure it could make its case.
Former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe noted in a statement that the DOJ's new position contradicts the findings by both former special counsel Robert Mueller and the Office of the Inspector General.
"Overruling the Special Counsel is without precedent and without respect for the rule of law," Pelosi said.
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) called the move "outrageous" and demanded an "immediate explanation," pledging to summon Barr to the Capitol.

"Rest assured, we are going to reschedule that hearing, ASAP, and demand answers!" Nadler tweeted.
On Thursday, Trump told reporters that he was pleased to hear the DOJ's decision and wanted people "to pay a big price" for prosecuting his former adviser.
"He was an innocent man," Trump told reporters in the Oval Office on Thursday afternoon. "He is a great gentleman. He was targeted by the Obama administration and he was targeted in order to try and take down a president, and what they've done is a disgrace, and I hope a big price is going to be paid."

Adam Schiff: DOJ's Decision Doesn't Exonerate Flynn, But Incriminates AG Barr
House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-CA) claimed the Department of Justice's decision to drop criminal charges against retired Army Lieutenant General Michael Flynn on Thursday does not exonerate the former Trump national security advisor, but rather incriminates Attorney General William Barr.
"Flynn pled guilty to lying to the FBI about his illicit Russian contacts. His lies do not now become truths," Schiff wrote on Twitter. "This dismissal does not exonerate him. But it does incriminate Bill Barr."
"In the worst politicization of the Justice Department in its history," the California Democrat added.
Earlier Thursday, the Justice Department moved to drop its case against Flynn for charges of making false statements to the FBI about his contacts with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak ahead of President Trump taking office. In 2017, the longtime military man pleaded guilty in special counsel Robert Mueller's Russia investigation and agreed to cooperate with the DOJ, but eventually withdrew his plea, citing prosecuting breaking their agreement to not recommend prison time.
"Through the course of my review of General Flynn's case, I concluded the proper and just course was to dismiss the case," Jeffrey Jensen, the U.S. attorney that Barr recruited to review Flynn's case, said in a statement. "I briefed Attorney General Barr on my findings, advised him on these conclusions, and he agreed."
Speaking to CBS News, Barr defended the decision to drop the charges against Flynn, saying he was "doing the law's bidding'
"A crime cannot be established here. They did not have a basis for a counterintelligence investigation against Flynn at that stage," Barr said in reference to the FBI.
"People sometimes plead to things that turn out not to be crimes," the chief law enforcement official added.

Breaking: Department of Justice Drops Case Against General Michael Flynn

"BREAKING......WASHINGTON (AP) - Justice Department is dropping criminal case against ex-Trump adviser Flynn, according to court filing obtained by AP. - Julie Pace (@jpaceDC) May 7, 2020
Excerpt from AP:
...In court documents being filed Thursday, the Justice Department said it is dropping the case "after a considered review of all the facts and circumstances of this case, including newly discovered and disclosed information." The documents were obtained by The Associated Press.
The Justice Department said it had concluded that Flynn's interview by the FBI was "untethered to, and unjustified by, the FBI's counterintelligence investigation into Mr. Flynn" and that the interview on January 24, 2017 was "conducted without any legitimate investigative basis."
The U.S. attorney reviewing the Flynn case, Jeff Jensen, recommended the move to Attorney General William Barr last week and formalized the recommendation in a document this week.
"Through the course of my review of General Flynn's case, I concluded the proper and just course was to dismiss the case," Jensen said in a statement. "I briefed Attorney General Barr on my findings, advised him on these conclusions, and he agreed."...
The dismissal of Flynn's case comes as a result of his decision to change attorneys last year and bring on Sidney Powell who pressed the Justice Department for documents concealed from Flynn by the DOJ and apparently his own former attorneys.

RT News article on the DOJ Dropping the Flynn Case
End of Russiagate? DOJ drops case against Trump adviser Flynn that started 'witch hunt'
https://www.rt.com/usa/488079-doj-drops-flynn-case-trump/
Charges against US President Donald Trump's first national security adviser, General Michael Flynn, have been dropped due to new evidence showing they were baseless. Flynn was the first to be targeted in the 'Russiagate' probe.
The FBI's interview of Flynn in January 2017 was "untethered to, and unjustified by, the FBI's counterintelligence investigation" into the former head of military intelligence, and conducted "without any legitimate investigative basis," the US Department of Justice said in a court filing on Thursday.
Attorney Jeffrey Jensen, who was charged by Attorney General William Barr to review the case, recommended this course of action in a document last week, the AP reported - presumably after Flynn's attorneys made public FBI documents that unequivocally showed that the general had been targeted for entrapment by a group of Bureau officials who had privately discussed an "insurance policy" in case of a Trump victory.
Asked about the news on Thursday afternoon, Trump called Flynn "an innocent man."
He also called the Obama administration holdovers in the FBI and the Justice Department who orchestrated Flynn's prosecution, "human scum" and their conduct "treason."
"What they've done is a disgrace, and I hope a big price is going to be paid," the president added.
It was disgraced agent Peter Strzok who intervened to keep Flynn's case open, and who later interviewed Flynn and apparently heavily edited the notes from that interview, with the help of Bureau lawyer - and his extramarital partner - Lisa Page. The interview was ordered by then-FBI Director Jim Comey, by his own admission.
The news of the charges being dropped comes just hours after the DOJ notified US District Judge Emmet Sullivan that prosecutor Brandon Van Grack was withdrawing from the Flynn case - as well as others linked to the investigation by special counsel Robert Mueller into allegations that Trump's campaign had "colluded" with Russia in the 2016 election.
More documents showed that Van Grack, Mueller's handpicked prosecutor, apparently coerced Flynn into pleading guilty by threatening to indict his son, then allegedly conspired with Flynn's attorneys to keep that secret. Flynn ultimately pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI about the content of his conversations with Russian ambassador to the US, Sergey Kislyak, during the transition period between the election and Trump's inauguration.
The former director of the Defense Intelligence Agency was the first feather in the cap of the 'resistance' to the Trump administration. Flynn was forced to resign less than a month into the job, after the Washington Post accused him of lying about his conversations with Kislyak, apparently based on FBI leaks. His prosecution has long been held up as proof there was something rotten within the Trump campaign, and the fact he pleaded guilty has been repeatedly used in political and media attacks on the administration, and even the impeachment hearings.

AP Exclusive: Justice Dept dropping Flynn's criminal case
''By MICHAEL BALSAMO and ERIC TUCKER
7 minutes ago''
WASHINGTON (AP) - The Justice Department on Thursday said it is dropping the criminal case against President Donald Trump's first national security adviser, Michael Flynn, abandoning a prosecution that became a rallying cry for Trump and his supporters in attacking the FBI's Russia investigation.
The move is a stunning reversal for one of the signature cases brought by special counsel Robert Mueller. It comes even though prosecutors for the last three years had maintained that Flynn had lied to the FBI about his conversations with the Russian ambassador in a January 2017 interview. Flynn himself admitted as much, and became a key cooperator for Mueller as he investigated ties between Russia and the 2016 Trump campaign.
In court documents being filed Thursday, the Justice Department said it is dropping the case "after a considered review of all the facts and circumstances of this case, including newly discovered and disclosed information." The documents were obtained by The Associated Press.
The Justice Department said it had concluded that Flynn's interview by the FBI was "untethered to, and unjustified by, the FBI's counterintelligence investigation into Mr. Flynn" and that the interview on January 24, 2017 was "conducted without any legitimate investigative basis."
The U.S. attorney reviewing the Flynn case, Jeff Jensen, recommended the move to Attorney General William Barr last week and formalized the recommendation in a document this week.
"Through the course of my review of General Flynn's case, I concluded the proper and just course was to dismiss the case," Jensen said in a statement. "I briefed Attorney General Barr on my findings, advised him on these conclusions, and he agreed."
The decision is certain to be embraced by Trump, who has relentlessly tweeted about the case and last week pronounced Flynn "exonerated," and energize supporters who have taken up the retired Army lieutenant general as something of a cause celebre. But it may also add to Democratic concerns that Attorney General William Barr is excessively loyal to the president, and could be a distraction for a Justice Department that for months has sought to focus on crimes arising from the coronavirus.

Rosenstein memo tasked Mueller to investigate already-discredited Steele allegations
Allegations in Rod Rosenstein's August 2017 scoping memo about Carter Page had already been traced to Russia intelligence misinformation campaign.
hen-Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein instructed Special Counsel Robert Mueller in August 2017 to investigate allegations against former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page that originated with the Steele dossier and had already been discredited by the FBI, a newly declassified memo showed Wednesday night.
The Justice Department's release of the unredacted version of Rosenstein's so-called investigative scoping memo provided the first declarative evidence that Mueller was asked to investigate widely suspect allegations from Christopher Steele's opposition research conducted for the Clinton campaign and Democratic Party back in 2016.
Specifically, Rosenstein's memo instucted Mueller to investigate "allegations that Carter Page committed a crime or crimes by colluding with Russian government officials with respect to the Russian government's efforts to interfere with the 2016 election for President of the United States, in violation of United States law." Recently declassified evidence has shown that by the time that instruction was given, the FBI had:
fired Steele as an informant for leaking;
interviewed Steele's sub-source, who disputed information attributed to him;
ascertained that allegations Steele had given the FBI specifically about Page were inaccurate and likely came from Russian intelligence sources as disinformation;
been informed repeatedly by the CIA that Page was not a Russian stooge but, rather, a cooperating intelligence asset for the United States government.
Former House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes, who long called for the release of the unredacted scoping memo, said Wednesday's development confirmed his worst suspicions. He accused prior officials of the Justice Department of unnecessarily hiding the evidence from Congress and the American people before Attorney General William Barr intervened.
"This information was redacted until now for one single reason - to hide the fact that false allegations from the Steele dossier were included in Mueller's scoping memo," Nunes told Just the News. "In other words, a bunch of lies paid for by the Democrats were used to engineer the appointment of a Special Counsel to drag the Trump administration through the mud for years. The Russia collusion hoax was a disgrace, and we can't let anything like it ever be repeated."
The degree to which the FBI had discredited Steele's intelligence reporting on Page - including allegations he colluded with Russia - only came into focus with the December, 2019 release of DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz's report on FBI abuses of the FISA surveillance that targeted Page. In addition, just-declassified evidence showed the FBI had learned by February 2017 that Steele's information on Page was likely disinformation from Russian intelligence planted with Steele.

Mike Flynn and the FBI's assault on American democracy
TIM BLACK COLUMNIST
7th May 2020
"Just over a year ago, the special counsel investigation into alleged Russian interference in the 2016 US presidential election ended with barely a whimper. The thousands of subpoenas, the myriad search warrants, the countless witness interviews - they all amounted to diddly squat. As the US attorney general William Barr summed it up at the time: 'The investigation did not establish that members of the Trump campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference activities.'
Admittedly, Mueller had succeeded in exposing some criminal wrongdoing - Michael Cohen, Trump's attorney, was sentenced to three years in prison for campaign-finance and fraud crimes, while Trump's campaign chief, Paul Manafort, was convicted of financial fraud. But these crimes were all tangential. None related to the object of the investigation - namely, proving that the Russian state colluded with the Trump campaign during and after the 2016 presidential election."

Grassley Lifts Hold on Counterintel Chief Nominee Evanina After AG Barr and DNI Grenell Release Russia Probe Documents
By Jim Hoft Published May 5, 2020 at 9:13am
After two years Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) finally lifted his hold on President Donald Trump's pick for counterintelligence chief, William Evanina.
Grassley was waiting for DOJ documents on possible links between the Trump campaign and Russia which he claimed were given to House committees for their investigations.
Senator Grassley praised AG William Barr and acting DNI Richard Grenell in a statement released on Monday adding that he did not question Evanina's credentials.
President Trump has nominated William Evanina for the post twice but Sen. Grassley had placed a hold on the nomination.
DNI Rick Grenell has only been acting DNI since February and is already making his presence known.
The Politico reported:
Sen. Chuck Grassley on Monday lifted his hold on President Donald Trump's pick to be the nation's counterintelligence chief, ending a blockade that began nearly two years ago.
Grassley initially blocked William Evanina's nomination to head the National Counterintelligence and Security Center in June 2018, demanding the Justice Department fork over documents on its probe of possible links between the Trump campaign and Moscow - which he claimed House committees received in their Russia investigations, including those related to Justice Department official Bruce Ohr, who became a go-between for former British spy Christopher Steele and the FBI.
In a statement submitted for the record Monday, Grassley stressed that he "did not question Mr. Evanina's credentials in any way" and said his change of heart came after he received the documents he requested, praising Attorney General William Barr and acting DNI Richard Grenell.
"If their predecessors had simply respected legitimate congressional oversight and their agreements with me and the Judiciary Committee from the beginning, Mr. Evanina would have been confirmed long ago," according to Grassley.
"Let this also be a reminder that when it comes to congressional oversight, I will use all the tools at my disposal to get to the truth of the matter and get access to the records that I believe are necessary to advance my investigations," he added.

FBI lashes 'prior' leadership in defense of Director

by Jerry Dunleavy
May 05, 2020 10:56 PM
"The FBI is fighting back against criticism leveled against Director Christopher Wray by Republicans who contend he botched the handling of the case against retired Lt. Gen. Mike Flynn.
Brian Hale, the FBI's assistant director for the Office of Public Affairs, released a statement on Tuesday that said the bureau chief "has fully cooperated and been transparent with" U.S. Attorney Jeffrey Jensen, appointed by Attorney General William Barr earlier this year to review the Flynn case. The FBI spokesman said Wray has also worked closely with DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz in his Crossfire Hurricane investigation as well as with U.S. Attorney John Durham, who was handpicked by Barr to lead an investigation of the Trump-Russia investigators.
Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio, the ranking Republican on the House Oversight Committee, and Mike Johnson of Louisiana sent a letter to Wray on Monday, saying that what they found "even more concerning" than the newly revealed details about the Flynn case was that "we continue to learn these new details from litigation and investigations - not from you." They further stated, "It is well past time that you show the leadership necessary to bring the FBI past the abuses of the Obama-Biden era.""

Matt Gaetz calls on AG Barr to ban use of Chinese drones in U.S. law enforcement
The Florida congressman cites a DHS report indicating Chinese drones may be used to collect U.S. infrastructure data to transmit back to the Chinese government
Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) is calling on Attorney General William Barr to order the grounding of all China-connected DJI drones used by law enforcement across the U.S. - including state and local agencies. DJI (Dà-Ji?ng Innovations) is a Chinese technology company that is suspected of using information from the drones used by U.S. law enforcement to feed sensitive data back to the Chinese government. In 2017, the Department of Homeland Security released a report, in which they determined that DJI had specifically marketed their product to local law enforcement agencies, and as a result, China is able to "provide DJI information to terrorist organizations ... to coordinate attacks against U.S. critical infrastructure."
The findings of DHS's report prompted the U.S. Army and the Department of the Interior to end their use of DJI drones. However, law enforcement agencies across the country continue to use them, and several dozen local agencies recently accepted a donation of the drones from DJI, despite the national security risk they pose. On a Fox News "Tucker Carlson Tonight" appearance, Gaetz spoke about his letter sent Monday to Barr and called the DJI drones a "Trojan horse spying operation in our country" that local police departments may unwittingly be helping.

Government gone too far? States rebuked for coronavirus lockdown measures
The Justice Department has sided with a Virginia church suing Gov. Ralph Northam after police threatened a pastor with jail time or a $2,500 fine for violating lockdown restrictions by holding a service on Palm Sunday - marking the latest incident where federal lawyers or local courts have challenged a state's stay-at-home mandates during the coronavirus pandemic.
U.S. Attorney General William Barr made it clear last month that federal prosecutors should "be on the lookout" for overly restrictive state and local shutdown orders that may infringe on people's constitutional rights - especially when it comes to the First Amendment.
"If a state or local ordinance crosses the line from an appropriate exercise of authority to stop the spread of COVID-19 into an overbearing infringement of constitutional and statutory protections, the Department of Justice may have an obligation to address that overreach in federal court," Barr said in an April memo.
While the DOJ - and district and state courts - have been mainly on the lookout for any lockdown measures that violate people's rights to practice their religion openly, a number of cases have headed to court over stay-at-home measures impinging on everything from business operations to quality-of-life issues.

Matt Gaetz urges William Barr to ground Chinese-made drones over possible data transmission to China
Rep. Matt Gaetz is calling on Attorney General William Barr to ground all Da Jiang Innovations drones owned and operated by U.S. government entities, including local and state law enforcement, over cybersecurity concerns that they may provide data to China.
Gaetz wrote in a Monday letter to Barr and Deputy Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen that there are considerable national security threats that could come from drones that are produced by the Chinese company DJI and are then distributed to state and local agencies.
The Florida Republican called his efforts a move to stop the potential transmission of sensitive information to China and credited authorities that have already banned the Chinese-made drones. The U.S. Army and Interior Department have previously suspended the use of these drones over possible security threats.
"The reason for these bans has been national security, grounded in well-established assessments that DJI UAS (drones) may transmit sensitive information to China," Gaetz wrote.
To help mitigate the coronavirus pandemic, DJI recently announced its Disaster Relief Program, which aimed to help equip public safety agencies throughout the United States with high-end technology for their operations during the COVID-19 spread. In April, the company announced it was distributing 100 drones to 45 police, fire, and public safety organizations in 22 states.
Gaetz said at least two drones were provided to the Daytona Beach Police Department in Florida.
"These 'donations' are deeply troubling to us," he wrote.
The company has responded to claims of spying, saying there is no ulterior motive to the drones being distributed to states and localities.
"Some people are trying to score ideological points by discouraging the use of important equipment and tools that save lives and protect American first responders," DJI Technology spokesman Adam Lisberg told Fox News.
Gaetz also appeared on the network's Tucker Carlson Tonight on Monday to discuss pressuring the Justice Department to investigate and ground these technologies.
"We should not be spied on by our own government and giving the information then to a foreign government that's hostile," Gaetz told Carlson.

Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), one of the leaders of the Democrats' failed impeachment push to remove President Donald Trump, called the deaths from the coronavirus "casualties" of the Senate's refusal to remove Trump from office in February. He appeared to suggest that all the deaths from coronavirus could be attributed to the fact that Donald Trump is president during this crisis.
"We certainly told the senators that he was not going to change and there was no way to constrain him, that he is who he is and he would continue to operate the way he had, and indeed that's exactly what we've seen since," Schiff told MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell. "Now the one thing I think we dramatically understated is when we asked the question, 'If you found him guilty, do you really need to remove him, given that there's another election only nine months away, how much damage could he do?'"
"We said a lot but little did we know just how great the casualties would be," Schiff argued. "Some days we lose the equivalent of the number of people we lost on 9/11. And you know I think there's no way we could have foreseen just how tragic his malfeasance would be in the remaining months of his administration."
Schiff may not have meant to say all or even most of the deaths from coronavirus are "casualties" of the failure of impeachment, but that is exactly what his words suggest.
Throughout the interview, the Democrat slammed Trump. He attacked the president for having originally said that the coronavirus would be no worse than the flu - a line uttered across the media in part because experts did not understand the virus thanks to the Chinese Communist Party's lies about it. He attacked the president for removing inspectors general such as Democratic favorite Glenn Fine.
While Trump arguably has made some missteps during the crisis, he has also arguably managed it rather well, given the knowledge available at the time. There is no reason to think most of the deaths could have been prevented, and had Trump issued a nation-wide stay-at-home order, Schiff would likely be crowing about his tyrannical overreach.
In fact, Schiff's decision to reach for impeachment arguably undermines his attack on the president.
When the first confirmed coronavirus case in the U.S. came on January 20, 2020, Schiff was focused on prosecuting the impeachment case. Trump wasn't acquitted by the U.S. Senate until February 5. On February 14, Democrats set their sights on Attorney General William Barr, perhaps beginning the process of impeaching him. That week, Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) floated the idea of impeaching Trump again - over his tweets.

"TOP FBI Investigator Walks Away Free After Possession of Child Porn"
Congrats to FBI Director Christopher Wray and U.S. Attorney General William Barr for allowing a top FBI intelligence analyst to walk away free from potential possession of child pornography charges.
The Department of Justice Office of the Inspector General (OIG) initiated this investigation upon the receipt of information from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Inspection Division (INSD) alleging that a then FBI Supervisory Intelligence Analyst (SIA) had stated, during a routine FBI security inquiry, that the SIA had viewed and downloaded child pornography from the internet several years earlier. The SIA denied ever receiving or sending child pornography.
The OIG obtained and forensically examined the SIA's personal and FBI issued devices. Our examination identified pornographic images on the SIA's personal devices, and the OIG took several steps to determine whether the images represented child pornography, including providing such images to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. Based on the SIA's statements during the security interview, the OIG investigation concluded that the SIA had knowingly possessed child pornography, in violation of federal law and FBI policy.
The SIA was summarily dismissed by the FBI while the OIG investigation was pending.
Prosecution of the SIA was declined.

Grassley Lifts Hold on Counterintel Chief Nominee Evanina After AG Barr and DNI Grenell Release Russia Probe Documents
After two years Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) finally lifted his hold on President Donald Trump's pick for counterintelligence chief, William Evanina.
Grassley was waiting for DOJ documents on possible links between the Trump campaign and Russia which he claimed were given to House committees for their investigations.
Senator Grassley praised AG William Barr and acting DNI Richard Grenell in a statement released on Monday adding that he did not question Evanina's credentials.
President Trump has nominated William Evanina for the post twice but Sen. Grassley had placed a hold on the nomination.
DNI Rick Grenell has only been acting DNI since February and is already making his presence known.
The Politico reported:
Sen. Chuck Grassley on Monday lifted his hold on President Donald Trump's pick to be the nation's counterintelligence chief, ending a blockade that began nearly two years ago.
Grassley initially blocked William Evanina's nomination to head the National Counterintelligence and Security Center in June 2018, demanding the Justice Department fork over documents on its probe of possible links between the Trump campaign and Moscow - which he claimed House committees received in their Russia investigations, including those related to Justice Department official Bruce Ohr, who became a go-between for former British spy Christopher Steele and the FBI.
In a statement submitted for the record Monday, Grassley stressed that he "did not question Mr. Evanina's credentials in any way" and said his change of heart came after he received the documents he requested, praising Attorney General William Barr and acting DNI Richard Grenell.
"If their predecessors had simply respected legitimate congressional oversight and their agreements with me and the Judiciary Committee from the beginning, Mr. Evanina would have been confirmed long ago," according to Grassley.
"Let this also be a reminder that when it comes to congressional oversight, I will use all the tools at my disposal to get to the truth of the matter and get access to the records that I believe are necessary to advance my investigations," he added.

Barr urges Trump administration to back off call to fully
strike down Obamacare
By Kaitlan Collins, Joan Biskupic and Evan Perez, CNN
Updated 1315 GMT (2115 HKT) May 5, 2020
"Washington (CNN)Attorney General William Barr made a last-minute push Monday to persuade the administration to modify its position in the Obamacare dispute that will be heard at the Supreme Court this fall, arguing that the administration should pull back from its insistence that the entire law be struck down.
With a Wednesday deadline to make any alterations to its argument looming, Barr made his case in a room with Vice President Mike Pence, White House counsel Pat Cipollone, members of the Domestic Policy Council, press secretary Kayleigh McEnany and several other officials. The meeting ended without a decision and it was not immediately not clear if any shift in the Trump administration's position will emerge.
Barr and other top advisers have argued against the hard-line position for some time, warning it could have major political implications if the comprehensive health care law appears in jeopardy as voters head to the polls in November.
According to four sources familiar with the meeting, Barr argued for modifying the administration's current stance to preserve parts of the law, rather than fully back the lawsuit filed by a group of Republican states. As it stands now, the Trump administration's position seeks to invalidate the entire Affordable Care Act, signed by President Barack Obama in 2010 and commonly known as Obamacare."

'He's a tough guy': Actor Paul Giamatti says 'hardass' John

"Actor Paul Giamatti gave U.S. Attorney John Durham some credit for informing his character on Showtime's Billions.
The Hollywood star plays fictional U.S. Attorney-turned-New York Attorney General Chuck Rhoades, who is loosely based on former U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara, on the show, but Bharara isn't the only inspiration for the role. Speaking with GQ last week, Giamatti revealed that Durham influenced the portrayal of his character too.
"There was a guy that was interesting to me early on, and his name is John Durham," he said. "And he's actually the guy who William Barr tagged to do the investigation of the Russia investigation. He used to be the federal attorney for the state of Connecticut, and he's a pretty intense guy."

Why House Democrats need to put up a fight on Fauci's
testimony
Opinion by Elie Honig
Updated 1015 GMT (1815 HKT) May 5, 2020
"(CNN)House Democrats last week sought testimony from Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, about the Trump administration's handling of the coronavirus crisis. The White House quickly stepped in to block it, claiming that Fauci's testimony would be "counter-productive." Now the ball is back in the House Democrats' court, and they've given no indication of doing anything more than dropping it and skulking away.
But if House Democrats ever intend to get real answers about the administration's response to the coronavirus from Fauci or anybody else they need to toughen up.
If this all sounds familiar, that's because it is. Just in the past year, we've seen this lopsided dance between Congress and the White House, time and again first when the House tried to investigate after the release of special counsel Robert Mueller's report, then during the impeachment investigation (and, in between, over testimony from Attorney General William Barr). Each time it's been the same pattern: The House demands crucial information, the White House tells the House to take a hike and the House does next to nothing to stand up for itself.
Sure, there have been rare exceptions. A few courageous executive branch employees Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, former Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch and others defied White House instructions and testified in the House impeachment proceedings. And the House (after inexplicably waiting nearly four months after the release of the Mueller report) finally went to court and followed through in its effort to compel testimony from former White House counsel Don McGahn.
The still-ongoing McGahn case, and possibly the pending Supreme Court case involving Trump's tax returns, will answer a crucial question: Will the courts step in and compel the executive branch to comply with congressional subpoenas? If the ultimate answer from the courts is "no," then it's game over, as the White House can freely disregard House subpoenas with no legal intervention."

Retired CIA officer predicts Trump and his spy chiefs will be 'outmaneuvered' by intelligence community
On the eve of a confirmation hearing for President Trump's pick for director of national intelligence, a retired CIA officer is predicting that the president and his future spy chiefs will be largely "outmaneuvered" by the intelligence community. Trump in February renominated Texas Rep. John Ratcliffe to become the next director of national intelligence after the lawmaker previously withdrew his name following criticism over his credentials. Ratcliffe is set to appear before the Senate on Tuesday for a confirmation hearing. In the meantime, Richard Grenell, who was the U.S. ambassador to Germany, is filling the role.
"I take solace in my confidence that Mr. Trump will learn, even after the Senate confirms Mr. Ratcliffe and the president replaces still more professionals with less capable political loyalists, that gagging the intelligence community will be far more difficult than hushing the Justice Department or overriding the wisdom of our medical institutions," Douglas London, who retired from the CIA in 2018, wrote in a Monday op-ed for the New York Times. London, whose last assignment was chief of counterterrorism for South and Southwest Asia, noted that despite Grenell's "parroting the president's politicized inaccuracies" on the coronavirus pandemic, "he has also failed at breaking the intelligence community's determination to do its job." "Try as he might, neither he nor the president can prevent a vast majority of these nonpolitical patriots from doing their jobs," he said. "What limits the damage can be better understood by contrasting the D.N.I. with the head of the Justice Department. Unlike Attorney General William Barr, neither Mr. Grenell nor Mr. Ratcliffe shares his work force's background or training. They are, at best, novices at intelligence and lack the degree of control over their 17 agencies that Mr. Barr enjoys over the Justice Department," he continued. London went on to compliment U.S. intelligence officials, saying, "Intelligence professionals operate with significant responsibility and under intense pressure. Far too many who reach the top succumb to the temptations of political compromise and power. But a vast majority are largely immune to political pressure, or sufficiently proud and arrogant to withstand it." "The president's current feckless, politicized use of the intelligence community could not have come at a worse time and will no doubt get worse as he grows more desperate and fearful of the coronavirus's impact on his own fortunes," he concluded. "But President Trump, Mr. Grenell and Mr. Ratcliffe (should he be confirmed) will often be overwhelmed and outmaneuvered by the intelligence community's independence and skill. As the president continues to learn the hard way, the community is not his personal secretariat."
Trump took heat for his renomination of Ratcliffe, who was first elected in 2014 and sits on both the Judiciary and Homeland Security committees in the House. The Texas congressman is an ardent defender of the president, which was reflected throughout the House impeachment process and in his questioning of then-special counsel Robert Mueller.

He doesn't look like what you normally think these guys are gonna look like, and he's a tough guy, too. He's a hardass."
Durham, the top federal prosecutor in Connecticut, was handpicked by Attorney General William Barr last year to lead an investigation into the origins of the Russia investigation and the actions taken by law enforcement and the intelligence community during it. The effort has since turned into a criminal investigation, and at least one former FBI lawyer is under criminal investigation after it was uncovered that he altered a document related to the surveillance of a Trump campaign adviser. Last week, it was reported that Durham is focused on the Justice Department's handling of its case against retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn after recently released FBI notes showed that agents discussed Flynn's possible prosecution before they interviewed him. He is also putting scrutiny on CIA Director John Brennan and any undue influence he may have had during 2017's intelligence community assessment of Russian interference. Durham's review is expected to wrap up this summer.

Trump not happy with FBI Director Christopher Wray following unsealing of documents in Flynn case: Report
President Trump is growing increasingly sour on FBI Director Christopher Wray but is unlikely to remove him from his post before the November election, according to a new report. Trump "would love to replace" Wray, three sources told Axios this week, but the president has been deferring to Attorney General William Barr on matters of Justice Department staffing. New revelations in the case of former national security adviser Michael Flynn have sparked Trump's renewed frustration with Wray, the outlet reported.
Documents that were unsealed last week showed top FBI officials discussed whether the goal of an interview with Flynn was to "get him to lie so we can prosecute him or get him fired" under previous director James Comey. The documents showed former FBI agent Peter Strzok blocked the FBI from closing its investigation into Flynn after the agency found no "derogatory information" in early January 2017. Trump seized on the news, calling Comey and other leaders in the federal law enforcement community at the time "dirty, filthy cops." "A source who has discussed the FBI director repeatedly with the president said Trump 'has never felt like Wray was his guy' and does not trust him to 'change the culture" of the FBI,'" Axios reported. Wray has hesitated to criticize Comey and other FBI officials who are often the target of Trump's ire. "Actions described in this report that [he] considered unacceptable and unrepresentative of who we are as an institution," Wray said last year in reaction to a department inspector general report finding a litany of improper procedures Comey's FBI conducted while investigating Trump and his associates. "[It is] important that the inspector general found that, in this particular instance, the investigation was opened with appropriate predication and authorization."

The Justice Department has filed a statement of interest in support of a church embroiled in a legal battle with the commonwealth of Virginia after its pastor was issued a criminal citation for hosting a service in violation of the state's stay-at-home order.
It is the second action of its kind by the Justice Department as Attorney General William Barr seeks to crack down on social distancing restrictions that he says unfairly target religious institutions.
On April 5, Lighthouse Fellowship Church, a congregation in Chincoteague Island, allegedly hosted a 16-person service in violation of the governor's executive orders banning in-person religious services of more than 10 people. The church's pastor received a criminal citation and summons, which carry penalties of up to a year in jail and a $2,500 fine."

https://thehill.com/regulation/court-battles/495591-Barr-signals-doj-support-for-lockdown-protesters
When Attorney General William Barr this week directed U.S. prosecutors to safeguard civil liberties amid state-level pandemic orders, he signaled Justice Department support for lockdown protesters by highlighting religious and economic rights.
In a two-page memo, the nation's top cop gave the clearest indication yet of the kind of battles federal prosecutors are likely to focus on. In doing so, Barr suggested the Department of Justice (DOJ) might back church groups and those seeking a swifter economic reopening while staying on the sidelines of fights over new limits on abortion and voting access.
Barr on Monday directed the nation's 93 U.S. attorneys to "be on the lookout" for health restrictions that could be running afoul of constitutional rights and "if necessary, take action to correct them."
"We do not want to unduly interfere with the important efforts of state and local officials to protect the public," Barr wrote. "But the Constitution is not suspended in times of crisis."
The Supreme Court has long held that constitutional rights can be lawfully restricted to some degree when emergency health orders are in place. But the line demarcating where one begins and the other ends is something of a legal gray area.

The (Almost) Debunking of Christopher Steele, Stopped By Bill Priestap
The FBI's former head of the Counterintelligence Division, Bill Priestap, whose unsealed notes discussed the FBI's possible motivations for setting up then-National Security Adviser Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, is also allegedly responsible for stopping FBI Special Agents from doing an 'enhanced asset validation review' of the former British spy, whose now debunked dossier launched the investigation into President Donald Trump's campaign, sources with knowledge told this reporter.
On Wednesday, Judge Emmet Sullivan ordered four pages of emails and handwritten notes to be unsealed in the case of Flynn. Then, on Thursday, another 11 pages of internal text messages and emails between FBI Special Agents were unsealed by the court, after they were discovered by U.S. Attorney Timothy Shea, as well as U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Missouri Jeffrey Jensen, who was appointed by Attorney General William Barr to oversee the Flynn case.
The January 2017 handwritten notes by Priestap suggested that the FBI was targeting Flynn and, in the notes, Priestap writes, "what is our goal? Truth/Admission or to get him to lie, so we can prosecute him or get him fired?"
Priestap could not be immediately reached for comment.
In Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz's December report on the origins of the Russia investigation, he revealed that it was Priestap who made the final decision to launch the Russia probe. The FBI probe against the Trump campaign was called "Crossfire Hurricane," and in the case of Flynn it was "Crossfire Razor." After years of congressional and Department of Justice investigations, evidence revealed that former British spy Christopher Steele, who was paid by the DNC and Hillary Clinton campaign to investigate Trump, had purveyed Russian disinformation and made up sources in his now debunked dossier. Horowitz's investigation also revealed that Steele had been manipulated by Russian intelligence, who had fed him lies about the Trump administration with the specific intent to sow chaos in the 2016 U.S. election.
Normally an enhanced validation review in the FBI is triggered "if a source is paid more than $100,000 per year for information, or the source's information is so critical that it can shape national policy or trigger some sort of diplomatic or military action. In this case, an enhanced validation of Steele would have been the appropriate course of action given the fact that this had the potential to impact our Presidential election. In this context, it becomes very questionable as to why Priestap would shut it down," said the former senior FBI official.
The biggest question raised by Horowitz and members of Congress was how did Steele's dossier become the main piece of evidence used to gather a secret warrant on Trump campaign advisor Carter Page, and why did the FBI believe the information? Horowitz's investigation revealed that the FBI never bothered to conduct an asset validation on Steele and according to the former FBI official, who spoke to this reporter, it was Priestap who insured that they didn't do it.

Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos has been ordered to testify before Congress by the House Judiciary Committee, which has accused the corporation of lying about its private labeling practices to cover up possible antitrust violations.
In a letter the committee sent to Bezos on Friday, the e-commerce behemoth is accused of making "misleading, and possibly criminally false or perjurious statements" in previous testimony before the judiciary. Citing Amazon's sworn testimony that it "does not use any seller data to compete with [third-party merchants]," the committee contrasted those claims with a recent Wall Street Journal investigation that, having interviewed 20 Amazon employees, found the opposite to be the case.
Also on rt.com Amazon, Google, and Apple have moved past monopoly status to competing directly with governments... and winning
Asking Bezos to testify "on a voluntary basis," the committee hinted that it "reserve[s] the right to resort to compulsory process, if necessary." It reminded the CEO that a request for "documents and communications related to Amazon's relationship with sellers, including...use of third-party sellers' data" made seven months previously in the course of the committee's antitrust probe had not been satisfactorily fulfilled.
The letter slammed Amazon for exploiting its dominant role in the e-commerce market to "appropriate the sensitive commercial data of individual marketplace sellers" and using it to compete with them directly. It noted that the activities alleged in the Journal article are "bolstered by other investigative journalism, as well as the preliminary findings of the European Commission," which launched its own antitrust probe against Amazon last year.
The company did not just deny using third-party sellers' data once, the committee reminded Bezos - its executives made the claim multiple times, both in written and spoken testimony, accumulating quite a potential pile of falsehoods.
Also on rt.com Amazon will be fined ?100,000 for EVERY 'non-essential' delivery in France after court rejects appeal in worker safety dispute
In a letter to Attorney General William Barr earlier this week, Senator Josh Hawley (R-Missouri) demanded a criminal antitrust probe of Amazon, citing the same Wall Street Journal investigation. He accused the corporation of using "predatory and exclusionary data practices to build and maintain a monopoly."
Amazon is already the subject of multiple federal- and state-level investigations and is also being probed by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) - as are Facebook, Apple, and Google. However, Bezos is the only one of the 'big four' tech CEOs who has not previously testified before Congress. The executive accused of making false statements is Amazon's associate general counsel, Nate Sutton.
Despite the many probes targeting the mammoth tech corporations, however, punishments have been few and far between - in the US, at least. Facebook was fined US$5 billion last year by the FTC, and Google was ordered to pay US$170 million by the same body for violating children's privacy on YouTube.

Q Research General #11483: Things Are not Always As They Appear Edition
WASHINGTON (AP) - Lawyers for President Donald Trump's first national security adviser, Michael Flynn, released internal FBI emails and notes that they hope will bolster their allegations that Flynn was entrapped when he was questioned at the White House three years ago.
The documents were made public Wednesday evening as Flynn seeks to withdraw his guilty plea to lying to the FBI and makes broad assertions of law enforcement misconduct. U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan has rejected many of the defense arguments but has yet to rule on whether Flynn can take back his guilty plea.
Meanwhile, a federal prosecutor from Missouri is reviewing the Justice Department's handling of the case at the direction of Attorney General William Barr. The department said the notes were produced to the defense as part of that ongoing review.
It remains unclear what bearing the documents will have on the case or how significant the judge will determine them to be. But Flynn has emerged as something of a cause celebre in recent months for supporters of the president, who have rallied around the retired Army lieutenant general and seized on the findings of a harshly critical watchdog report on the Russia investigation to try to cast doubt on the entire probe."

Flynn's defense claims FBI notes show agents tried to
entrap the former national security adviser
Spencer S. Hsu, Matt Zapotosky and Devlin Barrett,
The Washington Post Published 7:22 pm PDT
Wednesday, April 29, 2020
"WASHINGTON - New documents turned over by the Justice Department show FBI officials debated whether and when to warn Michael Flynn that he could face criminal charges as they prepared for a pivotal January 2017 interview in which the former national security adviser later admitted to lying about his Russia contacts.
The documents show law enforcement seeming to contemplate in advance that Flynn would lie to them - with an unidentified person even musing in handwritten notes whether their purpose was to induce a lie, before ultimately concluding they should "protect our institution by not playing games."
"What is our goal? Truth/admission or to get him to lie, so we can prosecute him or get him fired?" an unidentified person wrote in notes apparently taken before Flynn was interviewed on Jan. 24, 2017, four days after Donald Trump took office.
The new documents were turned over to Flynn's defense April 24 and filed publicly Thursday after Attorney General William Barr in January ordered a review of how the former three-star Army general's case was handled by special counsel Robert Mueller III's investigation."

As Michael Flynn seeks to withdraw guilty plea, unsealed
documents could help attack FBI's case
NBC News Tom Winter and Pete Williams
April 29, 2020
"A federal judge late Wednesday unsealed a new set of documents provided to lawyers for Michael Flynn, the former Trump national security adviser who is seeking to withdraw his guilty plea, that could provide them with new ammunition to attack the FBI's handling of the case.
One of the pages is a handwritten note, apparently from an FBI official, about the bureau's interview with Flynn. "What's our goal? Truth/Admission or get him to lie, so we can prosecute him or get him fired?" Elsewhere, it says, "we have a case on Flynn + Russians."
It is unclear who wrote the note or whether it was ever sent to anyone else. The document was turned over to Flynn's lawyers by Jeffrey Jensen, a U.S. attorney in Missouri appointed by Attorney General William Barr to examine the Flynn investigation.
Flynn pleaded guilty in 2017 to charges that he lied to the FBI by falsely denying that he had conversations with Russia's ambassador to the United States during the Trump transition. But he has since replaced his original legal team with a new group of lawyers, and they have aggressively argued that Flynn was tricked into lying."

Josh Hawley -
Pushes DOJ for Amazon Sticky-fingers investigation on 3rd party seller data theft.
The memo was inspired by a WSJ report, published last week, claiming that Amazon does, in fact, use data gleaned from 'third-party sales' - that is, when third-party merchants sell their products on the site instead of Amazon selling directly - something that representatives of the company have denied before Congress.
In a letter addressed to AG William Barr, Hawley urged federal prosecutors to investigate Amazon's business practices, saying recent reports suggest the company "has engaged in predatory and exclusionary data practices to build and maintain a monopoly."

April 27, 2020
VIA ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSION
The Honorable William Barr
Attorney General
Department of Justice
Dear Attorney General Barr:
On February 15, 2017, as Chairman of the Judiciary Committee, I wrote to the Department with Ranking Member Feinstein, requesting a copy of the call transcript between Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn and the Russian ambassador and the FBI report summarizing the intercepted call. Instead of providing the requested records, and as a result of my questions and concerns relating to the Flynn case, I received a briefing from then-Director Comey on March 15, 2017. In that briefing, Director Comey stated that the FBI agents that interviewed Lt. Gen. Flynn, "saw nothing that led them to believe [he was] lying" and he led us to believe that the Department was unlikely to prosecute Flynn for false statements. Later, during Comey's book tour, he denied any memory of those comments.
On May 11, 2018, I requested categories of documents relating to the Flynn case from Deputy Attorney General Rosenstein, including call transcripts, 302s, and other potentially exculpatory evidence and requested to interview a fact witness to the case, Special Agent Pientka.
On May 29, 2018, the Department responded and declined to produce the requested records and arrange for Special Agent Pientka to be interviewed. The Department also admitted in that letter that it had yet to provide all exculpatory evidence to Flynn.
On June 6, 2018, I wrote a follow-up letter to Deputy Attorney General Rosenstein and noted that if the facts of the case are inconsistent with the plea agreement, that would be an extraordinarily concerning finding and one that would warrant continued congressional oversight. I further noted in that letter that the United States Congress has a separate, independent, constitutional interest in all information, including exculpatory information, relating to the Flynn case. After that June 2018 letter, my staff and I met with Deputy Attorney General Rosenstein where he resisted congressional oversight and suggested that Congress should be satisfied with the facts described in the plea agreement. It is certainly in the interest of Congress and the American people to know whether the FBI and the Department withheld facts in the course of their investigation and prosecution of an American citizen that are materially inconsistent with his plea.
This is no ordinary criminal case. One of the agents who interviewed Lt. Gen. Flynn, Peter Strzok, was later removed from the Russia investigation after his texts demonstrating animus and bias toward the President were discovered. Additionally, former Director McCabe was fired for lack of candor regarding a leak to the Wall Street Journal, and Lt. Gen. Flynn was an adverse witness in a pending sexual discrimination case against Mr. McCabe at the time Mr. McCabe was supervising an inquiry targeting Lt. Gen. Flynn.[1] Further, the Flynn case was at the center of a political firestorm over the President's alleged statements about it to Director Comey. Moreover, Flynn himself "had told both White House Counsel and the Chief of Staff at least twice that the FBI agents had told him he would not be charged,"[2] which is consistent with what Director Comey told me and my staff. The FBI's conduct is ripe for congressional oversight.
According to an April 24, 2020, letter from the interim U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, Timothy Shea, the Attorney General directed that the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Missouri conduct an independent review of the Flynn case. As a result of this review, the EDMO has identified and produced new documents to Flynn's legal team, which they have publicly characterized as exculpatory evidence.
Simply stated, after years of rampant speculation and publicly reported inconsistencies regarding how the FBI handled the case, it's time for the public to know the full set of facts relating to Lt. Gen. Flynn, including any and all government misconduct. In light of the extraordinary public and congressional interest in this case, I request that you work with Flynn's attorneys to unseal these new records provided to them so that the public can access the material. In the alternative, I request that you amend the protective order so that Congress can review the information in light of its constitutional oversight prerogatives.
Sincerely,
Charles E. Grassley
Chairman
Committee on Finance

Flynn's Former Lawyers Covington And Burling Turn Over Another Trove Of Docs, Again
Covington and Burling LLP, the former defense team for former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn, turned over thousands of more pages of documents to Flynn's new defense team that should have been submitted more than a year ago. Last week, another batch of documents withheld by former Special Counsel Robert Mueller's team on Flynn was turned over to his defense that allegedly reveals that the retired three-star general did not commit any crimes, as suggested by Department of Justice prosecutors.
This new batch of voluminous documentation turned over by his former defense team - which includes emails, texts, voice messages, notebooks, handwritten notes and legal documents - amounted to approximately 6,800 additional documents bringing the total amount of documents to roughly 669,800, along with attachments.
In early April, Flynn's former law firm revealed to the court that it had discovered emails and handwritten notes that were not turned in with the original batch of millions of documents that were required by the court to be turned over last year. At the time, they suggested the delay was due to technical issues since being ordered by the presiding federal judge six months ago to turn over all documents.
At the time, presiding Federal Judge Emmet T. Sullivan, ordered the law firm to 'promptly turn over the entire file' on Flynn to his new defense attorney Sidney Powell. That order was made under threat of a hearing before the District of Columbia Ethics Counsel. The law firm turned over what is described as a 'voluminous' amount of documents but it apparently wasn't all the documents. In early April the law firm hinted in its supplemental notice filed with the court that there may even be more documents still to be produced.
Powell told this reporter Tuesday that she is astonished that Covington and Burling LLP had failed to locate the documents earlier and just now turned over another voluminous batch to her team.
"The Flynn defense is stunned that Covington and Burling has only now found thousands of additional documents amounting to more than 17,000 pages that should have been produced to the defense almost a year ago," she stated. Powell, who has been battling for documents from the Department of Justice as well, said the enormity of documents withheld from Flynn's defense is proof of the misconduct against her client.
Powell obtained the new information from the DOJ after an extensive review by attorneys appointed by U.S. Attorney General William Barr to review Flynn's case. Barr's team included United States attorney in St. Louis, Jeff Jensen, who is handling the Flynn matter, along with prosecutors from the office of the deputy attorney general, Jeffrey A. Rosen. The documented evidence Powell said will exonerate Flynn was delivered to Powell but is under court seal.

Amazon In Legal Hot Water? Republican Senator Calls For Criminal Probe Of Company's Data Practices
Amazon's use of third-party seller data may land the e-commerce giant in legal hot water. On Tuesday, Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., called for a criminal investigation of Jeff Bezos' company for potential "predatory and exclusionary data practices to build and maintain a monopoly."
Hawley made the request in a letter sent to U.S. Attorney General William Barr. His accusations stemmed from a recent Wall Street Journal report which alleged that company employees have abused third-party seller data to develop Amazon-branded rival products.
"These practices are alarming for America's small businesses even under ordinary circumstances," Hawley argued in his letter. "But at a time when most small retail businesses must rely on Amazon because of coronavirus-related shutdowns, predatory data practices threaten these businesses' very existence."
The company previously denied using sales data from individual companies during a 2019 hearing with the House Antitrust Committee. However, documents obtained by the Journal coupled with interviews from former Amazon employees suggest that the company had been doing just that.
Amazon has denied the allegations, claiming that such actions would violate company policy, and has launched an investigation into the matter. Speaking with the Verge, a company spokesperson said that its employees are not allowed to use "seller-specific data" for the purposes of choosing which products to develop.
"It's simply incorrect to suggest that Amazon was intentionally misleading in our testimony," a spokesperson said in another statement to CNBC.
The Department of Justice has confirmed the receipt of Hawley's letter and is currently reviewing its claims.
Elected in 2018, Hawley has made a habit of criticizing the practices of tech companies and taking them to task for potential privacy or antitrust violations. At 40, he is the youngest member of the Senate.

Gen. Flynn Lawyer to PAINE: Key Documents Could Be Unsealed as Soon As Today
The lead counsel for retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn said records that were filed under seal last week that may exonerate her client could be released publicly as soon as Tuesday.
Sidney Powell, the lead lawyer for the former National Security Advisor of President Trump, gave an update early Tuesday morning to True Pundit's Thomas Paine. Powell informed Paine that if the documents were not unsealed today, she expected the records to be unsealed on Wednesday.
Earlier Monday night on Fox News, Powell, a former federal prosecutor, said she was told by an assistant U.S. attorney assigned to the case that they are working on having the records disclosed publicly.
Powell said on Monday that her client's plea - which had arisen when he had previously been represented by the high-profile white collar firm Covington & Burling - was "coerced by a lack of information and a threat to his son's prosecution," which she noted is reflected in the documents that her team filed in the public docket last week.
The U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Missouri Jeffrey Jensen was named by Attorney General William Barr in January 2020 to investigate the Flynn case.

Amazon, Google, and Apple have moved past monopoly status to competing directly with governments... and winning
US Senator Josh Hawley is demanding a criminal antitrust probe of Amazon as the e-commerce behemoth's powers grow to rival the government's own. Google and Apple, too, are now ordering governments around.
Amazon "abuses its position as an online platform and collects detailed data about merchandise so Amazon can create copycat products under an Amazon brand," Hawley charged in a letter he sent to US Attorney General William Barr on Tuesday. The senator (R-MO) demanded a criminal probe of the e-commerce giant, accusing it of engaging in "predatory and exclusionary data practices to build and maintain a monopoly" - a textbook violation of antitrust law.
Charging that Amazon has gained unprecedented monopoly power through the sheer wealth of data it has collected on its users, allowing it to clone sellers' products and undercut them on price, the senator likened the company's "capacity for data collection" to "a brick and mortar retailer attaching a camera to every customer's forehead." With the coronavirus pandemic forcing the lion's share of commerce online, Amazon has assumed near-omnipotence.
Even if all of Hawley's allegations - derived from a Wall Street Journal investigation published earlier this month - are proven 100 percent true, it's questionable whether the Justice Department would be willing (or able) to punish Amazon.
In some ways, the company is at least as powerful as the government whose laws it goes through the motions of obeying. Amazon's cloud servers host the CIA, the Department of Homeland Security, the Defense Department, and other US agencies, meaning if the company decided to throw a temper tantrum in response to legal penalties (as it threatened to do in France) government operations could be severely disrupted.

Flynn's Former Lawyers Covington And Burling Turn Over Another Trove Of Docs, Again By Sara Carter -April 28, 2020

"The Flynn defense is stunned that Covington and Burling has only now found thousands of additional documents amounting to more than 17,000 pages that should have been produced to the defense almost a year ago," she stated. Powell, who has been battling for documents from the Department of Justice as well, said the enormity of documents withheld from Flynn's defense is proof of the misconduct against her client.
Powell obtained the new information from the DOJ after an extensive review by attorneys appointed by U.S. Attorney General William Barr to review Flynn's case. Barr's team included United States attorney in St. Louis, Jeff Jensen, who is handling the Flynn matter, along with prosecutors from the office of the deputy attorney general, Jeffrey A. Rosen. The documented evidence Powell said will exonerate Flynn was delivered to Powell but is under court seal.
Tuesday's supplemental notice, which was signed by Flynn's former defense counsel Robert Kelner with Covington and Burling LLP, stated that the reason the documents were turned over so late to Powell was due to "an unintentional miscommunication involving the firm" information technology personnel had led them, in some instances, to run search terms on subsets of emails the firm had collected for its response to document requests United States v. [Bijan] Rafiekian, the case involving Mr. Flynn's business partner and their FARA-related work through their consulting firm, rather than on the broader sets of emails that should have been searched."
Rafikian, Flynn's former business partner, had been indicted on two criminal counts by government prosecutors, which included conspiracy to act as an agent of a foreign government, according to his original unsealed indictment. Rafiekian's conviction, however, was overturned in an unexpected move by the court, which cited that prosecutors had 'insufficient evidence' to prove their case against him.

Q Research General #11451: The FUD Gates Have Opened Edition
Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) sent a letter to Attorney General William Barr on Tuesday, urging him to open a criminal antitrust investigation against Amazon for stifling competition.
According to a Wall Street Journal report released last week, Amazon used data and sales to develop its own, competing products against other businesses competing on its Amazon marketplace. The Journal wrote:
The online retailing giant has long asserted, including to Congress, that when it makes and sells its own products, it doesn't use information it collects from the site's individual third-party sellers-data those sellers view as proprietary.
Yet interviews with more than 20 former employees of Amazon's private-label business and documents reviewed by The Wall Street Journal reveal that employees did just that. Such information can help Amazon decide how to price an item, which features to copy or whether to enter a product segment based on its earning potential, according to people familiar with the practice, including a current employee and some former employees who participated in it.
In one instance, Amazon employees accessed documents and data about a bestselling car-trunk organizer sold by a third-party vendor. The information included total sales, how much the vendor paid Amazon for marketing and shipping, and how much Amazon made on each sale. Amazon's private-label arm later introduced its own car-trunk organizers.
Hawley contended that Amazon's business practices serve as an existential threat to small businesses competing against Amazon on the Internet giant's marketplace.
"These practices are alarming for America's small businesses even under ordinary circumstances. But at a time when most small retail businesses must rely on Amazon because of coronavirus-related shutdowns, predatory data practices threaten these businesses' very existence," the Missouri senator wrote.
"Abusing one's position as a marketplace platform to create copycat products always is bad, but it is especially concerning now," Hawley added. "Thousands of small businesses have been forced to suspend in-store retail and instead rely on Amazon because of shutdowns related to the coronavirus pandemic. Amazon's reported data practices are an existential threat that may prevent these businesses from ever recovering."
Hawley noted that the European Union already opened an investigation into Amazon using data in an anticompetitive fashion against third-party businesses.
"In the light of the enormous evidence already gathered, I ask that you look into this issue and open a criminal antitrust investigation of Amazon," Hawley wrote.

whoa i didnt know that was Barr too
''William Barr was Attorney General when Ruby Ridge occurred.
Does William Barr still endorse "wartime rules" and a "007 standard" that absolve federal agents for questionable shootings of Americans? Does Barr consider "illegal government killings" to be an oxymoron? Best of all, can Barr explain to us his understanding of the phrase "government under the law"?

Barr Blocks Release Of 9/11 Documents Despite Promises To Victims' Families
I think the 9/11 families have lost all hope that the president is going to step up and do the right thing.
Unfortunately, William Barr does not have a record of trustworthy actions. As far back as 1989 Barr discussed his belief that the FBI could legally abduct people in foreign countries without the consent of the foreign government. The opinion was revealed in a leaked legal memo authored by Barr while he was serving as the head of the Justice Department's Office of Legal Counsel (OLC). Barr chose to withhold the full memo and asked the public to trust his conclusion.
In the weeks after 9/11, when the U.S. government began to seize powers to roundup foreign citizens, spy on Americans, and torture anyone accused of terrorism, Newsweek noted that Barr had played a role in paving the way for such actions.
More recently, Barr has been involved in perpetuating the myth that encryption is a tool that only terrorists and dangerous criminals use and launching anorwellian pre-crime program. In October 2019, MintPress News reported that Barr had recently laid the groundwork for this new program.
Barr would go on to issue a memorandum to all U.S. attorneys, law enforcement agencies, and high level Justice Department officials calling for the implementation of a new "national disruption and early engagement program" aimed at detecting potential mass shooters before they commit any crime. This memo called for the DOJ and FBI to "refine our ability to identify, assess and engage potential mass shooters before they strike." Barr called for the pre-crime program to be implemented in early 2020.
The blocking of state secrets related to the September 11 attacks is just the latest in a long line of cover ups and corrupt practices by Attorney General William Barr.

Donald Barr also wrote this sci-fi novel, Space Relations, about sex slavery in space.
Epstein went on to build a career in finance and became a multimillionaire. He served time in 2008 as a sex offender for having molested 36 girls, some as young as 14.
In July 2019, Epstein was arrested on federal charges of sex trafficking of minors in Florida and New York. Epstein committed suicide while being held in US Federal custody on August 10, 2019.
US Attorney General William Barr was appointed by the Trump administration in February 2019.

Barr tells prosecutors to watch for pandemic restrictions that violate Constitution
Attorney General William Barr on Monday directed federal prosecutors to "be on the lookout" for public health measures put in place amid the coronavirus pandemic that might be running afoul of constitutional rights.
In a two-page memorandum to the 93 U.S. attorneys, Barr cautioned that some state and local directives could be infringing on protected religious, speech and economic rights.
"If a state or local ordinance crosses the line from an appropriate exercise of authority to stop the spread of COVID-19 into an overbearing infringement of constitutional and statutory protections, the Department of Justice may have an obligation to address that overreach in federal court," Barr wrote.
ADVERTISEMENT
In his memo, Barr said he was directing two Department of Justice (DOJ) prosecutors to monitor the measures taken by state and local governments and "if necessary, take action to correct them."
"Many policies that would be unthinkable in regular times have become commonplace in recent weeks, and we do not want to unduly interfere with the important efforts of state and local officials to protect the public," Barr wrote. "But the Constitution is not suspended in times of crisis."
"We must therefore be vigilant to ensure its protections are preserved, at the same time that the public is protected," he added.
The Supreme Court has long held that constitutional rights can be lawfully restricted when emergency public health measures are in place, though the precise scope of government public health power is not clearly defined.
Legal experts caution that governments can be prone to overreach amid exigent circumstances.
"In times of emergency - including public health emergency - the temptation to violate individual rights is at its greatest, and the courts have often been called on to defend the rights of the vulnerable," Harvard Law professor Glenn Cohen previously told The Hill.
Earlier this month, a federal judge in Kansas blocked an order from the state's Democratic Gov. Laura Kelly that restricted in-person religious assemblies to no more than 10 people.
Barr has previously warned state and local governments against enacting restrictions that singled out religious gatherings and the Justice Department filed a memo in support of a Mississippi church that sought to offer drive-in church services.
"Even in times of emergency, when reasonable and temporary restrictions are placed on rights, the First Amendment and federal statutory law prohibit discrimination against religious institutions and religious believers," Barr said in an April 14 statement.

Q Research General #11444 Even the Left Has Noticed ~ Fake News in Full Panic Edition
Matthew Whitaker to release book detailing alleged DOJ efforts to sabotage Trump
Former acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker will release a book next month detailing what he says was a plot by Justice Department "deep state" insiders to sabotage President Trump. It is rare for former heads of federal agencies to write books blasting their former departments. It is even more surprising because Mr. Whitaker has kept a low profile since leaving the Justice Department last year. An advertisement for the book posted on Amazon over the weekend promises to provide "a stunning account of what he found in the swamp that is Washington."
Mr. Whitaker said he will reveal how former FBI Director James B. Comey and other top Justice Department figures openly worked against Mr. Trump and how a "deep state" of Washington insiders use the media to achieve its goals. The book will also reportedly disclose how former special counsel Robert Mueller quickly concluded that members of the Trump campaign did not collude with Russia's election-interference efforts but kept the investigation active "as an act of political subversion." A Justice Department spokesperson did not respond to requests for comment.
"Above the Law: The Inside Story of How the Justice Department Will Try to Subvert President Trump," will be released May 19, according to an advertisement on Amazon posted over the weekend. Conservative book publisher Regnery Publishing is releasing the 256-page book. "The Department of Justice had been steered off course by a Deep State made up of Washington insiders who saw themselves as above the law. Recklessly inverting, bending, and breaking the law to achieve their own political goals, they relentlessly undermined the Constitution by flaunting the rightful authority of a President they despised," it said. Rep. Devin Nunes, California Republican and former chairman of the House intelligence committee, wrote the foreword.
Mr. Whitaker served as chief of staff for former Attorney General Jeff Sessions until he was elevated to acting attorney general after his boss' resignation in November 2018. He ran the department until the confirmation of Attorney General William Barr in February 2019. Initially, it was reported that Mr. Whitaker would stay on at the Justice Department, but he left quickly after Mr. Barr took over. Since his departure, Mr. Whitaker has stayed out of the spotlight, save for a handful of appearances on Fox News.

Stone Says FBI Recommended 'no jail time' If He Turned On Trump. He Refused To Lie For FBI.
Longtime Trump ally Roger Stone gave an explosive interview to the Sara Carter Show Monday, revealing that the FBI had tried to pressure him on the contents of 29 phone conversations he shared with his good friend President Donald Trump during Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation. He told this reporter that he refused to lie for the FBI against his friend and in the end that's why the bureau brought erroneous charges against him that had nothing to do with their now debunked Russia probe. Stone, who is supposed to begin his 3 year jail sentence Friday, has seen his life and that of his family turned upside down. He has lost his home, his life savings, his insurance and his ability to make an income. He said in the end, he wonders if he'll survive his jail sentence as a 67-year-old man due to the COVID19 outbreak, while others like disgraced lawyer Michael Avenatti have been released for 90 days due to the outbreak. "On July 24th, 2019, the Mueller prosecutors offered my lawyers a deal," said Stone. "If Stone will fess up, if he will re-characterize thirty phone conversations between myself and candidate Trump, which they had phone records of, but no tapes of. If I would correctly remember the way they wanted me to, they would recommend no jail time for me and I refused. That's what this whole atrocity has been about."
He described the shock when the FBI conducted a predawn raid on his home on Jan. 24, saying they terrorized his family and used an unimaginable amount of firepower, tactical vehicles and manpower brought to his home that morning. He also discussed the fact that CNN had arrived 11 minutes before the FBI raid, with cameras ready to record the incident and blast it across the globe. More importantly, he questioned why FBI Director Christopher Wray continues to obstruct the conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch from obtaining internal email communications between the FBI and CNN that he says would reveal what agents tipped off cable network about the raid. He called Wray 'nothing more' than a Washington D.C. "swamp creature." "Did Christopher Wray approve this over-the-top attack on my home," said Stone. "This question was asked by Senator Lindsey Graham. But unfortunately Senator Graham rarely follows up on his T.V. talk. We still don't know who approved this." "These are the kind of tactics you would expect from the Gestapo," said Stone, who remembers his hearing-impaired wife being forced outside in her bare feet and robe while the agents tore his house apart. "These are the kind of tactics you would expect in Soviet Russia and it all became clear what this was about and I haven't said this in many places."
There are similar circumstances between Stone's case and that of National Security Advisor Army Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, whose case is now being investigated by St. Louis U.S. Jeff Jensen, appointed by Attorney General William Barr. Stone and Flynn were both targeted by Mueller's prosecutors, to include Andrew Weissmann, Jeannie Rhee and others, whose political affiliations with Hillary Clinton were seen in both political donations, political affiliations and employment connections. Rhee, for example, was a former Deputy Assistant Attorney General for the Department of Justice and was also on Clinton's legal team defending the Clinton Foundation before joining Mueller's team. "I was targeted for political reasons just as General Mike Flynn was the decision to prosecute me came long after Robert Mueller knew that there was no Russian collusion between any Russian entity or anyone in the Trump campaign or surrounding Donald Trump for a solid year," said Stone. "The mainstream media CNN MSNBC The New York Times The Washington Post others The Daily Beast insisted that I would be charged by Robert Mueller for treason, for espionage, for trafficking in stolen emails for cyber crimes for campaign finance violations. And there was a constant drumbeat...I did my best to counterpunch because I was not gagged at that time and I now know that the Mueller team misrepresented the facts to several federal judges in order to get search warrants for my home my office and my apartment."

Deep State Barr Blocks Release Of 9/11 Documents Despite Promises To Victims' Families.
On Monday, U.S. Attorney General William Barr, acting director of national intelligence Richard Grenell, and other senior officials called on a federal judge to prevent the disclosure of files related to the role of the government of Saudi Arabia in the September 11 attacks. The officials told the judge in the civil case that the release of the files would endanger national security.
The files are being sought by families of the 9/11 victims who have spent the last two decades attempting to uncover the truth about the attacks. The families filed a lawsuit in federal district court in New York in 2017 as part of their effort to uncover the role of the Saudi government. What is publicly known is that the alleged 9/11 hijackers had a relationship with Saudi government officials. As Pro Public reported, at the 2019 White House September 11 memorial, U.S. President Donald Trump promised the families he would help them uncover the truth about 9/11.
Pro Publica notes that four statements from FBI and Justice Department officials were also under seal and can not be seen by the public. Another five statements from FBI, Justice Department, and CIA officials were only seen by the judge and could not even be shared with the families' lawyers. Steven Pounian, a lawyer for the families also suggested that there must be some deep, dark secret that they're still trying very hard to hide after almost 20 years, and that it might be a Saudi government secret
I think the 9/11 families have lost all hope that the president is going to step up and do the right thing.
Unfortunately, William Barr does not have a record of trustworthy actions. As far back as 1989 Barr discussed his belief that the FBI could legally abduct people in foreign countries without the consent of the foreign government. The opinion was revealed in a leaked legal memo authored by Barr while he was serving as the head of the Justice Department's Office of Legal Counsel (OLC). Barr chose to withhold the full memo and asked the public to trust his conclusion.

This memo called for the DOJ and FBI to "refine our ability to identify, assess and engage potential mass shooters before they strike." Barr called for the pre-crime program to be implemented in early 2020.
The blocking of state secrets related to the September 11 attacks is just the latest in a long line of cover ups and corrupt practices by Attorney General William Barr.

US Attorney General Barr adds to coverup in death of Jeffrey Epstein
US Attorney General William Barr backtracked on comments he made last August about the circumstances surrounding the death of convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, telling the Associated Press on Friday that a series of mistakes by prison authorities gave the multimillionaire Wall Street consultant the opportunity to kill himself in his jail cell on August 10.
Barr said that although he initially had "suspicions" about Epstein's death under federal custody at the Metropolitan Correctional Center (MCC) in Manhattan, he had come to the conclusions that it was a suicide. Barr added, "I can understand people who immediately, whose minds went to sort of the worst-case scenario because it was a perfect storm of screwups."
The AP report said Barr drew his conclusion "after the FBI and the Justice Department's inspector general continued to investigate," adding that he "sought to dampen conspiracy theories by people who have questioned whether Epstein really took his own life, saying the evidence proves Epstein killed himself."
Barr told the AP that "he personally reviewed security footage that confirmed that no one entered the area where Epstein was housed on the night he died." However, it is not clear what video Barr reviewed, since prior to the AP interview it had been widely reported that both surveillance cameras near Epstein's cell were discovered to be dysfunctional following their removal as part of the FBI investigation.
Barr gave his interview two days after two MCC prison guards, Tova Noel and Michael Thomas, were arrested and charged on multiple counts in connection with their failure to monitor Epstein during the hours preceding his death. The guards, who had worked overtime shifts and extended hours at the understaffed facility, have been accused of "sleeping and browsing the internet" between 10:30 p.m. and 6:30 a.m., when they should have been checking on Epstein every half-hour. They are also charged with filing fraudulent reports.
An attorney for one of the two, both of whom have pled not guilty, has said that the guards are being "scapegoated." Even if the claims against them are true, the lawyer notes, such violations are normally considered prison employee disciplinary issues and not criminal actions.
The guards discovered Epstein with a noose made of bed sheets around his neck when they entered his cell in the morning to bring him breakfast.
Epstein had been in prison for more than a month before his death. He was arrested by the FBI on July 6 at Teterboro Airport in New Jersey and charged with multiple counts of sex trafficking, with victims including underage females.
On August 12, two days after Epstein was found dead, Barr gave comments to the press in which he seemed to question the claims of suicide, saying the Department of Justice was "now learning of serious irregularities at this facility that are deeply concerning and demand a thorough investigation."
Although Barr is now endorsing the finding of the New York medical examiner that Epstein died from "suicide by hanging" and says that his conclusion is based on an investigation conducted by the FBI and the Justice Department inspector general, the details of this investigation have not been made public.

Epstein had been in prison for more than a month before his death. He was arrested by the FBI on July 6 at Teterboro Airport in New Jersey and charged with multiple counts of sex trafficking, with victims including underage females.
On August 12, two days after Epstein was found dead, Barr gave comments to the press in which he seemed to question the claims of suicide, saying the Department of Justice was "now learning of serious irregularities at this facility that are deeply concerning and demand a thorough investigation."
Although Barr is now endorsing the finding of the New York medical examiner that Epstein died from "suicide by hanging" and says that his conclusion is based on an investigation conducted by the FBI and the Justice Department inspector general, the details of this investigation have not been made public.

>ok id say we definately agree about the fuckery surrounding epsteins death. but how did Barr cover it up?
US Attorney General Barr adds to coverup in death of Jeffrey Epstein
US Attorney General William Barr backtracked on comments he made last August about the circumstances surrounding the death of convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, telling the Associated Press on Friday that a series of mistakes by prison authorities gave the multimillionaire Wall Street consultant the opportunity to kill himself in his jail cell on August 10.
Barr said that although he initially had "suspicions" about Epstein's death under federal custody at the Metropolitan Correctional Center (MCC) in Manhattan, he had come to the conclusions that it was a suicide. Barr added, "I can understand people who immediately, whose minds went to sort of the worst-case scenario because it was a perfect storm of screwups."
The AP report said Barr drew his conclusion "after the FBI and the Justice Department's inspector general continued to investigate," adding that he "sought to dampen conspiracy theories by people who have questioned whether Epstein really took his own life, saying the evidence proves Epstein killed himself."
Barr told the AP that "he personally reviewed security footage that confirmed that no one entered the area where Epstein was housed on the night he died." However, it is not clear what video Barr reviewed, since prior to the AP interview it had been widely reported that both surveillance cameras near Epstein's cell were discovered to be dysfunctional following their removal as part of the FBI investigation.
Barr gave his interview two days after two MCC prison guards, Tova Noel and Michael Thomas, were arrested and charged on multiple counts in connection with their failure to monitor Epstein during the hours preceding his death. The guards, who had worked overtime shifts and extended hours at the understaffed facility, have been accused of "sleeping and browsing the internet" between 10:30 p.m. and 6:30 a.m., when they should have been checking on Epstein every half-hour. They are also charged with filing fraudulent reports.
An attorney for one of the two, both of whom have pled not guilty, has said that the guards are being "scapegoated." Even if the claims against them are true, the lawyer notes, such violations are normally considered prison employee disciplinary issues and not criminal actions.

Barr: Timetable of John Durham review unrestrained by
2020 election
by Jerry Dunleavy
April 22, 2020 04:08 PM
"The nation's top law enforcement officer said the 2020 election will have no bearing on the Justice Department's review of the Russia investigation.
Attorney General William Barr, in an interview on Hugh Hewitt's radio show on Tuesday, also said U.S. Attorney John Durham's inquiry into the origins of the Crossfire Hurricane operation and into the conduct of associated law enforcement officers and intelligence officials is proceeding full speed ahead amid the coronavirus pandemic but stressed indictments are not imminent.
Hewitt said there are DOJ guidelines related to announcing either indictments or the end of an investigation close to an election because of the impact it might have on who wins, noting these rules factored into then-FBI Director James Comey's statement in July 2016 declaring that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton had been "extremely careless" in her handling of classified information on her private email server but that "no reasonable prosecutor" would bring an indictment against her. Hewitt pressed Barr on what Durham's deadline was and whether any political considerations were being made.
Barr said Election Day was not going to be a factor for when Durham releases his likely report or for when he may press charges.
"As far as I'm aware, none of the key people that, whose actions are being reviewed at this point by Durham, are running for president," Barr said.
"I think, in its core, the idea is, you don't go after candidates," he added. "You don't indict candidates or perhaps someone that's sufficiently close to a candidate, that it's essentially the same, you know, within a certain number of days before an election. But, you know, as I say, I don't think any of the people whose actions are under review by Durham fall into that category."
There has been some debate about whether Durham should avoid making any significant moves or announcements close to the presidential election, which is shaping up to be a contest between President Trump and presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden.
Andrew McCarthy, a former chief assistant U.S. attorney in New York and senior fellow at the National Review Institute, recently said, "The closer it gets to Election Day, the more any charges he brought would be framed by the media as kind of a Trump campaign stunt." The former federal prosecutor also warned the investigation will go "down the memory hole" if Trump does not win reelection in November.
With the review about a year in, Hewitt asked Barr if he was "shocked" by anything Durham had briefed him on so far, to which Barr said he "wouldn't use the word shocked," though he said he was "very troubled" by some of what he learned.
"I think the reason that we have this investigation is because there are a lot of things that are unexplained," Barr said. "And I think we're getting deeply into the situation, and we'll be able to sort out exactly what happened.""

John Durham investigating classified media leaks about
Michael Flynn
by Jerry Dunleavy
April 24, 2020 07:34 PM
Updated Apr 24, 2020, 08:02 PM
"U.S. Attorney John Durham is investigating the leaks of potentially classified information to the media in early 2017 about President Trump's former national security adviser, Lt. Gen. Mike Flynn, who resigned before getting swept up in special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation.
Durham, picked by Attorney General William Barr last year to lead a review of the actions taken by law enforcement and intelligence officials during the Russia investigation, is looking into media leaks, which dominated the Trump transition period and the early days of the Trump administration, including at least one widely reported story which revealed secretive details about Flynn's contacts with a Russian envoy, according to sources cited in a new report by the New York Times.
The report signals the breadth of the DOJ investigation is wider than previously known, as Durham's team is looking into claims made by Republicans that Obama holdovers were intentionally trying to kneecap Trump's presidency by weaponizing sensitive information through the media.
The Connecticut federal prosecutor is reportedly looking into a Jan. 12, 2017 article in the Washington Post by columnist David Ignatius, which said Flynn "cultivates close Russian contacts" and cited a "senior U.S. government official" who revealed Flynn had talked to now-former Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak on Dec. 29, 2016, which was the same day President Barack Obama expelled 35 Russian officials. It is likely that this revelation, and subsequent leaks about the alleged contents of Flynn's discussions with Kislyak, were based on classified information. Ignatius also raised the possibility that Flynn had violated the Logan Act, a rarely enforced law, which former Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates and other Obama DOJ holdovers at least considered using against Flynn. Ignatius said he wanted answers on those issues about Flynn to avoid a "Shakespearean tragic ending" for Trump's presidency.
The New York Times report said it is not known whether Durham has taken over a preexisting media leaks investigation or his is separate. It is also not known whether Durham is scrutinizing any other leaks."

The Dawn of Justice for General Michael Flynn?
by Larry C Johnson
25 APRIL 2020
"Based on conversations with friends and reading comments on conservative websites, there is a lot of frustration and doubt with respect to Attorney General William Barr and whether he will drop the hammer on the Deep Staters, such as Brennan, Clapper and Comey, for their respective roles in fomenting and promoting a coup to take out Donald Trump. The impatience and frustration is quite understandable, but recent developments indicate that Barr is not going to let these creeps off the hook.
To understand Barr's supposed sloth–i.e., why he has not already indicted or prosecuted bent officials like Andy McCabe or Peter Strzok–you must realize that the US Attorney who runs things in the District of Colombia works in a massive building about 6 blocks north of the Department of Justice, i.e. The Judiciary Center at 555 Fourth St., N.W. in Washington, DC. While that US Attorney in theory answers to Barr, in reality that Attorney is free to pursue her or his own agenda. To make matters worse, that US Attorney has an Army of attorneys at her (now his) disposal. This is where Robert Mueller's horde of corrupt attorneys hung out when Jesse Liu was in charge. Now, Timothy Shea is running things and appears to be less inclined to pursue his own agenda. Still, he is surrounded by a nest of vipers."

John Durham expands investigative team amid coronavirus outbreak
By Jerry Dunleavy
April 23, 2020 - 10:12 AM
U.S. Attorney John Durham has expanded his team as his review of the Trump-Russia investigators ramps up during the coronavirus pandemic, which has gripped the country and swept the globe.
The top federal prosecutor for Connecticut selected additional team members for his investigative effort in recent weeks, adding agents from the FBI as well as the chief of the Violent Crimes and Narcotics Trafficking Section for the U.S. attorney's office in Washington, Anthony Scarpelli, according to sources cited by CNN. Durham, who has been running the operation out of Connecticut and D.C., drove down to Washington a few weeks ago to keep the investigation moving even as the COVID-19 virus hampered many law enforcement efforts nationwide.
The CNN report said Durham requested witness information in March and April.
Attorney General William Barr said in an interview this week that Durham's investigation into the origins of the Crossfire Hurricane operation and the conduct of associated law enforcement officers and intelligence officials is proceeding full speed ahead, and the timing of a report or possible criminal charges will not be based on the 2020 election calendar. But, he stressed, an announcement or possible indictments are not imminent.
Scarpelli has spent the last two years leading the office in charge of the fight against murder and the drug trade in Washington. Before that, he was the deputy chief of that office, according to his LinkedIn profile. Scarpelli also spent a year as an assistant U.S. attorney in the U.S. Virgin Islands, 14 years as an assistant U.S. attorney in Washington, and eight years as an assistant prosecutor for Middlesex County in New Jersey.

Deep State Barr Blocks Release Of 9/11 Documents Despite Promises To Victims' Families.
On Monday, U.S. Attorney General William Barr, acting director of national intelligence Richard Grenell, and other senior officials called on a federal judge to prevent the disclosure of files related to the role of the government of Saudi Arabia in the September 11 attacks. The officials told the judge in the civil case that the release of the files would endanger national security.
The files are being sought by families of the 9/11 victims who have spent the last two decades attempting to uncover the truth about the attacks. The families filed a lawsuit in federal district court in New York in 2017 as part of their effort to uncover the role of the Saudi government. What is publicly known is that the alleged 9/11 hijackers had a relationship with Saudi government officials. As Pro Public reported, at the 2019 White House September 11 memorial, U.S. President Donald Trump promised the families he would help them uncover the truth about 9/11.
Pro Publica notes that four statements from FBI and Justice Department officials were also under seal and can not be seen by the public. Another five statements from FBI, Justice Department, and CIA officials were only seen by the judge and could not even be shared with the families' lawyers. Steven Pounian, a lawyer for the families also suggested that there must be some deep, dark secret that they're still trying very hard to hide after almost 20 years, and that it might be a Saudi government secret
I think the 9/11 families have lost all hope that the president is going to step up and do the right thing.

>>8910965 BOOM! Flynn docs exonerate, defense says
New court documents filed under seal include significant exculpatory information about Michael Flynn, President Donald Trump's former National Security Adviser, an FBI official familiar with the situation told The Federalist on Friday. The new documents, which were filed under seal by the Department of Justice Friday, allegedly include exonerating evidence about Flynn, who pleaded guilty to lying to federal investigators about his conversations with foreign diplomats as Trump's top incoming foreign policy adviser and is currently attempting to withdraw his plea, as well as evidence of malfeasance by the FBI during its investigation of Flynn.
According to the FBI official who spoke to The Federalist, FBI general counsel Dana Boente led the charge internally against DOJ's disclosure of the new materials. Boente, who briefly served as acting Attorney General after Trump became president, personally signed off on one of the federal spy warrants against former Trump campaign affiliate Carter Page. The new documents, which were filed under a protective order by DOJ on Friday, will reflect poorly on the FBI, the official told The Federalist. It is not clear when, or even if, those documents will be unsealed and made available to the public for review.
Because the documents were filed under seal, The Federalist has not been able to review them independently. Neither the Department of Justice nor the White House responded to requests for comment about the newly filed court documents or their legal or political implications. Trump has reportedly been weighing whether to issue a pardon for Flynn.
Multiple investigative reports issued by the DOJ Office of Inspector General revealed myriad instances of corruption by FBI officials throughout the multi-year investigation of Trump and his campaign. Former FBI director James Comey was even referred for criminal investigation by the inspector general. Attorney General William Barr, who was confirmed by the Senate and sworn into office last year, appointed a seasoned federal prosecutor to investigate and determine whether other DOJ or FBI officials broke the law in attempt to oust Trump from office.
The federal judge overseeing the government's case against Flynn refused to throw out his conviction last year, but is still considering whether to allow Flynn to withdraw his guilty plea. Flynn has charged his previous counsel with a conflict of interest and ineffective counsel. Sidney Powell, Flynn's current attorney, did not respond immediately to a request for comment on the matter.
Powell tweeted last month that the FBI was "still hiding evidence of Flynn's innocence" and has noted repeatedly that the FBI has failed to produce the original written FBI account, known as a 302, of its agents' conversation with Flynn that led to charges against him.
Sean Davis is the co-founder of The Federalist.

Durham's New 'Spygate' Arena: The Courtroom?
Investigative reporter John Solomon revealed April 17 on Fox Business Network's "Lou Dobbs Tonight" that his sources are saying a "handful" of indictments related to the FBI's handling of its 2016 investigation into the Trump campaign are coming.
One thing I've learned from following all the twists and turns of the ever-expanding "Spygate" scandal is that Solomon has excellent sources. He's often been the first to reveal things from his sources that were later found to be accurate.
In response to host Lou Dobbs's reminder that we are four years into uncovering evidence about what these plotters did in their attempt to take down a president, and yet not one person has been held accountable, Solomon replied:
"I will say this: There is some fairly significant evidence at this very moment, this week, the last couple of weeks alone, that there is some criminal investigative activity that I think will result in some actions coming out.
"So it's not going to be a lot; don't expect 10 or 12 indictments, but there could be a handful of indictments and much more information."
Attorney General William Barr has stated several times he expects John Durham and the team of U.S. attorneys he's leading in probes of the various facets of the "Crossfire Hurricane" investigation to begin wrapping up their investigative work sometime in "late spring or early summer."
If what Solomon's sources are telling him is true, it suggests we're about to see the story of the Spygate scandal shift to a completely different arena.

The Washington Examiner reached out to the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Columbia for comment.
Little else is publicly known about the composition of Durham's team, although it is known he selected Sarah Karwan, who has been with the Connecticut federal office since 2007, to serve as the chief of the U.S. Attorney's Office's Criminal Division back in January.
Prior to nationwide coronavirus lockdown orders, CNN reported Durham had been spending multiple days each week inside a Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility reviewing classified documents related to the federal government's investigations into Russian interference and Trump's campaign. The report said Durham is also taking a close look at the FBI's deeply flawed Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act targeting onetime Trump campaign associate Carter Page.
It is almost certain that one of the topics being reviewed by Durham's team is intelligence reports on Russian disinformation efforts revealed in recently declassified footnotes from Department of Justice Inspector General Michael Horowitz's report on the FBI's Russia investigation. Newly public information from the watchdog report showed the bureau had been aware of warnings that Russian intelligence efforts may have compromised British ex-spy Christopher Steele's dossier, which was relied upon to obtain FISA warrants to surveil Page.
Horowitz's lengthy December report criticized the Justice Department and the FBI for at least 17 "significant errors and omissions" related to the FISA warrants against Page in 2016 and 2017 and for the bureau's reliance on Steele's unverified dossier. Steele put his research together at the behest of the opposition research firm Fusion GPS, which was funded by Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign and the Democratic National Committee through the Perkins Coie law firm.
CNN also cited half a dozen sources confirming that Durham is scrutinizing former CIA Director John Brennan and former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, with a special focus on the 2017 Intelligence "harm her electability and potential presidency," and "developed a clear preference" for Trump. The National Security Agency diverged on one aspect, expressing only "moderate confidence" that Putin actively tried to help Trump win and Clinton lose.
A Senate Intelligence Committee report, released Tuesday, found the 2017 spy assessment "presents a coherent and well-constructed intelligence basis for the case of unprecedented Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election." The Senate investigators did not find evidence of undue political pressure by Brennan or anyone else.
But the Senate investigation did shine new light on the effort by FBI leadership, including FBI Director James Comey, to include allegations from Steele's salacious dossier in the 2017 spy assessment. The bureau is pointing to a directive by President Barack Obama to explain their failed effort to include the dossier in the main text of the 2017 report. It was instead relegated to a still-classified appendix.

Attorney General William Barr said in an interview this week that Durham's investigation into the origins of the Crossfire Hurricane operation and into the conduct of associated law enforcement officers and intelligence officials is proceeding full speed ahead, and the timing of a report or possible criminal charges will not be based upon the 2020 election calendar. But, he stressed, an announcement or possible indictments are not imminent.
Scarpelli has spent the last two years leading the office in charge of the fight against murder and the drug trade in D.C. Before that, he was the deputy chief of that office, according to his LinkedIn profile. Scarpelli also spent a year as an assistant U.S. attorney in the U.S. Virgin Islands, 14 years as an assistant U.S. attorney in D.C., and eight years as an assistant prosecutor for Middlesex County in New Jersey.
Little else is publicly known about the composition of Durham's team, although it is known he selected Sarah Karwan, who has been with the Connecticut federal office since 2007, to serve as the chief of the U.S. Attorney's Office's Criminal Division back in January.
Prior to nationwide coronavirus lockdown orders, CNN reported Durham had been spending multiple days each week inside a Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility reviewing classified documents related to the federal government's investigations into Russian interference and Trump's campaign. The report said Durham is also taking a close look at the FBI's deeply flawed Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act targeting onetime Trump campaign associate Carter Page.
It is almost certain that one of the topics being reviewed by Durham's team is intelligence reports on Russian disinformation efforts revealed in recently declassified footnotes from Department of Justice Inspector General Michael Horowitz's report on the FBI's Russia investigation. Newly public information from the watchdog report showed the bureau had been aware of warnings that Russian intelligence efforts may have compromised British ex-spy Christopher Steele's dossier, which was relied upon to obtain FISA warrants to surveil Page.
Horowitz's lengthy December report criticized the Justice Department and the FBI for at least 17 "significant errors and omissions" related to the FISA warrants against Page in 2016 and 2017 and for the bureau's reliance on Steele's unverified dossier. Steele put his research together at the behest of the opposition research firm Fusion GPS, which was funded by Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign and the Democratic National Committee through the Perkins Coie law firm.
CNN also cited half a dozen sources confirming that Durham is scrutinizing former CIA Director John Brennan and former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, with a special focus on the 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment of the Kremlin meddling in 2016's presidential election.
Durham is reportedly looking into numerous highly sensitive issues, including whether Brennan took politicized actions to pressure the rest of the intelligence community to match his conclusions about Russian President Vladimir Putin's motivations during the 2016 presidential election.
The 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment concluded with "high confidence" that Putin "ordered an influence campaign in 2016" and that Russia worked to "undermine public faith" in U.S. democracy, "denigrate" Clinton and "harm her electability and potential presidency," and "developed a clear preference" for Trump.

John Durham expands investigative team amid coronavirus outbreak
U.S. Attorney John Durham has expanded his team as his review of the Trump-Russia investigators ramps up during the coronavirus pandemic, which has gripped the country and swept the globe. The top federal prosecutor for Connecticut selected additional team members for his investigative effort in recent weeks, adding agents from the FBI, as well as the chief of the violent crimes and narcotics trafficking section for the U.S. attorney's office in Washington, D.C., Anthony Scarpelli, according to sources cited by CNN. Durham, who has been running the operation out of Connecticut and D.C., drove down to Washington a few weeks ago to keep the investigation moving even as the COVID-19 virus hampered many law enforcement efforts nationwide.

In April of 2019, ranking member of the House Intelligence Committee, Devin Nunes (R-CA) sent a notification to the Justice Department about eight criminal referrals of individuals who can be blamed for the origins of the Trump-Russia investigation. Shortly after, on May 1st, Attorney General William Barr announced the Justice Department opened "multiple criminal leak investigations" relating to the handling of the Russia collusion investigation.

3 Ways Your Cat Asks for Help
Dr. Marty
Nunes has just revealed that one of the criminal referrals he sent focuses on "whether or not intelligence was manipulated for political purposes." Specifically, Nunes is referring to the 158-page "bipartisan" report the intelligence community put together on alleged Russian election interference in 2017. Nunes refers to the report as "Obama's dossier" and told Fox Business' Lou Dobbs that it was "suspect' the U.S. intelligence community put it together in a matter of several weeks, at the behest of former President Barack Obama."
The 2017 intelligence community report declared its "moderate' to 'high' confidence that Russian President Vladimir Putin and the Kremlin sought to boost then-candidate Donald Trump's 2016 election chances" reports The Washington Examiner. Representative Nunes not only says all the documents should never have been classified in the first place, hiding "critical information" from the public, but he also plans to send more criminal referrals to the Justice Department.
Nunes says Republicans are eager to fully investigate because Democrats "weaponized" the Mueller report and Steele Dossier. Lou Dobbs asked Nunes if he believes anything will ever come from the criminal referrals, to which Nunes responded, "well that is the million-dollar question" but that he wants the audience to know "house Republicans have not stopped this investigation, so no matter what Pelosi...they can put out phony reports, do phony impeachments, our investigation continues."
Nunes added they have been looking at the "three dossiers" the Steele dossier, Obama's dossier, and the Mueller report, as well as plans to interview three Russian Americans and are looking at making additional criminal referrals. "We also need an investigation about why were all these things redacted so long by the Department of Justice and the FBI?" questioned Nunes. "Why did we just find out in the last few weeks what was hidden behind the Horowitz reports in the footnotes?... What ticks me off is there was no reason for these to be redacted and I want answers." Nunes concluded, "We still need more declassified. There are too many things hiding from the American public."
We agree.

"On April 14, former Philadelphia Deputy Mayor Herbert Vederman was told he had been selected for early release amid the coronavirus pandemic, along with most of his fellow inmates at the minimum-security prison camp in upstate New York where he is serving a sentence for his conviction in the political corruption case that brought down U.S. Rep. Chaka Fattah.
Vederman moved to a medium-security lockup to serve out a 14-day quarantine period and was eagerly counting down the days until he could finish the rest of his two-year term under confinement at his home in West Palm Beach, Florida. But on Monday - one week before 74-year-old's scheduled departure - the U.S. Bureau of Prisons reversed course. In a decision that has caused chaos for dozens of federal inmates and their families, and sowed confusion among wings of the executive branch, U.S. prison administrators revoked several of their earlier release decisions this week and said they would no longer consider inmates who had served less than half of their sentences. The decision has left inmates like Vederman - who is just two months shy of that benchmark - in limbo."

Sara Carter: Senior FBI Officials Knew Steele Dossier was Bogus All Along
Sara Carter, the investigative reporter, told "The Buck Sexton Show" Wednesday that last week's declassification of Department of Justice Inspector General Michael Horowitz's FBI report clearly shows that top FBI officials knew Christopher Steele's dossier was filled with Russian disinformation.
Carter said the footnotes expose FBI officials and members of the Crossfire Hurricane team that investigated the Trump campaign.
She also said, according to her sources, those exposed may include Obama officials James Clapper, the former National Intelligence head, and John Brennan, the former director of the CIA. She said it is becoming apparent that they knew all along about the alleged Russian disinformation campaign.
"The question is, knowing that they knew this: Why did they continue to do it, and what is their culpability?" Carter, host of"The Sara Carter Show Podcast,"asked.
The DOJ's watchdog footnotes were released last week by Sens. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, and Ron Johnson, R-Wisc. The footnotes shed light on the information the FBI used to secure a FISA warrant into Carter Page, the Trump campaign aide.
One footnote read, "Despite multiple reports in 2017 warning that claims in an anti-Trump dossier were "false" and "part of a Russian disinformation campaign," the FBI continued to rely on the Democrat-funded opposition research to spy on a Trump campaign aide.
Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Calif., told Buck Sexton, the former CIA analyst and host of the radio show, to expect additional criminal referrals and said, "nobody wants these bastards locked up more than me."
Carter said the footnotes reveal that Steele was using information provided by some Russian-connected Kremlin sources that hoped to hurt Trump and divide the country.
Carter pointed out that she has long theorized that the whole Russian collusion farse was simply a "soft coup" being orchestrated by former Obama officials, and she said the more we learn, the more evidence points to them being the ones who colluded with Russia.
"So it looks like the Democrats themselves were the ones that were duped by the Russians and for those who weren't duped, they should answer the question to the attorney general and prosecutor John Durham."
Durham, the top federal prosecutor from Connecticut, was selected by Attorney General William Barr to investigate any possible misconduct by law enforcement during the Russian collusion investigation. The New York Times reported last year that it is a criminal investigation.
The Washington Examiner reported Tuesday that Durham seems to be focused on Brennan. Democrats have criticized the investigation as an attempt to even the score by Trump, but Republicans call in necessary to weed out corruption.

Barr: Timetable of John Durham review unrestrained by 2020 election
The nation's top law enforcement officer said the 2020 election will have no bearing on the Justice Department's review of the Russia investigation.
Attorney General William Barr, in an interview on Hugh Hewitt's radio show on Tuesday, also said U.S. Attorney John Durham's inquiry into the origins of the Crossfire Hurricane operation and into the conduct of associated law enforcement officers and intelligence officials is proceeding full speed ahead amid the coronavirus pandemic but stressed indictments are not imminent.
Hewitt said there are DOJ guidelines related to announcing either indictments or the end of an investigation close to an election because of the impact it might have on who wins, noting these rules factored into then-FBI Director James Comey's statement in July 2016 declaring that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton had been "extremely careless" in her handling of classified information on her private email server but that "no reasonable prosecutor" would bring an indictment against her. Hewitt pressed Barr on what Durham's deadline was and whether any political considerations were being made.
Barr said Election Day was not going to be a factor for when Durham releases his likely report or for when he may press charges.
"As far as I'm aware, none of the key people that, whose actions are being reviewed at this point by Durham, are running for president," Barr said.

AG Barr Says Stay-At-Home Orders 'Disturbingly Close to House Arrest'
'It's very onerous, as is shutting down your livelihood,' he says
Attorney General William Barr said some states are going too far in their enforcement of stay-at-home orders and the Justice Department may have to get involved to protect civil liberties.
Barr appeared on radio host Hugh Hewitt's show Wednesday to discuss how these "burdensome" social distancing measures must be lifted now that America is passing the curve of coronavirus cases.
"These are unprecedented burdens on civil liberties right now, and the idea that you have to stay in your house is disturbingly close to house arrest," Barr told Hewitt. "I'm not saying it wasn't justified, I'm not saying some places it might be still justified. But it's very onerous, as is shutting down your livelihood."

ABOARD A US GOVERNMENT AIRCRAFT (AP) - Attorney General William Barr said he initially had his own suspicions about financier Jeffrey Epstein's death while behind bars at one of the most secure jails in America but came to conclude that his suicide was the result of "a perfect storm of screw-ups."
Full Coverage: Jeffrey Epstein
In an interview with The Associated Press, Barr said his concerns were prompted by the numerous irregularities at the New York jail where Epstein was being held. But he said after the FBI and the Justice Department's inspector general continued to investigate, he realized there were a "series" of mistakes made that gave Epstein the chance to take his own life.

McConnell joined The Hugh Hewitt Show for an interview on a variety of subjects, one day after Attorney General William Barr made some news doing the same.
The Senate Majority Leader revealed that when the Senate returns from its recess on May 4, the Senate will "start confirming judges again." McConnell said that the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic will not stop the Senate from leaving no vacancy behind.

AG Barr Says the DOJ May Take Legal Action against States if Lockdowns Are Deemed Excessive
Attorney General William Barr on Tuesday said the Justice Department could take action against states whose coronavirus lockdowns are deemed too strict.
"We have to give businesses more freedom to operate in a way that's reasonably safe," Barr said in an interview on The Hugh Hewitt Show. "To the extent that governors don't and impinge on either civil rights or on the national commerce-our common market that we have here-then we'll have to address that."
Barr said states should enforce lockdowns and business closures only until the spread of coronavirus has halted. Then, states should eventually reopen in line with the Trump administration's guidelines, he said.
"These are very, very burdensome impingements on liberty, and we adopted them, we have to remember, for the limited purpose of slowing down the spread, that is bending the curve," Barr went on. "We didn't adopt them as the comprehensive way of dealing with this disease....You can't just keep on feeding the patient chemotherapy and say well, we're killing the cancer, because we were getting to the point where we're killing the patient."
While most U.S. states have adopted some form of business and school closures, several have seen protests against the lockdown measures. President Trump has repeatedly clashed with state governors on reopening the economy, urging them to do so as soon as possible.
Trump has called on protesters to "liberate" certain states, all with Democratic governors. Washington governor Jay Inslee subsequently accused Trump of "fomenting domestic rebellion."
Protests have been particularly strong in Michigan, whose governor Gretchen Whitmer has instituted some of the most stringent lockdowns in the U.S. Whitmer on Tuesday compared protesters to Americans who objected to the World War II production effort.

Devin Nunes: 'Obama's dossier' a subject of criminal referral to Justice Department
1 of 2
A top Republican said a criminal referral sent to the Justice Department last year relates to the 2017 intelligence community assessment on Russian election interference. Rep. Devin Nunes, the ranking member of the House Intelligence Committee, spoke about the assessment on Tuesday after the Senate intelligence panel released its 158-page bipartisan report defending the assessment that was released in the waning days of the Obama administration. The California congressman told Fox Business host Lou Dobbs that it was "suspect" the U.S. Intelligence Community put it together in a matter of several weeks, at the behest of former President Barack Obama. Referring to what he called "Obama's dossier," Nunes noted his panel, when he was chairman, determined the "tradecraft was not up to snuff" and said he stands by his determination in the face of the Senate Intelligence Committee's much different conclusion. The lead GOP investigator revealed that one of the several criminal referrals he sent to the Justice Department last year, which were related to the Trump-Russia investigation, had to do with the intelligence community assessment. He said it focuses on "whether or not intelligence was manipulated for political purposes."
Nunes's assertions run counter to what the Senate intelligence panel wrote in their report. The heavily redacted report said Senate investigators found no evidence of political pressure to reach a specific conclusion and determined the assessment by the CIA, FBI, and NSA "presents a coherent and well-constructed intelligence basis for the case of unprecedented Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election." The intelligence community report released in January 2017 assessed with "moderate" to "high" confidence that Russian President Vladimir Putin and the Kremlin sought to boost then-candidate Donald Trump's 2016 election chances.
''
The House Intelligence Committee report, released in 2018, was not bipartisan. The GOP-led effort concluded, "The majority of the Intelligence Community Assessment judgments on Russia's election activities employed proper analytic tradecraft," but found the "judgments on Putin's strategic intentions did not." The Democrats on the panel released their own assessment that said they found "no evidence" to doubt the assessment. Nunes sent a notification about eight criminal referrals targeting individuals tied to the origins of the Trump-Russia investigation, including some that had to do with leaks, in April 2019. The exact content of those referrals has never been publicly disclosed. Nunes said at the time the public may never know who is mentioned in them.
On May 1, Attorney General William Barr said the Justice Department had opened "multiple criminal leak investigations," after which it was revealed he appointed U.S. Attorney John Durham to review possible misconduct by federal law enforcement and intelligence officials in the Russia inquiry. Nunes said he plans to send more criminal referrals to the Justice Department after the recent declassification of key portions of documents related to the secret surveillance of onetime Trump campaign adviser Carter Page and a DOJ inspector general report that discussed several glaring issues with that process, including the FBI's reliance on British ex-spy Christopher Steele's unverified anti-Trump dossier. The congressman argued this information never should have been classified in the first place and claimed there is still more "critical information" hiding from public view.

Deep State Barr Blocks Release Of 9/11 Documents Despite Promises To Victims' Families.
On Monday, U.S. Attorney General William Barr, acting director of national intelligence Richard Grenell, and other senior officials called on a federal judge to prevent the disclosure of files related to the role of the government of Saudi Arabia in the September 11 attacks. The officials told the judge in the civil case that the release of the files would endanger national security.
The files are being sought by families of the 9/11 victims who have spent the last two decades attempting to uncover the truth about the attacks. The families filed a lawsuit in federal district court in New York in 2017 as part of their effort to uncover the role of the Saudi government. What is publicly known is that the alleged 9/11 hijackers had a relationship with Saudi government officials. As Pro Public reported, at the 2019 White House September 11 memorial, U.S. President Donald Trump promised the families he would help them uncover the truth about 9/11.
Pro Publica notes that four statements from FBI and Justice Department officials were also under seal and can not be seen by the public. Another five statements from FBI, Justice Department, and CIA officials were only seen by the judge and could not even be shared with the families' lawyers. Steven Pounian, a lawyer for the families also suggested that there must be some deep, dark secret that they're still trying very hard to hide after almost 20 years, and that it might be a Saudi government secret
I think the 9/11 families have lost all hope that the president is going to step up and do the right thing.
Unfortunately, William Barr does not have a record of trustworthy actions. As far back as 1989 Barr discussed his belief that the FBI could legally abduct people in foreign countries without the consent of the foreign government. The opinion was revealed in a leaked legal memo authored by Barr while he was serving as the head of the Justice Department's Office of Legal Counsel (OLC). Barr chose to withhold the full memo and asked the public to trust his conclusion.
In the weeks after 9/11, when the U.S. government began to seize powers to roundup foreign citizens, spy on Americans, and torture anyone accused of terrorism, Newsweek noted that Barr had played a role in paving the way for such actions.
More recently, Barr has been involved in perpetuating the myth that encryption is a tool that only terrorists and dangerous criminals use and launching anorwellian pre-crime program. In October 2019, MintPress News reported that Barr had recently laid the groundwork for this new program.
Barr would go on to issue a memorandum to all U.S. attorneys, law enforcement agencies, and high level Justice Department officials calling for the implementation of a new "national disruption and early engagement program" aimed at detecting potential mass shooters before they commit any crime. This memo called for the DOJ and FBI to "refine our ability to identify, assess and engage potential mass shooters before they strike." Barr called for the pre-crime program to be implemented in early 2020.
The blocking of state secrets related to the September 11 attacks is just the latest in a long line of cover ups and corrupt practices by Attorney General William Barr.

Method of Execution for Federal Treason is Injection of PENTOBARBITAL
July 25, 2019
Federal Government To Resume Capital Punishment after Nearly 2 Decade Lapse
The Federal Execution Protocol Addendum, which closely mirrors protocols utilized by several states, including currently Georgia, Missouri, and Texas, replaces the three-drug procedure previously used in Federal executions with a single drug-Pentobarbital.
Since 2010, 14 states have used Pentobarbital in over 200 executions, and Federal courts, including the Supreme Court, have repeatedly upheld the use of Pentobarbital in executions as consistent with the Eighth Amendment.
Upon Attorney General Barr's direction, Acting Director Hurwitz adopted the Addendum to the Federal Execution Protocol and, in accordance with 28 C.F.R. Part 26.

PENTOBARBITAL: Pentobarbital, also known as pentobarbitone, is a short-acting barbiturate. In high doses, pentobarbital causes death by respiratory arrest. In the United States, the drug has been used for executions of convicted criminals.
On July 25, 2019, US Attorney General William Barr directed the Federal government to resume capital punishment after 16 years.
Pentobarbitol's old name was Nembutal, known on the streets as "Yellow Jackets" due to yellow capsule.

America's Governors 'Disturbingly Close to House Arrest' AG Barr Says
Attorney General William Barr said Tuesday that some state governors' efforts to fight the coronavirus "infringes on a fundamental right" of American residents.
"When a governor acts, especially when a governor does something that intrudes upon or infringes on a fundamental right or a Constitutional right, they're bounded by that," the attorney general said. "And those situations are emerging around the country, to some extent."
He also said "that governments in the U.S. need to "do a better job" of ensuring coronavirus restrictions are "properly targeted" and do not unnecessarily infringe on constitutional rights. He added that currently, the country is facing "unprecedented burdens on civil liberties."
These comments were made during an interview on "The Hugh Hewitt Show."
Barr said the stay-at-home orders are "disturbingly close to house arrest," but added, "I'm not saying it wasn't justified."
"We didn't adopt them as the comprehensive way of dealing with this disease," he said. "And we are now seeing that these are bending the curve, and now we have to come up with more targeted approaches."
He also called President Trump's plan to allow governors to reopen their states a "very commonsensical approach," adding that he has acted "well within the traditional rules of law."

Soros-funded organization wants prisoners released due to coronavirus
A Soros-funded organization in the US is petitioning the governors of all 50 states to release inmates from state prisons as a coronavirus "social distancing" measure.
The letter came from the Brennan Center for Justice, and has been published online. The Brennan Center is urging governors to use their power to issue executive orders to "release as many people as possible from incarceration." The justification offered is that prisons tend to be cramped, thus making it difficult for prisoners to follow social distancing guidelines. According to the letter, this puts them especially at risk for coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreaks.
The Brennan Center, which is part of New York University's School of Law, is funded by George Soros' Open Society Foundations, and regularly receives grants from it.
The letter noted that only those inmates who "do not pose serious public safety threats" should be released. It recommended that inmates who are older, who have chronic medical conditions, or who are already nearing the end of their sentences should be among those considered for early release. The letter claimed that the Center's own research suggests that releasing prisoners "will not jeopardize public safety."
Even before the Brennan Center's letter, the states of Iowa and New Jersey had already begun releasing inmates, as have county prisons in California, New York, Ohio, Oregon and Pennsylvania. US Attorney General William Barr also issued a directive instructing federal prisons to transfer some inmates to home confinement if they are particularly at risk for coronavirus infection.
Some European countries are also adopting similar measures in their prisons. Norway began releasing prisoners last month as a coronavirus prevention measure, as previously reported by Voice of Europe.

Attorney General Barr Blocks Release of 9/11 Documents Despite Promises to Victims' Families
In a last minute court filing, U.S. officials demanded a federal judge block the release of files detailing Saudi connections to the 9/11 attacks.
(TMU) - On Monday, U.S. Attorney General William Barr, acting director of national intelligence Richard Grenell, and other senior officials called on a federal judge to prevent the disclosure of files related to the role of the government of Saudi Arabia in the September 11 attacks. The officials told the judge in the civil case that the release of the files would endanger national security.
The files are being sought by families of the 9/11 victims who have spent the last two decades attempting to uncover the truth about the attacks. The families filed a lawsuit in federal district court in New York in 2017 as part of their effort to uncover the role of the Saudi government. What is publicly known is that the alleged 9/11 hijackers had a relationship with Saudi government officials. As Pro Public reported, at the 2019 White House September 11 memorial, U.S. President Donald Trump promised the families he would help them uncover the truth about 9/11. He made similar promises while he was campaigning for president.

Clinton-Funded Russian Disinformation Drove The Witch Hunt Against Trump
The accusation that Donald Trump "colluded" with Russia to steal the 2016 presidential election was always an elaborate and perfidious hoax. James Comey's FBI knew this all along but managed to conceal it. Until now.
Newly declassified documents reveal that the anti-Trump "dossier" was substantially the product of Russian disinformation. It was sedulously fed to a gullible and maladroit ex-British spy, Christopher Steele, who was being paid by the Hillary Clinton Campaign and the Democratic National Committee (DNC) to gather and disseminate the bogus allegations.
It was the "dossier" that fueled the FBI and special counsel investigations of President Trump that battered his presidency. The largely phony series of Steele memos were also "central and essential" to gaining by deception four successive warrants to spy on a former Trump campaign adviser, Carter Page. His Fourth Amendment rights were egregiously violated by surveillance warrants unlawfully obtained.
For the better part of 4 years, top officials at the FBI and the intelligence community kept their knowledge and evidence of the Russian disinformation hidden from congress, judges on the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC), and the American people.
Instead of revealing the truth, Trump's adversaries -with significant assistance from a hopelessly biased and clueless media- pursued a relentless scheme to destroy him with the narrative that he was a Russian asset who somehow conspired with Moscow to rig the election in his favor.
Recently, when Ambassador Richard Grenell was named acting Director of National Intelligence, he moved swiftly to unmask the insidious coverup of this heretofore classified information. He is to be commended for doing so, as are Sens. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., and Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, for their persistence in getting this stunning material declassified.
After finally securing access to the declassified documents, Johnson bluntly described some senior officials at the FBI as "total and complete snakes." That is an understatement. Comey and his confederates deliberately exploited what they knew to be untrue and discredited information as a pretext to spy on the Trump campaign and investigate the president.
Evidence that the FBI was aware of the Russian fabrications was discovered by Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz and contained in footnotes inside his voluminous report released in December. But those footnotes remained redacted as "classified" until Grenell ordered that they be made public.
The footnotes show that, once the FBI learned early in its Trump-Russia investigation that their case was built on little more than disinformation, this exculpatory evidence was knowingly and willfully buried by the bureau. Instead of shutting down its entire probe and withdrawing its surveillance warrant from the FISC, Comey's FBI escalated its case against the president.
A special counsel was appointed, but no evidence of a "collusion" conspiracy was discovered -because it never existed. It was a fiction peddled by Moscow to the FBI through Steele, who was being paid by the Clinton Campaign and the DNC.
In my 2018 book, The Russia Hoax, I argued, "There was never any plausible evidence that Trump or his campaign collaborated with Russia to win the presidency, and the FBI had no legal basis to initiate its investigation." (Page 286) In an interview with Fox News several days ago, Attorney General William Barr confirmed that the FBI's probe was launched "without any basis."
I also explained how the allegations against Trump were likely the product of a disinformation campaign, "compiled by a Russian determined to invent a collection of lies for the purpose of creating mischief." (Page 128)
My 2019 book, Witch Hunt: The Story Of The Greatest Mass Delusion In American Political History, details how the FBI hid the origins of the fictional "dossier." The "collusion" narrative was a conspiracy in and of itself, fabricated as a political instrument and then weaponized against Trump by unscrupulous government officials. The "dossier" was the centerpiece of the effort to frame Trump.
In Chapter 2 entitled, "Clinton Collusion," I wrote, "Either the dossier was invented out of whole cloth, or Steele was fed preposterous disinformation by Russian sources, who must have laughed at their handiwork and the gullibility of the recipient." (Page 43)
Grassley summed it up best when he issued this statement: "These footnotes confirm that there was a direct Russian disinformation campaign in 2016, and there were ties between Russian intelligence and a presidential campaign -the Clinton campaign, not Trump's.(cont.)

Trump shares post saying John Durham indictments could come 'this week'
President Trump shared a report that said indictments could be coming this week in U.S. Attorney John Durham's review of the Russia investigation. Part of a flurry of retweets late Monday evening, Trump's verified Twitter account, which has 77.8 million followers, shared a post from Fox News legal analyst Gregg Jarrett's personal website with the headline: "More Russia Spygate Indictments Coming 'This Week.'"
A post, authored by "staff" and shared by Jarrett's verified Twitter account, focused on a recent interview conducted by Fox Business host Lou Dobbs in which investigative reporter John Solomon said "some criminal investigative activity" indicated there "could be a handful of indictments and much more information" this week. Solomon, who recently founded a new outlet, JustTheNews.com, became mired in controversy last year when his reporting on Ukraine for the Hill got swept up into the impeachment investigation and became subject to a review that found he "failed" to identify "important details about key Ukrainian sources."
Attorney General William Barr picked Durham, the top federal prosecutor in Connecticut, to conduct a review of possible misconduct by federal law enforcement and intelligence officials during the Russia investigation and is said to be increasingly focused on former CIA Director John Brennan. Democrats have criticized Durham's review, which reportedly was upgraded into a criminal investigation last year, as a politically motivated scheme to undermine the work of special counsel Robert Mueller and attack Trump's perceived enemies. Republican allies of the president have championed Durham's investigation and called for top officials, including former FBI Director James Comey, to face accountability for an alleged effort to undermine the president. There have not yet been any confirmed reports or official statements about indictments in the investigation.
Trump retweeted other posts shared by Jarrett, who recently said Barr "tipped his hand" about potential indictments in Durham's inquiry during an interview with Fox News host Laura Ingraham, including one that said new evidence shows the Russia investigation was a "witch hunt." During the interview with Ingraham earlier this month, Barr argued Trump had "every right" to be upset with the Russia inquiry and talked about "a whole pattern of events while he was president to sabotage the presidency … or at least have the effect of sabotaging the presidency." "My own view is that the evidence shows that we're not dealing with just mistakes or sloppiness," the attorney general said. "There is something far more troubling here, and we're going to get to the bottom of it. And if people broke the law, and we can establish that with the evidence, they will be prosecuted." Trump called FBI leadership involved in the Russia investigation "human scum" during a coronavirus task force briefing over the weekend.

Deep State Barr Blocks Release Of 9/11 Documents Despite Promises To Victims' Families.
On Monday, U.S. Attorney General William Barr, acting director of national intelligence Richard Grenell, and other senior officials called on a federal judge to prevent the disclosure of files related to the role of the government of Saudi Arabia in the September 11 attacks.

Pro Publica notes that four statements from FBI and Justice Department officials were also under seal and can not be seen by the public. Another five statements from FBI, Justice Department, and CIA officials were only seen by the judge and could not even be shared with the families' lawyers. Steven Pounian, a lawyer for the families also suggested that there must be some deep, dark secret that they're still trying very hard to hide after almost 20 years, and that it might be a Saudi government secret
I think the 9/11 families have lost all hope that the president is going to step up and do the right thing.
Unfortunately, William Barr does not have a record of trustworthy actions. As far back as 1989 Barr discussed his belief that the FBI could legally abduct people in foreign countries without the consent of the foreign government. The opinion was revealed in a leaked legal memo authored by Barr while he was serving as the head of the Justice Department's Office of Legal Counsel (OLC). Barr chose to withhold the full memo and asked the public to trust his conclusion.
In the weeks after 9/11, when the U.S. government began to seize powers to roundup foreign citizens, spy on Americans, and torture anyone accused of terrorism, Newsweek noted that Barr had played a role in paving the way for such actions.
More recently, Barr has been involved in perpetuating the myth that encryption is a tool that only terrorists and dangerous criminals use and launching anorwellian pre-crime program. In October 2019, MintPress News reported that Barr had recently laid the groundwork for this new program.

Chinese and Western Intelligence Services Hunting Down Telecom Executives
Ben Fulford, 4/20/20
The so-called coronavirus pandemic has now been definitively traced to 5G electromagnetic attacks, multiple sources agree.
In order to stop the hardliners and prevent all-out war, an active hunt has begun for all industry executives and oligarchs involved in the 5G rollout, Western and Asian secret intelligence sources agree.
The targets include the now extinct Bush family and the Chinese Soong family, the sources say.
The hunt is necessary to stop full-scale thermonuclear war because "our analysis of the forensics does show a provocation of war...that is to say we see a full all-out war as highly probable," MI6 sources say.
Chinese hardliners, for their part, are pushing for the destruction of New York in retaliation for the attack on Wuhan, something that could also precipitate a world-destroying war, Asian Secret Society sources say.
Well now take a look at the money issued in the U.S. and the UK to commemorate this pandemic attack. The first is a fruit-bat (the alleged source of the coronavirus) quarter issued in 2020 by the U.S. mint.

The second is the new UK 20-pound note featuring a picture of a 5G cellphone tower and above it a coronavirus.

This shows how arrogant these people are and how they plan long term, while the rest of us must react to what is immediately happening.
However, that is no longer the case with both the British Secret Service and the Pentagon White Hats now actively targeting the families that own the Federal Reserve Board, the BIS, the European Central Bank and the Bank of Japan.
Pentagon sources say "the death of [George] Bush Jr's first Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill may signal the purge of Wall Street, as the Fed was taken over and the exchange stabilization fund (ESF) diverted from CIA and the Deep State." Also, "banks may be nationalized and forced to pay a tax on all financial transactions to replace the unconstitutional income tax," the sources say.
"The Bushes senior and junior were also involved in the theft of Tesla patents. They kill and steal just like all Mafia," the MI6 sources say.
The aim of the current pandemic engineered by the Bush/Rothschild faction is to centralize control and carry out a eugenic purge of the human population, CIA sources confirm.
In the U.S., 5G is being strongly pushed by Attorney General William Barr and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. Barr has also prevented 911 truth from being disclosed. So those of you who think Barr with his "FISA Gate," is a white hat, think again.

Let's explain why this "pandemic" attack on the human race is centered on 5G by quoting a reader comment based on the work of three Nobel Prize-winning doctors:
"5G electromagnetic radiation injures human cellular DNA. The exposed cells (of all kinds within the human target) respond by producing a cascade of immunological protective substances. These substances are packaged in an intracellular structure called an endosome. The endosome is expelled from the cell, becoming an exosome.
The exosome circulates and binds to the ACE 2 receptors of the lung, gut, and heart.
The exposed cell response is the same if the exposure is 5G or COVID-19 (the flu).
The immunological chemicals in the exosome package attack the ACE 2 possessing cells producing the effect of 5G radiation exposure or the flu, which is being covered up as COVID-19.
The COVID-19 case rate is 96% in 5G areas and only 4% in 4G or lower areas.

GOP lawmakers ask Barr, Pompeo to bring case against China to the International Court of Justice
EXCLUSIVE: Indiana GOP Rep. Jim Banks has sent a letter to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Attorney General William Barr urging them to bring a case against China to the International Court of Justice (ICIJ) for the country's actions during the coronavirus pandemic. The letter, obtained by Fox News on Monday, was co-signed by 22 other lawmakers in the lower house of Congress. It claims that China has violated the 2005 International Health Regulations by suppressing information about the COVID-19 outbreak in the city of Wuhan earlier this year and underreporting the number of infections and deaths caused by the contagion.
"The Chinese state made intentional false claims to its own people and the world about the nature of the virus," Banks wrote in his letter. "China rejected repeated offers from the [World Health Organization] and [the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention] in late January and early February to study the new disease without explanation." Banks added: "If China fails to submit itself to a fair trial in the International Court of Justice, the Charter of the United Nations gives guidance to injured parties: Articles 49-51 explain how states could suspend their obligations to China as means to induce Beijing to fulfill its responsibility for the calamitous damages inflicted on the world." China in recent weeks has come under intense scrutiny for its handling of the virus' outbreak and how it allowed it to spread worldwide. "We know that there is the Wuhan Institute of Virology just a handful of miles away from where the wet market was," Pompeo said.
U.S. officials say the American Embassy in Beijing flagged concerns about potential safety issues at the lab in Wuhan in 2018, but stressed there's no evidence the virus originated there nearly two years later. According to a recent analysis by the Associated Press, more than 3,000 people had been infected before China's government told the public what it had concluded six days earlier - that a pandemic was probably coming. Critics have accused Beijing of muffling early warnings, such that the Chinese were assured the risk of sustained human-to-human transmission was low even as infected people entered hospitals across the country and the first case outside China was found, in Thailand. "Doctors in Wuhan were afraid," said Dali Yang, a professor of Chinese politics at the University of Chicago. "It was truly intimidation of an entire profession."
The United States, though, has also faced criticism over its response to the pandemic, including over the president's early promises to have ample testing, a key factor in containing the disease. More than 761,000 people in the U.S. have been sickened with COVID-19, not counting large numbers whose illnesses are not being registered, and more than 40,000 have died, according to figures compiled by Johns Hopkins University.

Let's explain why this "pandemic" attack on the human race is centered on 5G by quoting a reader comment based on the work of three Nobel Prize-winning doctors:
"5G electromagnetic radiation injures human cellular DNA. The exposed cells (of all kinds within the human target) respond by producing a cascade of immunological protective substances. These substances are packaged in an intracellular structure called an endosome. The endosome is expelled from the cell, becoming an exosome.
The exosome circulates and binds to the ACE 2 receptors of the lung, gut, and heart. The exposed cell response is the same if the exposure is 5G or COVID-19 (the flu).
The immunological chemicals in the exosome package attack the ACE 2 possessing cells producing the effect of 5G radiation exposure or the flu, which is being covered up as COVID-19.
The COVID-19 case rate is 96% in 5G areas and only 4% in 4G or lower areas.

Deep State Barr Blocks Release Of 9/11 Documents Despite Promises To Victims' Families.
On Monday, U.S. Attorney General William Barr, acting director of national intelligence Richard Grenell, and other senior officials called on a federal judge to prevent the disclosure of files related to the role of the government of Saudi Arabia in the September 11 attacks. The officials told the judge in the civil case that the release of the files would endanger national security.
The files are being sought by families of the 9/11 victims who have spent the last two decades attempting to uncover the truth about the attacks. The families filed a lawsuit in federal district court in New York in 2017 as part of their effort to uncover the role of the Saudi government. What is publicly known is that the alleged 9/11 hijackers had a relationship with Saudi government officials. As Pro Public reported, at the 2019 White House September 11 memorial, U.S. President Donald Trump promised the families he would help them uncover the truth about 9/11.
Pro Publica notes that four statements from FBI and Justice Department officials were also under seal and can not be seen by the public. Another five statements from FBI, Justice Department, and CIA officials were only seen by the judge and could not even be shared with the families' lawyers. Steven Pounian, a lawyer for the families also suggested that there must be some deep, dark secret that they're still trying very hard to hide after almost 20 years, and that it might be a Saudi government secret
I think the 9/11 families have lost all hope that the president is going to step up and do the right thing.
Unfortunately, William Barr does not have a record of trustworthy actions. As far back as 1989 Barr discussed his belief that the FBI could legally abduct people in foreign countries without the consent of the foreign government. The opinion was revealed in a leaked legal memo authored by Barr while he was serving as the head of the Justice Department's Office of Legal Counsel (OLC). Barr chose to withhold the full memo and asked the public to trust his conclusion.
In the weeks after 9/11, when the U.S. government began to seize powers to roundup foreign citizens, spy on Americans, and torture anyone accused of terrorism, Newsweek noted that Barr had played a role in paving the way for such actions.
More recently, Barr has been involved in perpetuating the myth that encryption is a tool that only terrorists and dangerous criminals use and launching anorwellian pre-crime program. In October 2019, MintPress News reported that Barr had recently laid the groundwork for this new program.
Barr would go on to issue a memorandum to all U.S. attorneys, law enforcement agencies, and high level Justice Department officials calling for the implementation of a new "national disruption and early engagement program" aimed at detecting potential mass shooters before they commit any crime. This memo called for the DOJ and FBI to "refine our ability to identify, assess and engage potential mass shooters before they strike." Barr called for the pre-crime program to be implemented in early 2020.
The blocking of state secrets related to the September 11 attacks is just the latest in a long line of cover ups and corrupt practices by Attorney General William Barr.

Barr Is the Enforcer of Trump's Push to Undermine the
States' Coronavirus Response
The attorney general's deploying the same playbook he did in
the Mueller investigation and impeachment: using the
Department of Justice to do the president's political dirty work.
David R. Lurie
Published Apr. 20, 2020 4:37AM ET
"Donald Trump is calling for his followers to LIBERATE the states from the social distancing measures that are staving off an even greater coronavirus death toll. Trump's enforcer, Attorney General Bill Barr, is now poised to support Trump's call for insurrection by turning to the federal courts-seeded with a legion of newly installed right-wing jurists-to undermine critical public health protections on his boss' behalf.
If Barr and Trump get their way, the states will soon be "opened up" to the virus, and thus to a massive number of needless deaths.
While Trump began openly attacking his own social distancing guidelines over the past week, Barr has been doing so for some time. During an April 8 interview on Fox News, the attorney general described the steps belatedly taken to limit spread of the virus as "draconian." He also said that "after April 30," the Department of Justice would begin to scrutinize such "restrictions on our liberty" more closely."

Nunes Harvesting The Durham Corn Starch
Devin Nunes: GOP investigators 'laser-focused' on information CIA gave to FBI in 2016
by Daniel Chaitin
April 19, 2020 02:30 PM
House Intelligence Committee Republicans are "laser-focused" on investigating information the CIA gave to the FBI in 2016, according to ranking member Devin Nunes.
For the first time, the California congressman described in great detail the next steps of a broad congressional inquiry into possible misconduct during the Russia investigation, which he said includes scrutiny of three "dossiers" and questions about three Russian Americans. All of this follows the declassification of key documents over the past couple weeks, including footnotes showing the FBI was warned British ex-spy Christopher Steele's anti-Trump dossier was likely influenced by Russian disinformation and yet continued to use it, and Nunes's pledge to send more criminal referrals to the Justice Department.
During a Fox News interview on Sunday, Nunes brought up the CIA at the end of a list of issues he and his colleagues are examining and credited the investigative work of his former Republican colleague, South Carolina's Trey Gowdy, with providing a road map for that facet of the effort.
"In 2016, we know from great work that Trey Gowdy did at the time … that the CIA gave information over to the FBI in 2016. We now are laser-focused on that. We need to know exactly what did the CIA give to the FBI in 2016?" Nunes said.
Gowdy, the former chairman of the House Oversight Committee, encouraged investigators in May 2019 to track down emails between former CIA Director John Brennan and former FBI Director James Comey from December 2016.
A short summary of Steele's unverified research, which was funded by Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign and the Democratic National Committee through the Perkins Coie law firm, made it into an appendix in the 2017 intelligence community assessment on Russian election interference.
In November, Brennan dissociated himself from that was then the forthcoming Justice Department watchdog report on an investigation into alleged government surveillance abuses against Page. Emphasizing "the FBI was taking the lead" on securing the FISA warrants, Brennan told MSNBC the CIA might have known something about Page if his name "came up in some type of Intelligence Community report," adding, "That would have been immediately shared with the FBI."
DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz's report, released in December, criticized the Justice Department and the FBI for at least 17 "significant errors and omissions" related to FISA warrants against Page, and also determined the counterintelligence investigation into the Trump campaign…
Still, questions remain about Brennan's role in the matter. Republican Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul pinned the blame on Brennan, tweeting last year, "A high-level source tells me it was Brennan who insisted that the unverified and fake Steele dossier be included in the Intelligence Report."
Watergate sleuth Bob Woodward also said last year, "I think it was the CIA pushing this."
U.S. Attorney John Durham, at the behest of Attorney General William Barr, is conducting a review of possible misconduct by federal law enforcement and intelligence officials during the Russia investigation and is said to be increasingly focused on Brennan. Democrats have criticized Durham's review as a politically-motivated scheme to undermine the work of special counsel Robert Mueller and attack Trump's perceived enemies.
The CIA did not immediately return a request for comment on Nunes's talk of an information exchange with the FBI.
Nunes told Fox News on Sunday that "there's a bunch of questions" about three "phony documents" that Durham is examining that House Intelligence Committee Republicans are also investigating. One of them is the Steele dossier. The other two are the 2017 intelligence community assessment on Russian election interference and Mueller's report, which Nunes said is "filled with both lies and omissions."
"Remember, you have people that have been prosecuted over this, that have already spent time in jail over this. Why when Mueller and his team, you know, this great team of experts at DOJ and FBI, they brought all these people in, where the hell is all of that information now that you guys are all now seeing for the first time here in the last week?" he said.
"Why did we not know about [former Trump campaign adviser] George Papadopoulos being offered this money, OK, from Russians. Who were those Russians?" Nunes added. "And so moving forward, you have the three dossiers that have to be investigated. I'm also interested in three Russians - actually Russian Americans, that we're looking into."

More recently, Barr has been involved in perpetuating the myth that encryption is a tool that only terrorists and dangerous criminals use and launching an "orwellian pre-crime program." In October 2019, MintPress News reported that Barr had recently laid the groundwork for this new program:
"Indeed, since becoming Attorney General under President Trump, Barr has spearheaded numerous efforts to this end, including pushing for a government backdoor into consumer apps or devices that utilize encryption and for a dramatic increase of long-standing yet controversial warrantless electronic surveillance programs.
On July 23rd, Barr gave the keynote address at the 2019 International Conference on Cyber Security (ICCS) and mainly focused on the need for consumer electronic products and applications that use encryption to offer a "backdoor" for the government, specifically law enforcement, in order to obtain access to encrypted communications as a matter of public safety."
Barr would go on to issue a memorandum to all U.S. attorneys, law enforcement agencies, and high level Justice Department officials calling for the implementation of a new "national disruption and early engagement program" aimed at detecting potential mass shooters before they commit any crime. This memo called for the DOJ and FBI to "refine our ability to identify, assess and engage potential mass shooters before they strike." Barr called for the pre-crime program to be implemented in early 2020.

'Chinese Communist Party cannot be trusted': Barr condemns Hong Kong protester arrests
Attorney General William Barr and other U.S. leaders condemned the Chinese government's move to arrest more than a dozen leaders from Hong Kong's pro-democracy movement for alleged crimes stemming from last year's mass protests.
"I condemn the latest assault on the rule of law and the liberty of the people of Hong Kong," Barr said on Saturday. "These events show how antithetical the values of the Chinese Communist Party are to those we share in Western liberal democracies. These actions - along with its malign influence activity and industrial espionage here in the United States - demonstrate once again that the Chinese Communist Party cannot be trusted."
Over the weekend, the ruling Chinese Communist Party arrested 15 of the key leaders of the pro-democracy movement in Hong Kong, a former British colony with semi-autonomous status, in an effort to continue to crack down on anti-authoritarian thought in the city following protests that rocked it last year. Some were released on bail over the weekend, and all must appear in court on May 18….

HUGE: The UK Just Dumped China's Huawei in 5G Tech Roll-Out - Citing its Lies Over Coronavirus.
Western democracies, especially the United States, just heaved a huge sigh of relief after getting word that United Kingdom PM Boris Johnson is dropping the controversial Chinese tech company, Huawei, as the nation's provider of 5G infrastructure.
Although Johnson was in support of the Chinese tech giant laying the non-sensitive portions of 5G infrastructure, he said China's lack of transparency about coronavirus made the communist-run country untrustworthy.
President Trump, Attorney General William Barr, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and members of the so-called "Five-Eyes" countries that share intelligence information, brought huge pressure on the Brits to dump Huawei. The U.S. pressed hard for the UK to dump Huawei because of widespread speculation that China would use the 5G infrastructure to spy and use the remote command structure for blackmail.

Attorney General William Barr and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein holds a news conference to discuss the release of a redacted version of Special Counsel Robert Mueller's report on Russian election interference and President Donald Trump's campaign. The nearly 400-page report is expected to address what Mueller's probe found about possible ties between the Trump campaign and Russia. It will also likely lay out Mueller's evidence for and against the question of whether the president obstructed justice, including the firing of FBI Director James Comey and Trump's repeated criticism of the Russia investigation.

US Refuses Release of 9/11 Documents, Claims Reason for Secrecy is Secret
In a last-minute court filing this week, the US government moved to block the release of a trove of documents about the September 11, 2001, attacks to families of the victims. However, senior intelligence officials said they were unable to explain the reasons for the secrecy, as doing so would compromise US national security.
In its latest move to protect its relationship with the Saudi monarchy, the Trump administration has blocked the release of FBI files on the September 11 attacks that it has been deemed to contain information that would imperil US national security.
According to a report by ProPublica, the US Department of Justice claimed in a federal court filing late Monday night that the documents exposed state secrets, but said that it could not explain what those secrets involved, because that, too, is secret.
"This assertion of privilege is over highly sensitive and classified national security information concerning foreign government information; intelligence activities, sources and methods; and information concerning foreign relations and foreign activities of the United States, including confidential sources," acting Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell said in a sworn declaration given to the US District Court for the Southern District of New York.
"This information must be protected because its disclosure reasonably could be expected to cause serious damage, and in many cases exceptionally grave damage, to the national security of the United States," Grenell said, according to the blog Florida Bulldog. His testimony was joined by those of US Attorney General William Barr and other leading intelligence officials.
"The extraordinary lengths that they're going to here suggest that there must be some deep, dark secret that they're still trying very hard to hide after almost 20 years," Steven Pounian, a lawyer representing the September 11 victims' families, told ProPublica.
"But who are they protecting? Something might be a Saudi government secret. But how can these be secrets that still need to be kept from the American people after all this time?"
The releases would have been part of a 2017 lawsuit against Saudi Arabia by the families of those who died in the September 11 attacks and the aftermath. On that day, 19 hijackers from the terrorist group al-Qaeda took over four US airliners and flew them into three buildings: the two World Trade Center towers in New York, which later collapsed, and the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia, a portion of which burned; the fourth plane fell from the sky over Pennsylvania when the passengers attempted to retake control of it.
Of those 19 hijackers, 15 were from Saudi Arabia, and the mastermind of the operation, Osama bin Laden, came from one of the country's wealthiest families.
Last September, Barr allowed the families to learn the classified name of one of the hijackers' accomplices, but only under a strict vow of secrecy.
While the 9/11 Commission fact-finding probe between 2002 and 2004 officially found "no evidence that the Saudi government as an institution or senior Saudi officials individually funded" the attacks, it noted "the likelihood" that Saudi-sponsored charities did, AP noted. A 2016 law permitting Americans to sue foreign governments for acts of terrorism is what allowed the families' lawsuit to go forward.
However, after a more recent barb in the US-Saudi relationship appeared in late 2018 when Saudi journalist and US resident Jamal Khashoggi was assassinated and dismembered in the Saudis' Istanbul consulate, Washington similarly swept the issue under the rug, with US President Donald Trump finding himself at odds with the CIA in assigning blame for the murder.
"The United States has never - not once - put this relationship on the line over the fate, or the human rights, of any individual or group of individuals," author and historian Thomas Lippmann told Sputnik in October 17, 2018, just weeks after Khashoggi disappeared.
"In fact, the Truman administration put a policy in writing that said exactly the opposite. It said: 'We're there to do business and for reasons of security. We're not there to tell them how to run their country or organize their society.' That policy's never been rescinded, and that's what we have always done," Lippmann said.

Fox Business host Lou Dobbs said there "could be" more to former President Barack Obama's endorsement of Joe Biden than meets the eye.
Get home delivery of the magazine. Subscribe today!
During an interview with Rep. Jim Jordan, Dobbs raised the idea that the endorsement Tuesday in the Democratic primary contest could be tied to U.S. Attorney John Durham's review of the Russia investigation.
"One has to wonder why President Obama chose this moment," Dobbs said on his show. "It could be because of reports now that John Durham, the U.S. attorney for Connecticut, who's been charged by the attorney general with investigating the so-called investigators, John Brennan, the CIA director under Obama, is the leading target, we are told."
He was referring to a Wall Street Journal report earlier this month in which sources said Durham is increasingly focused on former CIA Director John Brennan and drove to Washington, D.C., to make sure the investigation stayed on track during the coronavirus outbreak.
Jordan, the top Republican on the House Judiciary Committee, did not directly address Dobbs's thought about Obama, instead mentioning how there were a couple "key" developments last week in the so-called Russiagate controversy, including the declassification of footnotes in a Justice Department inspector general report showing the FBI received classified reports in 2017, which identified that parts of British ex-spy Christopher Steele's anti-Trump dossier were likely influenced by Russian disinformation.

The Ohio congressman added that Attorney General William Barr and Durham are "getting to the bottom of this" and hopes to see the investigation end sometime in the summer.
While the president and his allies have championed the investigation, Democrats have criticized Durham's review as a politically motivated scheme to undermine the work of special counsel Robert Mueller and attack President Trump's perceived enemies.
Obama's endorsement came after Biden's last remaining primary rival, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, endorsed Biden on Monday.
Obama said in a video that his former vice president "has all the qualities we need in a president right now" and called on "Americans of goodwill to unite in a great awakening against a politics that too often has been characterized by corruption, carelessness, self-dealing, disinformation, ignorance, and just plain meanness."

Nebraska Farm Bureau Asks AG Barr to Probe Meat
Packers' Profits
EPOCH TIMES
BY ISABEL VAN BRUGEN
April 16, 2020 Updated: April 16, 2020
"The Nebraska Farm Bureau (NEFB) has urged Attorney General William Barr to probe the possibility that meat packers are illegally manipulating prices in U.S. cattle markets amid the CCP virus pandemic.
The largest farm organization in the state asked the Department of Justice (DOJ) to launch a "full investigation" in a letter (pdf) addressed to Barr on Tuesday. It said an investigation would ensure the cattle meat packing industry is in compliance with the federal antitrust laws targeted to maintaining a competitive marketplace.
Stephen Nelson, NEFB President, expressed concerns over the "alarming" price disparities faced by cattle producers in the United States amid the CCP virus outbreak and following the closure of the Tyson Foods plant in Holcomb, Kansas.
"America's cattle producers have seen sharp declines in market prices and large margin increases for the meat packing sector," he wrote. "Now is the time for the DOJ to fully examine the situation and fully prosecute any wrongdoing.""

https://www.commondreams.org/views/2020/04/15/threatening-military-intervention-venezuela-during-pandemic
Unbeknownst to most Americans-and as we are grapple with this terrifying pandemic-the Trump administration is currently carrying out the largest military operation in Latin America in 30 years, and has made it clear that alleged Venezuelan "narco-terrorism" is the target. It's worth noting that the last deployment of similar size took place at the time of the 1989 U.S. military intervention in Panama to remove General Manuel Noriega.
President Trump announced the deployment at the beginning of an April 1 COVID-19 press conference. According to Defense Secretary Mark Esper, "included in this force package are Navy destroyers and littoral combat ships, Coast Guard Cutters, P.A. patrol aircraft, and elements of an Army security force assistance brigade." General Mark Milley, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, added that there are "thousands of sailors, Coast Guardsman, soldiers, airmen, Marines involved in this operation."
The announcement came a week after U.S. Attorney General William Barr unsealed an indictment against President Nicolás Maduro and 13 other current or former Venezuelan officials. The officials were accused of "narco-terrorism" and millions of dollars in cash rewards were offered for information leading to their capture, including a $15 million reward for Maduro

Devin Nunes doubles pace of fundraising to $4M in first quarter
Rep. Devin Nunes raised nearly $4 million during the first quarter of this year, pushing his campaign war chest to roughly $8.8 million, double the amount he raised in the final quarter of 2019. The California Republican, a prominent supporter of President Trump during the Russia investigation and throughout impeachment proceedings, has continued to raise money at a robust clip despite the chill on the economy caused by the coronavirus pandemic. In the previous fundraising quarter, Nunes raised $2.1 million and reported $7.2 million in the bank. Nunes has become a top GOP fundraiser with the sort of small, grassroots donors who back Trump, although he might not need to spend much of his campaign cash this November.
With dozens of incumbents to defend to protect their House majority, Democrats have not yet committed to spending the significant resources it would take to weaken Nunes in his Republican-leaning Central Valley district, let alone oust him. Larry Sabato, a political prognosticator at the University of Virginia, recently shifted his "Crystal Ball" rating of Nunes's race from "likely" to "safe Republican." The congressman is facing Democrat Phil Arballo in the fall. His first-quarter fundraising results, due to be filed Wednesday with the Federal Election Commission, were confirmed by a Republican source close to his campaign.
Nunes, the top Republican on the House Intelligence Committee, was an early GOP voice calling for an investigation into the FBI's use of special, secretive search warrants authorized by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. That investigation, conducted by U.S. Attorney John Durham at the behest of Attorney General William Barr, has already turned up some malfeasance by the FBI regarding its use of FISA warrants. Nunes's outspokenness on this and other controversies related to Trump has made the congressman a darling of conservative media and turned him into one of the most prolific GOP fundraisers of the past few years. He is investing in robust field and data programs proprietary to his campaign - in case Democrats decide to target him. Nunes, 46, spent a majority of his nine terms in Congress as an obscure member focused on issues pertaining to his agricultural, Republican-leaning district in California's Central Valley. But his role in defending Trump against allegations that his campaign colluded with Russia during the 2016 campaign, and his questioning of the FBI's investigation methods and use of FISA warrants, catapulted him into the national spotlight.

TOP FBI Investigator Walks Away Free After Possession
of Child Porn
15 HOURS AGO
"Congrats to FBI Director Christopher Wray and U.S. Attorney General William Barr for allowing a top FBI intelligence analyst to walk away free from potential possession of child pornography charges.
The Department of Justice Office of the Inspector General (OIG) initiated this investigation upon the receipt of information from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Inspection Division (INSD) alleging that a then FBI Supervisory Intelligence Analyst (SIA) had stated, during a routine FBI security inquiry, that the SIA had viewed and downloaded child pornography from the internet several years earlier. The SIA denied ever receiving or sending child pornography.
The OIG obtained and forensically examined the SIA's personal and FBI issued devices. Our examination identified pornographic images on the SIA's personal devices, and the OIG took several steps to determine whether the images represented child pornography, including providing such images to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. Based on the SIA's statements during the security interview, the OIG investigation concluded that the SIA had knowingly possessed child pornography, in violation of federal law and FBI policy.
The SIA was summarily dismissed by the FBI while the OIG investigation was pending.
Prosecution of the SIA was declined.
The OIG has completed its investigation and provided its report to the FBI."

CIA Secretly Told Staff COVID-19 Drug Touted By Trump Might Cause "Sudden Death"
President Trump's "game changer" drug he's frequently been advancing in the fight against coronavirus, hydroxychloroquine, has been met with mixed reactions among health professionals and even within his own administration - not the least of which is Dr. Fauci's own changing and at times contradictory statements on its potential effectiveness.
This ongoing debate centered on the anti-malarial treatment drug, which has recently witnessed an avalanche of pushback against Trump in the media - with Attorney General William Barr recently saying the mainstream has been on "jihad" against it - has now entered deep within the bowels of the national security state.
The CIA is now warning its analysts, agents and staff that taking hydroxychloroquine is likely "dangerous" - even potentially leading to "sudden death" - according to a new Washington Post report.

The 13 revelations showing the FBI never really had a Russia collusion case to begin with
Recently declassified evidence directly undercuts the main arguments the FBI used to justify investigating President Trump and his campaign. They've come slowly, drip by drip: the reluctant revelations of an FBI bureaucracy. But taken together, the body of evidence now amassed over two years of investigating the investigators explains why Attorney General William Barr last week declared there was never really a basis to probe Donald Trump's campaign for alleged collusion with Russia.
"I think the president has every right to be frustrated, because I think what happened to him was one of the greatest travesties in American history," Barr told Fox News' Laura Ingraham. "Without any basis they started this investigation of his campaign, and even more concerning, actually is what happened after the campaign, a whole pattern of events while he was president. to sabotage the presidency, and I think that - or at least have the effect of sabotaging the presidency," the attorney general said. Two years ago, those words coming from the top law enforcement official in the land would have been hard to imagine, or to support with public evidence. But today, after countless open record lawsuits, congressional investigations, sworn depositions and declassifications, there is compelling evidence that the FBI did not have justification to sustain its nearly three year-long, now debunked, Russia collusion probe or to support Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrants targeting the Trump campaign.
Furthermore, the evidence shows, the false narrative was sustained by repeated leaks of information to the news media that was blatantly false, debunked in many instances by evidence sitting in the FBI's own files. The latest revelations came Friday, when previously classified footnotes from the Justice Department inspector general were unmasked and showed the FBI had stunning reason to distrust Christopher Steele's dossier when the former British spy first pitched it in July 2016.
Here are 13 of the most important revelations that undercut the FBI's predicate for opening an investigation targeting the Trump campaign in July 2016, for obtaining a year's worth of FISA warrants to spy on former campaign adviser Carter Page and for seeking a special prosecutor, Robert Mueller, to take over and extend the probe.
There are many more revelations that expose flaws, lies and misconduct in the creation of a false Russia collusion narrative. But these 13 alone help explain why Barr made such a sweeping statement last week. They also likely explain a statement made years earlier in text messages between two key FBI employees, when lead Russia case Agent Peter Strzok texted his lawyer and paramour Lisa Page in May 2017 that there was "there's no big there there" in the Russia probe.

Anticipation Over U.S. Attorney John Durham's Investigation

KRISTINA WONG
12 Apr 20203,839
"Anticipation over United States Attorney John Durham's investigation is growing as Attorney General William Barr recently hinted he is building the case to prosecute people.
"He is looking to bring to justice people who are engaged in abuses if he can show that they were criminal violations, and that's what the focus is on," Barr told Fox News's Laura Ingraham on Thursday. "He's diligently pursuing it."
The comments have heartened those who have long awaited consequences for current and former officials who investigated the Trump campaign on the basis of a discredited dossier put together by ex-British spy Christopher Steele that was funded by the Clinton campaign.
Barr tapped Durham last year to investigate the origins of the Obama administration's investigation into the Trump campaign, as well as actions taken up through President Trump's inauguration. Last fall, Durham upgraded his investigation to a criminal one.
Durham relocated from Connecticut to Washington, D.C., in March, so that he could continue work on his investigation amid the coronavirus pandemic, the Wall Street Journal reported.
Time is of the essence, with an election looming in November. Barr is reportedly looking to have the investigation finished by the end of summer.
"The closer we get to election day, the more any charges he brought would be framed by the media as kind of a Trump campaign stunt," former U.S. Attorney Andrew McCarthy told WMAL on Saturday.
"So I really think it's in his interest, especially after pouring two years of effort into this, to get with it by the late spring at the latest, because we all know if the president doesn't win reelection, this investigation is going down the memory hole," he said.
"We're getting to the point where a decision has to be made, one way or the other," he added."

"We're getting to the point where a decision has to be made, one way or the other," he added.
Durham is reportedly focusing in on the role of intelligence officials in the investigation of the Trump campaign. Durham's team reportedly began interviews at the CIA earlier this year.
Durham's team is looking at former CIA Director John Brennan's role in the investigation - whether he pushed for an intelligence community assessment (ICA) more damaging to Trump.
Specifically, Durham's team is also looking into whether Brennan pushed for the ICA to include that Russia had interfered to help Trump, when not all intelligence agencies concurred with the same degree of confidence.
The CIA and the FBI had "high confidence" the interference was aimed at helping Trump, but the National Security Agency only had "moderate confidence." Durham has already met with the former head of NSA, Ret. Admiral Mike Rogers.
Durham's team has reportedly also focused on current and former officials at the National Intelligence Council, a unit at the Director of National Intelligence's office that coordinated the ICA.
Investigators are looking into whether the Steele dossier was used in the ICA, and whether former FBI Director James Comey and former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe insisted on the dossier being a part of the assessment's appendix, according to the Washington Examiner.
The team has also informally requested an interview with Steele through British authorities, who refused the request, according to the WSJ. It is not clear whether the team will now have to take a more formal and lengthier route.
Durham's team has also contacted Sir Andrew Wood, the former British Ambassador to Russia who told the late Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) in the fall of 2016 at the Halifax Security Forum in Nova Scotia about the existence of the dossier and arranged to have it sent to his colleague, David Kramer.
Journalist John Solomon recently said in a radio interview that Durham's team has issued multiple grand jury subpoenas.
Barr said although Durham's focus is on prosecution, there will probably be a report as a byproduct of his investigation.
It is not clear what Barr knows of the investigation, but he sounded confident there was wrongdoing.
"My own view is that the evidence shows that we're not dealing with just mistakes or sloppiness," he said. He added:
I think what happened to him was one of the greatest travesties in American history. Without any basis, they started this investigation of his campaign, and even more concerning, actually, is what happened after the campaign, a whole pattern of events while he was president. So I - to sabotage the presidency, and I think that - or at least have the effect of sabotaging the presidency.
Democrats have stepped up attacks on Barr since his interview in response. Progressive watchdog Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) launched a petition calling for Barr to resign the same day his interview aired.

Q Research General #11235: Late Night Digital Army Moves On Truth Edition
Anticipation Over U.S. Attorney John Durham's Investigation Builds
Anticipation over United States Attorney John Durham's investigation is growing as Attorney General William Barr recently hinted he is building the case to prosecute people.
"He is looking to bring to justice people who are engaged in abuses if he can show that they were criminal violations, and that's what the focus is on," Barr told Fox News's Laura Ingraham on Thursday. "He's diligently pursuing it."
The comments have heartened those who have long awaited consequences for current and former officials who investigated the Trump campaign on the basis of a discredited dossier put together by ex-British spy Christopher Steele that was funded by the Clinton campaign.
Barr tapped Durham last year to investigate the origins of the Obama administration's investigation into the Trump campaign, as well as actions taken up through President Trump's inauguration. Last fall, Durham upgraded his investigation to a criminal one.
Durham relocated from Connecticut to Washington, D.C., in March, so that he could continue work on his investigation amid the coronavirus pandemic, the Wall Street Journal reported.
Time is of the essence, with an election looming in November. Barr is reportedly looking to have the investigation finished by the end of summer.
"The closer we get to election day, the more any charges he brought would be framed by the media as kind of a Trump campaign stunt," former U.S. Attorney Andrew McCarthy told WMAL on Saturday.
"So I really think it's in his interest, especially after pouring two years of effort into this, to get with it by the late spring at the latest, because we all know if the president doesn't win reelection, this investigation is going down the memory hole," he said.
"We're getting to the point where a decision has to be made, one way or the other," he added.
Durham is reportedly focusing in on the role of intelligence officials in the investigation of the Trump campaign. Durham's team reportedly began interviews at the CIA earlier this year.
Durham's team is looking at former CIA Director John Brennan's role in the investigation - whether he pushed for an intelligence community assessment (ICA) more damaging to Trump.
Specifically, Durham's team is also looking into whether Brennan pushed for the ICA to include that Russia had interfered to help Trump, when not all intelligence agencies concurred with the same degree of confidence.
The CIA and the FBI had "high confidence" the interference was aimed at helping Trump, but the National Security Agency only had "moderate confidence." Durham has already met with the former head of NSA, Ret. Admiral Mike Rogers.
Durham's team has reportedly also focused on current and former officials at the National Intelligence Council, a unit at the Director of National Intelligence's office that coordinated the ICA.

Q Research General #11221: No Time For Notables Edition
Russian Disinformation Fed the FBI's Trump Investigation
Some answers and some new questions from newly declassified parts of an inspector general's report.
By Ron Johnson
April 10, 2020 4:02 pm ET
Declassified footnotes to a Justice Department inspector general report show that the Federal Bureau of Investigation team investigating members of the Trump campaign received classified reports in 2017 identifying key pieces of the Steele dossier as products of a Russian disinformation campaign. This might be only the tip of the iceberg because other recently declassified information demonstrates that even more disinformation may have been planted in Christopher Steele's reporting.
Let that sink in. The FBI knew that at least some of its evidence against the Trump campaign, and maybe more, was likely part of a Russian disinformation campaign-evidence from a source that was "central and essential" for getting the first FISA warrant. It isn't clear what if anything the FBI did to determine whether their investigation was based in substantial part on Russian disinformation.
Yet the FBI assistant director in charge of the investigation, Bill Priestap, told the inspector general that as of May 2017 (when Robert Mueller took over as special counsel), the FBI "didn't have any indication whatsoever" that their evidence was part of a Russian disinformation campaign.
I first learned all this in late December 2019, when a member of my staff reviewed the classified version of the inspector general's report and asked me to meet him in a secure room under the Capitol. As he walked me through the four footnotes, my immediate reaction was that the American people needed to know this information as soon as possible. My colleague Sen. Chuck Grassley and I began pressing Attorney General William Barr, and eventually acting Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell, for full declassification of these footnotes. That's why they're now public.
The FBI team's handling of these intelligence reports seems consistent with how it ran the entire investigation. From the opening of the investigation, the FBI team kept accumulating exculpatory information. Yet rather than wind the investigation down, they ramped it up. Minimally intrusive open-source searches became Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrants and confidential human sources targeting campaign staffers.

DOJ: 'Expect action' on government regulation of religious services amid COVID-19 outbreak
The Justice Department (DOJ) may take action next week against local governments that have cracked down on religious services as widespread parts of the country are shut down due to the coronavirus pandemic, a DOJ spokesperson said Saturday.
"While social distancing policies are appropriate during this emergency, they must be applied evenhandedly [and] not single out religious [organizations]," DOJ Director of Communications Kerri Kupec tweeted.
She said the Attorney General William Barr is "monitoring" such regulations.
The DOJ move would come as some churches are standing up to city governments that have blocked them from holding in-person services during the outbreak – even in "drive-in" formats that keep people separated and in their own cars.
A judge in Louisville, Ky., on Saturday issued a temporary restraining order blocking enforcement of Mayor Greg Fischer's ban on drive-in church services there.
"The Mayor's decision is stunning," District Judge Justin Walker, a former clerk to Supreme Court Associate Justice Brett Kavanaugh, wrote in a memorandum to the order. "And it is, 'beyond all reason,' unconstitutional."
Freedom of religion is the first of the five freedoms guaranteed by the First Amendment.
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof," its text begins.
Separately, in Greenville, Miss., two churches have said that police came to their drive-in services and threatened to fine worshipers.
"Churches are strongly encouraged to hold services via Facebook Live, Zoom, Free Conference Call, and any and all other social media, streaming and telephonic platforms," Mayor Errick Simmons' office said in an April 7 press release announcing a ban on in-person and drive-in church services.
Attorneys with the Alliance Defending Freedom have filed a lawsuit challenging that order on behalf of the Temple Baptist Church in Greenville.
Kelly Shackelford, president of the First Liberty Institute, argued in an appearance on "Tucker Carlson Tonight" on Friday that the city's order "is just massively unconstitutional."
"It targets churches in a way that it targets no other group," he said. "Cars in parking lots are fine. It's only a crime if the cars in the parking lot are at the church parking lot."

DOJ threatens to take action against pandemic crackdowns on religious ceremonies
The Justice Department signaled Saturday night it may intervene against local governments that are cracking down on religious ceremonies during the pandemic, warning that action could come as early as next week.
Justice Department spokeswoman Kerri Kupec used her Twitter account on the eve of Easter to announce that Attorney General William Barr was monitoring efforts to stop Easter religious ceremonies.
"During this sacred week for many Americans, AG Barr is monitoring govt regulation of religious services," Kupec tweeted. "While social distancing policies are appropriate during this emergency, they must be applied evenhandedly & not single out religious orgs. Expect action from DOJ next week!"
The statement comes as numerous municipalities across the country have been reportedly taking actions to stop churchgoers from celebrating Easter together, including in Louisville where the mayor threatened to track license plates and fine anyone who attends a public ceremony.
A federal judge Saturday actually blocked Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer from enforcing his ban on drive-in church services on Easter, calling it unconstitutional.
"An American mayor criminalized the communal celebration of Easter," U.S. District Judge Justin Walker wrote while issuing a temporary restraining order. "That sentence is one that this Court never expected to see outside the pages of a dystopian novel, or perhaps the pages of The Onion.
"The Mayor's decision is stunning. And it is, 'beyond all reason,' unconstitutional," the judge added.

FBI sabotaged Trump's presidency: Barr
Attorney General William Barr says that what the FBI did to President Trump in the Russia probe was one of the "greatest travesties in American history."
He said investigator misdeeds went beyond "mistakes or sloppiness" to "sabotaging the presidency."
Mr. Barr told Laura Ingraham on Fox News Thursday night that the FBI lacked sufficient evidence to open an investigation into the Trump campaign.

'Here we go again': Pelosi, Schiff plot new probe of Trump
John Durham, a U.S. attorney and the attorney general's special investigator since March on origins of the Trump-Russia election investigation, will file a report at some point.
But, Mr. Barr said, "his primary focus isn't to prepare a report. He's looking to bring to justice people who are engaged in abuses if he can show that there were criminal violations and that is what the focus is on, building these cases, especially the sprawling case we have between us that went on for two or three years here.
"It takes some time to build a case. So he's diligently pursuing it. My own view is that the evidence shows we're not dealing with just mistakes or sloppiness. There's something far more troubling here and we're going to get to the bottom of it ...... and if people broke the law and we can establish that with the evidence they will be prosecuted."
The FBI opened the Trump probe on July 31, 2016, singling out four Trump associates suspected of having contacts with Russians. There was no evidence at the time that they were involved in a conspiracy with the Kremlin to interfere in the election.
In March 2017, then-FBI Director James Comey announced at a House hearing that the entire campaign was under investigation for any links to Russian government officials.
In the end, special counsel Robert Mueller concluded in March, after a 22-month probe, that he did not establish a conspiracy and no Trump ally was charged in election interference.
Along the way, the FBI relied greatly on the Christopher Steele dossier. Financed by the Democratic Party and Hillary Clinton campaign, Mr. Steele, a former British intelligence officer, leveled more than a dozen conspiracy allegations against Mr. Trump and associates. All were disproven by subsequent government reports.
The FBI used the dossier to convince judges to let agents spy on Trump volunteer Carter Page. The Justice Department inspector general said the warrant applications were riddled with errors and omissions of exonerating evidence.
The IG, however, did say the probe was justified because there is a low bar for starting a counter-intelligence inquiry.
With this FBI conduct as a backdrop, Mr. Barr told Ms. Ingraham: "I think the president has every right to

Georgia Man Arrested for Attempting to Defraud the Department of Veterans Affairs in a Multimillion-Dollar COVID-19 Scam
Christopher Parris, a 39-year-old Atlanta, Georgia resident, was arrested today and charged in federal court in the District of Columbia with fraud for attempting to sell millions of nonexistent respirator masks to the Department of Veterans Affairs in exchange for large upfront payments, the Justice Department announced.
The criminal complaint charges Parris with wire fraud. It alleges that he made and caused to be made a series of fraudulent misrepresentations in an attempt to secure orders from the Department of Veterans Affairs for 125 million face masks and other personal protective equipment (PPE) that would have totaled over $750 million. For example, the complaint alleges that Parris promised that he could obtain millions of genuine 3M masks from domestic factories when he knew that fulfilling the orders would not be possible. Parris also allegedly made similar false representations to other entities in an effort to enter into other fraudulent agreements to sell PPE to state governments.
"We will vigorously pursue fraudsters who exploit the COVID-19 pandemic to make money," said Attorney General William Barr. "As this case demonstrates, even beyond the typical costs associated with unlawful behavior, COVID-19 scams divert government time and resources and risk preventing front-line responders and consumers from obtaining the equipment they need to combat this pandemic. The Department of Justice will not tolerate this conduct, especially when it involves this kind of egregious attempt to target and defraud our nation's treasures - our veterans."

Barr says evidence from Durham investigation is 'far more
troubling' than mistakes or sloppiness
April 09, 2020 10:51 PM
"Attorney General William Barr shed new light on U.S. Attorney John Durham's review of the Russia investigation.
He told Fox News host Laura Ingraham that Connecticut's top federal prosecutor is unearthing troubling evidence and vowed prosecutions if laws were broken and a case can be made.
"My own view is that the evidence shows that we're not dealing with just mistakes or sloppiness. There is something far more troubling here, and we're going to get to the bottom of it. And if people broke the law, and we can establish that with the evidence, they will be prosecuted," Barr said in the segment of the interview that aired Thursday evening.
Durham was appointed last year by Barr to investigate the origins of the Trump-Russia investigation and to review possible misconduct by federal law enforcement and intelligence officials. The review upgraded into a criminal investigation in the fall, giving the prosecutor the power to impanel a grand jury and hand down indictments. The attorney general told Durham to focus just as much on the time period after the 2016 election as before it.
"He is looking to bring to justice people who are engaged in abuses if he can show that they were criminal violations, and that's what the focus is on," Barr said. "And as you know, being a lawyer you yourself, building these cases - especially the kinds of sprawling case we have between us that went on for two or three years here - it takes some time - it takes some time to build the case. So he's diligently pursuing it."
Special counsel Robert Mueller's 448-page report, released in April, found the Russians had interfered in the 2016 election in a "sweeping and systematic fashion," but "did not establish" any criminal conspiracy between the Trump campaign and Russia. Barr suggested there would also likely end up being a Durham report.
"Well, I think a report maybe - and probably - will be a byproduct of his activity," Barr told Ingraham."

Is Huawei 'Gifting' PPE In Exchange for 5G Contracts?
Huawei has gifted "millions of protective masks and gloves to Italy, Spain, the Netherlands, Lithuania, Poland, Greece and Switzerland,"as Reuters reported. But there's more to this generosity than meets the eye, as asserted by Congressman Mark Green (R-TN), who told Fox News this week: "In France, we were told yesterday on a conference call that [French President Emanuel] Macron was talking to [Chinese President] Xi and Macron asked for a billion masks, and Xi said, 'We'll give them to you if you implement 5G with Huawei.' That's who China is and it's time the world wake up and recognize it."
To skeptics, Huawei's efforts illustrate an attempt to secure lucrative 5G contracts amidst new January EU guidelines - which block Huawei from developing critical infrastructure networks. In response to the accusations, Huawei spokesman Joe Kelly said, "a small minority may have misunderstood our motives, which are simply to help people when and where we can." Quick to defend Huawei's generosity, the European Union's Industry Chief, Thierry Breton, condemned public accusations of any supposed ulterior motive replying: "Now the epicenter of the pandemic is in Europe... of course we welcome the fact that the Chinese government is saying 'how can we return the help.'"
It now appears Breton spoke too soon. Huawei is a telecommunications equipment giant and the world's second-largest smartphone supplier behind Samsung. Founded in 1987 by Ren Zhengfei, Huawei today employs nearly 200,000 people across the globe. Mr. Ren Zhengfei himself belongs to China's Communist Party and served as a military officer in the People's Liberation Army for nine years. According to Huawei, "When Ren Zhengfei was a young man, you needed to be a Communist Party member to have any position of responsibility." Therein lies the problem. To be a successful businessman in China, you have to toe the party line.
Reviews conducted by the Wall Street Journal corroborate the speculated Huawei-Beijing alliance. Starting out as an unknown phone switch vendor, Huawei has metamorphosized into the world's largest telecommunications equipment company in the blink of an eye. Facilitated by grants, credit facilities, tax breaks, and other forms of financial assistance, Huawei's rise stemmed from generous government backing. Analysts report that Huawei's charitable financing terms "undercut rivals' prices by some 30%" Huawei's allegiance to Beijing is particularly alarming considering the Chinese Communist Party's egregious human rights record.
In the Xinjiang province, China's imprisons much of its minority Muslim population. According to The Hill, "within Xinjiang, Chinese authorities have built a system of unmatched surveillance and social control facilitated by facial recognition scans, voice biometric data, DNA collection, and artificial intelligence for racial profiling." Recently, reports have surfaced tying Huawei to the CCP's repression efforts. According to United States Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, Huawei poses "massive security and privacy risks." Fearful of Huawei's desire to dominate the global 5G network and thus infiltrate our allies' countries, Pompeo warns: "With 5G capabilities, the CCP could use Huawei to steal private or proprietary information or use kill switches to disrupt critical future applications like electrical grids and telesurgery centers." Attorney General William Barr also sounded the Huawei alarm during a speech he gave at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in February stating: "Much of the discussion on the dangers of allowing China to establish dominance in 5G has been focused on the immediate security concern of using communications networks that China can monitor and surveil. That is, in fact, a monumental danger."

Q Research General #11185: How Do You Hide A Truth? Edition
Attorney General William Barr told Fox News' Laura Ingraham on Wednesday night that the Chinese government is engaged in a "full-court blitzkrieg" against the United States.
"This virus originated in China, we still don't have all the data, we still don't really know about Patient Zero in China," Ingraham said. "A lot of that data is being withheld still from the United States, and top medical people are saying that. What about the Justice Department getting involved more, I guess obviously, to the American people in this battle against the ongoing propaganda machine of China in the United States at our universities, in businesses - hey, in the White House Press Room the other day."
"Yes. The Department is heavily engaged in that, in fact that's one of our highest priorities in the counter intelligence realm, counter espionage realm, and protection of trade secrets as our activity's directed to defend against the Chinese," Barr responded. "The Chinese are engaged in a full-court blitzkrieg of stealing American technology, trying to influence our political system, trying to steal secrets at our research universities and so forth. And we are focused on it. We have something we call the China Initiative. We've brought a lot of indictments, but it's something that we also have to expose by letting the business community understand exactly the nature of the threat."
"Given what you know today about the panoply of abuses internationally against the United States, who's the bigger threat to America's election security - Russia, or China?" Ingraham asked.
"In my opinion it's China," Barr responded. "And not just to the election process, but I think across the board there's simply no comparison. China is a very serious threat to the United States geopolitically, economically, militarily, and a threat to the integrity of our institutions given their ability to influence things."

Barr disappointed by partisan attacks leveled at President Trump, says media on a 'jihad' against hydroxychloroquine
Victor Garcia
published 13 hours ago
Attorney General William Barr told "The Ingraham Angle" Wednesday that he was disappointed over the partisan attacks leveled against President Trump during the coronavirus pandemic and blasted reporters for waging a "jihad" to discredit the effectiveness of the malaria drug hydroxychloroquine.
"It's very disappointing because I think the president went out at the beginning of [the coronavirus pandemic] and really was statesmanlike, trying to bring people together, working with all the governors," Barr said. "Keeping his patience as he as he got these snarky, gotcha questions from the White House media pool and the stridency of the partisan attacks on him has gotten higher and higher."
DR. FAUCI: 'WE'RE STARTING TO SEE GLIMMERS OF HOPE ' BUT DISTANCING STRATEGIES MUST BE 'INTENSIFIED'
Barr's criticism toward the media sharpened when he addressed the coverage of hydroxychloroquine and its possible role in the fight against the coronavirus. He said before the president mentioned the drug, the media was fair in its coverage but as soon as Trump mentioned it, "the media has been on a jihad to discredit the drug," Barr said. "It's quite strange."
Host Laura Ingraham asked Barr about the possibility of extending the shutdown and its impact on the country. Barr said a depression would make the health care system "weaker."
"We cannot keep for a long period of time our economy shut down just on the public health thing. It means less cancer. Cancer researchers or at home. A lot of the disease reaches researchers who will save lives in the future. That's being held in abeyance," Barr said. "The money that goes into these institutions, whether philanthropic sources or government sources, is going to be reduced. We will have a weaker health care system if we go into a deep depression. So it just measured it in lives. The cure cannot be worse than the disease."
The attorney general lamented the loss of family businesses during the shutdown, saying after the 30-day period the U.S. needs to "find a way" to allow businesses to adapt.
"But when you think of everything else, generations of families who have built up businesses for generations in this country and recent immigrants who have built up businesses, snuffed out. Small businesses that may not be able to come back if this goes on too long," Barr said. "So we have to find, after the 30-day period, we have to find a way of allowing businesses to adapt to this situation and figure out how they can best get started."

The Coronavirus emergency that's caused enormous distress throughout the nation has led Durham to leave his offices in Connecticut and set up shop in Washington D.C. to continue his investigation, especially the actions of intelligence officials such as Brennan.
A former CIA special agent claims that Durham plans to question John Brennan soon especially since Brennan has been "shooting his mouth off on the far-left news network MSNBC as its intelligence and national security analyst."

A month ago former British spy and author of the junk Trump-Russia dossier, Christopher Steele, defended his unconfirmed trash report on candidate Donald Trump and said he would never speak to US Attorney General William Barr or US Attorney John Durham. Now it looks like Steele may be forced to speak to the courts as three Russians are suing him for slandering them in his infamous work labeled the Steele dossier.
Steele, who spoke at Oxford University a month ago, said he will not cooperate with William Barr and John Durham. There is currently a criminal referral on Steele for lying to congressional investigators. The former British spy inflicted upon America the Russia scam that derailed the Trump administration for three years and tore the country apart.

<FISA court orders DOJ to review flawed surveillance applications and provide names of targets
The judge ordered the Justice Department to provide the court with "the names of the targets" for all 29 applications and to specify which targets and docket numbers correspond with the court applications with no Woods file - and the three of those for which no Woods file may have ever existed. He further ruled that the agency must "assess to what extent those 29 applications involved material misstatements or omissions" and "assess whether any such material misstatements and omissions render invalid, in whole or in part, authorizations granted by the Court for that target in the reviewed docket or other dockets." The judge asked the Justice Department to prioritize the cases with no Woods file.
In January, Boasberg revealed that the Justice Department decided that, "in view of the material misstatements and omissions" in the filings, the final two of four Page FISA warrants "were not valid" and said the agency was still reviewing the first two.
The FBI told the court it was working to " sequester" all the information obtained through the Page wiretaps until the completion of a further review of the DOJ inspector general report on the warrants and the "outcome of related investigations and any litigation." FBI Director Christopher Wray testified to Congress he was working to "claw back" information gleaned through the electronic surveillance of Page.
Boasberg also said Friday that, by mid-June, the DOJ must make "a sworn submission reporting on the conduct and results of the assessments" ordered by the judge, "including the basis for assessing that particular misstatements or omissions were not material or otherwise did not render invalid any Court authorization." At that time, and then every two months thereafter, the judge said the Justice Department must "report on the progress of efforts to account for and ensure the proper maintenance of Woods Files" for every single docket going back to the start of 2015 and "take associated remedial steps" as appropriate.
The judge also required the Justice Department by late May to explain the audits, reviews, and compliance mechanisms the FBI was putting in place and "describe how the government will use the results of accuracy reviews to identify patterns or trends so that the FBI can enhance training to improve performance in following the Woods Procedures or improve policies to help ensure the accuracy of FISA applications."
The FBI told the Washington Examiner it received the FISA court's order.
"Maintaining the trust and confidence of the Court is paramount to the FBI and we are continuing to implement the 40-plus corrective actions ordered by Director Wray in December 2019," the bureau said. "Although the applications reviewed by the IG in this audit predate the announcement of these corrective actions, the FBI understands the Court's desire to obtain information related to the applications. In line with our duty of candor to the Court and our responsibilities to the American people, we will continue to work closely with the FISC and the Department of Justice to ensure that our FISA authorities are exercised responsibly."
In a rare public order last year, the FISA court criticized the FBI's handling of the Page applications as "antithetical to the heightened duty of candor described above" and demanded an evaluation from the bureau. The FISA court also ordered a review of all FISA filings handled by Kevin Clinesmith, the FBI lawyer who altered a key document about Page in the third renewal process. He is now under criminal investigation by U.S. Attorney John Durham, a prosecutor from Connecticut who was tasked by Attorney General William Barr with investigating the origins and conduct of the Russia inquiry.

Q Research General #11122: Do not Pray for Easy Lives, Pray to be Stronger Edition
Decentralized leadership raises questions about Trump coronavirus response
The rotating cast of officials appearing behind President Trump to detail the government's response to the coronavirus are leading to new criticisms that they reflect a scattered approach from the White House that too often leaves states fending for themselves.
Top Trump administration officials say the appearances by a broad range of administration officials shows the "all of government" undertaken to combat the coronavirus.
But some current and former government officials see a disconnected strategy where it can be unclear who's in charge of what or whether there is a coordinated long-term plan.
The shifting assignments and addition of officials with unclear responsibilities have contributed to the inefficient distribution of key supplies, those officials argue, which has been exacerbated by Trump's insistence that the federal government merely play a supporting role for states.
"The approach that's been taken at the White House with respect to critical inputs - protective gear, testing kits, ventilators, reagents, skilled personnel - there has never been a clear plan," said Steve Morrison, director of Global Health Policy at the Center for Strategic and International Studies.
"And the alternative has been a very haphazard patchwork approach that has gone from overpromising and underdelivering multiple times and left the states on their own," added Morrison, a former Clinton administration official.
In recent days, more than a dozen administration officials have appeared behind Trump at the daily briefings.
Attorney General William Barr rolled out new drug interdiction efforts; Defense Secretary Mark Esper spoke about the military pitching in while retaining combat readiness; Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin touched on economic relief for businesses; senior adviser Jared Kushner outlined partnerships with the private sector; and top trade adviser Peter Navarro elaborated on the use of the Defense Production Act.
A White House spokesman rejected criticism that the effort has been disconnected. He identified Vice President Pence as the person in charge of coordinating the entire response, and listed dozens of actions taken by the administration that include travel restrictions, disaster declarations for states and funding for businesses and families impacted by the virus.
"As both the President and Vice President have said, this is a locally executed, state managed, federally supported response to a global pandemic," deputy press secretary Judd Deere said in a statement. "Every level of government needs to deliver solutions and that is what we are doing in partnership. During these difficult times, Americans are receiving comfort, hope and resources from their President, as well as their local officials, because this is an all-of-America effort."
The White House has shifted responsibilities as it scrambled to get its arms around the magnitude of the pandemic, which Trump downplayed for January and most of February.
The White House created a coronavirus task force at the end of January, putting Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Alex Azar in charge.

Barr orders increase in home confinement as virus surges
Attorney General William Barr has ordered the Bureau of Prisons to increase the use of home confinement
Associated Press
April 4, 2020, 3:30 AM
"WASHINGTON – Attorney General William Barr ordered the Bureau of Prisons on Friday to increase the use of home confinement and expedite the release of eligible high-risk inmates at three federal prisons where coronavirus cases have skyrocketed.
Officials were told to give highest priority to inmates who are being held at FCC Oakdale, a prison complex in Louisiana where five inmates have died and more than a dozen others remain hospitalized. Also listed were FCI Elkton in Ohio - where three inmates have died - and FCI Danbury in Connecticut, which has reported 20 inmates testing positive for coronavirus.
"We have to move with dispatch in using home confinement, where appropriate, to move vulnerable inmates out of these institutions," Barr said in a Friday evening memo to the prison system's director.
As of Friday night, 91 inmates and 50 staff members had tested positive for coronavirus at federal correctional facilities across the U.S., the agency said. Congressional leaders and prison advocates have been pressing the Justice Department for weeks to release at-risk inmates ahead of a potential outbreak, arguing that the public health guidance to stay 6 feet away from other people is nearly impossible behind bars."

US Attorney General Announces Bureau of Prisons Under Emergency Conditions Due to COVID-19 Pandemic
The United States remains the nation worst affected by the new coronavirus disease, as its virus tally has exceeded 270,900, the count by Johns Hopkins University shows.
The Bureau of Prisons (BOP) is facing emergency conditions due to the COVID-19 pandemic, US Attorney General William Barr announced on Friday. This allows the BOP to release more federal inmates into home confinement.
Prisoners at facilities where major coronavirus outbreaks have occurred will be prioritised, Barr added.
Earlier on Tuesday, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio announced that city authorities had released as many as 900 inmates from prison and will continue to free more prisoners in a bid to stop the COVID-19 spread.
The total number of COVID-19 infections in the US has reached 276,955, with at least 7,406 fatalities.

John Durham investigation intensifies focus on John Brennan
U.S. Attorney John Durham's review of the Russia investigation is putting increased scrutiny on former CIA Director John Brennan, searching for any undue influence he may have had during 2017's intelligence community assessment of Russian interference.
Durham, selected by Attorney General William Barr last year to lead this inquiry, drove to Washington, D.C., in March to ensure the investigation stayed on track during the coronavirus outbreak. The top Connecticut federal prosecutor is looking into highly sensitive issues, including whether Brennan took politicized actions to pressure the rest of the intelligence community to match his conclusions about Russian President Vladimir Putin's motivations, according to sources cited by the Wall Street Journal.
Officials said Durham has been interviewing CIA officials this year, zeroing in on those at the National Intelligence Council, a center within the Office of the Director of National Intelligence which oversaw the collaboration between the CIA, FBI, and National Security Agency in putting together the 2017 assessment, and looking at how the work product was finalized.
The 2017 assessment concluded with "high confidence" that Putin "ordered an influence campaign in 2016" and Russia worked to "undermine public faith" in U.S. democracy, "denigrate" former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and "harm her electability and potential presidency," and "developed a clear preference" for Trump. The NSA diverged on one aspect, expressing only "moderate confidence" that Putin actively tried to help Trump win and Clinton lose.

Today, 3M Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Mike Roman delivered the following letter to William Barr, attorney general of the United States; Larry Hogan, governor of Maryland and chair of the National Governors Association; and Tim Fox, attorney general of Montana and president of the National Association of Attorneys General, highlighting 3M's actions to curb counterfeiting and price gouging of personal protective equipment during the COVID-19 pandemic. The letter also urges federal and state governments and law enforcement officials to continue to lead the fight, with 3M's support and assistance, against those who are exploiting the crisis by marketing counterfeit products or gouging the public.
…
Dear Attorney General Barr, Governor Hogan, and Attorney General Fox:
On behalf of 3M and our 96,000 employees worldwide, I would like to offer our support as you protect the public from counterfeiting and price-gouging with respect to critical medical devices, including the respirators and masks that are critical to our country's medical personnel.
This pandemic is affecting us all. 3M is doing all that it can to support public health and those impacted by this global health crisis. We are mobilizing all available resources and rapidly increasing output of critical supplies healthcare workers in the United States and around the world need to help protect their lives as they treat others.
Since the COVID-19 outbreak, 3M has doubled its output of N95 respirators. We are running our manufacturing lines around the clock seven days a week, hiring workers, adding shifts, and activating more production lines. In addition, 3M is increasing its investment to expand its global capacity for manufacturing these respirators by more than 30 percent in the next 12 months. Here in the U.S., 3M currently manufactures more than 400 million N95 respirators annually. This production capacity, as well as our increased production of hand sanitizers and disinfectants, is critical to supporting healthcare workers and first responders. We are also in the process of working with logistics providers and large e-marketplace operators on a coordinated strategy and action plan to ensure products rapidly get to where they are needed most.
3M has not increased the prices it charges for respirators as a result of this global crisis. 3M will not increase its current pricing for respirators being used to help address the pandemic.
We assume you have seen the many reports of fraudulent activity and price gouging involving medical devices, including our N95 respirators. We are currently providing assistance directly to the public to help curb this activity:
https://multimedia.3m.com/mws/media/1803670O/fraudulent-activity-and-counterfeit-products.pdf.
We are also in the process of working with large e-marketplace operators on a coordinated strategy and action plan to identify and remove counterfeiters and price-gougers and to refer them to the appropriate law enforcement authorities. In addition, we would welcome the opportunity to provide assistance to you as you seek to identify and hold individuals and organizations accountable for making counterfeit respirators or inflating prices.
We will continue to do all we can to support healthcare workers and those on the front lines combatting the COVID-19 outbreak. We stand ready to work with federal and state governments to end unethical actions that exploit this global pandemic and threaten those working so hard to protect public health and safety.
Respectfully,
Mike Roman
Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer

After Congressional Coronavirus Meetings, Pelosi Bought $5 Million in Amazon Stock Before U.S. Retailers Were Forced to Close; And She Already Made Millions
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and her husband are cashing in already on $5 million of Amazon stock purchased during the time frame that closed-door coronavirus meetings were being conducted in Congress.
As of Tuesday morning, the Pelosi stock purchase had already earned the couple $1.1 million in less than 10 weeks. The Amazon share price climbed close to $2,000 on Tuesday. Paul Pelosi, the speaker's husband, got in at a price of $1,600 per share and grabbed 3,000 shares on Jan. 17, according to financial disclosure filings.
Additionally, Paul Pelosi held 40 additional call options on Amazon stock too and sold those on Jan. 17 as well, netting him between $500,000 and $1 million, filings shows.
That's like a quick $2 million in profit. Where is William Barr? Paging AG Barr ...

How Many Patients Died While Cuomo Lied? NY Gov.
Hoarded Ventilators While Patients Had to Share or Had None
11 MINS AGO
"This will be a great test for U.S. Attorney General William Barr who, flanked by President Trump, warned all comers last week that anyone caught hoarding critical medical supplies would be prosecuted by the Justice Department.
Literally days later, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo was busted hoarding thousands of ventilators from sick patients while he jockeyed with the federal government to buy and send New York more ventilators because he said the state was experiencing a supposed dire shortage. It turns out, that was a lie and Cuomo was just being a cheap bureaucrat, gambling with the lives of sick patients while trying to haord even more ventilators, this time for free."

NY Gov Cuomo repeated strongly "nobody is immune from this virus" — This is not true for Covid-19. People are building up immunities. So he is speaking of something else.
He has continually spoken of NY being a model for the rest of America.
He said something odd "the longer you are on a ventilator the longer you will stay on a ventilator" ….. Could be speaking of crime or pain versus penalty.
The situation is PAINFULLY CLEAR…. no question to the consequences.
HE said life is options.
Only two missions:
1) Public needs to be responsible
2) Front-line battle is our healthcare workers.
He says NY is not successful to keep density out of playgounds… what playground is he really speaking.
You know exactly where the enemy is going to attack.
Flatten curve
Continued to use language of troops being the soldiers. He is calling for relief from other states.
As before he says if you help we will return the favor.
Mentions Detroit and New Orleans.
Everyone competing for supplies… all trying to buy from China. The prices are being driven up. Two weeks ago $20,000 for ventilator, no jacked prices up to $50,000. William Barr spoke strongly against this.
He says he is building stockpiles not for immediate use. He wants to stock up even if he is not currently needing them. Trying to give an excuse for hoarding —- which is BullShit!
(NY is not USA's only city or state that needs help. He acts like NY is the most important.)
He stated "it is too late to prepare when storm hits".
If there is division or politics we will not make it.
Stresses NOW.

Venezuelan General is Extradited to US - Second General Surrenders After US Puts Bounty on Leaders of Criminal Socialist Maduro Regime
Elda Primera March 28, 2020
On Thursday US Attorney General William Barr along with the DEA and prosecutors from the Justice Department filed charges against the Maduro regime.
The US Department of Justice accused the Maduro regime of narco-terrorism, drug trafficking, corruption and money laundering. The charges were made against Maduro, Diosdado Cabello and 12 members of the Venezuelan cartel. US offered a generous reward of millions of US dollars for handing over to regime criminals making the announcement much more attractive.
On Saturday Venezuelan General Cliver Alcala was in custody in New York City. General Alcalá is the first regime official to be detained by the US authorities.
The socialist general will be presented before the federal court for being part of the criminal Venezuelan cartel.
According to the El Espectador.com the Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro responded to the US threats, saying, "From here they take me dead". The narco-dictator added, "Are they going to accuse us of being terrorists? Here we are, the sons of Chávez. They will not be able to do this to us."
After the US threats another regim official, Vladimir Padrino Lopez said he was absolutely loyal to the socialist regime.
During his speech, the Defense Minister Vladimir Padrino López, said "no empire" will make him give in and he will defend his revolutionary and anti-imperialist principles.
By the way, General Hugo Carvajal has also decided to turn himself in to US authorities. The decision is being processed in Spain and will be effective in a few hours.
The DOJ has just charged Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro with conspiracy to commit narco-terrorism and has offered a $15 million reward for information leading to his arrest.
The US Justice Department offered $ 10 million to obtain information Carvajal's his whereabouts. Most importantly, this would be the second member of the Venezuelan cartel to surrender.

CARACAS (Reuters) - The former head of Venezuela's military intelligence unit, Hugo Carvajal, is in the process of surrendering to U.S. authorities, two people familiar with the matter said, after prosecutors charged him on Thursday with drug trafficking alongside Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro.
Carvajal, a former general and ally of late Venezuelan leader Hugo Chavez, has been in hiding since a Spanish court in November approved his extradition to the United States. It was unclear when he will formally surrender to U.S. authorities and the two people declined to say.
On Friday, U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency agents flew to Colombia to remand in custody retired Venezuelan general Cliver Alcala, three people familiar with the matter said, after he agreed to work with prosecutors who charged him in the same case.
The U.S. government indicted Carvajal, Alcala, Maduro, and a dozen other current and former Venezuelan officials on charges of "narco-terrorism", the latest escalation of a pressure campaign by U.S. President Donald Trump administration to oust the socialist leader.
Attorney General William Barr accused Maduro and his associates of colluding with a dissident faction of the demobilized Colombian guerrilla group, the FARC, "to flood the United States with cocaine."
Carvajal has repeatedly denied accusations he helped smuggle cocaine to the United States.
Since leaving Venezuela, Carvajal has denounced Maduro and given his support to opposition leader Juan Guaido.
He was arrested by Spanish police in April 2019 at the request of U.S. authorities but Spain's High Court initially ruled that he should be released and his extradition request denied. The court reversed that decision in November.

Jewish U.S. Attorney General William Barr Makes Slapping A Jew A Federal 'Hate' Crime
"
Tiffany Harris, the Black woman who made headlines for randomly slapping three Jewish women in December on the streets of Brooklyn for no apparent reason whatsoever - and then quickly being released from jail - has been charged with federal hate crimes:
"U.S. Attorney General William Barr announced the Justice Department's decision to charge Tiffany Harris in a meeting Tuesday morning with Jewish leaders in Brooklyn at which he pledged "zero tolerance" for anti-Semitism.
"These are the kinds of cases that maybe in the past would have been treated locally, but I think it's important for the federal government to plant its flag," Barr said at the meeting. "We will move aggressively when we see this kind of activity."
Harris has emerged as a flashpoint in the debate over a bail reform law that went into effect Jan. 1 in New York state. The law, which prohibits bail requirements for most nonviolent and minor offenses, was intended to ensure that defendants are not treated differently based on their financial means.
Harris' arrests - after her release, she was arrested again for assault - took place before the law went into effect. Still, politicians who oppose the law have cited the 30-year-old woman in making the case that judges should have discretion to impose bail requirements.
"A bigger, stronger example should have been made of this violent anti-Semitic criminal, not the opposite," Lee Zeldin, a Republican Jewish congressman from Long Island, said earlier this month.
That appears to be happening with the federal charges, which come amid Barr's "zero tolerance" pledge and as the New York Police Department seeks ways to circumvent the bail law.
"I am appalled that Tiffany Harris is being used as a scapegoat for the fear-mongering surrounding bail reform," Lisa Schreibersdorf, Harris' lawyer, told the New York Daily News on Tuesday. "
The U.S. Attorney General, William Barr, is jewish through his father and should have recused himself in this case for the conflict of interest, but it's an antisemitic 'canard' to claim that Jews cannot be objective about a legal matter involving their fellow Jews.
Bear in mind that none of Harris' jewish 'victims' were seriously injured by these 'attacks', except perhaps their 'dignity'.
White people are permanently maimed and murdered by Blacks in random attacks almost every day in America, but those attacks will never be prosecuted as Federal crimes.
The reason Harris was let out on bail after slapping the Jew was that the court did not consider her crime 'serious' and there were obviously no injuries to her 'victims'. But now that she got out on bail and did it again, Jews want that bail loophole closed.
When a White person is murdered by that loophole, no one cares.
When a Jew gets slapped, an example needs to be set.
The idea that merely slapping a 'protected class' in America has now reached the level of a Federal crime should really make people wake up to what's coming. This is just the beginning.
This two-tier justice system will increase antisemitism, not reduce it, and it should be Jews themselves who object to this dangerous special treatment.
"
To be clear, I still support Trump and Barr, nobody is perfect, but only speaking out against this "Jews are special" bullshit will lead to peaceful change.
And obviously, shit like this makes people hate Jews, and is dangerous for Jews.
NOTE:
Barr's father was born Jewish but later converted to Catholicism. His mother is of Irish ancestry. Barr was raised Catholic.
He's Catholic, not Jewish.
The article goes overboard regarding that, but the gist of the article is solid (Jews are getting unfair special treatment that only makes everyone hate them).

Abdelbaset Al-Megrahi was convicted of the Lockerbie bombing, 23 April 2017 [Twitter]
It later emerged that Toni Gauci received $2 million in return for his testimony against Al-Megrahi before he disappeared from Malta altogether. Many experts think that he was coached on his story to be as convincing as possible. Under Scottish law, it is illegal to reward or coach witnesses in any legal proceedings.
READ: Humanity and responsibility are needed in the fight for Tripoli
According to Professor Black, the High Court of Judiciary could return its verdict before the 32nd anniversaries of the atrocity on 21 December this year. Meticulous as ever, the now retired professor thinks the court is likely to quash the original verdict and thus exonerate the late Abdelbaset Al-Megrahi posthumously. If that happens, he believes that Al-Megrahi's family would be "entitled to claim compensation for wrongful imprisonment." The convicted man spent eight years in prison after his conviction on 31 January 2001 before being released in 2009 on compassionate grounds as he was terminally ill with prostate cancer. However, warned Black, any such claim is likely to be resisted strongly.
At this stage we might feel entitled to ask what should happen to Libya if the verdict goes the way that Al-Megrahi's family hope. The North African country had to endure crippling economic sanctions imposed by a series of UN Security Council resolutions starting with Resolution 731 passed on 21 March 1992. If Al-Megrahi is vindicated, might Libya also be vindicated and possibly claim compensation for the damage caused by the sanctions? Can it ask for the reimbursement of $2.7 billion paid to victims' families? Even though the country accepted responsibility for the actions of its "officials" - Al-Megrahi and Fhimah, who was station manager for Libyan Arab Airlines in Malta at the time of the bombing - the money was paid as part of the requirements of the UN Resolutions.
Whatever the Scottish High Court of Justiciary decides later this year, many think that Al-Megrahi and Libya are already exonerated by the fact that the SCCRC has raised serious doubts about the trial and its verdict. Given the obvious US links to the case, it is interesting to note that current US Attorney General William Barr was the acting Attorney General who indicted the two Libyans in 1991. What will he have to say when the Court in Scotland returns its verdict?

Alleged Maduro accomplice surrenders to U.S. agents, will help prosecution: sources
CARACAS/BOGOTA (Reuters) - U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency agents on Friday remanded in custody retired Venezuelan general Cliver Alcala, three people familiar with the matter said, after he agreed to work with prosecutors who charged him, President Nicolas Maduro and other top officials with drug trafficking.
Alcala surrendered to DEA agents in Colombia and waived his right to challenge extradition, the three people told Reuters. He was flown to White Plains, New York from the port city of Barranquilla, where he had been living.
The White House and a DEA spokeswoman referred questions to the U.S. Department of Justice, which declined to comment. The State Department did not reply to a request for comment. Colombia's National Police declined to comment.
The U.S. government on Thursday indicted Maduro, Alcala and 13 other current and former Venezuelan officials on charges of "narco-terrorism", the latest escalation of a pressure campaign by U.S. President Donald Trump administration to oust the socialist leader.
Attorney General William Barr accused Maduro and his associates of colluding with a dissident faction of the demobilized Colombian guerrilla group, the FARC, "to flood the United States with cocaine."
Maduro, in a state television address, dismissed the charges as false and racist, and called Trump a "miserable person."
The U.S. State Department had offered a reward of up to $10 million for information leading to Alcala's arrest, while there is a reward of up to $15 million for information aiding Maduro's detention.
The indictment alleged that Alcala and other top officials received bribes from the FARC in exchange for safe passage for cocaine shipments sent through Venezuela.

Maduro calls Trump a 'racist cowboy' in rebuke of US indictment for narcoterrorism
Venezuelan socialist leader Nicolas Maduro slammed the United States and President Trump after the Justice Department charged him with narcoterrorism. The Justice Department announced on Thursday that Maduro and his co-conspirators were indicted for their alleged role in facilitating the global drug trade through Maduro's own drug ring, dubbed the Cartel of the Sun. Maduro was also accused of allowing the Colombia-based terrorist group known as the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, FARC, to operate freely in Venezuela's border region with Colombia.
Maduro responded to the indictment by accusing the U.S. and Colombia of "giving orders to flood Venezuela with violence." He also called Trump a "racist cowboy and warned that he's ready to fight should the U.S. invade Venezuela, according to the Associated Press. Attorney General William Barr said on Thursday that he expected the U.S. to "eventually" get Maduro into custody along with his co-conspirators. "We want these defendants captured so they can face justice in U.S. courts," he said. Barr said the Maduro regime allows FARC to use its airspace to fly the cocaine north to destinations in the United States and elsewhere in North America. In announcing the unsealing of indictments in federal court in South Florida and New York, the Justice Department said "we estimate that somewhere between 200 and 250 metric tons of cocaine are shipped out of Venezuela by these routes" and "those 250 metric tons equates to 30 million lethal doses." The U.S. and nearly 60 countries worldwide recognize Juan Guaido, the president of Venezuela's opposition-controlled National Assembly, as the legitimate leader of the country, not Maduro.

July 25, 2019
Federal Government To Resume Capital Punishment after Nearly 2 Decade Lapse
The Federal Execution Protocol Addendum, which closely mirrors protocols utilized by several states, including currently Georgia, Missouri, and Texas, replaces the three-drug procedure previously used in Federal executions with a single drug- Pentobarbital.
Since 2010, 14 states have used Pentobarbital in over 200 executions, and Federal courts, including the Supreme Court, have repeatedly upheld the use of Pentobarbital in executions as consistent with the Eighth Amendment.Upon Attorney General Barr's direction, Acting Director Hurwitz adopted the Addendum to the Federal Execution Protocol and, in accordance with 28 C.F.R. Part 26.

PENTOBARBITAL: Pentobarbital, also known as pentobarbitone, is a short-acting barbiturate. In high doses, pentobarbital causes death by respiratory arrest. In the United States, the drug has been used for executions of convicted criminals.
On July 25, 2019, US Attorney General William Barr directed the Federal government to resume capital punishment after 16 years.
Pentobarbitol's old name was Nembutal, known on the streets as "Yellow Jackets" due to yellow capsule.

Barr says John Durham's Russia
investigation persists during coronavirus
outbreak
For those wondering if U.S. Attorney John Durham's secretive review of the origins and conduct of the Trump-Russia investigation will be delayed by the growing coronavirus outbreak in the United States, a new report offered a clue.
Attorney General William Barr told the Wall Street Journal in an interview published Monday that Durham, the top federal prosecutor in Connecticut, was in Washington, D.C., last week working on the high-profile inquiry with staffers.
"There's some discombobulation, but part of what we're trying to do is keep up the mission," Barr said of the Justice Department's commitment to proceed with criminal investigations, prioritize coronavirus-related fraud prosecutions, keep the justice system functioning amid court closures and trial suspensions, and pursue other Trump administration priorities during a deadly outbreak.
Last week, Fox News reported that Durham was on pace to finish his "investigation of the investigators" by the summer. One source "suggested the investigation could end as soon as July." But another "said it could be closer to September, based on Durham's progress, which could be hindered by the coronavirus pandemic rocking the nation and the globe."
Rep. Jim Jordan, an Ohio Republican, also said this month that Durham's inquiry is "due to be completed sometime this summer."
Durham was appointed last year by Barr to review possible misconduct by federal law enforcement and intelligence officials in the Russia investigation. The review upgraded into a criminal investigation in the fall, allowing Durham the power to impanel a grand jury and hand down indictments. Democrats have criticized the review as a politically motivated scheme to undermine the work of former special counsel Robert Mueller and attack President Trump's perceived enemies.
Trump gave Barr "full and complete authority to declassify information" last year. Durham was assigned to review possible misconduct by federal law enforcement and intelligence officials during the counterintelligence investigation into Trump's 2016 campaign by Barr.
DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz conducted an investigation into allegations of Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act abuses. His report, released in December, identified at least 17 " significant errors or omissions" in the Justice Department's and the FBI's use of British ex-spy Christopher Steele's dossier when pursuing FISA warrants to wiretap Trump campaign associate Carter Page in 2016 and 2017.
Following the independent watchdog's FISA report, Barr said he told Durham to focus just as much on the FBI's actions after Trump's election in November 2016 as those before it, including the period of spring 2017, when Mueller was appointed.
Durham is reportedly reviewing former CIA Director John Brennan's analysis of Russian election interference, including scrutiny of his handling of a secret source said to be close to the Kremlin. Some of the U.S. attorney's scrutiny revolves around how the U.S. government eventually reached its January 2017 intelligence assessment on Russian election interference. Durham has already interviewed former National Security Agency Director Adm. Mike Rogers.
During the Wall Street Journal interview, Barr also said the Justice Department is continuing to look into whether Google was breaking antitrust laws by clamping down on its competitors. He said he hoped "decision time" would be early summer. Barr also said he was worried "things are getting out of control" with local liberal prosecutors releasing people from prison and declining charges as the COVID-19 outbreak spreads.
What is the timeline line for the Durham investigation to release its findings anyway?

Maduro Refutes US Accusations That Venezuelan Authorities Have Links to Drug Trafficking
Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro has refuted the US accusations that the government of the Bolivarian Republic has links to drug trafficking.
On Thursday, US Attorney General William Barr said the US was pressing criminal charges against Maduro for allegedly facilitating drug trafficking into the United States. Washington also unveiled money-laundering charges against Venezuela's Chief Supreme Court Justice Maikel Moreno.
"They have laid new false charges ... Venezuela has been at the forefront of the fight against illegal drug trafficking for 15 years," Maduro said in a televised address on late Thursday.
Earlier in the day, the US authorities offered a series of rewards for information on five top officials in the Venezuelan government, including $15 million for Maduro himself, based on the alleged "involvement in narco-terrorism".
In addition to Maduro, the other indicted officials include National Constituent Assembly President Diosdado Cabello Rondon, former director of Venezuela's military intelligence Gen. Hugo Carvajal Barrios, former Venezuelan Army general Cliver Alcala Cordones as well as Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia (FARC) members Luciano Marin Arango and Seuxis Hernandez Solarte.
The Justice Department said in a press release that each defendant is charged with four narco-terrorism and drug trafficking-related charges that carry sentences of a minimum of 50 years in prison and a maximum life sentence. Barr said the United States expects eventually to gain custody of the defendants.

Barr memo says some nonviolent inmates should serve time in home confinement rather than prison amid coronavirus
Attorney General William Barr instructed the Bureau of Prisons (BOP) to move nonviolent inmates who are at risk of contracting the coronavirus out of prison facilities and allow them to serve out their sentences in home confinement.
"Many inmates will be safer in BOP facilities where the population is controlled and there is ready access to doctors and medical care," Barr wrote in a two-page memo to BOP on Thursday. "But for some eligible inmates, home confinement might be more effective in protecting their health."
PICTURES: NEW YORK CITY SHUTS DOWN AS CORONAVIRUS CASES RISE
Barr directed the bureau to prioritize home confinement for prisoners in low- and minimum-security facilities who pose no safety threat to the community and have a low likelihood of recidivism.
Criminals who have committed violent crimes or sexual offenses are not eligible for home confinement.
The BOP medical director has been instructed to assess an inmate's risk factor in contracting COVID-19, including coronavirus exposures at the particular prison facility as well as the individual inmate's health history and age.
Inmates who are granted home confinement will have to be quarantined for 14-days before they are discharged from the prison in an effort to protect the public.
"We cannot take any risk of transferring inmates to home confinement that will contribute to the spread of COVID-19," Barr wrote.
Inmates at some of the most heavily populated prisons in the country – including Rikers Island in New York and California State Prison in California – tested positive for COVID-19 and the risk of spread throughout prison facilities is troublesome because of the close proximity of prisoners to each other and BOP staff.

US Offers Reward for Top Officials of Socialist Maduro Regime in Venezuela – Trump Admin May Drive the End of the Evil Regime
Trump Administration increases pressure against the Socialist regime in Venezuela.
President Trump promised to work out a solution to the crisis in Venezuela and he is keeping his word.
The people of Venezuela hope the US uses the latest news coming from Venezuela to finally remove they Socialist tyrant Nicolas Maduro.
On Thursday the US Attorney General William Barr along with the DEA and Prosecutors from the Justice Department filed charges against the Maduro regime.
The US Department of Justice accused the Maduro regime of narco-terrorism, drug trafficking, corruption and money laundering. The charges were made against Maduro, Diosdado Cabello and 12 members of the Venezuelan cartel.
The US is offering a generous reward of millions of US dollars for handing over to criminals making the announcement much more attractive.
According to RCN Radio in Venezuela, the Trump White House is preparing to designate Venezuela a state sponsor of terrorism in the coming days. One of the wanted men, Cliver Alcalá, claims that Juan Guaidó signed a contract to buy weapons for the movement against Maduro. Alcalá Cordonez says that he will turn himself in to the Colombian authorities.
The Venezuelan opposition led by Juan Guaido is not strong enough to weaken the dictator Maduro, because the tyrant still has the loyalty of the military who are involved in drug trafficking.
Despite the fact that Juan Guaido declared himself President in charge and was backed by dozens of countries around the world, including the United States, the military forces have kept Maduro in power.
Finally, the decisions of the US government in the coming days may drive the end of the socialist regime. The announcement today by the US DOJ accusing Venezuela of being a terrorist financier puts the Marxist regeime in the same company of only four other countries, North Korea, Iran, Sudan and Syria.
This is an important week for Venezuela.
And the coronavirus has also hit its shores.

Washington brings NARCO-TERRORISM charges against Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro
The US has indicted Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro on "narco-terrorism" charges. The play is a familiar one, as Panamanian leader Manuel Noriega was slapped with similar charges before a US invasion 30 years ago.
Maduro and 14 current and former Venezuelan government and military officials were indicted on Thursday by courts in Florida, New York and Washington DC. According to the Justice Department, Maduro and his cohorts conspired with Colombian guerillas to "flood" the US with cocaine, transporting the drug to American shores by air and sea.
"The Maduro regime is awash with corruption and criminality," Attorney General William Barr said at a press conference on Thursday. "This cabal lines their pockets with drug money, and this has to come to an end."
Barr did not provide any evidence of drug seizures, but claimed the US authorities have observed the trafficking operation at work in Central America.
The State Department offered the $15 million bounty for Maduro, along with rewards of up to $10 million each for information on five Venezuelan political and military leaders.
The indictments - filed against a sitting head of state - are a bold move. Yet Washington has spent more than a year attempting to remove Maduro from power. After Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaido declared himself 'interim president' last January, Washington was quick to recognize him as the Latin American country's legitimate leader. Rounds of sanctions against the Maduro government followed, and military action was at one point rumored.
Maduro, however, kept the loyalty of his police and military, and remains in power in Caracas.

Q Research General #10964: Winning/ Gameover/ NOT Edition
U.S. Attorney General William Barr argues against transgender athletes competing as girls
The U.S. Department of Justice is weighing in on the debate about transgender athletes competing as girls and women.
It does not think they should.
Attorney General William Barr signed a formal statement of interest on Wednesday addressing a federal civil rights lawsuit in Connecticut that seeks to block transgender athletes from competing as girls in interscholastic sports, the Associated Press reports.
Barr argued against the Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Conference policy allowing athletes to compete based on their gender identity.
The CIAC argued in a lawsuit filed in February that the policy complies with state law requiring students to be treated as the gender with which they identify. The organization also argues that its policy is compliant with Title IX, the federal law requiring equal rights for girls and women in educational settings and is frequently applied to athletics.
DOJ's stance
Barr argued that the CIAC's policy actually deprives women and girls of their Title IX protections.
"Under CIAC's interpretation of Title IX, however, schools may not account for the real physiological differences between men and women," a statement from Barr's DOJ reads, according to AP. "Instead, schools must have certain biological males - namely, those who publicly identify as female - compete against biological females.
"In so doing, CIAC deprives those women of the single-sex athletic competitions that are one of the marquee accomplishments of Title IX."

Department of Justice: Those who intentionally spread coronavirus could face charges under terrorism laws
People who intentionally spread the coronavirus could face charges under federal terrorism laws, according to a Department of Justice memo. Deputy Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen sent the memo to DOJ leaders, U.S. attorneys, and law enforcement agency chiefs on Tuesday, warning that investigators could find instances of "purposeful exposure and infection of others with COVID-19." "Because Coronavirus appears to meet the statutory definition of a 'biological agent' ... such acts potentially could implicate the Nation's terrorism-related statutes," Rosen wrote. "Threats or attempts to use COVID-19 as a weapon against Americans will not be tolerated."
Politico obtained the memo and reported that it's unclear if such instances have been yet found by investigators, but a New Jersey man was charged with making terroristic threats after he coughed on a grocery store employee and claimed to have the coronavirus. The Justice Department also noted it established a task force to investigate the price gouging of supplies needed during the coronavirus pandemic. President Trump signed an executive order to prevent price gouging and the hoarding of medical supplies on Monday. "Once specific materials are so designated, persons are prohibited from accumulating those items in excess of reasonable personal or business needs or for the purpose of selling them in excess of prevailing market prices,"' Attorney General William Barr said, following the executive order. "It is a crime to engage in prohibited activity," he said.

Chinese Propaganda Video Cites CNN, Democratic Politicians to Push Regime Narrative
Regime outlet cites CNN, NBC, Hillary Clinton to deny Chinese responsibility for outbreak
https://freebeacon.com/media/chinese-propaganda-video-cites-cnn-democratic-politicians-to-push-regime-narrative/?
China's state-run propaganda outlets are using coronavirus coverage by U.S. media and Democratic politicians to push the regime narrative that the Chinese government bears no responsibility for the ongoing pandemic and that sourcing the origin of the virus to Wuhan is politically motivated.
A video posted Monday by the Global Times, a tabloid run by the Communist Party of China, uses footage of numerous American media outlets and Democratic politicians to portray criticism of China's handling of the coronavirus as racist. In addition to citing CNN's Chris Cuomo and NBC's Richard Engel, the video highlights tweets from two-time failed Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and New York City mayor Bill de Blasio parroting regime talking points.
"It is easy to scapegoat people, and that is what has always happened when there have been pandemics or epidemics," Engel says in the clip featured in the video. "This is a virus that came from the territory of China but came from bats. This is a bat virus, not a China virus."
In another video posted Sunday, Global Times editor in chief Hu Xijin highlights a CNN opinion piece by Chris Cillizza that argues President Donald Trump is "weaponizing bigotry" to shift blame away from his administration. After questioning the virus's point of origin in Wuhan, Xijin cites Cillizza's piece as evidence that Trump is using China as a political "scapegoat for his government's slow response."
"Reelection concerns are driving the Trump administration's intense attack on China as a ploy to divert public anger over the federal government's poor controls," Xijin says in a video pinned to the top of the outlet's Twitter account, which has more than 1.6 million followers. "They've indeed been quite incompetent. Perhaps they can't face their public without blaming China."
Neither CNN nor NBC responded to requests for comment.
The videos are part of a larger Chinese effort to deflect responsibility for the pandemic, which has spread across the globe since China covered up the December outbreak in Wuhan. Chinese diplomats have worked simultaneously to shift blame away from the communist state. China's embassy in France pointed on Monday to a Daily Beast report on the Trump administration's efforts to ensure China's role in the worldwide crisis is known, labeling them "naughty tactics."
"The United States relies on lies and racism instead of science and effective measures to curb #COVID19," the embassy wrote in a French-language tweet. "Take a look at @thedailybeast on the White House's naughty tactics to divert criticism from #TrumpPandemic."
A spokeswoman for the State Department scoffed at the propaganda outlets' efforts to deflect blame.
"The Chinese Communist Party was the first to know about the outbreak, which conferred a special responsibility to inform Chinese citizens and the world about it," spokeswoman Morgan Ortagus said. "Instead, the Party covered-up the news and delayed their initial response, as authoritarian governments often do."
One study found that coronavirus cases could have been reduced by 95 percent if China did not initially try to cover up the outbreak. The State Department is now calling on the regime "to be fully transparent" as the pandemic kills thousands of people across the world.
"We call on the CCP to be fully transparent about the outbreak now to help us save lives, and to prevent deaths when China produces the next possible global pandemic," Ortagus said. "The CCP should have learned after SARS in 2003 that a free media environment is necessary to prevent cover-ups and subsequent emBarrassment."
China for decades has spent at least tens of millions of dollars publishing propaganda designed to look like legitimate news stories in U.S. newspapers, like the New York Times and Washington Post. The communist country committed $6.6 billion to a foreign propaganda initiative in 2009, spending $35 million on one state-run outlet, China Daily, since 2017. Rep. Jim Banks (R., Ind.) warned of the propaganda effort in a letter to Attorney General William Barr following a Washington Free Beacon exposé of China Daily's repeated breaches of federal law.
"China Daily is a disgusting propaganda rag that's used by the Chinese Communist Party to cover for the regime's ongoing atrocities," Banks said. "If there's one lesson from the Cold War, it's that our victory was only possible because we convinced the world that democracy was superior to communist authoritarianism. Well, it looks like we have to fight that battle again-this time against a far wealthier and equally determined adversary."

While the rest of the country implements increasingly extreme measures to combat the coronavirus crisis, the U.S. criminal justice system just keeps humming along as if nothing has changed.
As Rep. Jerry Nadler wrote in a recent letter to U.S. Attorney General William Barr, "In spite of the recent national emergency declaration and the fact that state and local prosecutorial agencies and courts across the country have made adjustments to their charging policies and are releasing prisoners who are at high risk of getting sick, it appears that it is 'business as usual' in many U.S. Attorney's offices.

Barr says John Durham's Russia investigation persists during coronavirus outbreak
For those wondering if U.S. Attorney John Durham's secretive review of the origins and conduct of the Trump-Russia investigation will be delayed by the growing coronavirus outbreak in the United States, a new report offered a clue. Attorney General William Barr told the Wall Street Journal in an interview published Monday that Durham, the top federal prosecutor in Connecticut, was in Washington, D.C., last week working on the high-profile inquiry with staffers. "There's some discombobulation, but part of what we're trying to do is keep up the mission," Barr said of the Justice Department's commitment to proceed with criminal investigations, prioritize coronavirus-related fraud prosecutions, keep the justice system functioning amid court closures and trial suspensions, and pursue other Trump administration priorities during a deadly outbreak.
Last week, Fox News reported that Durham was on pace to finish his "investigation of the investigators" by the summer. One source "suggested the investigation could end as soon as July." But another "said it could be closer to September, based on Durham's progress, which could be hindered by the coronavirus pandemic rocking the nation and the globe." Rep. Jim Jordan, an Ohio Republican, also said this month that Durham's inquiry is "due to be completed sometime this summer."
Durham was appointed last year by Barr to review possible misconduct by federal law enforcement and intelligence officials in the Russia investigation. The review upgraded into a criminal investigation in the fall, allowing Durham the power to impanel a grand jury and hand down indictments. Democrats have criticized the review as a politically motivated scheme to undermine the work of former special counsel Robert Mueller and attack President Trump's perceived enemies. Trump gave Barr "full and complete authority to declassify information" last year. Durham was assigned to review possible misconduct by federal law enforcement and intelligence officials during the counterintelligence investigation into Trump's 2016 campaign by Barr.
DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz conducted an investigation into allegations of Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act abuses. His report, released in December, identified at least 17 " significant errors or omissions" in the Justice Department's and the FBI's use of British ex-spy Christopher Steele's dossier when pursuing FISA warrants to wiretap Trump campaign associate Carter Page in 2016 and 2017. Following the independent watchdog's FISA report, Barr said he told Durham to focus just as much on the FBI's actions after Trump's election in November 2016 as those before it, including the period of spring 2017, when Mueller was appointed.
Durham is reportedly reviewing former CIA Director John Brennan's analysis of Russian election interference, including scrutiny of his handling of a secret source said to be close to the Kremlin. Some of the U.S. attorney's scrutiny revolves around how the U.S. government eventually reached its January 2017 intelligence assessment on Russian election interference. Durham has already interviewed former National Security Agency Director Adm. Mike Rogers. During the Wall Street Journal interview, Barr also said the Justice Department is continuing to look into whether Google was breaking antitrust laws by clamping down on its competitors. He said he hoped "decision time" would be early summer. Barr also said he was worried "things are getting out of control" with local liberal prosecutors releasing people from prison and declining charges as the COVID-19 outbreak spreads.

Method of Execution for Federal Treason is Injection of PENTOBARBITAL
July 25, 2019
Federal Government To Resume Capital Punishment after Nearly 2 Decade Lapse
The Federal Execution Protocol Addendum, which closely mirrors protocols utilized by several states, including currently Georgia, Missouri, and Texas, replaces the three-drug procedure previously used in Federal executions with a single drug-Pentobarbital.
Since 2010, 14 states have used Pentobarbital in over 200 executions, and Federal courts, including the Supreme Court, have repeatedly upheld the use of Pentobarbital in executions as consistent with the Eighth Amendment.Upon Attorney General Barr's direction, Acting Director Hurwitz adopted the Addendum to the Federal Execution Protocol and, in accordance with 28 C.F.R. Part 26.

PENTOBARBITAL:Pentobarbital, also known as pentobarbitone, is a short-acting barbiturate. In high doses, pentobarbital causes death by respiratory arrest. In the United States, the drug has been used for executions of convicted criminals.
On July 25, 2019, US Attorney General William Barr directed the Federal government to resume capital punishment after 16 years.
Pentobarbitol's old name was Nembutal, known on the streets as "Yellow Jackets" due to yellow capsule.

Justice Department Seeks Power to Suspend Habeas Corpus, Indefinitely Detain Americans
The Department of Justice has secretly requested that Congress suspend habeas corpus and to allow "indefinite detention" of citizens without trial until the end of the Coronavirus panic, several news agencies are reporting today.
Politico reports:
Documents reviewed by POLITICO detail the department's requests to lawmakers on a host of topics, including the statute of limitations, asylum and the way court hearings are conducted. POLITICO also reviewed and previously reported on documents seeking the authority to extend deadlines on merger reviews and prosecutions.
More precisely, Attorney General William Barr seeks the authority to empower federal judges throughout the country to provisionally deny constitutionally protected civil and individual rights to people within their jurisdictions. This power would, per Politico, "span several stages of the legal process, from initial arrest to how cases are processed and investigated."
Barr's quest for supremacy of his opinion over the rights guaranteed by the Constitution doesn't stop there, though. Again, per the story broken by Politico's Betsy Woodruff Swan:
The proposal would also grant those top judges broad authority to pause court proceedings during emergencies. It would apply to "any statutes or rules of procedure otherwise affecting pre-arrest, post-arrest, pre-trial, trial, and post-trial procedures in criminal and juvenile proceedings and all civil process and proceedings," according to draft legislative language the department shared with Congress. In making the case for the change, the DOJ document wrote that individual judges can currently pause proceedings during emergencies, but that their proposal would make sure all judges in any particular district could handle emergencies "in a consistent manner."

As the coronavirus epidemic monopolizes the attention of the American people, government is taking the opportunity to sneak through all manner of restrictive legislation, including a law that could end the internet as we know it.
Killing the internet... to save the children?
The ominously-named EARN IT Act (short for "Eliminating Abusive and Rampant Neglect of Interactive Technologies Act") that quietly debuted in the Senate earlier this month is a carefully crafted weapon for crushing encryption without explicitly banning, industry professionals have warned. While this particular bill purports to be all about ending child sexual exploitation, the industry is concerned it will make their business model unsustainable - while doing nothing to protect children. So are independent media producers, who fear their speech would be declared anathema. It would in practice strip section 230 legal immunity - protection from liability for third party content - from any website that failed to comply with a set of "best practices" imposed on a supposedly voluntary basis by a 19-member "commission" run by Attorney General William Barr.

Russian businessman seeks criminal proceedings against Obama over unlawful prosecution
Yevgeny Prigozhin demands either to continue the trial or remove charges from his company due to lack of guilt and corpus delicti
MOSCOW, March 19. /TASS/. Russian businessman Yevgeny Prigozhin demanded that criminal proceedings be initiated against former US President Barack Obama, as well as a number of US congressmen, senators and officials because of the illegal prosecution of his Concord company and him personally.
The businessman's letter to US Attorney General William Barr was published by the Concord Press Service on Thursday.
"By this letter, I demand that a criminal case be initiated against a group of individuals, including former US President Barack Obama, senior officials from the US Department of Justice, members of the US Congress and Senate, who, by entering into collision, taking illegal actions, falsifying documents and evidence managed to institute "the United States against Concord" criminal proceedings to defame Concord, me personally, and the Russian Federation," Prigozhin said in a letter.
In another letter addressed to Barr, the businessman demands that the case against Concord, which was terminated on Wednesday, be returned to the court.
According to him, the trial was terminated at the request of the prosecutor's office because the prosecution fears "to present false evidence in open jury, on the basis of which a criminal case against Concord was framed and considered for more than two years."
Prigozhin demands either to continue the trial or remove charges from his company due to lack of guilt and corpus delicti.
Earlier the the businessman said that he was preparing a $50 billion lawsuit against the US authorities.
In February 2018, the U.S. Department of Justice indicted 13 Russian citizens and three law firms for interfering in the 2016 US presidential election. According to the prosecution, Prigozhin's companies funded the St. Petersburg Internet Research Agency, which tried to support Donald Trump. On March 16, 2020, the Washington federal court upheld the prosecutor's motion to terminate the process. Russian authorities have repeatedly rejected allegations of attempts to influence the course of US elections.

William Barr's Connection to Ruby Ridge, Defending FBI Snipers
"The Senate Judiciary Committee hearings for Attorney General nominee William Barr have focused heavily on Barr's views on Special Counsel Robert Mueller. But nobody is asking about Barr's legal crusade for blanket immunity for federal agents who killed American citizens.
Barr received a routine questionnaire from the Judiciary Committee asking him to disclose his past work including pro bono activities "serving the disadvantaged." The "disadvantaged" that Barr spent the most time helping was an FBI agent who slayed an Idaho mother holding her baby in 1992. Barr spent two weeks organizing former Attorneys General and others to support "an FBI sniper in defending against criminal charges in connection with the Ruby Ridge incident." Barr also "assisted in framing legal arguments advanced... in the district court and the subsequent appeal to the Ninth Circuit," he told the committee.
That charitable work (for an FBI agent who already had a federally-paid law firm defending him) helped tamp down one of the biggest scandals during Barr's time as Attorney General from 1991 to early 1993. Barr was responsible for both the U.S. Marshals Service and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, two federal agencies whose misconduct at Ruby Ridge "helped to weaken the bond of trust that must exist between ordinary Americans and our law enforcement agencies," according to a 1995 Senate Judiciary Committee report."

'Measure your Coffin day': John Durham charges man with threatening to kill Adam Schiff
U.S. Attorney John Durham announced Monday that he charged a man with threatening to kill House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff. Durham, the U.S. attorney for Connecticut who is leading the Justice Department's review of the Russia investigators, sent out a press release noting he charged Robert Phelps of Torrington, Connecticut, "with threatening to assault and murder a U.S. official, which carries a maximum term of imprisonment of 10 years, and with making interstate threats, which carries a maximum term of imprisonment of five years."
Phelps, 62, was arrested on March 13 after allegedly sending Schiff a vulgar and violent email on Nov. 12 telling the Democrat, "I want to kill you" and "smash your ... face in," according to court documents and statements made in court. Investigators interviewed Phelps at his Torrington residence and allegedly confirmed that Phelps sent the threatening communication. After appearing before U.S. Magistrate Judge William Garfinkel in Bridgeport, Phelps was released on a $25,000 bond.
The alleged threatening actions taken by Phelps, undertaken in the middle of Schiff-guided impeachment proceedings against President Trump, were detailed in a newly unsealed six-page affidavit by FBI special agent Daniel Heether. The complaint said Phelps sent Schiff's office a "threatening communication" through his schedule-a-meeting website in November. "You little c—sucker I want to come and see you so I can spit in your face and I want to kill you with my bare hands and smash your sick little round fat lying face in," the message said. "You had better hope I never meet up with you mother f—er." The message was signed by "Robert M. Phelps Republican." The email included Phelps's full name, address, phone number, and email. For his organization, he listed "Lyingc—suckerclub.shittyshiffy" and for the names of additional participants he listed "NANCY PIGLOSI DUMOCRATIC RETARDS." For the preferred day of the week for the meeting, the message stated: "Measure your Coffin day."
Investigators interviewed Phelps at his home in earlier December, and he "admitted to sending the email to Congressman Schiff but did not see the message as threatening," according to the complaint. Phelps allegedly said he had a right to contact members of Congress and defend "his president." When investigators had him review the message, Phelps said he was a Republican and repeated that he needed to protect "his president." The complaint stated, "Phelps asked investigators if they were in his home because of Senator Blumenthal and that the Democrats that are involved in the impeachment proceedings against the president should be arrested." The affidavit also notes that "Phelps stated that he would not send any more threatening emails."
Schiff helped lead the Democratic Ukraine-related impeachment effort against Trump last year, resulting in Trump's impeachment by the House for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress in mid-December 2019 and his acquittal by the Senate in early February. Durham, who was selected by Attorney General William Barr to be his right-hand man in the effort to investigate the origins of the FBI's Russia-related investigation of Trump's campaign, is expected to complete his inquiry by the end of the summer.

BILL Barr NEEDS TO ANSWER FOR HIS ROLE IN RUBY RIDGE
The Daily Caller Published: 26 January 2019
By Mike Hammond, legislative counsel for Gun Owners of America.
The Second Amendment community has tried very hard to get members of the Judiciary Committee to persuade attorney general nominee William Barr to renounce his long-standing support for gun control. Opposing his nomination is not a position we relish. But if members of the Senate choose to ignore his record on guns, they should not ignore his role in the Ruby Ridge scandal.
Consider these facts:
Barr was in charge of the Justice Department during Ruby Ridge, and he knew what was going on.
Barr stated, under oath, that his chief gun priority would be the Ruby Ridge-like gun confiscation orders (sugar-coated as "red flag laws").
You may remember that Barr's federal agents descended on Randy Weaver's Idaho compound in August, 1992, and (1) shot weaver in the back; (2) shot Weaver's wife Vicki to death, while she was holding her infant son; (3) shot Weaver's 14 year-old son to death; and (4) shot Weaver's dog.
Courts subsequently largely exonerated Weaver, while excoriating the FBI and the Department of Justice. And, although then-Attorney General William Barr claimed to know nothing about the Ruby Ridge fiasco, a 1995 Washington Post article reported that there were 20 high-level DOJ calls about Weaver in the 24 hours preceding the murder of his wife - and two of them directly involved Barr.
After that, Barr spent huge amounts of pro bono time trying to get exoneration for the FBI sniper who shot Vicki Weaver to death. He pushed for immunity from prosecution, organized letters on his behalf, and framed arguments before the trial and appeals courts.
But long before Ruby Ridge, Barr's hatred for the Second Amendment was clear.
Testifying before the Senate Judiciary Committee in 1991, Barr pushed the gun control "grand bargain" which, two years later under Clinton, was to become the biggest blow to the Second Amendment since the passage of the 1968 Gun Control Act.
….
In addition to endorsing the Brady Bill and the semi-auto ban, Barr went on to support the magazine ban by saying: "I would prefer a limitation on the clip [sic] size."
….
So has Barr changed his tune in 2019?
Sadly, Barr, under oath, committed that his chief gun objective would be the most insidious aspect of the Bloomberg agenda: gun confiscation orders.
Said Barr: "I also think we need to push along the ERPO's [Gun Confiscation Orders], so we have red flag laws to supplement the use of the background check...This is the single most important think I think we can do in the gun control area to stop these massacres from happening in the first place."
If anyone doesn't know what Bloomberg's gun confiscation orders involve, police or an angry "ex" can go to a "secret court" [ex parte proceeding] to obtain an order to strip a gun owner of his Second, Fourth, Fifth, and Fourteenth Amendment rights.
After a judge rubber-stamps the order, the police arrive at your door in the middle of the night to ransack your house and, if you resist, to arrest or kill you (and your dog) - just like Barr did at Ruby Ridge.
Don't think this could happen?
Consider the case of Gary Willis, a "gentle" 60 year-old man in Ferndale, Maryland, who was the subject of a gun confiscation order by a vengeful relative who didn't like his politics. When Willis went to the door at 5:17 a.m. holding a gun, a scuffle ensued and Willis was shot to death. Summarily executed for the crime of being a "conservative gun owner."
….
How many gun owners will die so that "the butcher of Ruby Ridge" can be confirmed attorney general?
So, for those who care about the Second Amendment: William Barr is bad on guns. Very bad. Worse-than-Loretta-Lynch bad.
For those who think the Second Amendment doesn't matter, well, enjoy the swamp.

FISA goes both ways
"Why was Barr chosen, given his shocking and deeply criminal cover-up kingpin background?
For a presidential administration whose mandate was the eradication of corruption, the "draining of the swamp", and the restoration of law?
With the nomination of William Barr for attorney general, that is what President Donald Trump wants American citizens and the world to accept.
Fawning mainstream media coverage, and streams of puff pieces laud Barr as a "respected" establishment "legal scholar", as do Donald Trump's Twitter posts about Barr.
The fact is, there is nothing to "respect" and everything to condemn about Barr's work as a key inner circle operative throughout George Herbert Walker Bush's rise to power, from CIA Director to Vice President to President. These aspects of Barr's resume remain whitewashed by mainstream coverage. They have been amply documented by whistleblowers and those who worked directly with Barr.
The issue at hand is not Barr's "legal mind", but the ruthless mind that he wielded with frightening authority and expertise as George H. W. Bush's treasonous hatchet man in the Justice Department. William Barr distorted and corrupted the law, as grossly as anyone in modern history.
Barr: CIA operative
It is a sobering fact that American presidents (many of whom have been corrupt) have gone out of their way to hire fixers to be their attorney generals.
Consider recent history: Loretta Lynch (2015-2017), Eric Holder (2009-2015), Michael Mukasey (2007-2009), Alberto Gonzales (2005-2007), John Ashcroft (2001-2005),Janet Reno (1993-2001), Dick Thornburgh (1988-1991), Ed Meese (1985-1988), etc.
Barr, however, is a particularly spectacular and sordid case. As George H.W. Bush's most notorious insider, and as the AG from 1991 to 1993, Barr wreaked havoc, flaunted the rule of law, and proved himself to be one of the CIA/Deep State's greatest and most ruthless champions and protectors:
Barr was a full-time CIA operative, recruited by Langley out of high school, starting in 1971. Barr's youth career goal was to head the CIA.
CIA operative assigned to the China directorate, where he became close to powerful CIA operative George H.W. Bush, whose accomplishments already included the CIA/Cuba Bay of Pigs, Asia CIA operations (Vietnam War, Golden Triangle narcotics), Nixon foreign policy (Henry Kissinger), and the Watergate operation.
When George H.W. Bush became CIA Director in 1976, Barr joined the CIA's "legal office" and Bush's inner circle, and worked alongside Bush's longtime CIA enforcers Theodore "Ted" Shackley, Felix Rodriguez, Thomas Clines, and others, several of whom were likely involved with the Bay of Pigs/John F. Kennedy assassination, and numerous southeast Asian operations, from the Phoenix Program to Golden Triangle narco-trafficking.
Barr stonewalled and destroyed the Church Committee investigations into CIA abuses.
Barr stonewalled and stopped inquiries in the CIA bombing assassination of Chilean opposition leader Orlando Letelier.
Barr joined George H.W. Bush's legal/intelligence team during Bush's vice presidency (under President Ronald Reagan) Rose from assistant attorney general to Chief Legal Counsel to attorney general (1991) during the Bush 41 presidency.
Barr was a key player in the Iran-Contra operation, if not the most important member of the apparatus, simultaneously managing the operation while also "fixing" the legal end, ensuring that all of the operatives could do their jobs without fear of exposure or arrest.
In his attorney general confirmation, Barr vowed to "attack criminal organizations", drug smugglers and money launderers. It was all hot air: as AG, Barr would preserve, protect, cover up, and nurture the apparatus that he helped create, and use Justice Department power to escape punishment.
Barr stonewalled and stopped investigations into all Bush/Clinton and CIA crimes, including BCCI and BNL CIA drug banking, the theft of Inslaw/PROMIS software, and all crimes of state committed by Bush.
Barr provided legal cover for Bush's illegal foreign policy and war crimes.
Barr left Washington, and went through the "rotating door" to the corporate world, where he took on numerous directorships and counsel positions for major companies. In 2007 and again from 2017, Barr was counsel for politically-connected international law firm Kirkland & Ellis. Among its other notable attorneys and alumni are Kenneth Starr, John Bolton, Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, and numerous Trump administration attorneys. K&E's clients include sex trafficker/pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, and Mitt Romney's Bain Capital.
A strong case can be made that William Barr was as powerful and important a figure in the Bush apparatus as any other, besides Poppy Bush himself."

William Barr's Connection To Ruby Ridge, Defending FBI Snipers
JANUARY 16, 2019
~ James Bovard
"The Senate Judiciary Committee hearings for Attorney General nominee William Barr have focused heavily on Barr's views on Special Counsel Robert Mueller. But nobody is asking about Barr's legal crusade for blanket immunity for federal agents who killed American citizens.
Barr received a routine questionnaire from the Judiciary Committee asking him to disclose his past work including pro bono activities "serving the disadvantaged." The "disadvantaged" that Barr spent the most time helping was an FBI agent who slayed an Idaho mother holding her baby in 1992. Barr spent two weeks organizing former Attorneys General and others to support "an FBI sniper in defending against criminal charges in connection with the Ruby Ridge incident." Barr also "assisted in framing legal arguments advanced... in the district court and the subsequent appeal to the Ninth Circuit," he told the committee.
That charitable work (for an FBI agent who already had a federally-paid law firm defending him) helped tamp down one of the biggest scandals during Barr's time as Attorney General from 1991 to early 1993. Barr was responsible for both the U.S. Marshals Service and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, two federal agencies whose misconduct at Ruby Ridge "helped to weaken the bond of trust that must exist between ordinary Americans and our law enforcement agencies," according to a 1995 Senate Judiciary Committee report.
After Randy Weaver, an outspoken white separatist living on a mountaintop in northern Idaho, was entrapped by an undercover federal agent, U.S. marshals trespassed on Weaver's land and killed his 14-year-old son, Sammy. The following day, FBI sniper Lon Horiuchi killed his wife, Vicki, as she was standing in the cabin doorway. Horiuchi had previously shot Randy Weaver in the back after he stepped out of the cabin. The suspects were never given a warning or a chance to surrender and had taken no action against FBI agents. Weaver survived.
… A Justice Department internal investigation compiled a 542-page report detailing federal misconduct and coverups in the case and suggested criminal charges against FBI officials involved in Ruby Ridge.
Barr told the New York Times in 1993 that he was not directly involved in the Ruby Ridge operation. Two years later, the Washington Post revealed that "top officials of the Bush Justice Department had at least 20 [phone] contacts concerning Ruby Ridge in the 24 hours before Vicki Weaver was shot," including two calls involving Barr.
…..
The Justice Department paid $3 million to settle a wrongful death lawsuit from the Weaver family. But when Boundary County, Idaho filed criminal charges against Horiuchi, Barr sprang to action seeking immunity for FBI snipers. He spearheaded efforts to sway the court to dismiss all charges because holding a sniper liable would "severely undermine, if not cripple, the ability of future attorneys general to rely on such specialized units in moments of crisis such as hostage taking and terrorist acts."
……
Does William Barr still endorse "wartime rules" and a "007 standard" that absolve federal agents for questionable shootings of Americans? Does Barr consider "illegal government killings" to be an oxymoron? Best of all, can Barr explain to us his understanding of the phrase "government under the law"?"
https://www.theamericanconservative.com/articles/William-Barrs-connection-to-ruby-ridge-defending-fbi-snipers/
Bill Barr is literally the defense attorney for the deep state.
Who is still stupid enough to believe that Billy Bagpipes is going to mete out justice to his friends?

Trump Opposed House Bill, Leaving FISA to Lapse Sunday; McConnell Expected to Try Again Next Week
WASHINGTON-An effort late Thursday by Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) to extend Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) authority for 45 days to allow time for further negotiations on reforms was blocked by Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Richard Burr (R-N.C.).
Lee, who with Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) opposed a House-passed FISA extension, asked for unanimous consent to the additional time to offer amendments to a House-passed FISA re-authorization. The amendments would be to protect individual Americans' civil liberties.
"All I ask is to give us a few weeks. Let's take 45 days. Give the Senate a chance to deal with the immediate crises associated with the coronavirus and then a chance for us, in a timely fashion, to review the [House] bill and consider our own amendments to it, bipartisan amendments from people who have reached across the aisle in an effort to make this bill better," Lee explained on the Senate floor.
CORONAVIRUS SPECIAL COVERAGE
But Burr would have none of it, declaring in response to Lee that "I am not going to have a 45- day extension. I will let us go dark. I will let us go dark, and if there is a need, the President, by executive order, can do it for whatever period people think they are willing to let it expire."
Burr said no extension was needed because the Senate will debate "every one of the amendments of Senator Lee and the list of people he gave, and I think that they will be struck down."
The North Carolina Republican was referring to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's plan to bring the Senate back into session Monday to consider the House bill, known officially as "The USA Freedom Act of 2020."
The House measure is supported by Attorney General William Barr and House Judiciary Committee Ranking Minority Member Jim Jordan (R-Ohio).
But Lee, Paul, multiple House Republicans and Tom Fitton, president of the non-profit government watchdog Judicial Watch, say the House bill ignores reforms needed to end abuses like those detailed by Department of Justice Inspector Michael Horowitz.
Lee told colleagues late Thursday that President Donald Trump told him he opposed the House bill, which raised the specter of a presidential veto if the Senate approved the measure without further amendments.
Paul issued a statement after the Lee-Burr floor confrontation, declaring that, "As President Trump has repeatedly stated, we should not reauthorize these expiring surveillance powers without real reform. After all we have learned about how government has abused its authority, including spying on President Trump's 2016 campaign, neither a clean extension, nor the window dressing offered by the U.S.

Australia has more than 120 cases of COVID-19. Among them: The actor Tom Hanks and his wife, Rita Wilson. The Hollywood couple confirmed on Wednesday that they are in isolation in the country after testing positive for the disease. "We are taking it one-day-at-a-time," Hanks said in a tweet. He posted a picture of them on Thursday night.
Earlier, Brazil confirmed that a senior adviser to President Jair Bolsonaro who tested positive for the coronavirus was among a group of officials who met with President Donald Trump on March 7. Fabio Wajngarten is Bolsonaro's communications secretary.

It is not immediately clear where in Washington the photo was taken or if Dutton visited the White House. A growing number of lawmakers are in self-quarantine as a result of having had contact with someone who has been diagnosed with the virus.
It emerged late Thursday that Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's wife, Sophie Grégoire Trudeau, has tested positive for coronavirus. Canada's leader is self-isolating.
More and more countries around the world have announced school and university closures, bans on large gatherings and shuttered sports and cultural events as the pandemic increasingly interrupts daily life.

European Union officials have also signaled they are preparing plans for coordinated action.
Asked Friday in an MSNBC television interview whether Ivanka Trump's contact with Dutton meant that the president should be tested for the virus, Anthony Fauci, the country's top expert on infectious disease, said: "I leave that to the president."

Australian Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton diagnosed with coronavirus
Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton has confirmed he has coronavirus.
The Federal Government frontbencher said he felt fine but woke up with a temperature and sore throat.
"I immediately contacted the Queensland Department of Health and was subsequently tested for COVID-19," Mr Dutton said in a statement.
"I was advised by Queensland Health this afternoon that the test had returned positive.
"It is the policy of Queensland Health that anyone who tests positive is to be admitted into hospital and I have complied with their advice.
"I feel fine and will provide an update in due course."
Mr Dutton was in Sydney for a Cabinet meeting on Tuesday and returned to Brisbane on a commercial flight on the same day.
He participated in Cabinet's national security committee meeting on Thursday via phone, during which the Government decided to extend its China, Italy, Iran and South Korean travel bans.
When someone contracts COVID-19, health officials alert people who have been in contact with them.
They are then expected to self-isolate at home and monitor their health for 14 days after the contact with the infected person.
The ABC has contacted Prime Minister Scott Morrison's office to see if he, and the Cabinet, will have to isolate themselves.
Earlier on Friday, Mr Morrison met with state and territory leaders to assess Australia's response to the spread of coronavirus.
Mr Dutton missed his usual Friday morning appearance on commercial TV, at the time being described as having a "stomach bug".
On Monday, he opened a new Moreton Bay campus for the University of the Sunshine Coast, alongside Education Minister Dan Tehan and former defence chief Angus Houston.
Mr Dutton met with United States Attorney-General William Barr and US President Donald Trump's daughter Ivanka while in Washington DC last week.
It comes as Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau goes into 14-day isolation in the wake of his wife, Sophie Gregoire Trudeau, testing positive for coronavirus.

PornHub
WASHINGTON, D.C., March 10, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) -
Republican Sen. Ben Sasse of Nebraska called on the US Department of Justice Tuesday to launch a formal investigation of PornHub and its parent company MindGeek over the pornography giant's hosting of illegal videos that show a minor human-trafficking victim being raped.
As LifeSiteNews has covered, controversy erupted for PornHub with the discovery of 58 videos of a 15-year-old girl being raped. The girl has been identified as a victim of human trafficking. It has also been reported that she was forced to undergo an abortion by her captor.
"I applaud the actions that the Department has already undertaken under your leadership on this issue, but Pornhub must not escape scrutiny," Sasse wrote to US Attorney General William Barr. "I therefore request that the Department open an investigation into Pornhub and its parent entity MindGeek Holding SARL for their involvement in this disturbing pipeline of exploiting children and other victims and survivors of sex trafficking."
Sasse's letter notes that almost seven million videos were uploaded to PornHub in 2019, a year during which "every minute" saw "80,032 visits, 77,861 searches, and 219,985 video views."
Noting this latest story was not the first instance of a rape video being uploaded to PornHub, Sasse said the "problem of Pornhub streaming content featuring women and children victims of sex trafficking reached the point in November that Paypal cut off services for Pornhub, refusing to facilitate this abuse any longer."
"Sen. Ben Sasse has shown true leadership today in calling on DOJ to investigate Pornhub over its alleged complicity in sexual trafficking and abuse,"
American Principles Project executive director Terry Schilling responded to the news. "APP strongly commends the Senator for calling attention to this issue, and we urgently implore the Trump administration to take every step in its power to protect vulnerable women and children from this dangerous industry."
International Women's Day this weekend saw concerned protesters from across the political spectrum descend on MindGeek's Montreal office, chanting "Shut it down!" in unison.
LifeSiteNews is currently circulating a petition calling on Barr and his Canadian counterpart, Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada David Lametti, to not only investigate but shut down both PornHub and Mindgeek. The petition currently has more than 36,000 signatures.
"If Pornhub is allowed to get away with this now, then human traffickers will know that they can continue their evil deeds and no one will care," the petition warns. "Please SIGN and SHARE this petition, and join the chorus of people, from all sides of the political spectrum, calling on the porn hosting monster to be investigated by U.S. and Canadian authorities, and to be shut down."

Q Research General #10748: BRING ON THE NIGHTSHIFT - BIG SHOUT OUT TO THE USMC Edition
Rep. Jim Jordan, an Ohio Republican, told colleagues during a House Rules Committee meeting on Tuesday that the Durham review is expected to end sometime starting in June.
"His investigation is due to be completed sometime this summer," Jordan said.
He mentioned it after Rep. Michael Burgess, a Republican from Texas, asked whether "anybody is going to be accountable now," referring to the "significant errors or omissions" the Justice Department inspector general found in the Justice Department's and the FBI's use of British ex-spy Christopher Steele's dossier when pursuing Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrants to wiretap onetime Trump campaign adviser Carter Page.
Jordan, who is a member of the House Judiciary Committee, said that is exactly why Attorney General William Barr appointed Durham, the top federal prosecutor in Connecticut, to the task. The congressman also mentioned Kevin Clinesmith, a former FBI lawyer under criminal investigation by Durham after Inspector General Michael Horowitz found he altered a key document in FISA filings related to Page, a U.S. citizen who was suspected of being an agent of Russia but was never charged with wrongdoing.
"I gotta believe that individual at some point is going to be held accountable," Jordan said.
The meeting on Tuesday was focused on legislation to reform the FISA law while key authorities in it, including roving wiretap powers, the business records provision, and the "lone wolf" amendment, are set to expire on Sunday if not reauthorized.

Q Research General #10745: Future Proves Past Edition
Method of Execution for Federal Treason is Injection of PENTOBARBITAL
July 25, 2019Federal Government To Resume Capital Punishment after Nearly 2 Decade Lapse
The Federal Execution Protocol Addendum, which closely mirrors protocols utilized by several states, including currently Georgia, Missouri, and Texas, replaces the three-drug procedure previously used in Federal executions with a single drug-Pentobarbital.
Since 2010, 14 states have used Pentobarbital in over 200 executions, and Federal courts, including the Supreme Court, have repeatedly upheld the use of Pentobarbital in executions as consistent with the Eighth Amendment.
Upon Attorney General Barr's direction, Acting Director Hurwitz adopted the Addendum to the Federal Execution Protocol and, in accordance with 28 C.F.R. Part 26.

PENTOBARBITAL:Pentobarbital, also known as pentobarbitone, is a short-acting barbiturate. In high doses, pentobarbital causes death by respiratory arrest.
In the United States, the drug has been used for executions of convicted criminals.
On July 25, 2019, US Attorney General William Barr directed the Federal government to resume capital punishment after 16 years.
Pentobarbitol's old name was Nembutal, known on the streets as "Yellow Jackets" due to yellow capsule.

Q Research General #10742: The Higher They Fly, The Deeper Anons Dig !BOOM! Edition
House passes key surveillance bill with deadline looming
The House on Wednesday passed legislation to reauthorize a key intelligence surveillance bill after weeks of back-and-forth tussling between members in both parties.
The passage of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), 278-136, comes the day after the House struck a bipartisan deal on the legislation and just before the bill is set to expire on Sunday.
Negotiators had worked for weeks, as both liberal Democrats and libertarian-leaning Republicans pushed for additional privacy protections, putting them at odds with lawmakers who wanted a clean reauthorization of the FISA bill, which they believed would easily pass in the upper chamber.
Now the Senate will consider the bill, which extends three expiring provisions of the USA Freedom Act that touch on roving wiretaps, lone wolf surveillance and a controversial program that allows the U.S. government to request access to phone metadata.
The bill has the support of Attorney General William Barr, who encouraged members of both parties to vote yes on it on Wednesday.
"I have reviewed the House FISA bill and support its passage," Barr said in a statement. "The bill contains an array of new requirements and compliance provisions that will protect against abuse and misuse in the future while ensuring that this critical tool is available when appropriate to protect the safety of the American people."
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) and Rep. Jim Jordan (Ohio), the top Republican on the panel, touted the bill Tuesday as a major accomplishment.
"Since we first circulated the original draft of this bill, we have heard from a wide range of stakeholders from the most progressive members of the Democratic caucus to the staunchest supporters of President Trump and they have convinced us to make additional changes to the bill," Nadler said while presenting the bill before the House Rules Committee on Tuesday evening.
Both Nadler and Jordan described the amended bill as a step in the right direction, noting that there were more privacy protections they would like to make in the future.
"Contrary to a couple of hours ago, I actually agree with the Chairman. I think this bill doesn't go far enough, but it does represent real reform," said Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) who spoke Tuesday before the Rules panel, after Nadler.
Jordan and many other Republicans have called for FISA reform after a Justice Department (DOJ) watchdog found 17 "significant errors or omissions" in the surveillance warrant applications for former Trump campaign aide Carter Page, dating back to 2016. DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz has said his investigation did not find evidence to suggest political bias impacted the FBI's decision to open the counterintelligence probe and concluded that the FBI had an "authorized purpose" for the inquiry.
Jordan dismissed the idea of a clean reauthorization bill, citing the Page wiretap and taking aim at the GOP leaders who supported the idea.
"I am [OK with the deal], but I'm like you, I wanted a lot more. But sometimes you got to step back. And look, what are we going to get with Democrats in control of the House?" asked Jordan during an interview with Ohio conservative talk radio host Bob Frantz on Wednesday.
But some of the fiercest critics of U.S. surveillance powers were not pleased by the text of the bill.

Q Research General #10737: Baking Lag for Baker Fag Edition
FBI power to eavesdrop on Americans likely to be curtailed
The House approved legislation on Wednesday, 278-136, that would make it harder to eavesdrop on U.S. citizens and foreigners under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, better known as FISA. The measure now goes to the Senate, where one member's opposition could still prevent it from reaching Trump for his signature before some of the act's powers expire on Sunday.
Senate Republican leaders, including Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, issued a statement of support. "This legislation balances the need to reauthorize these critical authorities with the need for tailored reforms to increase accountability," they said.
Surveillance authority became hotly controversial after it was revealed that the FBI used it to eavesdrop on Carter Page, a former foreign policy advisor to Trump's campaign, during the 2016 race. A subsequent report from the Justice Department inspector general said law enforcement officials had mishandled the case by withholding information from the secret court that approved the FISA warrant and renewed it three times.
The bill calls for restricting the government's ability to obtain cellphone records in national security investigations. It would require the FBI to certify that all relevant information has been provided to the court and to appoint compliance officers to ensure applications for warrants are handled appropriately.
The attorney general would be required to approve any surveillance of federal elected officials or candidates for federal office.
If the proposals become law, it would reflect a rare moment of bipartisan compromise for factions that battled over the Russia investigation and the subsequent impeachment of Trump for his dealings with Ukraine.
"These reforms are an extraordinary accomplishment in a period of divided government," said House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Bakersfield).
Rep. Adam B. Schiff (D-Burbank), the chair of the House Intelligence Committee, said the legislation "makes a number of critical and important reforms to strengthen civil liberties and privacy protections … while simultaneously protecting the national security of the United States."
Atty. Gen. William Barr, who has worked with lawmakers to nail down details of the proposals, said Wednesday that he supports the legislation.
"The bill contains an array of new requirements and compliance provisions that will protect against abuse and misuse in the future while ensuring that this critical tool is available when appropriate to protect the safety of the American people," he said in a statement.
The American Civil Liberties Union called the legislation a "half measure."
"With only minimal improvements over current law, the reforms in this backroom deal fall far short of what is needed to protect our privacy rights," Christopher Anders, its deputy political director, said in a statement. "This proposal will continue to allow secret courts to issue secret orders and the federal government will continue spying on Americans without the kind of oversight and adversarial process that all Americans should expect of our government and our courts."
It's unclear whether libertarian conservatives in the Senate, notably Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), will decide to stall the debate and allow the surveillance powers to expire. "Weak sauce reform," he tweeted after the House vote. "This doesn't fix the problem! Let's do real reform now!"
Trump also remains a wild card. Ever since his Senate acquittal after impeachment by the House for his conduct toward Ukraine, he's been eager to strike back at the law enforcement and intelligence agencies that he believes wronged him during the Russia investigation.
During the 2016 race, the FBI began investigating Moscow's efforts to boost Trump's campaign by releasing emails hacked from Democrats and spreading misinformation on social media. Page was the target of surveillance because of his contacts with Russians, but he was never charged with any wrongdoing.
Republicans have long portrayed this as evidence that investigators were biased against Trump, particularly because they included Democratic-funded opposition research in the application for a warrant.
"This is fallout that the bureau deserves for how shoddily they did that work" in the Page case, Montoya said. "There is some frustration that the rules are going to be stricter but at the same time these are the lessons of what happens when you half-ass a FISA application."

Asshole at it again Anons, don't take the bait, and really who thinks he's a comedian
Patton Oswalt Imagines Trump Supporters Dying from Coronavirus
Comedian-actor Patton Oswalt posted a tweet on Tuesday in which he imagined supporters of President Donald Trump dying from coronavirus.
The Ratatouille star joked that "MAGA" supporters infected with COVID-19 would be obsessed with the media's treatment of President Trump as they coughed themselves to death.
Oswalt was responding to an unsubstantiated claim that President Trump has asked Attorney General William Barr to launch a Justice Department investigation into the media's coverage of the coronavirus.
Vanity Fair's Gabriel Sherman recently cited an "anonymous source close to the White House" who alleges that President Trump "wants Justice to open investigations of the media for market manipulation." But the Vanity Fair report never says that the president asked Barr to launch such an investigation, as Oswalt's retweet claims.
Patton Oswalt said in December that every person who voted for and still supports President Trump is a "stupid asshole."
"The President is a stupid asshole and if you voted for him you're a stupid asshole and if you still support him you're a stupid asshole," the Hollywood star tweeted. "Oh no this Tweet is going to make all the stupid assholes not like me waaaaah."

Ex-Intelligence Analyst Charged With Giving Reporter Classified Information
Daniel Fleming March 7, 2020
A former intelligence analyst working as a contractor for the federal government has been charged with stealing classified documents and turning them over to a reporter.
The reporter was not named, but many people think that the recipient of those files was The Intercept, who has a history of publishing leaked documents, including the infamous Reality Winner case. It is believed that Daniel E. Hale, the former analyst, was working with reporter Jeremy Scahill of The Intercept. The Intercept published some of those files on drone warfare in 2015.
AG Bill Barr says the DOJ is investigating multiple leaks.
From The Daily Caller
This would be the third leak prosecution involving The Intercept over the past several years. Reality Winner, a former National Security Agency contractor, and Terry Albury, a former FBI agent, were previously indicted for providing classified information to the website. The Trump administration has ramped up its investigations of illegal government leaks. Attorney General William Barr told the Senate Judiciary Committee on May 1 that the Justice Department has "multiple" ongoing criminal leak investigations.
According to prosecutors, Hale printed out 36 documents from his Top Secret computer system, and provided at least 17 to the reporter and the reporter's online news organization. According to the indictment, 11 of the documents published were marked as having top-secret or secret information.
Hale faces of slew of charges for illegally obtaining, retaining and transmitted national defense information. He faces up to 50 years in prison for the charges, but is likely to face a much lighter sentence if convicted.

Ben Sasse calls on DOJ to investigate Pornhub over alleged videos showing 'victims of trafficking being raped'
Sen. Ben Sasse has called on the Department of Justice to investigate Pornhub for allegedly streaming acts of rape and exploitation. The Nebraska Republican sent a letter to Attorney General William Barr on Tuesday arguing for an investigation into the pornography site's practices. Sasse also called for an investigation into Pornhub's parent company, MindGeek, which is headquartered in Luxembourg.
"In several notable incidents over the past year, Pornhub made content available worldwide showing women and girls that were victims of trafficking being raped and exploited," he wrote. "The problem of Pornhub streaming content featuring women and children victims of sex trafficking reached the point in November that Paypal cut off services for Pornhub, refusing to facilitate this abuse any longer."
The online financial service PayPal cut off business with Pornhub after finding that the pornography site was using the platform to make unauthorized transactions. Pornhub later said it was "devastated by PayPal's decision to stop payouts to over a hundred thousand performers who rely on them for their livelihoods." "Pornhub must not escape scrutiny. I therefore request that the Department open an investigation into Pornhub and its parent entity MindGeek Holding SARL for their involvement in this disturbing pipeline of exploiting children and other victims and survivors of sex trafficking," Sasse said.
The website was accused on Monday of allowing people committing crimes such as sex trafficking and rape to post videos to the platform. "This is a company that is generating millions in advertising and membership revenue, and yet they do not have an effective system in place to verify reliably the age or consent of those featured in the pornographic content it hosts," said Laila Mickelwait, founder of the activist group Exodus Cry. MindGeek denied the accusations, saying in a statement: "Pornhub has a steadfast commitment to eradicating and fighting non-consensual content and under-age material. Any suggestion otherwise is categorically and factually inaccurate."

The Federal Execution Protocol Addendum, which closely mirrors protocols utilized by several states, including currently Georgia, Missouri, and Texas, replaces the three-drug procedure previously used in Federal executions with a single drug-Pentobarbital.
Since 2010, 14 states have used Pentobarbital in over 200 executions, and Federal courts, including the Supreme Court, have repeatedly upheld the use of Pentobarbital in executions as consistent with the Eighth Amendment.
Upon Attorney General Barr's direction, Acting Director Hurwitz adopted the Addendum to the Federal Execution Protocol and, in accordance with 28 C.F.R. Part 26.

PENTOBARBITAL:Pentobarbital, also known as pentobarbitone, is a short-acting barbiturate. In high doses, pentobarbital causes death by respiratory arrest. In the United States, the drug has been used for executions of convicted criminals.
On July 25, 2019, US Attorney General William Barr directed the Federal government to resume capital punishment after 16 years.
Pentobarbitol's old name was Nembutal, known on the streets as "Yellow Jackets" due to yellow capsule.

Governments, Big Tech Team Up Against Online Child Sexual Exploitation
WASHINGTON-Powerful testimony from the "Phoenix 11," a group of child sex abuse survivors, kicked off the announcement of a new collaboration between governments and tech companies to stop the online sexual abuse of children.
"Last year, we all took a bold step to overcome the fears about ourselves, to band together to become a force for change," the group said in a video presented at the Department of Justice (DOJ) on March 5.
"We are survivors of sexual torture, child rape, erotic photoshoots, pedophile sleepovers, elementary school sex shows, streaming BDSM, and twisted sexual desires whose digital images were trafficked worldwide to fulfill the endless needs of an evil perverted community which takes pleasure from our pain."
In efforts to prevent child sexual abuse online, the United States, along with the UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, have created new voluntary principles that tech companies are promoting.
Facebook, Twitter, Google, Microsoft, Roblox, and Snapchat have all endorsed the principles, which ask them to prevent child sexual abuse material from being made available on their platforms, and taking action against advertising, soliciting children, and the livestreaming of child-related sexual abuse.
The principles stop short of asking tech companies to address end-to-end encryption, which is an ongoing tussle about where the line exists between privacy protection and the protection of criminals. The DOJ has said end-to-end encryption without a backdoor for law enforcement stymies criminal investigations. Tech companies say a backdoor presents a security risk for users.
"Predators' supposed privacy interests should not outweigh our children's privacy and security," said Attorney General William Barr on March 5. "Technology has made it easier to produce, conceal, and distribute child sexual abuse materials."
The DOJ has seen a 160 percent increase in cases involving the production of videos and images of children who were sexually exploited and abused over the last decade.
The CyberTipline for the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) received 1.1 million reports of child online sexual exploitation in 2014.

Spence later stated that his contacts within the White House, which allowed him and his "call boys" access, were "top level" officials and he specifically singled out George H.W. Bush's then-National Security Advisor Donald Gregg. Gregg had worked at the CIA since 1951 before he resigned in 1982 to become National Security Advisor to Bush, who was then vice president. Prior to resigning from his post at the CIA, Gregg had worked directly under William Casey and, in the late 1970s, alongside a young William Barr in stonewalling the congressional Pike Committee and Church Committee, which investigated the CIA beginning in 1975. Among the things that they were tasked with investigating were the CIA's "love traps," or sexual blackmail operations used to lure foreign diplomats to bugged apartments, complete with recording equipment and two-way mirrors.
Barr would later become Bush's Attorney General, rising to that post yet again under Trump. Furthermore, Barr's father worked for the precursor to the CIA, the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) and recruited a young Jeffrey Epstein, then a high school drop-out, to teach at the elite Dalton School, from which Epstein was later fired. A year prior to hiring Epstein, Donald Barr published a science fiction fantasy novel about sex slavery. Notably, the same year Donald Barr hired Epstein, his son was working for the CIA. Bill Barr has refused calls to recuse himself from the Epstein case, even though he worked at the same law firm that has represented Epstein in the past.

Bill targeting online child abuse puts encryption in crosshairs
Washington (AFP) - A bill aimed at curbing online child sex abuse is pitting the US government against the tech sector, in a battle about encryption and liability for illegal online content.
The bipartisan measure unveiled by US senators Thursday ties together two separate issues – law enforcement's access to encrypted online content, and tech platforms' legal immunity for what users post.
In unveiling the measure, senators said they were aiming to curb images of child sex abuse by forcing tech platforms to cooperate with law enforcement on encryption or risk losing the legal immunity for what is posted on their websites.
Digital rights activists have joined the tech sector in arguing this move is an indirect way to weaken online encryption in the name of better law enforcement access.
They say it erodes two cornerstones of the online ecosystem: strong encryption to keep data secure, and a liability shield which enables social media platforms to allow users to post content freely.
The bill "would give government officials unprecedented powers to craft de facto regulations for online speech," said Emma Llanso of the Center for Democracy and Technology, a digital rights organization.
"Online service providers would almost certainly err on the side of caution and take down anything – including a lot of lawful, constitutionally protected speech."
- 'Kneecapping' encryption -
Encryption has been a point of contention between tech firms and law enforcement for decades. FBI officials have warned of "going dark" in investigating crimes as a result of new forms of end-to-end encryption, while civil rights advocates warn that any "backdoor" access could be exploited by hackers and authoritarian governments.
The proposal "aims to kneecap encryption under the guise of protecting children online, while capitalizing on the techlash," said Riana Pfefferkorn of the Stanford University Center for Internet and Society, referring to the simmering discontent with Big Tech over data protection and other issues.

William Barr wading into dangerous territory with possible support for anti-tech regulation
Critics on the Left feel that online platforms aren't doing enough moderation of content. This week, Democratic Rep. David Cicilline announced plans to introduce a bill that would remove Section 230 protections from platforms that refuse to police political speech.
From the Right, the criticism is the opposite. Conservative tech skeptics insist that the same online platforms are doing too much moderation, and are disproportionately silencing conservative voices in the process.
Barr seems to agree with both criticisms.
The attorney general apparently thinks social media platforms aren't doing enough content patrolling. He said, "criminals and bad actors now use technology to facilitate and expand the scope of their wrongdoing and the victimization of our fellow citizens."

Spy bill set to expire without last-minute deal in Congress
Three provisions in the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act will expire this week unless Congress can agree on a last-minute deal to extend them, at least temporarily. President Trump, Democrats, and Republicans are all unhappy with the counterintelligence and foreign surveillance law known as FISA, but for different reasons. Their competing complaints have made large-scale reform very difficult and, with time running out, a short-term extension is looking more likely. Trump told Republicans last week he won't sign a bill that simply extends the law without changes. Trump believes the law was abused by the FBI to spy on his 2016 campaign and to launch improperly a two-year investigation into allegations he colluded with the Russians to win the White House.
The president "made it abundantly clear that he will NOT accept a clean reauthorization ... without significant FISA reform!" Sen. Rand Paul, a Kentucky Republican and a staunch FISA opponent who met with the president, tweeted. "I agree with him!" House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, a California Democrat and a former top member of the House Intelligence Committee, said she did not intend to let the FISA provisions expire. "We have to have a reauthorization of FISA," Pelosi told reporters before House lawmakers left for the weekend. "We're having our own negotiations within our own group, but also among the Democrats and vis-a-vis the Republicans."
Democrats are seeking changes to protect civil liberties and prevent abuse of the surveillance measures, which have grown increasingly unpopular in the past decade. Democrats are seeking changes to protect civil liberties and prevent abuse of the surveillance measures, which have grown increasingly unpopular in the past decade. Reforms to the FISA program will likely include ending the Call Details Record Program, which permits the government to seek call metadata from telecommunications companies, and new provisions to enable better oversight of the secretive program. The National Security Agency suspended the Call Details Record Program last year, but privacy advocates and many in Congress in both parties want to eliminate it in the law so that it cannot be restarted.
Rep. Zoe Lofgren, a California Democrat and a senior member of the House Judiciary Committee, is seeking additional changes that she said would close loopholes and strengthen oversight of the law. Lofgren also authored a FISA reform bill and is seeking House consideration of the measure. '"The bill pulls the intelligence programs in the direction of compliance with our Constitution,"' Lofgren said in a letter to Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler, a New York Democrat, last week. Lofgren helped block a House bill from passing the Judiciary Committee last month, leading to the current negotiations for greater reforms.
Republicans want changes to the law to address abuses outlined in a December report produced by Inspector General Michael Horowitz, who found "17 significant errors or omissions" by law enforcement seeking to spy on Trump campaign adviser Carter Page. "I would like to see us get to a point where we can find some compromise, find some reforms," House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, a California Republican, said. "I believe that we can get there." Attorney General William Barr, meanwhile, wants a "clean" extension of the law with no new changes. He pledged to Republicans last month to make internal changes to address the problems discovered by Horowitz. House and Senate lawmakers have not scheduled consideration of a FISA reauthorization next week despite the looming deadline. The Senate will be considering a major energy bill while the House plans to take up a Senate-passed measure limiting President Trump's ability to use military force against Iran.
A vote on FISA is tentative, House leaders said. "Conversations are ongoing," Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, a Maryland Democrat, said, before adjourning the House on Thursday.

The money involved was minimal but the symbolism was important. The veto suggests a willingness by Mr. Clinton to take some risks in battling the Republican assault on his programs. He will need to do so again if he is to salvage his Presidency and define what it stands for.
The main risk was that Mr. Clinton would be seen as an opponent of fiscal responsibility and, specifically, as an enemy of humanitarian relief. The bill provided funds for victims of the disasters in California and Oklahoma.
The veto might also have been interpreted as a signal that he had given up hope of negotiating his differences with Congress. Since taking office, the President has tried hard not to be seen as confrontational. This was, in fact, his first veto. No President has waited so long to wield the veto power since the 1850's.
But the issues defined by Mr. Clinton were the right ones, giving him credibility for the next time he confronts a hostile Congress. He objected to cuts for education and training, environmental protection, nutrition programs and other important areas. It is unthinkable, as he said, that these programs should be trimmed to make room for pork-Barrel projects.
Although he did not make much of the environmental issue, a provision sought by logging interests to allow indiscriminate timber cutting on Federal lands would have been sufficient reason to say no.
Mr. Clinton signaled a readiness to compromise. Both he and the Republicans, who also made accommodating noises, sense that Americans want the two sides to work together rather than engage in sterile combat in the months to come.
Future veto battles will be more difficult than this one, and Mr. Clinton must stick to principle. The veto is his only power to influence legislation, but it cannot by itself force Congress to approve legislation to the Administration's liking. In such areas as welfare reform, environmental changes and foreign aid – where the Administration has hinted that a veto might be necessary – the President needs to accompany his threats with a clear outline of the alternatives he seeks.

Crooked Hillary Clinton Comes Unglued: "I'M MOST INNOCENT PERSON IN AMERICA"
"Appearing on CNN, Bill Clinton claims that the millions the Clintons made from speeches paid for by foreign individuals and entities who had business before Hillary's State Department were innocent and coincidental.
"[Hillary] was pretty busy those years," Clinton said. "I never saw her study a list of my contributors, and I had no idea who was doing business before the State Department."
Bill added: "No one has ever asked me for anything...I never thought about whether there was any overlap."
Besides, as Bill explained, in a Bloomberg interview last week, "Has anybody proved that we did anything objectionable? No."
Guys you do realize the WJC said no one has proved they've done anything wrong, and they made a mistake here. William Barr was part of the Clinton impeachment, by WJC saying that he he just riled up the US Attorney General of the USA, WJC should have left out that last line, anyone involved at that time would have been so pissed. William Barr is not a reflexive AG, he just plods away, making sure they have evidence to prove a case. WJC might have made the worst mistake of his life

Wow, it doesn't get any worse than this.
So, what do we do as a people?
We no longer have a Justice System to rely upon.
We no longer have a functioning Constitutional Republic.
I see little alternative but to declare Marshall Law and hold Military Tribunals.
The evidence is there. The patterns are there. The associations are there. The criminal conduct is there.
Our very government has become seditious and treasonous unto itself and placing any hope into a system that is so corrupt to correct itself is a fools errand.
John Durham hasn't convened a Grand Jury.
What does that tell you?

Use whatever tools at your disposal (the military) to restore the RULE OF LAW in our great land.
We the People will support your efforts and if called upon (Posse Comitatus) will go and arrest the criminals who have abused us so terribly and deliver them up for trial.

President Trump Nixes Extending Current FISA Surveillance Law
The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act has been greatly abused in recent years and is full of loopholes that allow bad actors to misuse the system for political purposes, including spying on Americans. The current FISA legislation is due to expire in 2 weeks. ? TN Editor
President Donald Trump told top House and Senate Republicans on Tuesday evening that he would not support a clean extension of federal surveillance powers and called for them to work out a deal with Democrats on how to move forward.
GOP leaders are already talking about a potential 30-day extension of provisions in the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act while they try to hammer out a deal with Democrats.
Trump's comments in an hour-plus meeting on Tuesday night came despite a push from Attorney General William Barr to modify the law administratively to appease the president, who has railed in the past against the spying law after authorities used it to monitor an associate of his 2016 campaign.
"The president made it exceedingly clear he will not accept a clean re-authorization ... without real reform," Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), told reporters after the meeting. "He was told by the attorney general, we can massage around the edges and we can fix this through regulation, the president didn't accept that, pushed back very vigorously and said 'we're not doing this.'"

AOC urges illegal immigrants to fill out 2020 census
One of the country's most polarizing politicians is calling for illegal immigrants to fill out the 2020 census. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez told NBC's Seth Meyers on Thursday that "every single person, no matter your documentation status" should participate in filling out the once-in-a-decade record of persons dwelling in the United States. "We're all going to get mailed a prompt to fill out the census in the next two weeks or so," the New York Democrat said. "Every single person, no matter your documentation status, no matter your housing status, income, etc., is to be counted."
In 2019, Ocasio-Cortez condemned the idea of a citizenship question on the census, saying, "unspeakable horrors have been executed in the United States in the name of citizenship." The census, which will begin on April 1, 2020, will be used to determine how government funds should be used to build a wide range of infrastructures such as schools, hospitals, homes, and supermarkets. A major debate around the census is related to how the numbers are used to alter congressional representation. Ten states are expected to either lose or gain congressional districts based on the results of the 2020 census.
President Trump stoked outrage in 2018 when his administration announced plans to reintroduce a citizenship question to the decennial U.S. census for the first time since 1950. Critics called the proposed citizenship question xenophobic and claimed its addition would suppress a true count of the populace, but proponents argued the measure would protect against voting discrimination. Federal Judge Jesse Furman ruled against the plan, writing that the implementation of a citizenship test would be both "arbitrary and capricious."
The House voted last year to hold Attorney General William Barr and Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross in contempt of Congress after they failed to respond to congressional subpoenas regarding the citizenship question. The Justice Department refused to charge the two men; Deputy Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen told House Speaker Nancy Pelosi that their failure to comply "did not constitute a crime." In June of 2019, the Trump administration said it would no longer pursue the citizenship addition after the Supreme Court ruled 5-4 against the effort.

AP Exclusive: Gun found inside Epstein jail during lockdown
WASHINGTON (AP) - Federal investigators found a loaded gun Thursday that had been smuggled into the jail where Jeffrey Epstein killed himself last summer, following a weeklong lockdown that turned up other contraband and led to a criminal probe into guard misconduct, the federal Bureau of Prisons told The Associated Press.
The handgun was located by Bureau of Prisons officers inside a housing unit at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan, prison officials said in a statement to the AP. It marked a massive breach of protocol and raised serious questions about the security practices in place at the Bureau of Prisons, which is responsible for more than 175,000 federal inmates, and specifically at the jail, which had been billed as one of the most secure in America. Officials have not said where specifically the gun had been found, or how it had been smuggled inside the jail.
Meanwhile, federal prosecutors opened a criminal investigation into potential misconduct by guards, focusing on the flow of contraband into the lockup uncovered during the search for the gun, three people familiar with the matter told the AP. They were not authorized to discuss the investigation and spoke on condition of anonymity.
Attorney General William Barr named a new director last week to take charge of the agency, which has been the subject of intense scrutiny since Epstein took his own life while in custody in August. But the agency has been plagued for years by serious misconduct, violence and a chronic staffing shortage
The investigation and search at the Manhattan facility began last week after officials received information that a gun may have been smuggled into the lockup and placed the jail on lockdown "in order to protect the public, staff and inmates until a comprehensive search could be completed," the agency said in a statement.
Since then, officials have been keeping inmates locked down in their cells without access to their lawyers and canceled all visitation at the jail, which houses about 700 inmates. In the past few days, officers have searched the facility and uncovered a sizable amount of contraband, including cellphones, narcotics and homemade weapons, the Bureau of Prisons said.
"All of these items pose a significant threat to the safety and security of the facility as well as the public," the agency said in a statement.
Investigators were planning to continue searching the jail throughout the night Thursday, looking for any additional contraband, and the lockdown was expected to continue. Federal prosecutors are trying to determine how the it has all been entering the facility and the Bureau of Prisons said it notified the Justice Department's inspector general and the FBI.
"The BOP is committed to the safety of staff, inmates and the public while continuing to ensure that those responsible for misconduct and criminal activity are held accountable," the statement said.
All visitors and inmates are searched before entering the facility and go through metal detectors. They are supposed to leave personal belongings outside the jail. All mail is also screened by correctional staff.
The agency said Thursday that it arranged for additional staff from other parts of the U.S. to assist in the investigation and ensure there is appropriate staffing at the jail. The agency said it "has maintained communication with stakeholders as needed" and held a meeting with the chief federal judge and public defender in Manhattan, along with prosecutors, the Marshals Service and probation officials.
The agency also said it has discussed a plan to resume legal visits at the jail on Friday and expects to allow full legal visitation by next week. Visits with family members could resume as soon as this week, officials added.
"The Bureau has been working closely with the stakeholders throughout this period to ensure those defendants with imminent court deadlines have the legal visits with their legal counsel as needed," the statement said.
It is just the latest crisis at the jail, which houses a number of high-profile inmates, including attorney Michael Avenatti, who gained fame by representing porn actress Stormy Daniels in lawsuits involving President Donald Trump. Federal prosecutors allege that the two correctional officers assigned to watch Epstein's unit were snoozing and shopping on the internet when he took his own life in his cell in August, and later forged records to make it look like they checked in on him.

'Judge demands unredacted Mueller report, questions Barr's 'credibility''
A federal judge on Thursday ordered the Department of Justice (DOJ) to hand over to him a copy of the unredacted Mueller report and accused Attorney General William Barr of misrepresenting its findings in the days before it was submitted to Congress last year. Judge Reggie B. Walton, a federal district court judge in Washington, said that he could not reconcile Barr's public comments in April 2019 about the report with the actual findings that former special counsel Robert Mueller outlined. "The inconsistencies between Attorney General Barr's statements, made at a time when the public did not have access to the redacted version of the Mueller Report to assess the veracity of his statements, and portions of the redacted version of the Mueller Report that conflict with those statements cause the Court to seriously question whether Attorney General Barr made a calculated attempt to influence public discourse about the Mueller Report in favor of President Trump despite certain findings in the redacted version of the Mueller Report to the contrary," Walton wrote in his decision. "These circumstances generally, and Attorney General Barr's lack of candor specifically, call into question Attorney General Barr's credibility" as well as the DOJ's arguments in a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit, Walton added. A DOJ spokeswoman did not respond when asked for comment.
The judge, who was appointed to the court by former President George W. Bush, said he would review the full report to determine whether the redactions made by the DOJ are subject to a FOIA request. The unredacted version will not be released to the public in the meantime. After Mueller submitted his long-awaited report on his investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election, the DOJ waited nearly a month before releasing to the public a redacted version in April. During that time, Barr summarized the findings publicly as clearing Trump of any wrongdoing and concluding that neither he nor his campaign had colluded with Russia for assistance during the presidential race. Mueller criticized Barr's framing of his report, writing in a letter to the DOJ last year that it "did not fully capture the context, nature, and substance of this Office's work and conclusions." The report said that while the investigation had not been able to establish proof that the campaign had conspired with Russia, it found "multiple links between Trump campaign officials and individuals tied to the Russian government."
Walton is presiding over a pair of consolidated FOIA lawsuits brought by Buzzfeed journalist Jason Leopold and the nonprofit Electronic Privacy Information Center. The judge said that Barr's public statements about the report has caused him to doubt the DOJ's arguments that the redactions should remain in place. "The Court has grave concerns about the objectivity of the process that preceded the public release of the redacted version of the Mueller Report and its impacts on the Department's subsequent justifications that its redactions of the Mueller Report are authorized by the FOIA," Walton wrote. He ordered the DOJ to hand over the unredacted report by March 30.

Q Research General #10662: The Town Hall Edition
The Department of Justice is proposing a set of voluntary principles that take aim at tech giants in an effort to combat online sexual abuse.
The principles are part of a fresh effort by the government to hold the tech companies accountable for the harm and abuse that happens on their platforms, amid the past two years of brewing hostilities between the government and Silicon Valley. But critics also see it as a renewed push to compel tech companies to weaken or undo their "warrant-proof" encryption efforts under the guise of preventing crime and terrorism.
U.S. Attorney General William Barr announced the proposals at the Justice Department on Thursday with international partners from the U.K., Canada, Australia and New Zealand.
The principles, built by the five countries and tech leaders - including Facebook, Google, Microsoft and Twitter - aim to incentivize internet companies and social media giants to do more to prevent child sexual abuse on their platforms.
Barr said he hopes that the principles "set new norms" across the tech industry to "make sure there's no safe space on the internet for offenders to operate."
The principles come ahead of anticipated bipartisan legislation to Congress - the so-called EARN IT Act, which reports say could effectively force the tech companies' hands by threatening to pull their legal immunities for what their users post if the companies fail to aggressively clamp down on online child sexual abuse.
Sens. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) announced the legislation shortly after the Justice Department presser ended.

Levi has spent the last two years as one of Barr's seven counselors, helping the attorney general navigate several hot-button issues at the center of President Donald Trump's campaign against the "deep state." He assisted Barr on efforts to revise the government's domestic spying powers, and also has worked on other national security, criminal and civil matters at DOJ.

UPDATED 3:18 PM PT - Wednesday, March 4, 2020
Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) has unveiled a plan to hold Joe and Hunter Biden accountable for their actions in Ukraine. On Wednesday, he said he is planning to force a vote in the Homeland Security Committee to subpoena the Bidens in an ongoing corruption probe.
Johnson confirmed his committee will issue an interim report on its findings. Senate Republicans also want to subpoena several lobbyists associated with Blue Star Strategies, a U.S.-based company with ties to Burisma Holdings.
Johnson added he will review all evidence on the matter, including testimonies by Ukrainian officials.
"The firing of Shokin, his replacement, has a pretty interesting (implication) for the file about how there's a misinformation campaign perpetrated by U.S. representatives against the prosecutor general's office," he said. "There's a lot of questions that remain unanswered and the press just wants to wipe this all away, say it's just Russian disinformation."
The senator has said his report will be released within a month or two, after all the evidence is verified. He noted none of it looks good for Biden's 2020 campaign.

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) echoed these claims on Wednesday, saying that ongoing probes into Ukrainian corruption will haunt Joe Biden's bid for president. While speaking on Capitol Hill, he stated Hunter Biden sat on the board of the most corrupt company in the entire country.
Graham pointed out the former vice president was in charge of fighting corruption in Ukraine at the time. Ukrainian officials have claimed their country lost billions of dollars in money laundering and offshoring funds when Joe Biden was in office.
The senator emphasized this information will impact Biden's chances of becoming president.
"If you're going to run for president, you were in charge of the Ukrainian anti-corruption campaign as vice president, and your son's sitting on the most corrupt company in the country while you're trying to clean up the country, yeah, that'll come up," said Graham

The Graham-Blumenthal Bill: A New Path for DOJ to Finally Break Encryption
Members of Congress are about to introduce a bill that will undermine the law that undergirds free speech on the Internet. If passed, the bill known as the Eliminating Abusive and Rampant Neglect of Interactive Technologies (EARN IT) Act, will fulfill a long-standing dream of U.S. law enforcement. If passed, it could largely mark the end of private, encrypted messaging on the Internet.
The Department of Justice and the FBI have long seen encryption as a threat. In 1993, the Clinton administration promoted the installation of a "Clipper Chip" in consumer devices that would allow for easy government eavesdropping using key escrow. When researchers repeatedly demonstrated that this flawed idea would compromise privacy and security for everyone, not just criminals, the idea was scrapped. But U.S. law enforcement agencies spent the next 25 years villainizing the widespread adoption of encryption and highlighting a series of awful criminal acts in their efforts to scare elected officials into requiring backdoors.
In recent years, they've used acts of terrorism like the mass shootings in San Bernardino and Pensacola to press for draconian changes to the law. More recently, officials like Attorney General William Barr have blamed encryption for sexual crimes against children. Not only are these crimes horrific to hear about, but they are nearly impossible to get objective information about. Nearly all information that the public gets about these crimes is filtered through law enforcement and organizations that work closely with law enforcement. Because of that, it's very hard for policymakers to make informed decisions that address both public safety and civil liberties concerns.
Meanwhile, we face immense challenges to building secure systems, and strong encryption is one the best tools we have available to protect ourselves. Encryption preserves the ability to have private, secure communications in an increasingly insecure world. Members of the government, the military and law enforcement themselves use encryption to protect their communications, as do journalists, activists and those at risk of domestic abuse, among many others. We should not sacrifice the power of these fundamental technologies, even in the name of important law enforcement goals.

Five Eyes closes on tech child sex deal
Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton will meet security ministers from the Five Eyes intelligence alliance in Washington on Thursday, in a bid to finalise a global agreement that would force Facebook and Google to help shut down live streaming and sharing of child sex abuse.
The top-level forum to be hosted at the White House will coincide with the introduction of a bill today to the Australian parliament that would enact mirror laws with the US CLOUD Act.
This would allow reciprocal rights for both US and Australian security agencies to issue warrants for data held offshore by cloud providers in hunting down terrorists and child sex networks.
Mr Dutton has led a campaign with US Attorney-General William Barr and Britain's Home Affairs secretary Priti Patel to force the tech companies and online platforms to co-operate with security agencies in stopping the viewing and live streaming of child sex material.

Barr Taking Over Antitrust Probes of Silicon Valley Tech Companies
.
Attorney General William Barr has tightened his control of the Justice Department's antitrust probes over the last several months, a move that could spell trouble for Google, Facebook, and other Silicon Valley tech giants.
The attorney general, along with his deputy attorney general, Jeffrey Rosen, and several other officials, have personally taken over the antitrust probes, Politico reported Monday. The move makes good on a promise Barr made during his confirmation hearing, when he vowed antitrust issues would be a priority for him.

US Judge Demands Company Charged in Russiagate Present Subpoenaed Evidence in Person
A US federal judge has threatened to hold Concord Management, a Russian company indicted by former special counsel Robert Mueller, in civil contempt if it does not present subpoenaed company records in person.
On Monday, US District Judge Dabney Freidrich demanded that St. Petersburg-based Concord Management supply her Washington, DC, court with subpoenaed company records by sending someone tasked with record-keeping to deliver them from Russia in person. She rejected a sworn statement, Courthouse News reported.
Concord's legal representative, attorney Eric Dubelier, adamantly rejected Freidrich's suggestion that the defense was engaged in something "sneaky," calling the US government's position "a ridiculous argument."
Meanwhile, federal prosecutors urged the judge to hold Concord in civil contempt in a Thursday court filing.
"We are starting to have some concerns about whether Concord is participating in this case," US Attorney Adam Jed said in court on Monday. "It gives us pause ... that they are just going to write something down and give it to the US government," he said of the sworn statement.
Concord replied on Friday with its own filing arguing its case for not being held in civil contempt, accusing the US Department of Justice of showing a "manifest disregard of the record and controlling law."
"The primary foundation for its demand - that Concord's counsel did not thoroughly explain the bases for Concord's responses to the subpoenas - not only is not found in any court order but this Court expressly rejected the notion that such an explanation could be required," Dubelier argued in the filing. The attorney noted that no court order had ever required such an explanation.
"And here again, the government's incredulity over the adequacy of the response, real or feigned, does not reveal a failure to respond, much less a violation of any court order related to such a response. Simply put, the basis for a contempt finding is a product of the government's argument, not the relevant record," he noted.
The trial is anticipated to begin next month, with the discovery process having dragged on for nearly two years as Concord lawyers challenged Mueller's authority to charge the company, then urged the DoJ to hold Mueller and Attorney General William Barr in contempt for publishing the Mueller report.
In a highly unorthodox move, the DoJ has refused the sharing of discovery materials with the defense, arguing that since Concord is partially owned by Russian businessman Yevgeniy Prigozhin, doing so would help the Russian government react to US attempts to thwart alleged criminal activities. During discovery, the prosecution and defense typically share their positions and the evidence supporting them before the trial itself begins.
Concord is accused of conspiracy to defraud the United States by allegedly financing the Russian government's efforts to interfere in the 2016 US presidential election because Prigozhin is allegedly tied to the Internet Research Agency (IRA), which the Office of the Director of National Intelligence claimed is the 'troll farm' behind the alleged interference. Along with Concord, Mueller indicted a dozen IRA employees in February 2018.

March 2, 2020
Joint Statement from DOS, DOJ, DOD, DHS, ODNI, FBI, NSA, and CISA on Preparations for Super Tuesday
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, U.S. Attorney General William Barr, Secretary of Defense Mark Esper, Acting Secretary of Homeland Security Chad Wolf, Acting Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell, Federal Bureau of Investigation Director Christopher Wray, U.S. Cyber Command Commander and National Security Agency Director Gen. Paul Nakasone, and Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency Director Christopher Krebs today released the following joint statement:
Tomorrow, millions of voters in more than a dozen states and territories will cast their votes in presidential primaries. 'Super Tuesday' will see more Americans head to the polls than any other day of the primary season. We continue to work with all 50 states, U.S. territories, local officials, political parties, and private sector partners to keep elections free from foreign interference.
Americans must also remain aware that foreign actors continue to try to influence public sentiment and shape voter perceptions. They spread false information and propaganda about political processes and candidates on social media in hopes to cause confusion and create doubt in our system. We remain alert and ready to respond to any efforts to disrupt the 2020 elections. We continue to make it clear to foreign actors that any effort to undermine our democratic processes will be met with sharp consequences.
The level of coordination and communication between the federal government and state, local, and private sector partners is stronger than it's ever been. Our departments and agencies are working together in an unprecedented level of commitment and effort to protect our elections and to counter malign foreign influence, but voters have a role to play too.
We encourage all voters going to the polls to check your voter registration and know ahead of time when to vote, where to vote, what's on your ballot, and whether your state requires identification. Your state or local election official's office is the most trusted source for election material. A well-informed and vigilant republic is the best defense against disinformation.

Bad news for Silicon Valley: William Barr is taking control of antitrust probes
Recent moves have sidelined DOJ's antitrust leaders, leaving oversight of investigations into companies like Google to the AG's handpicked staff.

That leaves Okuliar as the point person for the tech probes within the Antitrust Division, helping manage day-to-day questions from the more than 30 lawyers assigned to work on the cases along with Shores. They are also highly involved in the discussions with state attorneys general who have opened parallel probes into Google and Facebook. A meeting at DOJ in February with the attorneys general of Texas, Nebraska and Utah was organized in part to allow them to meet Shores and Okuliar, according to people who attended.
In speeches in December, Barr said he hopes to have the tech platform probes wrapped up by the end of this year.
At the very least, Delrahim is expected to remain at DOJ through May, when the U.S. will host the International Competition Network, an annual gathering of competition enforcers from around the world. The U.S. was a founding member of ICN, along with the European Union and 12 other jurisdictions. Today, the group is made of 126 jurisdictions, including every major country except China.
For the first time, the U.S. will play host for the gathering in Los Angeles - Delrahim's hometown.

"Just how much of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation's charity cash did the Clinton's squander for personal use and luxuries instead of charitable causes? That's a number the FBI was never truly allowed to develop. The criminal case has since been spiked by Attorney General William Barr. It appears Barr's Justice Department too was responsible for blocking the FBI from allowing Gates to talk about his reported problems with the Clinton charities. Gates - both directly through his charity foundation and through other charitable proxies he is linked to - provided the Clinton's with well over $200 million, perhaps much more."

Attorney General William P. Barr Names Michael Carvajal Director of the Bureau of Prisons
Carvajal replaces Kathleen Hawk Sawyer (also a Barr apointee)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kathleen_Hawk_Sawyer
On December 4, 1992, Hawk Sawyer was appointed the director of the Federal Bureau of Prisons by William Barr, the Attorney General at the time.[4] While director, she focused her efforts on reducing recidivism by giving more opportunities for education and employment to prisoners. She also sought to offer secondary education at every federal institution, and substance abuse programs. Hawk Sawyer retired from the position in 2003.
On August 19, 2019, Barr re-appointed her as director of the Federal Bureau of Prisons as part of a shake-up following the death of Jeffrey Epstein.

Arrests in Four States of Racially Motivated Violent Extremists Targeting Journalists and Activists
Defendants Created and Coordinated Nationwide Delivery of Threatening Posters
Four racially motivated violent extremists from across the U.S. were arrested and charged today in U.S District Court in Seattle with a conspiracy to threaten and intimidate journalists and activists, the Department of Justice announced. Today's arrests and searches by the FBI and local law enforcement are being coordinated by the Department of Justice's National Security Division and the U.S. Attorney's Offices in Seattle, Tampa, Houston, and Phoenix.
"These defendants from across the country allegedly conspired on the internet to intimidate journalists and activists with whom they disagreed," said Assistant Attorney General for National Security John C. Demers. "This is not how America works. The Department of Justice will not tolerate this type of behavior."
"These defendants sought to spread fear and terror with threats delivered to the doorstep of those who are critical of their activities," said U.S. Attorney Brian T. Moran for the Western District of Washington. "As Attorney General William Barr has made clear, rooting out anti-Semitic hate and threats of violence and vigorously prosecuting those responsible are top priorities for the Department of Justice."
"The United States Attorney's Office for the Middle District of Florida and FBI-Tampa have been focused on identifying and eradicating the threat posed by the Atomwaffen Division both locally and nationally," said U.S. Attorney Maria Chapa Lopez for the Middle District of Florida. "Today's arrests send a powerful message that the Department of Justice will not tolerate criminal conduct based on hateful ideology. We will continue to work with our partners here in the Middle District of Florida, and elsewhere, to devote our resources to investigate and prosecute those who aim to threaten and terrorize our communities."
The defendants charged in the conspiracy include:
Cameron Brandon Shea, 24, of Redmond, Washington;
Kaleb Cole, 24, of Montgomery, Texas;
Taylor Ashley Parker-Dipeppe, 20, of Spring Hill, Florida, and
Johnny Roman Garza, 20, of Queen Creek, Arizona.
According to the criminal complaint, the defendants conspired via an encrypted online chat group to identify journalists and others they wanted to intimidate. The group focused primarily on those who are Jewish or journalists of color. Defendants Cole and Shea created the posters, which included Nazi symbols, masked figures with guns and Molotov cocktails, and threatening language. The posters were delivered to Atomwaffen members electronically and the coconspirators printed and delivered or mailed the posters to journalists or activists the group was targeting. In the Seattle area, the posters were mailed to a TV journalist who had reported on Atomwaffen and to two individuals associated with the Anti-Defamation League (ADL). In Tampa, the group targeted a journalist,but delivered the poster to the wrong address. In Phoenix, the poster was delivered to a magazine journalist.

Q Research General #10604: One Giant Leap Day For Mankind Edition
Jackie Speier's Question to DOJ on Epstein Raises Eyebrows in House Intel Committee
In a closed-door briefing to members of Congress about government surveillance, a senior Justice Department official was asked a surprising question.
The question came when intelligence and national security officials gathered earlier this week to brief members of the House Intelligence Committee on the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), a law with some authorities that will expire in several weeks. Rep. Jackie Speier, a California Democrat, prefaced her question by saying it was a bit off-topic. According to two sources with knowledge of the briefing, Speier then asked John Demers, the Assistant Attorney General of the National Security Division at the Justice Department, whether Jeffrey Epstein had ever worked as an undercover FBI asset. Then she pressed him on whether he had any personal knowledge of Epstein-a convicted pedophile who died in jail last August, awaiting trial-working with the FBI.
Demers responded that he worked for the Justice Department, not the FBI, and that he had no knowledge of Epstein doing such work. The question raised eyebrows, as it appeared to be based on a theory that law enforcement officials may have turned a blind eye to the serial rapist because he helped them gather information.
A Justice Department spokesperson declined to comment, and a spokesperson for Speier did not provide on-record comment.
The Miami Herald reported in November 2018 that, as part of an extremely generous plea deal he received from then-U.S. Attorney Alexander Acosta's office in 2007, "Epstein provided what the government called 'valuable consideration' for unspecified information he supplied to federal investigators." The Herald said it was unclear what information, if any, Epstein shared with law enforcement.
And Vicky Ward reported for The Daily Beast last August that Acosta later told Trump transition team officials that Epstein's case was connected to intelligence matters. He went on to become Secretary of Labor. "I was told Epstein 'belonged to intelligence' and to leave it alone," Acosta privately told Trump transition team officials before his confirmation, per Ward's story.
On July 8, 2019, the Justice Department charged Epstein with sex trafficking of underage girls. In a lengthy press conference two days later, Acosta fielded a question about whether or not the sexual predator was an "intelligence asset."
"So, there has been reporting to that effect," he said obliquely, per The Washington Examiner. "And let me say, there's been report to a lot of effects in this case. Not just now but over the years. And again, I would, I would hesitate to take this reporting as fact."
Acosta's efforts to explain his generous treatment of the serial rapist were not enough to save his job; after facing blistering criticism, he resigned from the Trump administration on July 19.
Epstein was found dead in his prison cell less than a month later. The New York City Medical Examiner's Office said the death was a suicide; a private pathologist hired by Epstein's brother said it could have been a homicide, as The New York Times reported. Attorney General William Barr said the Justice Department's top watchdog was investigating the circumstances of Epstein's death.
Epstein and his longtime associate Ghislane Maxwell had countless powerful friends and acquaintances. In 2002, future President Donald Trump said Epstein liked "beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side." Bill Clinton flew on Epstein's notorious private jet numerous times. And Democratic presidential candidate Michael Bloomberg was photographed at a public event with Maxwell in 2013. Epstein's connections even extended to literal royalty; Prince Andrew spent a significant amount of time with him before his death, and stepped back from his royal duties after giving a trainwreck interview to the BBC about his relationship with the serial child rapist.

Q Research General #10599 TRUMP RALLYYYY - WRWY North Charelston! Edition
'Political interference': Jerry Nadler seeks testimony from John Durham about Russia inquiry review (1 of 2)
House Democrats want U.S. Attorney John Durham to testify about his inquiry into the origins of the Russia investigation. Rep. Jerry Nadler, the chairman of the Judiciary Committee, sent a letter to Attorney General William Barr on Friday requesting documents and interviews with 15 officials with knowledge of cases of personal interest to President Trump. "The Judiciary Committee needs to examine a range of recent actions that smack of political interference, including the Department's withdrawal of the Roger Stone sentencing recommendation; intervening in the handling of the Michael Flynn prosecution; overruling the decision to relocate Paul Manafort to Rikers Island; opening investigations into career officials involved in the Russia investigation; and a series of controversial interventions into sensitive antitrust matters," Nadler said in the four-page letter.
Durham, a top prosecutor in Connecticut, was on the list of officials. Nadler asked that Barr respond by March 13 "given the urgent and serious nature of these requests." A spokesperson for Durham declined to comment and referred the Washington Examiner to the Justice Department's public affairs office. The DOJ did not immediately return a request for comment. Trump gave Barr "full and complete authority to declassify information" in the "investigation of the investigators" last year. Durham was assigned to review possible misconduct by federal law enforcement and intelligence officials during the counterintelligence investigation into Trump's 2016 campaign by Barr, who said in the spring that "some of the facts" surrounding the inquiry "don't hang together with the official explanations of what happened." Following the DOJ watchdog's Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act report, Barr said he told Durham to focus just as much on the FBI's actions after Trump's election in November 2016 as before it.
Democrats have criticized the review as a politically motivated scheme to undermine the work of former special counsel Robert Mueller and attack Trump's perceived enemies. "I have faith that Durham is going to get to the bottom of this," House Intelligence Committee ranking member Devin Nunes, a California Republican, said at CPAC on Friday. "I really do." In October, Fox News reported that Durham expanded the investigation, broadening his team to include additional agents and resources as the period of time they were examining expanded into 2017. Weeks later, it was revealed that Durham opened a criminal inquiry in his investigation, which gave the federal prosecutor the power to impanel a grand jury and hand down indictments. Former FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith, who is believed to have altered a key document in FISA filings related to onetime Trump campaign adviser Carter Page, is the only person publicly known to be under criminal investigation by Durham.
Texas Rep. John Ratcliffe, a Republican member of the House's judiciary and intelligence panels, told Fox News on Sunday that he believes Durham is "specifically" looking into alleged FISA abuses, noting the Justice Department already determined that at least two of the four FISA orders targeting Page were not valid. Durham is reportedly reviewing former CIA Director John Brennan's analysis of Russian election interference, including scrutiny of his handling of a secret source said to be close to the Kremlin. Some of the U.S. attorney's scrutiny revolves around how the U.S. government eventually reached its January 2017 intelligence assessment on Russian election interference and whether Brennan was pushing for a biased result.
The prosecutor is also focused on at least two clashes over sensitive information, according to sources cited by the New York Times, including an internal Obama administration squabble related to restrictions placed upon yet-unknown foreign intelligence by an unnamed intelligence agency and a fight over the White House preventing the FBI from viewing U.S. emails hacked by the Russians but obtained, copied, and given to the United States by an unnamed foreign intelligence service. Barr is set to testify before the House Judiciary Committee on March 31. He was called to testify by House Democrats, who seek answers about the Justice Department's conduct, including the scaled-back sentencing recommendation for longtime Trump associate Roger Stone and matters related to Russia and Ukraine.

Nadler asks DOJ for information and testimony to probe Roger Stone prosecution and other cases
House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler is requesting the Justice Department provide information and access to 15 individuals currently or previously employed by the DOJ who were connected to the prosecution of Roger Stone, a longtime confidant of President Donald Trump and other politically sensitive cases.
In a letter to Attorney General William Barr sent on Friday, Nadler is seeking to investigate whether these people have any knowledge about whether there was improper political intervention in either the Stone case or other cases of interest to Trump. The requests come as the Democrat-led committee prepares for Barr to testify before it on March 31.
"I write in advance of our March 31 oversight hearing in order to request information concerning improper political interference, including by President Trump, in enforcement matters handled by the Department of Justice," Nadler writes in the letter.
The judiciary chairman states that the committee's concerns include DOJ's "determination to withdraw a sentencing recommendation for President Trump's longtime associate, Roger Stone, which in turn (led) to the withdrawal of four career DOJ officials who were responsible for the case – one of which went so far as to resign from the Department."

Fox legal analyst doubts John Durham inquiry will lead to criminal charges
Fox News legal analyst Gregg Jarrett said he has serious doubts that criminal charges will emerge from U.S. Attorney John Durham's review of the Russia investigation.
While guest-hosting for Fox Business's Lou Dobbs, Jarrett asked Jason Chaffetz to react to a former colleague in Congress who said he expects indictments from the Justice Department investigation.
"Your former colleague, Congressman Doug Collins, said today that he believes the John Durham investigation into the origins of the Trump-Russia hoax and the FISA abuse and so forth will lead to criminal charges. I personally doubt that very much," Jarrett said on Thursday, before asking the former Utah congressman what he thought.
Earlier in the day, Rep. Doug Collins, the top Republican on the House Judiciary Committee, told the crowd at CPAC not to expect a report from Durham and noted how "quiet" the top Connecticut prosecutor has been. "When he's ready to charge people, he'll charge people," the Georgia congressman said.
Chaffetz, who led the House Oversight Committee from early 2015 to the summer of 2017, said he believes criminal charges are warranted "based on the information we have already seen and already know."
But he too struck a note of caution. Chaffetz said FBI Director Christopher Wray doesn't strike him as a "reformer," but Durham and Attorney General William Barr remain "our best hope."
"But I don't know," he added, before referring to a former top FBI official, Bryan Paarmann, who the DOJ inspector general found to have leaked sensitive information over the course of hundreds of communications with at least six reporters. He escaped prosecution by the Justice Department.
Chaffetz said the case "had the crystal clear evidence" and wondered if a more serious matter would see the same result.
"Even the guy in the Carter Page FISA warrant application who literally altered documents. I bet you he's going to escape too. It's my prediction," Jarrett said.
He was referring to former FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith, who altered a key document in Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act filings related to one-time Trump campaign adviser Carter Page. Clinesmith is the only person known to be under criminal investigation by Durham's team. A scathing report by DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz found 17 "significant inaccuracies and omissions" in the FBI's applications to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court to wiretap Page, who was suspected of being an agent of Russia but was never charged with wrongdoing. The Justice Department later determined that at least two of the four warrants were invalid.
In October, Fox News reported that Durham expanded the investigation, broadening his team to include additional agents and resources as the period of time they were examining expanded into 2017. Weeks later, it was revealed that Durham opened a criminal inquiry in his investigation, which gave the federal prosecutor the power to impanel a grand jury and hand down indictments.
Still, even as some close allies to President Trump raise expectations for criminal indictments of former federal law enforcement officials who had roles in the Russia investigation, Jarrett argued that the recent trend suggests otherwise.
"That's how it's going at the DOJ these days. There is no 'J' in Justice," he quipped.

Method of Execution for Federal Treason is Injection of PENTOBARBITAL
July 25, 2019
Federal Government To Resume Capital Punishment after Nearly 2 Decade Lapse
The Federal Execution Protocol Addendum, which closely mirrors protocols utilized by several states, including currently Georgia, Missouri, and Texas, replaces the three-drug procedure previously used in Federal executions with a single drug-Pentobarbital.
Since 2010, 14 states have used Pentobarbital in over 200 executions, and Federal courts, including the Supreme Court, have repeatedly upheld the use of Pentobarbital in executions as consistent with the Eighth Amendment.
Upon Attorney General Barr's direction, Acting Director Hurwitz adopted the Addendum to the Federal Execution Protocol and, in accordance with 28 C.F.R. Part 26.
Sauce: https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/federal-government-resume-capital-punishment-after-nearly-two-decade-lapse
PENTOBARBITAL: Pentobarbital, also known as pentobarbitone, is a short-acting barbiturate. In high doses, pentobarbital causes death by respiratory arrest. In the United States, the drug has been used for executions of convicted criminals.
On July 25, 2019, US Attorney General William Barr directed the Federal government to resume capital punishment after 16 years.
Pentobarbitol's old name was Nembutal, known on the streets as "Yellow Jackets" due to yellow capsule.

Adelson's puppet says for him
Sen. Rubio Urges National Security Review of Deal Between AT&T and Czech Firm, Citing China Concerns
A U.S. senator has requested the government review AT&T's upcoming sale of its stake in a European media company to a Czech investment firm, over the Czech company's links to the Chinese communist regime.
Senator Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), in a Feb. 26 letter to Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and Attorney General William Barr, urged a review by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) to consider the national security implications of AT&T's pending $1.1 billion sale to PPF Group of its stake in Central European Media Enterprises (CME Group). The sale was announced last November.
CFIUS, which sits under the Treasury Department, reviews mergers, acquisitions, and stock purchases to ensure they don't harm U.S. national security.
Rubio said in the letter that PPF Group and its CEO Petr Kellner "have a record of acting as China's proxies inside the Czech Republic."
The claim was based on revelations made by Czech daily Aktualne.cz that PPF funded a public relations firm to improve the Chinese regime's image among Czech media, politicians, and the public.
"This work included spying on Czech politicians, pressuring media to withdraw news articles critical of China, and creating a new think-tank, Sinoskop, to employ biased analysts to influence public debate," Rubio wrote.
He noted that about a third of PPF's profits come from its subsidiary Home Credit, an individual lending business in China. According to business publication Ekonom, PPF earned more than 2 billion euros (about $2.2 billion) in China in 2017.
As a result, "Mr. Kellner and his companies have supported China's malign activities abroad," Rubio wrote.
"It has come to my attention that PPF has already used its expected acquisition of CME's Czech media outlets to intimidate Czech media and politicians into silence," he said.
CME has 30 channels that reach about 45 million viewers across five countries: the Czech Republic, Bulgaria, Romania, Slovak Republic, and Slovenia.
The senator said the United States has an "interest in preserving a free and open media environment overseas as well as preventing the Chinese Communist Party from subverting these platforms in its efforts to undermine democratic norms worldwide."
The Justice Department and Treasury Department did not immediately return The Epoch Times' request for comment.

DOJ ROUND UP PART 3
IMHO these are not as big. However the "muh racist trump administration" press and leftards will not report this case.
Arrests in Four States of Racially Motivated Violent Extremists Targeting Journalists and Activists
Four racially motivated violent extremists from across the U.S. were arrested and charged today in U.S District Court in Seattle with a conspiracy to threaten and intimidate journalists and activists, the Department of Justice announced. Today's arrests and searches by the FBI and local law enforcement are being coordinated by the Department of Justice's National Security Division and the U.S. Attorney's Offices in Seattle, Tampa, Houston, and Phoenix.
"These defendants from across the country allegedly conspired on the internet to intimidate journalists and activists with whom they disagreed," said Assistant Attorney General for National Security John C. Demers. "This is not how America works. The Department of Justice will not tolerate this type of behavior."
"These defendants sought to spread fear and terror with threats delivered to the doorstep of those who are critical of their activities," said U.S. Attorney Brian T. Moran for the Western District of Washington. "As Attorney General William Barr has made clear, rooting out anti-Semitic hate and threats of violence and vigorously prosecuting those responsible are top priorities for the Department of Justice."
"The United States Attorney's Office for the Middle District of Florida and FBI-Tampa have been focused on identifying and eradicating the threat posed by the Atomwaffen Division both locally and nationally," said U.S. Attorney Maria Chapa Lopez for the Middle District of Florida. "Today's arrests send a powerful message that the Department of Justice will not tolerate criminal conduct based on hateful ideology. We will continue to work with our partners here in the Middle District of Florida, and elsewhere, to devote our resources to investigate and prosecute those who aim to threaten and terrorize our communities."
The defendants charged in the conspiracy include:
Cameron Brandon Shea, 24, of Redmond, Washington;
Kaleb Cole, 24, of Montgomery, Texas;
Taylor Ashley Parker-Dipeppe, 20, of Spring Hill, Florida, and
Johnny Roman Garza, 20, of Queen Creek, Arizona.
According to the criminal complaint, the defendants conspired via an encrypted online chat group to identify journalists and others they wanted to intimidate. { I guess it wasn't THAT encrypted}

William Barr extract:
So where does that leave us? It might not seem like it, but I am actually an optimist, and I believe that identifying the problem is the first step in correcting it.
Our nation's greatest days lie ahead, but only if we can alter our course and pay heed to the lessons of the past.
This means fostering a culture that is truly pluralistic. It means all viewpoints must be treated fairly - not simply the viewpoints favored by our cultural elites. And it especially means giving our respect to religion as a vital pillar of our society. Religion is something we should celebrate, not disparage.
This also means working to devolve democratic choice to the lowest possible level. While the wizards in Washington might think they know best, the reality is that there is no unified "best" for every community and every person in our vast country. The solution to social ills is not to exhaust ourselves devising the perfect rule for everyone; it is to let our villages, cities, and states set the rules for their communities. That allows people with principled disagreements to peaceably coexist, and prevents politics from becoming zero-sum nationwide.
And finally, this means encouraging diverse voices to speak out - whether on television, over the radio, or in print. When Tocqueville visited America, there was "scarcely a hamlet which has not its own newspaper." We need to get back to that. We need to support local journalism and local voices, and each of you needs to continue the great work you are doing.
In sum, your voices and your perspectives are essential to reversing the different trends I have discussed today. I look forward to working together to restore the separate spheres that have long sustained our society. It is not too late to stem the tide, but we need to get to work.
Thank you all for the opportunity to talk with you today.
No no thank you William for identifying and removing vendors of perpetual pain. I am looking forward to watching the unsealing of the sealed indictments and the ensuing drama.
Your tempered manner is solid and truthfully clear.
I love you.

William Barr speech extract:
The wellsprings of this system are found "in Augustinian Christianity. According to St. Augustine, man lives simultaneously in two realms. Each individual is a unique creation of God with a transcendent end and eternal life in the City of God. We are created to love our Creator in this world and become united with him in eternity. As Augustine writes in his Confessions, "You have made us for yourself, O Lord, and our heart is restless until it rests in you."
At the same time, while we work toward our eternal destiny, we live in the temporal world - the City of Man. But this world is a fallen one. Man is stubbornly imperfect and prone to prey upon his fellow man. Unless there is a temporal authority capable of restraining the wicked - an authority with power here on earth - the wicked men would overwhelm the good ones and there could be no peace."

"The Whole Situation Is Perverse" - Sam Nunberg tells His Former Boss Donald Trump to "Pardon Roger Stone!"
Back in November Sam Nunberg was on MSNBC and said that President Trump should pardon Roger Stone after he was convicted in crooked Judge Amy Berman Jackson's courtroom in front of a biased anti-Trump jury. At the time Sam didn't think Trump would pardon Stone.
Today Trump's personal assistant Sam Nunberg posted a request at Newsmax to his former employer and friend: Pardon Roger Stone!
Sam Nunberg told The Gateway Pundit that he is cautiously optimistic on the Roger Stone pardon,
"It remains to be seen. I'm cautiously optimistic but the president will face continued pushback from White House advisers, AG Barr and Republican Senators. The reality is that no one deserves a pardon more than Roger who is facing the prospect of a jail sentence that is longer than first time drug offenders and violent criminals. The whole situation is perverse."
Newsmax reported:
With the Obama appointed Judge Amy Berman Jackson's impending ruling against Roger Stone's motion for a retrial, time is of the essence for President Trump to not commute Mr. Stone's sentence, but rather, to pardon Mr. Stone.
If President Trump allows Mr. Stone to be jailed, the president will appear at best inept or impotent - and at worse both.
Heading into a re-election where his eventual socialist Democrat opponent will impugn the president as a corrupt demagogue who has bungled legislative bi-partisan opportunities on infrastructure and lowering prescription drug prices, allowing Mr. Stone to be jailed for "covering up" as Judge Jackson described at the Stone sentence, would give further credence to his opponent's narrative that the president was illegimately elected by ill-gotten gains in 2016.
While the president has both spoken and tweeted about the miscarriage of justice which Mr. Stone has faced by the Mueller Office of U.S. Special Counsel, he is surely facing opposition in both the West Wing and at the Justice Department (DOJ).
His own Attorney General William Barr, who bungled prosecution's sentencing memo submissions, has taken the insubordinate step of publicly rebuking the president's comments on the Stone prosecution, calling it a "righteous prosecution," while also threatening to resign if the president continues to tweet about ongoing investigations and prosecutions - or lack thereof.
And while the attorney general tries to hold the president at bay with the so-called "John Durham Criminal Probe," nothing in the attorney general's record up to date, whether it is the lack of indictments on Andy McCabe for lying or James Comey for the mishandling of classified information, should give either the president or his supporters any confidence that Barr will be any different than his predecessors in holding the corrupt Obama election meddlers accountable.

DOJ Blocks FBI Investigation of Clinton's SWINDLE of BILL GATES Charity Cash; Fuming Microsoft Mogul Duped Out of Untold Millions by Clinton Foundation Schemes
When FBI agents working the Clinton Foundation investigation developed intelligence that tech pioneer and philanthropist Bill Gates was beyond angry at Bill and Hillary Clinton for duping his charitable foundation out of as much as $200 million, FBI brass wanted to arrange a sit down with the Microsoft mogul.
Gates, after all, is the second wealthiest man in the United States, running a close second behind Amazon king Jeff Bezos. That is the kind of fact witness FBI agents dream about. Would Gates flip on the Clinton's and spill the beans on the millions he forked over to their sham foundation? Bad blood between Gates and the Clinton's would certainly help fortify a criminal case against the Clinton Foundation. But as Thomas Paine revealed on his Moore Paine Show on Patreon Tuesday night as well as the Thomas Paine Podcast on Wednesday - FBI agents never got the chance to pick Gates' brain. The Justice Department blocked access to Mr. Gates. (Listen to podcast below)
Just how much of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation's charity cash did the Clinton's squander for personal use and luxuries instead of charitable causes? That's a number the FBI was never truly allowed to develop. The criminal case has since been spiked by Attorney General William Barr. It appears Barr's Justice Department too was responsible for blocking the FBI from allowing Gates to talk about his reported problems with the Clinton charities. Gates - both directly through his charity foundation and through other charitable proxies he is linked to - provided the Clinton's with well over $200 million, perhaps much more. (Read more below)

Congress braces for potential surveillance debacle after Barr briefing
The attorney general also told Senate Republicans that he could take action on his own to ease Trump's concerns with FISA abuses.
Attorney General William Barr told Senate Republicans on Tuesday that the Trump administration could support a clean extension of contentious surveillance laws set to expire next month. And Barr said he could make changes on his own to satisfy President Donald Trump and his allies who have railed against the use of the law to monitor his 2016 campaign, according to senators at a party briefing.
But Barr also clashed with GOP critics of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, which has three key provisions set to lapse on March 15. And with House Democrats eyeing their own changes to the law, some Senate Republicans fear a deal to extend the law might be nearly impossible.
Republicans emerged from the lunch meeting mostly supportive of a clean extension of the law to avoid a gap; doing so is a top priority of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.).
"The attorney general just wanted to underscore again the importance of these provisions that were enacted in the wake of the 9/11 attack. They're still relevant to our effort to go after terrorists today like they were after 9/11," McConnell told reporters.
But Barr also sparred with skeptics, primarily libertarian-leaning Sens. Mike Lee of Utah and Rand Paul of Kentucky, according to two people familiar with the meeting. Barr told Lee his criticisms of surveillance law are dangerous, while Paul said Americans shouldn't be subject to secret FISA courts, one of the people said.
Lee followed up the lunch by tweeting a lengthy rebuttal to Barr's arguments in the caucus meeting.
"At the Senate GOP lunch today I made a long case against a simple reauthorization of the FISA program. Some are arguing the program needs no reform and that DOJ can put in place internal quality control mechanisms. That's not good enough," Lee said.
Lee also called for ending the call-records program and requiring more evidence for the government to conduct surveillance.
"Not everyone is in agreement that we should just leave it alone," said an attendee at the lunchr.
That comment extends across the Capitol, where House Democrats are pushing their own version of FISA reforms. On Wednesday, House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.) will begin advancing a reauthorization that would end the seizure of call records and extend roving wiretap and lone wolf surveillance authorities with some reforms.
Senate Republicans and Barr are unlikely to accept those changes anytime soon. And those dynamics have some fretting the programs will briefly expire, just as they did in 2015 when Paul and McConnell clashed over reforming the much-criticized bulk data collection program.
"I don't even know if we're going to do an extension. I think this is the beginning of the conversation. I'm not sure. Letting it lapse and then revisit it? I don't know," said Sen. Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.). A brief expiration of the law is "possible. I think that's probably what's going to happen."
Senate Republicans prefer kicking a broad FISA debate to as late as 2022, when other pieces of the law expire. In the interim, Barr would make administrative changes to address complaints from conservatives that surveillance authorities were abused during Trump's campaign - something the president continues to seethe over.
"You've got three provisions to deal with. I think it'd be smart to keep them in place. It would give us some time to work on FISA writ large, we've got three years," said Senate Judiciary Chairman Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), who is preparing hearings on FISA.

Will 4 Mysterious 'Spygate' Figures Be Emerging Soon?
Declassified With Gina Shakespeare
148K subscribers
Throughout all the twists and turns of the ever-growing Spygate scandal over the past four years, what has stood out the most has been the key roles played by four mysterious figures: Professor Joseph Mifsud, Professor Stefan Halper, FBI Special Agent Joseph Pientka and Justice Department official Bruce Ohr.
While there is an exhaustive amount of publicly available information and evidence concerning the actions of most people involved in the creation of the false Trump-Russia collusion narrative, four important figures in the story still remain as elusive and mysterious as ever.
Two of these mysterious figures are academics who appear to have long been involved in intelligence work. One is a still-serving FBI agent who appears to have played a key role in almost every major part of the agency's Crossfire Hurricane investigation. And one is still a top Department of Justice (DOJ) official, although he's been demoted several times.
Mifsud is the Maltese professor who first approached Trump campaign adviser George Papadopoulos with a supposed offer of help from the Russian government.
Mifsud has remained in hiding for more than three years, even as plenty of people have been looking to speak to him-and I don't mean just reporters. The country that Mifsud is most closely identified with recently is Italy, where he has been rumored to be hiding.
The news last October that both U.S. Attorney General William Barr and John Durham-whom Barr has tapped to investigate the origins of the Crossfire Hurricane probe-had just returned from a trip to Italy, where they had received Mifsud's phones caused shockwaves in the news media.
Far from ignoring Mifsud, as many had assumed, it appears he's a central figure in Durham's ongoing investigation.

He can only do what he can do…
The rest is up to us
"Why was Barr chosen, given his shocking and deeply criminal cover-up kingpin background?
For a presidential administration whose mandate was the eradication of corruption, the "draining of the swamp", and the restoration of law?
With the nomination of William Barr for attorney general, that is what President Donald Trump wants American citizens and the world to accept.
Fawning mainstream media coverage, and streams of puff pieces laud Barr as a "respected" establishment "legal scholar", as do Donald Trump's Twitter posts about Barr.
The fact is, there is nothing to "respect" and everything to condemn about Barr's work as a key inner circle operative throughout George Herbert Walker Bush's rise to power, from CIA Director to Vice President to President. These aspects of Barr's resume remain whitewashed by mainstream coverage. They have been amply documented by whistleblowers and those who worked directly with Barr.
The issue at hand is not Barr's "legal mind", but the ruthless mind that he wielded with frightening authority and expertise as George H. W. Bush's treasonous hatchet man in the Justice Department. William Barr distorted and corrupted the law, as grossly as anyone in modern history.
Barr: CIA operative
It is a sobering fact that American presidents (many of whom have been corrupt) have gone out of their way to hire fixers to be their attorney generals.
Consider recent history: Loretta Lynch (2015-2017), Eric Holder (2009-2015), Michael Mukasey (2007-2009), Alberto Gonzales (2005-2007), John Ashcroft (2001-2005),Janet Reno (1993-2001), Dick Thornburgh (1988-1991), Ed Meese (1985-1988), etc.
Barr, however, is a particularly spectacular and sordid case. As George H.W. Bush's most notorious insider, and as the AG from 1991 to 1993, Barr wreaked havoc, flaunted the rule of law, and proved himself to be one of the CIA/Deep State's greatest and most ruthless champions and protectors:
Barr was a full-time CIA operative, recruited by Langley out of high school, starting in 1971. Barr's youth career goal was to head the CIA.
CIA operative assigned to the China directorate, where he became close to powerful CIA operative George H.W. Bush, whose accomplishments already included the CIA/Cuba Bay of Pigs, Asia CIA operations (Vietnam War, Golden Triangle narcotics), Nixon foreign policy (Henry Kissinger), and the Watergate operation.
When George H.W. Bush became CIA Director in 1976, Barr joined the CIA's "legal office" and Bush's inner circle, and worked alongside Bush's longtime CIA enforcers Theodore "Ted" Shackley, Felix Rodriguez, Thomas Clines, and others, several of whom were likely involved with the Bay of Pigs/John F. Kennedy assassination, and numerous southeast Asian operations, from the Phoenix Program to Golden Triangle narco-trafficking.
Barr stonewalled and destroyed the Church Committee investigations into CIA abuses.
Barr stonewalled and stopped inquiries in the CIA bombing assassination of Chilean opposition leader Orlando Letelier.
Barr joined George H.W. Bush's legal/intelligence team during Bush's vice presidency (under President Ronald Reagan) Rose from assistant attorney general to Chief Legal Counsel to attorney general (1991) during the Bush 41 presidency.
Barr was a key player in the Iran-Contra operation, if not the most important member of the apparatus, simultaneously managing the operation while also "fixing" the legal end, ensuring that all of the operatives could do their jobs without fear of exposure or arrest.
In his attorney general confirmation, Barr vowed to "attack criminal organizations", drug smugglers and money launderers. It was all hot air: as AG, Barr would preserve, protect, cover up, and nurture the apparatus that he helped create, and use Justice Department power to escape punishment.
Barr stonewalled and stopped investigations into all Bush/Clinton and CIA crimes, including BCCI and BNL CIA drug banking, the theft of Inslaw/PROMIS software, and all crimes of state committed by Bush.
Barr provided legal cover for Bush's illegal foreign policy and war crimes.
Barr left Washington, and went through the "rotating door" to the corporate world, where he took on numerous directorships and counsel positions for major companies. In 2007 and again from 2017, Barr was counsel for politically-connected international law firm Kirkland & Ellis. Among its other notable attorneys and alumni are Kenneth Starr, John Bolton, Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, and numerous Trump administration attorneys. K&E's clients include sex trafficker/pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, and Mitt Romney's Bain Capital.
A strong case can be made that William Barr was as powerful and important a figure in the Bush apparatus as any other, besides Poppy Bush himself."

Senate Republicans will get a chance to convince Barr to stay over lunch next week
Attorney General William Barr will join Senate Republicans at their weekly lunch as they work to keep President Trump's top Justice Department official in position.
Barr's frustrations with Trump's public comments on Justice Department business came to a boil this week, with the Justice chief telling ABC News that Trump's tweets made it "impossible" for him to do his job.
Senior GOP senators worried about losing a deft political ally have put pressure on the White House to take the issue seriously, charging that lawmakers are unlikely to confirm a replacement before the end of the year if Barr does indeed leave.
A source familiar with the planning told Politico that Barr's lunch invite, where the scheduled discussion is on a soon-to-expire provision of the Patriot Act that allows for bulk collection of metadata from cell phone records, and his acceptance, came "weeks ago." Barr supports the measure, known as Section 215, arguing that it supports U.S. counterterrorism surveillance efforts.
But the session could easily turn to Barr's job satisfaction.
Barr has faced criticism over the Justice Department's move to change Roger Stone's sentencing recommendation, which the DOJ insists was decided before Trump tweeted his criticism. Stone, a longtime Trump ally and Republican operative, was charged with lying to Congress and witness tampering.

White House plans 5G summit with global tech leaders as battle with Huawei continues
The Trump administration is planning a 5G summit with global tech leaders in April at the White House, officials said.
The meeting is part of the White House's efforts to keep Chinese telecom giant Huawei from becoming dominant in next generation communications technology.
Behind the scenes, tech executives such as Microsoft President Brad Smith have been meeting with Trump to discuss maintaining American communications dominance.
The Trump administration is planning a 5G summit at the White House in early April as part of its global effort to ensure that Chinese telecom giant Huawei does not become dominant in next generation communications technologies, officials told CNBC.
The event has not been officially announced yet. The president's top economic advisor, Larry Kudlow, told reporters Friday that such a meeting would happen.
"We're going to have a lot of them in the White House to have a discussion. I'm sure the president will join us in part. That would include Samsung, that would include all of our guys," Kudlow said.
The development comes at a crucial moment for U.S.-Chinese relations. China, which is grappling with the coronavirus outbreak, last month signed a "phase one" trade deal with Trump as both sides look to complete additional phases.
Behind the scenes, a senior administration official said telecom and technology CEOs have been visiting with President Donald Trump at the White House to explain their views on how to make sure that American firms continue to dominate the communications industry.
Particularly influential in shaping White House thinking has been Microsoft President Brad Smith, who has discussed the issue face to face with Trump.
"We've been working with him," the senior administration official said of Smith. "He spoke to POTUS about a month ago and they saw each other in Davos."
The input of Smith and other tech CEOs who have met with the president has helped shape an emerging view that the 5G issue is as much about software as it is about physical infrastructure.
"They're smarter than we are, and they're patriots," the official said of the CEOs. "They want to help the U.S. be in the lead on 5G. Software and the cloud are going to revolutionize infrastructure."
The upcoming 5G summit is intended to gather information from the tech industry to help the White House press its case with allied countries that they should not allow Huawei equipment into their telecommunications networks. The administration fears that the Chinese government has installed "back doors" in the gear that will allow for spying on sensitive communications.
Despite pressure from the U.S., the U.K. has decided to allow Huawei equipment in its 5G networks.
The White House plans to invite foreign companies based in allied countries, including Nokia, Ericsson and Samsung, the official said.
Attorney General William Barr suggested earlier this month that the United States should go as far as purchasing a controlling stake in Nokia and Ericsson in order to provide a safe harbor for non Chinese telecommunications equipment.
But other officials within the White House quickly shot that idea down privately, worrying that it was inappropriate for taxpayers to buy large stakes in private firms.

What a coincidence again. Also pay attention it was Washington Post who first reported Barr was considering resignation. Washington Post is known for quoting "anonymous sources" who don't actually exist, in other words they are making up stories. It's also owned by Jeff Bezos who absolutely hates Donald J Trump.
More than 1,100 former Department of Justice employees have signed an online petition demanding Attorney General William Barr resign over his handling of the Roger Stone case. The letter states that all DOJ lawyers are "well-versed" in the department's rules and the proposition that political interference in the conduct of a criminal prosecution is "anathema to the department's core mission" and to its "sacred obligation" to ensure equal justice under the law. "And yet," the letter states, "President Trump and Attorney General Barr have openly and repeatedly flouted this fundamental principle, most recently in connection with the sentencing of President Trump's close associate, Roger Stone, who was convicted of serious crimes."
Four prosecutors had originally recommended a seven- to nine-year term for Trump's friend after he was convicted of lying to Congress and obstruction-but then DOJ stepped in and said that was too harsh. "Mr. Barr's actions in doing the President's personal bidding unfortunately speak louder than his words," the letter said, referring to Barr's recent comments about how the president's tweets make his job harder. "Those actions, and the damage they have done to the Department of Justice's reputation for integrity and the rule of law, require Mr. Barr to resign."

Attorney General Barr Considers Making it Easier to Sue Big Tech Companies
Attorney General William Barr recently spoke out against a crucial law that currently protects most of the Big Tech companies from legal action over deplatforming, according to The Daily Caller. At a Department of Justice workshop on Wednesday, Barr said that he believes Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act needs to be changed, since "the internet has evolved significantly since [it] was passed." While the law was "vital to protecting new technology in its incipiency," Barr said, the internet has since "become essential to people's daily lives, often serving as the primary conduit for how we receive and share information." He added that "no longer are tech companies the underdog upstarts. They have become titans of U.S. industry."
Barr's criticisms echo the rhetoric of several rising stars on the Right who have been calling for an overhaul of the rules regarding Big Tech's accountability for free expression and censorship, including Senator Josh Hawley (R-Mo.). There have been numerous bipartisan investigations opened up into Big Tech practices across the country, including a vast majority of state attorneys general, the Department of Justice, the Federal Trade Commission, and the United States Congress.

Strange scenes at Roger Stone's sentencing raise even more questions about William Barr
Official Washington has been consumed over the past week with the drama at the Justice Department. Attorney General William P. Barr is increasingly embattled thanks to President Trump's heavy-handed approach to DOJ business, in which Barr has unsuccessfully urged Trump to stop meddling.
The scenes in a courtroom Thursday - where Stone was ultimately sentenced to 40 months in prison - only heightened the drama. And they raised more questions about what in the world is happening inside Barr's DOJ.
Barr intervened last week to overrule career prosecutors' tough seven- to nine-year sentencing recommendation for Trump ally Roger Stone - shortly after Trump tweeted in opposition to the recommended sentence. That prompted the four prosecutors on the case to withdraw. Then came a more watered-down recommendation, which was signed by the prosecutor now leading the charge for the Justice Department, Assistant U.S. Attorney John Crabb. But at Stone's sentencing hearing on Thursday, Crabb sounded a very different tone. He repeatedly appeared to push the recommendation in the direction of the initial prosecutors' harsher one, arguing for enhancements that the more recent memo suggested were unnecessary or unsubstantiated.
For instance, Crabb pushed for an enhancement because Stone's obstruction of justice succeeded. The latest sentencing recommendation, though, argued that such an enhancement would be duplicative because "it is unclear to what extent the defendant's obstructive conduct actually prejudiced the government at trial." The judge, Amy Berman Jackson, granted the enhancement.
In another instance, Crabb seemed to pretty explicitly argue that the initial recommendation was still in effect.
Perhaps the most remarkable moment, though, came when the judge eventually tried to reconcile Crabb's performance with his name having been on the updated sentencing recommendation, which he didn't seem to be pushing.
The scenes will heighten suspicions about what's happening behind the scenes in the Justice Department. Some suggested that Crabb was perhaps making a statement by reverting to the arguments in the first recommendation. If that's not the case, though, the fact that he did move in that direction suggests that this whole drama was somewhat pointless in the first place. If the Justice Department was just going to argue the same points from the first recommendation, why overrule the sentencing recommendation and make it look like Trump was dictating how his Justice Department prosecuted his ally? Jackson asked whether he had actually written the memo; Crabb again declined to elaborate on what has happened within the Justice Department. When she pressed, he even left open the possibility that he was directed to write it ... by someone.

Roger Stone sentenced to 40 months as possible retrial or pardon looms
Judge Amy Berman Jackson sentenced Roger Stone to 40 months in prison Thursday after the Justice Department recommended a nearly decade long sentence last week before Attorney General William Barr controversially intervened and walked it back. But two big questions remained unresolved: the Republican operative's pending request for a retrial as well as speculation about a pardon from President Trump, who tweeted a segment from Tucker Carlson's show on Fox News calling for a Stone pardon early Thursday morning.
Stone's lawyers filed a motion for a retrial last week following revelations that the jury forewoman during his trial had a social media history of anti-Trump posts, and the judge hasn't ruled on that yet. If Stone's long shot challenge is successful, his sentence would be tossed, and the DOJ would have to try him again. The judge shot down a similar previous request. The DOJ's D.C. office told the court last Monday it recommended Stone receive up to nine years behind bars, but Trump tweeted late that night that he "cannot allow this miscarriage of justice!" The DOJ reversed itself Tuesday, and the four line prosecutors on the case withdrew. The DOJ said its decision was made before Barr was aware of Trump's position, and Trump denied placing pressure on the agency. The department walked back the "unduly high" sentence recommendation, suggesting three to four years instead but leaving it up to the judge.
In response, more than a thousand ex-DOJ prosecutors from Republican and Democratic administrations, including Democratic donors, officials named in the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act abuse report, CNN and MSNBC analysts, and a lawyer for Fusion GPS, signed a petition calling on Barr to resign because of the "damage" he'd done to the DOJ's reputation. "Congratulations to Attorney General Bill Barr for taking charge of a case that was totally out of control and perhaps should not have even been brought," Trump tweeted about Stone last week. The message prompted Barr to push back against Trump publicly last Thursday. "I have a problem with some of, some of the tweets," he said, adding that Trump's public commentary about the DOJ's ongoing cases "make it impossible for me to do my job." "The Stone case was prosecuted while I was attorney general - and I supported it," Barr added. "I thought that was a righteous prosecution. And I was happy that he was convicted."
Stone, a self-described "dirty trickster" and longtime confidant to Trump, was swept up in special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation and arrested last January. He was found guilty in November on five separate counts of lying to the House Intelligence Committee during its investigation into Russian interference about his alleged outreach to WikiLeaks, in addition to one count that he "corruptly influenced, obstructed, and impeded" the congressional investigation and another for attempting to "corruptly persuade" a witness's congressional testimony.
The controversy surrounding Stone juror Tomeka Hart, a former Democratic congressional candidate, kicked into high gear when it was revealed she shared anti-Trump posts on social media, and Stone's lawyers filed a motion for a retrial last week. Hart tweeted about Trump dozens of times and was critical of the president and his supporters, with some comments regarding the targets of Mueller's investigation. Hart's tweets include a few about Russian interference and allegations of Trump-Russia collusion. "Ignoring the numerous indictments, guilty pleas, and convictions of people in 45's inner-circle, some Republicans are asserting that the Mueller investigation was a waste of time because he hasn't found evidence of…" Hart wrote in a March 2019 tweet. A transcript of the under-oath examination of the jury pool in November shows Hart promised to make her judgment based on the facts. Stone's lawyers did not move to strike Hart from the pool at the time.
Jackson said she'd rule on the retrial motion after sentencing. She previously presided over a number of other spinoff cases from Mueller's two-year investigation, including against former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort, former Trump campaign deputy turned government witness Rick Gates, and former Obama White House counsel Greg Craig.

Bill Barr's threat to resign has already compromised his credibility to do his job: Ex-FBI official
On Wednesday, former FBI counterintelligence official Frank Figliuzzi suggested that Attorney General William Barr has already compromised his position enough by putting out his threat to resign, that he might as well go through with it - or be fired.
"If there is a pardon that further undermines justice that was made out by career prosecutors so much so that - so tainted, so contaminated that four career prosecutors quit the case, would a pardon necessity a resignation from the attorney general?" asked host Nicolle Wallace.
"I think we've already answered this question. It's rhetorical," said Figliuzzi. "This has to be run through the Justice Department. Barr had a chance to say no to the pardons. And I don't think he's going to do it."
"I got a good piece of advice one time moving up the career ranks in the FBI," continued Figliuzzi. "One of my mentors said to me, 'Frank, if any agent walks in your office and says he's thinking about resigning, take his badge and wish him well.' The point being, we're not in a role that you can simultaneously do while you're thinking about maybe resigning or retiring. You need to go, and Trump should do the same thing with Barr. If you're thinking about being the attorney general, and whether you should be in a role, you should go."

In Defense Of Bill Barr
In the story by Franz Kafka, "In the Penal Colony," an officer was standing next to a lethal punishing machine. When asked about his qualifications, he explained simply, "My guiding principle is this: Guilt is never to be doubted." It seems many in Washington can claim the same Kafkaesque qualification this week when it comes to Attorney General William Barr.
After a Justice Department sentencing recommendation was withdrawn and replaced in the case of Roger Stone, Senator Elizabeth Warren said, "If that guy will not resign, then the House should start impeachment proceedings against him." Not to be outdone, Representative Maxine Waters declared, "Bill Barr should not only be disBarred, but he, Donald Trump, and Roger Stone should be sharing a jail cell."
What is most astonishing about the calls for impeachment, incarceration, and disbarment is that they ignore any countervailing information other than raw political manipulation of the Justice Department. Even more importantly, they ignore even the slightest possibility that the Justice Department may have done the right thing for the right reason.

I've got to dig into this but is Lindsey reverting your his old ways? If true, I can't trust him. I was overjoyed to see his defense of Kavanaugh, but I suspect he has to many Ukrainians in his closet
If Sen. Lindsey Graham gets his way, the federal government will launch another attack on online privacy. The South Carolina Republican will ask lawmakers to give Attorney General William Barr and the Department of Justice unchecked access to all of your messaging, file-sharing, and video-sharing tools. That is bad news for just about everyone and a nightmare for those who value digital privacy.
At first glance, Graham's bill seems innocent enough. After all, it's called the Eliminating Abusive and Rampant Neglect of Interactive Technologies Act, which seems, on the surface, like a perfectly agreeable proposition. It would assemble a commission to "develop recommended best practices for providers of interactive computer services regarding the prevention of online child exploitation conduct."
Doesn't everyone want children to be protected? Well, not so fast. The commission's "recommendations" would then go to the attorney general, who can approve or disapprove what are essentially new regulations. This means unelected officials would be granted vast power to regulate technology and invade our privacy.
It doesn't stop there.
These days, most anti-tech legislation targets Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, and this bill is no different. The law would take away Section 230 protections from any internet service that doesn't comply with the new commission's "recommendations," which is what makes them de facto regulations. Without Section 230 protections, it would be impossible to operate services used by millions every day, such as WhatsApp and iMessage.
Graham's bill undermines Section 230, the law that created the free internet as we know it.
In short, it generally protects platforms from being held liable for third-party content. For instance, if a user creates a comment or post with illegal content on a site, that platform won't be held responsible. Before Section 230, that was a serious risk for platforms, but, after the law's passage in 1996, websites were empowered to experiment and innovate. And this simple protection created safe spaces for many movements to flourish online, from revolutions against tyrants in foreign countries to viral social movements here in the United States.
But under Graham's bill, companies that fail to comply with the "best practices" created by the proposed commission would be punished for any "child abuse and exploitation-related material" posted by third parties. Of course, what that means exactly is so vague that it would merely be a standard ripe for government abuse.
Worse, even without using the word "encryption" once, the bill would effectively mean the end of end-to-end encryption.

DEEP STATE GETS COLD FEET: Emergency Meeting of Federal Judges Over Barr and Trump Indefinitely Postponed After Group Called Out by Trump
The 'emergency meeting' of federal judges to discuss the intervention by Attorney General William Barr in the sentencing of Roger Stone and President Trump's criticism of the proposed sentence was indefinitely postponed Wednesday. The teleconference meeting of the leadership of the 1,100 member Federal Judges Association, comprised of sitting federal judges, was originally set for Tuesday, then was put off a day until Wednesday at 1:30 p.m. EST. The group's president, Judge Cynthia Rufe (a Bush 43 appointee), had initially said the meeting "could not wait" until the FJA annual meeting in April.
In the interim President Trump called out the judges in a tweet Tuesday evening that urged them to look into the FISA fraud perpetrated on the federal courts to spy on and investigate his presidential campaign and administration.
Judge Cynthia Rufe, President of the Federal Judges Association, file image via YouTube, September 23, 2014.
Excerpt from CNN report on the postponement:
A group of federal judges hastily postponed an emergency meeting that was scheduled to take place Wednesday to discuss concerns about President Donald Trump and the Justice Department's intervention in politically charged cases.
Megan Cruz, the executive director of the Federal Judges Association, said the meeting was set to occur Wednesday afternoon and the group was considering whether to issue a statement afterwards. But later in the day, Cruz said that the conference call between the 14 judges who serve as officers on the Executive Committee had been postponed.
Cruz offered no further details and did not respond to questions asking whether the group had been asked to reschedule the meeting...
Trump's Tuesday tweet about the meeting, "I hope the Federal Judges Association will discuss the tremendous FISA Court abuse that has taken place with respect to the Mueller Investigation Scam, including the forging of documents and knowingly using the fake and totally discredited Dossier before the Court. Thank you!"
Excerpt from the USA Today article that first reported on the emergency meeting:
(...Velma White, an aide to the judge, said the meeting is set for 1:30 p.m. Wednesday. USA TODAY had previously reported that the meeting would take place Tuesday....)
A national association of federal judges has called an emergency meeting Tuesday to address growing concerns about the intervention of Justice Department officials and President Donald Trump in politically sensitive cases, the group's president said Monday.

FEDS Fume About NO Grand Jury in Durham's FBI Abuse Probe
Justice department insiders are fuming at internal reports that there has been NO grand jury conveyned as part of Connecticut U.S. Attorney John Durham's probe of the FBI's alleged illegal FISA violations and spying on President Trump's campaign.
And many Feds are not happy, especially since Barr just gifted Andrew McCabe a get-out-of-jail-free card last week for lying (4 times) to the FBI. Durham was tapped by U.S. Attorney General William Barr in May to investigate FBI-related breaches, yet FBI insiders said Durham has not presented any evidence to a grand jury. Thomas Paine detailed the controversial revelations on today's Thomas Paine Podcast and the Moore Paine Show on Tuesday night. (Listen Below)
"This should be in the grand jury phase, especially because the Inspector General did much of the ground work," one Justice official said. "They might be running out the clock on this like (the) 2016 Hillary investigation. It's been 10 months and Durham had a hell of a head start from the I.G. There can be no indictment without a grand jury so whatever the rumors are in the press, that's a non-negotiable fact."

Attorney General William Barr said the discussion was part of a "holistic approach" the department is taking toward the tech industry, in addition to the Antitrust Division's efforts.
Barr questioned if Section 230?s immunity still makes sense in a world where a small number of tech companies have massive scale and host a large amount of public discourse.
Attorney General William Barr took aim Wednesday at a key legal protection for the tech industry, calling into question whether it is still needed as a small number of key tech players have reached a massive size and scale.
Besides questions of anticompetitive behavior, Barr said at a Department of Justice workshop, the agency is considering what a concentrated tech market means for a legal immunity originally created to help small start-ups thrive.

DOJ pushes back at reports Barr considered quitting over Trump tweets
The Justice Department pushed back Tuesday night at multiple reports claiming Attorney General William Barr told people close to him he's considering stepping down over President Trump's tweets, days after Barr admitted that Trump's tweeting made it "'impossible for me to do my job."
"Addressing Beltway rumors: The Attorney General has no plans to resign," DOJ spokeswoman Kerri Kupec tweeted.
Barr "has his limits," one person familiar with Barr's thinking told The Washington Post. Its report suggested that Barr wanted Trump to "get the message" to stop weighing in publicly in ongoing criminal cases. An administration official gave a similar admission on Barr to The Associated Press.
Barr, speaking to ABC News last week, also denied ever acting on improper influence from Trump or the White House. White House officials told the Post that the president had no plans to stop tweeting about Justice Department cases. He insisted he had a "legal right" to make his voice heard on criminal cases.
The White House did not immediately comment on the Tuesday night reports.
Trump tweeted Tuesday he's considering suing those involved in former Special Counsel Robert Mueller's Russia investigation and said his confidant Roger Stone deserved a new trial after being convicted of witness tampering, obstruction and lying to Congress during the Mueller probe. Hours later, a Justice Department official revealed prosecutors had filed a sealed motion in court arguing the opposite, and that they had Barr's approval to do so.
Last week, Trump, in a late-night tweet, criticized a federal prosecutor's earlier recommendation that that Stone should be sentenced to seven to nine years in prison. Soon afterward, DOJ leaders adjusted the sentencing recommendation downward, saying it was clearly excessive given Stone's obstruction-related offenses. All four prosecutors on the case stepped down within hours.

Comey urges Barr to put DOJ reputation above 'angry, vindictive president'
Former FBI Director James Comey called on Attorney General William Barr to place the reputation of the Justice Department above the wishes of President Trump. "I have heard Barr say he doesn't care about his legacy. Maybe not, but he should care about the reservoir," Comey wrote in an opinion piece published by the Washington Post on Tuesday. "The people of [the Justice Department] depend upon it. He should care enough about them - and the rest of us - to protect this vital American asset. The reputation of the Justice Department is more important than any of us, even an angry, vindictive president."
Barr has come under intense criticism since he intervened in the case of longtime Trump confidant Roger Stone, reversing course on a heavy sentencing recommendation. Democrats have accused Barr of acting more like Trump's personal lawyer than as the country's top law enforcement official.
This, Comey argued, does a disservice to the men and women who answer to the attorney general. "It is a hugely diverse collection of people who all depend on the same thing - an amazing gift they received on joining the department," Comey said. "It is a gift they might not have noticed until the first time they stood up and identified themselves as a Justice employee and said something - whether in a courtroom, a conference room or at a cookout - and found that total strangers believed what they said next."
Trump has routinely accused Comey and other FBI officials of harboring disdain for him and opening a counterintelligence investigation into his 2016 campaign out of political bias. He routinely derided that inquiry as a "witch hunt." Trump fired Comey in May 2017, after which Comey compared the president to a "mob boss." Comey's conduct as FBI director has been criticized in multiple DOJ inspector general reports but, so far, has not been charged with any crimes.

ABC News:
Just hours after President Donald Trump openly defied his public pleas to stop tweeting about criminal matters in the Justice Department, Attorney General Bill Barr told people close to Trump Tuesday that he is considering resigning over the tweets that Barr had previously told ABC News make it "impossible" to do his job, sources tell ABC News.
...In an exclusive interview with ABC News last week, Barr had warned Trump that his tweets about the DOJ, in particular the sentencing process of his former long-time advisor Roger Stone, were disrupting his ability to manage the department.
"I'm not going to be bullied or influenced by anybody." Barr said. "Whether it's Congress, newspaper editorial boards, or the president. I'm gonna do what I think is right. And, you know, the, I think the - I cannot do my job here at the department with a constant background commentary that undercuts me."
The AP:
Attorney General William Barr has told people close to him he's considering quitting his post after President Donald Trump wouldn't heed his warning to stop tweeting about Justice Department cases, an administration official told The Associated Press...
The Washington Post, which broke the story, headlined: "Barr has told those close to Trump he is considering quitting over the president's tweets about Justice Dept. investigations"
Attorney General William P. Barr has told people close to President Trump - both inside and outside the White House - that he is considering quitting over Trump's tweets about Justice Department investigations, three administration officials said, foreshadowing a possible confrontation between the president and his attorney general over the independence of the Justice Department.
So far, Trump has defied Barr's requests, both public and private, to keep quiet on matters of federal law enforcement. It was not immediately clear Tuesday if Barr had made his posture known directly to Trump.
The administration officials said Barr seemed to be sharing his position with advisers in hopes the president would get the message that he should stop weighing in publicly on the Justice Department's ongoing criminal investigations.
"He has his limits," said one person familiar with Barr's thinking, speaking on the condition of anonymity, like others, to discuss internal deliberations.
...Some people familiar with Barr's thinking cautioned that he would not make a hasty decision to leave, and it is unclear what precisely would trigger him to take such a dramatic step...
President Trump spoke to reporters earlier Tuesday about Barr as he prepared to board Air Force One at Joint Base Andrews outside Washington, D.C. for a four day West Coast trip for campaigning and official business.

Justice Department picks US attorney to oversee all Ukraine (1 of 2)
A U.S. attorney has been designated to oversee all Ukraine-related investigations by federal prosecutors around the country. The Justice Department revealed on Tuesday that Richard Donoghue, the U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of New York, was assigned to the task by Deputy Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen. Donoghue will "assist in coordinating ... several open matters being handled by different U.S. Attorney's Offices and Department components that in some way potentially relate to Ukraine according to a letter sent to the House Judiciary Committee. Donoghue, a St. John's University School of Law graduate and Army Judge Advocate General Corps veteran, spent more than a decade as an assistant U.S. attorney and was working as the chief litigation counsel for a global tech company before becoming a U.S. attorney in 2018. "The Deputy Attorney General implemented this policy to avoid duplication of efforts across Department offices and components, to facilitate information sharing, to ensure there are no conflicts among potentially overlapping matters, and to efficiently marshal the resources of the Department," Assistant Attorney General Stephen Boyd told House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler in the letter. Boyd told the New York Democrat that "the Department typically does not provide information relating to ongoing matters," but decided to weigh in "to clarify the record" following "news reports and public comments from Members of Congress that have significantly distorted the public's understanding of the Department's handling of such cases."
Earlier this month, Attorney General William Barr confirmed the Justice Department would assess information from Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani's Ukraine-related investigations into former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter. "We had established an intake process in the field so that any information coming in about Ukraine could be carefully scrutinized by the department and its intelligence community partners," Barr said. "That is true for any information that comes to the department related to the Ukraine, including any information Mr. Giuliani might provide." Barr said, "the DOJ has the obligation to have an open door to anybody who wishes to provide us information that they think is relevant" but noted, "We can't take anything we receive from the Ukraine at face value."
Democrats accused Trump of improperly pressuring Ukraine for political dirt on Biden and others in exchange for foreign aid, using Giuliani to conduct shadow diplomacy outside of normal channels by meeting with Ukrainians to conduct research on alleged corruption. After the Senate acquitted Trump on impeachment charges of Ukraine-related abuse of power and obstruction of Congress in early February, Giuliani said he was "ramping up" his investigations into the Bidens. Barr was dismayed to discover Trump grouped him in with Giuliani during the controversial phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky last July, which led to a whistleblower complaint and later impeachment. Trump said Giuliani could help Ukraine investigate the Bidens.

Trump said Giuliani could help Ukraine investigate the Bidens. "I will have Mr. Giuliani give you a call, and I am also going to have Attorney General Barr call, and we will get to the bottom of it," Trump told Zelensky, according to a transcript of the call released by the White House. During the call, immediately after Zelensky expressed interest in purchasing anti-tank weaponry known as Javelins, Trump asked Zelensky "to do us a favor though" - to look into a CrowdStrike conspiracy theory and possible Ukrainian election interference in 2016. Trump later urged Zelensky to investigate "the other thing," referring to allegations of corruption related to the Bidens.
The assistant attorney general confirmed Tuesday that Scott Brady, the U.S. attorney for the Western District of Pennsylvania, was assigned by Rosen "to assist in the receipt, processing, and preliminary analysis of new information provided by the public that may be relevant to matters relating to Ukraine." In a likely reference to Giuliani, Boyd said this was to "protect the integrity of ongoing matters, particularly with respect to unsolicited information offered to the Department."

William Barr's Connection To Ruby Ridge, Defending FBI Snipers
he Senate Judiciary Committee hearings for Attorney General nominee William Barr have focused heavily on Barr's views on Special Counsel Robert Mueller. But nobody is asking about Barr's legal crusade for blanket immunity for federal agents who killed American citizens.
Barr received a routine questionnaire from the Judiciary Committee asking him to disclose his past work including pro bono activities "serving the disadvantaged." The "disadvantaged" that Barr spent the most time helping was an FBI agent who slayed an Idaho mother holding her baby in 1992. Barr spent two weeks organizing former Attorneys General and others to support "an FBI sniper in defending against criminal charges in connection with the Ruby Ridge incident." Barr also "assisted in framing legal arguments advanced... in the district court and the subsequent appeal to the Ninth Circuit," he told the committee.
I'm confused. (From 2019)

The meeting comes on the heels of a letter signed by over 1,000 former Justice Department Deep State operatives calling on Barr to resign for overruling the punitive sentence of 7-9 years in prison proposed by federal prosecutors for Stone. The four prosecutors in the case resigned in protest over Barr's intervention.
Judge Jackson will preside over a phone hearing in the Stone case on Tuesday. Stone has asked for a new trial after it was reported last week the foreman of the jury that convicted him is a virulent anti-Trump Democrat who posted about Stone's case.

Left-Wing Group Organized Barr Attack Letter
The letter is just another destroy-Trump mission funded by leftists to deceive and inflame the public.
The headline sounded ominous: "Former Justice Dept. Lawyers Press for Barr to Step Down," blared an article in Sunday's New York Times. More than 1,100 former federal prosecutors signed a letter to condemn Attorney General William Barr and encourage Justice Department employees to tattle on the nation's top lawman if they see anything naughty.
The lawyers were outraged at Barr's decision to override "line prosecutors," including two holdovers from the Robert Mueller investigation, who had recommended an excessive sentence against Roger Stone. "Barr's actions in doing the President's personal bidding unfortunately speak louder than his words," they wrote. "Those actions, and the damage they have done to the Department of Justice's reputation for integrity and the rule of law, require Mr. Barr to resign."
Times reporter Katie Benner, trying to make the stunt look like a legitimate grassroots effort, attributed the letter to Protect Democracy, which she described as a "nonprofit legal group." But Protect Democracy is not an organic activist group spontaneously created by high-minded legal experts alarmed by Trump's alleged flouting of the rule of law. Protect Democracy was launched in early 2017 as part of an extensive anti-Trump operation managed by a leftwing tech billionaire: Pierre Omidyar, the founder of eBay. This is who is behind Protect Democracy and a number of other nonprofits formed to destroy the president.
In 2018, according to the group's most recent tax filing, Protect Democracy collected nearly $7 million in donations; Omidyar's most politically-active nonprofit, Democracy Fund, has donated $2 million since 2017. Democracy Fund is spending tens of millions each year to underwrite dozens of anti-Trump projects. "Over the past two years, I have seen alarming and sometimes unprecedented violations of our country's democratic norms," Joe Goldman, the fund's president, wrote in 2018.
Protect Democracy houses a number of former Democratic staffers-including a former aide to U.S. Representative Adam Schiff (D-Calif.)-and Obama White House alumni. Ricki Seidman, last seen advising Christine Blasey Ford, is a director for Protect Democracy.

So what has happened since Q said this?
1) This week:

-Jussie Smollett indicted with 6 charges for his Hoax of hate crimes.
2) - Justice Department launches legal assault to roll back sanctuary cities
-AG Barr announced that Giuliani had turned over to them investigative information about Ukraine corruption with former Administration.
3) - -Trump goes on a twitter spree highlighting that nothing ever happened to the crimes Tony Podesta did.
-Trump torches corrupt Judge Berman Jackson about injustices about Manafort but game HRC a pass.
-Michael Avenatti found guilty of all charges today.
4) -Roger Stone Sentencing evaluated by AG Barr as being outrageous (9 years? For lying to congress? Rape Is only 3~5 years) and the 4 corrupt Mueller investigators all resigned.
5) - "I'm here to announce the indictment of Chinese military hackers... for breaking into the computer systems of the credit-reporting agency Equifax, and for stealing the sensitive personal information of nearly half of all American citizens."-AG Barr
6) -Trump WH fires Alexander Vindman
-Trump WH fires Gordon Sondland
-Trump NSC (national security council) removes 70 former Obama hold overs, with maybe even more coming.
7) -Graham sent a letter to Attorney General William Barr on Friday asking that he make 17 officials, many of whom are identified only by title, available for interviews.
8) -Durham Scrutinizing John Brennan's Handling of Russian Interference in 2016
9) - A.G. Barr Installs Outside Prosecutor to Review Case Against @GenFlynn.

"Barr's actions in doing the President's personal bidding unfortunately speak louder than his words," they wrote. "Those actions, and the damage they have done to the Department of Justice's reputation for integrity and the rule of law, require Mr. Barr to resign."
Times reporter Katie Benner, trying to make the stunt look like a legitimate grassroots effort, attributed the letter to Protect Democracy, which she described as a "nonprofit legal group." But Protect Democracy is not an organic activist group spontaneously created by high-minded legal experts alarmed by Trump's alleged flouting of the rule of law. Protect Democracy was launched in early 2017 as part of an extensive anti-Trump operation managed by a leftwing tech billionaire: Pierre Omidyar, the founder of eBay. This is who is behind Protect Democracy and a number of other nonprofits formed to destroy the president.
In 2018, according to the group's most recent tax filing, Protect Democracy collected nearly $7 million in donations; Omidyar's most politically-active nonprofit, Democracy Fund, has donated $2 million since 2017. Democracy Fund is spending tens of millions each year to underwrite dozens of anti-Trump projects. "Over the past two years, I have seen alarming and sometimes unprecedented violations of our country's democratic norms," Joe Goldman, the fund's president, wrote in 2018.
Protect Democracy houses a number of former Democratic staffers-including a former aide to U.S. Representative Adam Schiff (D-Calif.)-and Obama White House alumni. Ricki Seidman, last seen advising Christine Blasey Ford, is a director for Protect Democracy.
Several NeverTrumpers also are involved with Protect Democracy; National Review columnists Mona Charen and Linda Chavez, ABC News pundit Matthew Dowd, and failed presidential candidate Evan McMullin serve as advisors. As I've reported before, Omidyar is the sugar daddy for many NeverTrump outlets. The Bulwark, the offshoot of the shuttered Weekly Standard, is partially funded by Omidyar: Charlie Sykes, the Bulwark's editor-in-chief, serves on the board of Democracy Fund.
Omidyar also funds Republicans for the Rule of Law, headed by Bill Kristol; Lawfare, a central peddler of Russian collusion hoax propaganda; R Street, home to disgraced FBI lawyer James Baker; and Stand-Up Republic, headed by McMullin. All have been on the attack against Trump and Barr.
The letter dominated social media on Sunday; #FormerJusticeDept trended most of the day. Other news outlets picked up Benner's misleading account of the stunt. But despite what the Times and other reporters want the public to believe, it was far from authentic-just another Destroy Trump mission funded by leftists to deceive and inflame the public.

Q Research General #10459: Shall We Play A Game Over? Edition
Attorney General William Barr 'now focused on something much bigger'
Attorney General William Barr has a large operation underway to take down "deep state bureaucrats."
That's what Fox News host Sean Hannity told his audience Friday night, capping a tumultuous week for the Justice Department that involved upheaval in the Roger Stone case, former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe escaping criminal charges, news of an outside prosecutor being picked to review the case against retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn.
"We are now beginning to see something very large unfold," Hannity said on his show Friday. "Roger Stone's attorneys have filed a motion for a new trial. That is a major development. That should be granted. And, by the way, it should be the beginning of Stone's ultimate vindication. We have more good news. McCabe's dismissal is frankly - when you really look at it, it's a declination to prosecute on one specific issue. Here is my read between that and the Gen. Flynn news today because we know that Barr just installed an outside counsel to look into the Gen. Flynn case."
"I'm reading the tea leaves here and my sources confirming, the same sources that I've been using for you and getting the story right for three years, that the Attorney General Bill Barr is now focused on something much bigger, much deeper, that will have far ranging ramifications, serious ramifications for that 1% that abused power. That 1% involved in the corruption, those deep state bureaucrats who abused their power, because, as we speak, the Durham-Barr criminal probe is underway," Hannity continued, referring to U.S. Attorney John Durham's inquiry into the origins of the Russia investigation.
"I've been told by my sources that, in fact, it has gone deep. It has gone wide. It has gone far. And the evidence they are accumulating is overwhelming and incontrovertible. That's what my sources are telling me tonight," Hannity said.
Hannity did not reveal the identity of his sources, but his words have sway as millions of people tune into his program every weeknight. He is also well-known to have the President Trump's ear and has interviewed the president on a number of occasions,
The host appeared to be referring to the network of prosecutors Barr has set up to review high-profile investigations and allegations involving Russia and Ukraine. This includes Durham; Jeffrey Jensen, the U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Missouri assigned to the Flynn case; and U.S. Attorney Scott Brady from Pittsburgh, who is reviewing records and documents related to Ukraine, including those from Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani.
After impeachment ended in acquittal earlier this month, Democrats have refocused their attack on Barr, demanding investigations into his conduct. Prosecutors from around the country told the media that the Stone situation has increased their anxiety about working on any cases that might attract interest from Trump for fear that Barr would not back them up, and more than 2,000 former Justice Department officials have called on Barr to resign. Even Trump himself appeared to break with his attorney general when he tweeted about Barr and the Justice Department after Barr complained that such public commentary makes "it impossible for me to do my job."
Still, Hannity dismissed there being a serious rift between Trump and Barr and predicted the attorney general will deliver a "devastating blow to the deep state" of perceived Trump foes accused of trying to undermine the president.
Touting an expanding Durham criminal investigation, which includes scrutiny of former CIA Director John Brennan, and the ramifications of Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz's scathing report on FISA abuses, Hannity boasted: "A huge day of reckoning to me seem to be on the horizon. I may be wrong. I don't think so."
"To date, my sources have been right the entire time," Hannity said. "So, tonight, I can report this: I am cautiously optimistic that real justice will be done. And it seems like the decks are being cleared."

Q Research General #10456: Obama Says He Built the MAGA Economy Edition
'CoupGate' - A Localized Civil War Is Now Underway In The DoJ
Now, perhaps, you can see the scope of this big hot mess, and deduce the degree of difficulty that William Barr faces in attempting to set it all straight. He has to carefully select those who will be charged and probably not bother with some of the bit players. The charges are going to have to be serious, and the cases must be strong. It is a gigantic job of work, and rather delicate business considering the explosive potential to a government whose credibility is already pretty shredded. Failure to attend to it may turn a mere bureaucratic civil war into a genuine citizen rebellion featuring some of the 300-million-odd firearms at large in the republic. I believe Mr. Barr is aware of what's at stake and will behave honorably.

Over 2,000 Former DOJ Officials Call for Barr's Resignation Over Handling of Roger Stone Case
More than 2,000 former Justice Department officials have signed an online letter urging Attorney General William Barr to resign following his intervention in the case of former Trump campaign associate Roger Stone.
The online letter was organized by Protect Democracy, a nonprofit advocacy group staffed by former government officials, political operatives, and activists that have been opposing Trump's agenda via legal means. Some of the group's actions include helping to shut down Trump's voter integrity commission, suing to block Trump's border emergency declaration, and a running campaign to have Trump prosecuted for obstruction of justice.
In their letter, the signees claim that Barr and President Donald Trump had interfered with the "fair administration of justice." They say that it was "unheard of for the Department's top leaders to overrule line prosecutors" while alleging that it was done "in order to give preferential treatment to a close associate of the President."

Harvard Law School professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz revealed in an interview on Sunday that he has proof that former Democrat President Barack Obama ordered the FBI to investigate someone after far-left billionaire George Soros asked for the investigation.
Dershowitz's remarks come after critics have attacked President Donald Trump for tweeting about matters related to the Department of Justice, which led to Attorney General William Barr publicly asking the president to stop last week.
"There was a lot of White House control of the Justice Department during the Kennedy administration and I don't think we saw very many liberal professors arguing against that," Dershowitz told Breitbart News. "I have some information as well about the Obama administration - which will be disclosed in a lawsuit at some point, but I'm not prepared to disclose it now - about how President Obama personally asked the FBI to investigate somebody on behalf of George Soros, who was a close ally of his."
"We've seen this kind of White House influence on the Justice Department virtually in every Justice Department," Dershowitz continued. "The difference this president is much more overt about it, he tweets about it. President Obama whispered to the Justice Department about it."

Alan Dershowitz: There was a lot of White House control of the Justice Department during the Kennedy administration and I don't think we saw very many liberal professors arguing against that. I have some information as well about the Obama administration - which will be disclosed in a lawsuit at some point, but I'm not prepared to disclose it now - about how President Obama personally asked the FBI to investigate somebody on behalf of George Soros, who was a close ally of his. We've seen this kind of White House influence on the Justice Department virtually in every Justice Department. The difference this president is much more overt about it, he tweets about it. President Obama whispered to the Justice Department about it and I don't think these thousand former Justice Department officials would pass the shoe on the other foot test. Maybe some of them would but a good many of them wouldn't and let's be very clear about the constitutionality, the president could make a decision to really control the Justice Department, he could decide who to prosecute, who not to prosecute. He shouldn't do it, it hasn't been done since Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson did do it, we've seen this throughout our history.
Breitbart News: You said that George Soros asked Barack Obama to have his Justice Department investigate somebody?
Dershowitz: That's going to come out in a lawsuit in the near future, yeah. That is not unusual, people whisper to presidents all the time, presidents whisper to Justice Department all the time, it's very common, it's wrong whoever does it, but it's common and we shouldn't think that it's unique to any particular president. I have in my possession the actual 302 form which documents this issue and it will at the right time come out, but I'm not free to disclose it now because it's a case that's not yet been filed.

Senate Judiciary Chairman Lindsey Graham Requests Interviews With Crossfire Hurricane Officials
Senate Judiciary Chairman Lindsey Graham, R-SC, is requesting interviews with FBI and DOJ officials linked to the handling of the July 31, 2016 Crossfire Hurricane probe, according to a letter the Chairman sent to Attorney General William Barr Friday.
In the letter, Graham also requests clarity on the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrant and its renewals used to spy on former Trump campaign volunteer Carter Page. Inspector General Michael Horowitz's December, 2019 report found seventeen significant inaccuracies or omissions in those secret federal surveillance applications.
Page told The Sara Carter Show last month that he's "encouraged and appreciative" for Inspector General Michael Horowitz, but warned that the findings were just "the tip of the iceberg."
Graham's letter requests that the following individuals testify: Supervisory Special Agent 1, Case Agent 1, Case Agent 2, Case Agent 3, Staff Operations Specialist, Supervisory Intelligence Analyst, Supervisory Special Agent 2, Supervisory Special Agent 3, OGC Unit Chief, Intel Section Chief, Stephen Laycock, Kieran Ramsey, Jennifer Boone, Bruce Ohr, Dana Boente, Deputy Section Chief, NSD and Gabriel Sanz-Rexach.

Who Are the Former Obama Staffers Who Have Declared War on US Attorney General William Barr?
William Barr, the US attorney general, is facing a strong backlash from numerous former Department of Justice (DOJ) officials, who are calling upon his resignation, after the DOJ leadership announced that the amount of prison time for former Trump adviser Roger Stone would be lowered, despite the prosecutors' initial sentencing recommendations.
One of the organisers of an open letter urging US Attorney General William Barr to resign is "Protect Democracy", a nonprofit legal group that has been a longtime critic of the policies of the Donald Trump administration, including accusations that the US president provided false information to justify his anti-foreign terrorist entry executive order, commonly known as Travel Ban.
The group and its affiliated organisations, Protect Democracy Project (PDP) and United to Protect Democracy, are operated by former Barack Obama staffers who have never concealed the "urgent" purpose of their creation back in 2017, which was "to hold the President and the Executive Branch accountable", or simply to "oppose" the policies of Donald Trump, as the Influence Watch website asserts.

Former Deputy AG Under George H.W. Bush: Barr Is 'Un-American,' 'Must Resign' or Be Impeached
by Jerry Lambe | 10:27 am, February 17th, 2020
The former Deputy Attorney General under President George H.W. Bush on Monday penned an op-ed in The Atlantic calling for the resignation of William Barr, saying Barr's "long-held belief in the need for a virtually autocratic executive" clearly illustrates his "unfitness for office." The op-ed was published one day after more than 1,100 former DOJ officials (cable news legal analysts included) signed on to an open letter also calling for Barr's resignation.
Donald Ayer, who served as Deputy AG and Principal Deputy Solicitor General under Bush I, wrote that in the last week Barr has proven that he is more of a personal advocate for President Donald Trump than a representative of justice for the American people.
"The evenhanded conduct of the prosecutions of Roger Stone and Michael Flynn by experienced Department of Justice attorneys have been disrupted at the 11th hour by the attorney general's efforts to soften the consequences for the president's associates," Ayer wrote. "More generally, it appears that Barr has recently identified a group of lawyers who he trusts and put them in place to oversee and second-guess the work of the department's career attorneys on a broader range of cases. And there is no comfort from any of this in Barr's recent protests about the president's tweeting. He in no way suggested he was changing course, only that it is hard appear independent when the president is publicly calling for him to follow the path he is on."
According to Ayer, Barr's devolution into a presidential protector was inevitable in light of his full-throated belief in a unitary executive theory that essentially places the president above the law, claiming Barr's tenure has been geared towards destroying the DOJ safeguards built in the aftermath of the Watergate scandal-a pursuit he says is definitively "un-American" in nature.
"Barr's frontal attack on this system begins with an assault on [post-Watergate AG Edward] Levi's central premise, that ours must be a 'government of laws and not men,' in which no person is above the law," Ayer wrote. "Even more emphatically, though, Barr has brought with him to the department an extraordinary belief in the need for an all-powerful president that is flatly irreconcilable with Levi's vision, which restored the Department of Justice to honor and integrity in the mid-'70s. Perhaps most disturbingly, Barr contends that it is virtually impossible for a corrupt president to be held to account by the Department of Justice, or by any independent counsel that it or Congress might appoint."
Ayer said that Barr should resign or be impeached, a framing that we have seen before.
"Bill Barr's America is not a place that anyone, including Trump voters, should want to go," Ayer concluded. "It is a banana republic where all are subject to the whims of a dictatorial president and his henchmen. To prevent that, we need a public uprising demanding that Bill Barr resign immediately, or failing that, be impeached."

Several sources tell Cockburn that the Special Counsel has indeed completed his report. It is said to recommend indicting three of President Trump's children – Don junior, Ivanka and Eric – as well as his son-in-law, Jared Kushner. The Attorney General, William Barr, is said to have 'silently assented' to this. It's also claimed that Mueller wants President Trump himself to be indicted. Barr is said to oppose this. The two men met on Friday but apparently could not agree and this was the reason for the delay in any announcement from the [Department of Justice]. At least this is what the sources say."

ICE: Sanctuary California Hiding Details on Accused Illegal Alien Child Abusers
The Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency is accusing the sanctuary state of California of refusing to disclose if they plan to release a number of criminal illegal aliens, including those accused of crimes against children.
This week, ICE officials sent subpoenas to the San Diego County Sheriff's Office (SDCSO) asking for whereabout information and if the sanctuary state plans on releasing a series of illegal aliens.
"Issuance of these immigration subpoenas is necessary because the SDCSO is forced to comply with California's sanctuary state laws, and therefore cannot cooperate in honoring immigration detainers or requests for non-public information to assist in locating criminal aliens that have been or will be released from custody," an ICE release stated.
Specifically, ICE officials are seeking information on these four illegal aliens:
A 40-year-old illegally present Mexican national who was arrested in December ... for continuing sexual abuse of a child, lewd and lascivious act of a child under fourteen years old, and oral copulation with a person under fourteen years old. An immigration detainer was lodged with the SDSO. He has two DUI convictions, both from 2009. He has been returned to Mexico on eleven occasions between 2009 and 2011. He remains in SDSO custody at the county jail; [Emphasis added]
A 42-year-old illegally present Mexican national who was arrested for first degree robbery ... in November 2019. He has a prior conviction for possession of a controlled substance (methamphetamine) from 2013. A federal immigration judge granted him voluntarily departure, but he failed to depart the United States as ordered. After his November 2019 arrest, an immigration detainer was lodged with SDSO but due to California sanctuary state laws the detainer was not honored, and he was released back into the community; [Emphasis added]
A 31-year-old illegally present Mexican national who was arrested ... for battery of spouse and false imprisonment in December 2019. He has a prior conviction for deceptive government identification, 2008. U.S. immigration authorities previously returned or removed him from the U. S. three times between 2008 and 2010. ICE lodged an immigration detainer with SDSO following his December arrest but due to California sanctuary state laws the detainer was not honored, and he was released back into the community; [Emphasis added]
A 28-year-old illegally present Mexican national who was arrested for assault with force, great bodily injury, child cruelty and battery of spouse ... He was previously arrested in 2017 for battery on spouse by local law enforcement. He was returned to Mexico multiple times in 2004. A final order of removal was issued by a federal immigration judge in January 2018 and he was removed to Mexico. Once again, he illegally reentered the United States. An immigration detainer was lodged with the SDSO and he remains in custody. [Emphasis added]
"The public needs to be aware and concerned that California sanctuary state laws do not protect public safety and is bad public policy," ICE official Gregory Archambeault said.
"Criminal aliens are being released back into the community daily and most will re-offend resulting in more victims," Archambeault said. "For ICE, the most concerning part about dealing with uncooperative jurisdictions, or places that are not allowed to work with us, is that we don't always know who is being arrested, when they'll be released, or if they are at-large in the community again."
The ICE subpoenas come as Attorney General William Barr has filed lawsuits against sanctuary jurisdictions New Jersey and King County, Washington, for obstructing federal immigration law and enforcement.
At the same time, President Trump is reportedly sending about 100 "elite tactical agents" to about 10 sanctuary cities to aid ICE agents in arresting and deporting criminal illegal aliens, Breitbart News reported. The administration is hoping to increase arrests of criminal illegal aliens by 35 percent.
As Breitbart News has previously reported, sanctuary counties in California release thousands of illegal aliens back into American communities every day, according to federal immigration officials. In Los Angeles, California, for example, up to 100 criminal illegal aliens are released every day from police custody.

What Does this Tell You
Over One Thousand Former DOJ Officials Call For Resignation of US Attorney General William Barr
The US attorney general is facing wide condemnation after reportedly using his position to lighten the sentencing of one of US President Donald Trump's longtime associates, following the president's angry tweets.
A group of 1143 former US Department of Justice (DoJ) prosecutors and officials who have served both Republican and Democratic presidential administrations signed a statement calling on Attorney General William Barr to resign, following what is reportedly his interference in the sentencing of US President Donald Trump's former election campaign adviser Roger Stone.
Former DoJ officials have called on the department's current employees to report "future abuses", and have additionally warned against carrying out "directives that are inconsistent with their oaths of office".

DOJ opens news investigation into James Comey, Andrew McCabe, Peter Strzok, former top DOJ official says
'All they did was swapped out a loser case for starting an investigation…'
Andrew Weissmann, a former top lawyer at the Justice Department who played a central role in Robert Mueller's investigation, said Friday the Justice Department has begun a new investigation into several former top FBI officials.
Weissmann, speaking to MSNBC host Chuck Todd, said the Justice Department has swapped its "loser case" against Andrew McCabe - in which the DOJ declined to pursue charges against McCabe for lying to investigators - for a new case against former FBI Director James Comey, McCabe, and Peter Strzok.
"All they did was swapped out a loser case for starting an investigation that is going to be of Comey, McCabe, Pete Strzok," Weissmann said, the Washington Examiner reported.
The investigation is related to the DOJ's review of the Michael Flynn case, Weissmann explained.
Last week, Attorney General William Barr appointed Jeffrey Jensen, the U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Missouri, to investigate the circumstances of the Flynn case, including his interview with FBI investigators.
NBC News reported that Jensen is "broadly" reviewing the case, suggesting latitude in the scope of his inquiry.

Imagine believing a Clown is going to clean up the swamp.
Barr: CIA operative
It is a sobering fact that American presidents (many of whom have been corrupt) have gone out of their way to hire fixers to be their attorney generals.
Consider recent history: Loretta Lynch (2015-2017), Eric Holder (2009-2015), Michael Mukasey (2007-2009), Alberto Gonzales (2005-2007), John Ashcroft (2001-2005),Janet Reno (1993-2001), Dick Thornburgh (1988-1991), Ed Meese (1985-1988), etc.
Barr, however, is a particularly spectacular and sordid case. As George H.W. Bush's most notorious insider, and as the AG from 1991 to 1993, Barr wreaked havoc, flaunted the rule of law, and proved himself to be one of the CIA/Deep State's greatest and most ruthless champions and protectors:
Barr was a full-time CIA operative, recruited by Langley out of high school, starting in 1971. Barr's youth career goal was to head the CIA.
CIA operative assigned to the China directorate, where he became close to powerful CIA operative George H.W. Bush, whose accomplishments already included the CIA/Cuba Bay of Pigs, Asia CIA operations (Vietnam War, Golden Triangle narcotics), Nixon foreign policy (Henry Kissinger), and the Watergate operation.
When George H.W. Bush became CIA Director in 1976, Barr joined the CIA's "legal office" and Bush's inner circle, and worked alongside Bush's longtime CIA enforcers Theodore "Ted" Shackley, Felix Rodriguez, Thomas Clines, and others, several of whom were likely involved with the Bay of Pigs/John F. Kennedy assassination, and numerous southeast Asian operations, from the Phoenix Program to Golden Triangle narco-trafficking.
Barr stonewalled and destroyed the Church Committee investigations into CIA abuses.
Barr stonewalled and stopped inquiries in the CIA bombing assassination of Chilean opposition leader Orlando Letelier.
Barr joined George H.W. Bush's legal/intelligence team during Bush's vice presidency (under President Ronald Reagan) Rose from assistant attorney general to Chief Legal Counsel to attorney general (1991) during the Bush 41 presidency.
Barr was a key player in the Iran-Contra operation, if not the most important member of the apparatus, simultaneously managing the operation while also "fixing" the legal end, ensuring that all of the operatives could do their jobs without fear of exposure or arrest.
In his attorney general confirmation, Barr vowed to "attack criminal organizations", drug smugglers and money launderers. It was all hot air: as AG, Barr would preserve, protect, cover up, and nurture the apparatus that he helped create, and use Justice Department power to escape punishment.
Barr stonewalled and stopped investigations into all Bush/Clinton and CIA crimes, including BCCI and BNL CIA drug banking, the theft of Inslaw/PROMIS software, and all crimes of state committed by Bush
Barr provided legal cover for Bush's illegal foreign policy and war crimes
Barr left Washington, and went through the "rotating door" to the corporate world, where he took on numerous directorships and counsel positions for major companies. In 2007 and again from 2017, Barr was counsel for politically-connected international law firm Kirkland & Ellis. Among its other notable attorneys and alumni are Kenneth Starr, John Bolton, Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, and numerous Trump administration attorneys. K&E's clients include sex trafficker/pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, and Mitt Romney's Bain Capital.
A strong case can be made that William Barr was as powerful and important a figure in the Bush apparatus as any other, besides Poppy Bush himself.

== William Barr and the Iran-Contra Scandal
CIA Covert Operative William Barr Nominated by Trump for Attorney General. His Role in the Iran Contra Affair ==
Why was Barr chosen, given his shocking and deeply criminal/cover-up kingpin background?
Was Trump duped by Deep State enemies, who have placed another predator into his administration with the power to destroy his presidency? Or has Trump co-opted and turned Barr, in the hopes that Barr will do Trump's bidding? Why would Barr ever turn against his own Deep State cronies?
Does Trump have a plan? With Barr in place, is Trump signaling to his enemies that "I now own the Deep State"? Or is Barr the Deep State's ultimate and final weapon against Trump, who remains surrounded by Bush/Clinton "swamp creatures" such as National Security Adviser John Bolton, who is one of Barr's many fellow Iran-Contra co-conspirators, Vice President Mike Pence (who is in ideal position for a coup against Trump, and remains very cozy with the Clintons, dozens of Obama appointees that remain in place, and Republican "Never Trumpers", all of whom continue to undermine Trump.

'''Prosecutor John Durham examining interagency turf war over Obama emails hacked by Russia: Report
'Federal prosecutor John Durham is scrutinizing the intelligence community's interagency turf war over viewing secretive foreign intelligence and the government restricting access to President Barack Obama's emails that were hacked by Russians but obtained by a foreign ally, sources claimed. Durham, selected by Attorney General William Barr last year to lead the Justice Department's inquiry into the origins of the Trump-Russia investigation and the conduct of the U.S. government in dealing with the Kremlin's interference, apparently is focused on at least two clashes over sensitive information', according to sources cited by the New York Times.
The first internal Obama administration squabble, described by the article in vague terms, related to restrictions placed upon yet-unknown foreign intelligence by one intelligence agency, speculated to be the CIA directed by John Brennan. Other agencies, speculated to include the National Security Agency, wanted access to the material. One source suggested that the CIA wanted to mask American identities in the data set before allowing the NSA to view it. The second squabble was about the White House preventing the FBI from viewing U.S. emails hacked by the Russians but obtained, copied, and given to the United States by an unnamed foreign intelligence service. The Russians had hacked the Obama White House and State Department - as well as Congress - in 2014, and the FBI wanted to examine the reproduced emails to understand the Russian active measures campaign in 2016.
"But an index of the messages compiled by the unnamed foreign ally showed that they included emails from President Barack Obama as well as members of Congress," the New York Times reported. "Mr. Obama's White House counsel, W. Neil Eggleston, decided that investigators should not open the drives, citing executive privilege and the possibility of a separation-of-powers uproar if the FBI sifted through lawmakers' private messages." "The analysts could have been engaged in standard bureaucratic behavior like obeying the filtering process or hoarding sensitive information. Or perhaps they were trying to cover something up," the New York Times wrote. The hack was carried out by a Russian group known as Cozy Bear - the same group that analysts believe hacked the Democratic National Committee as well.
The Washington Post reported in 2017 that "the NSA was alerted to the compromises by a Western intelligence agency" and that "the ally had managed to hack not only the Russians' computers, but also the surveillance cameras inside their workspace, according to the former officials." The officials said the foreign ally "monitored the hackers as they maneuvered inside the U.S. systems and as they walked in and out of the workspace, and were able to see faces." The foreign intelligence now being scrutinized by Durham likely came from the Netherlands.
An article by the Telegraph in 2018 detailed how the Dutch "penetrated the systems of the Russian cyber unit known as Cozy Bear in mid-2014 and monitored them for at least a year" and "informed the CIA and helped remove Cozy Bear from U.S. State Department computers they had hacked into in late 2014" while they "also monitored the Russian hackers as they tried to undermine unclassified computer systems in Congress and the White House." A piece by Dutch outlet de Volkskrant claimed in 2018 that Dutch intelligence "became witness to the Russian hackers harassing and penetrating the leaders of the Democratic Party, transferring thousands of emails and documents" and "provided crucial evidence of the Russian involvement in the hacking of the Democratic Party." The outlet claimed the Dutch information was "also grounds for the FBI to start an investigation into the influence of the Russian interference on the election." Durham "asked questions that appear aimed at understanding how analysts reached their conclusion and who drove that process ... and whether and how information from foreign governments or the CIA played any role in stoking suspicions at the FBI about Trump campaign links to Russia," sources cited by the New York Times said.

Jewish U.S. Attorney General William Barr Makes Slapping A Jew A Federal 'Hate' Crime
"
Tiffany Harris, the Black woman who made headlines for randomly slapping three Jewish women in December on the streets of Brooklyn for no apparent reason whatsoever - and then quickly being released from jail - has been charged with federal hate crimes:
"U.S. Attorney General William Barr announced the Justice Department's decision to charge Tiffany Harris in a meeting Tuesday morning with Jewish leaders in Brooklyn at which he pledged "zero tolerance" for anti-Semitism.
"These are the kinds of cases that maybe in the past would have been treated locally, but I think it's important for the federal government to plant its flag," Barr said at the meeting. "We will move aggressively when we see this kind of activity."
Harris has emerged as a flashpoint in the debate over a bail reform law that went into effect Jan. 1 in New York state. The law, which prohibits bail requirements for most nonviolent and minor offenses, was intended to ensure that defendants are not treated differently based on their financial means.
Harris' arrests - after her release, she was arrested again for assault - took place before the law went into effect. Still, politicians who oppose the law have cited the 30-year-old woman in making the case that judges should have discretion to impose bail requirements.
"A bigger, stronger example should have been made of this violent anti-Semitic criminal, not the opposite," Lee Zeldin, a Republican Jewish congressman from Long Island, said earlier this month.
That appears to be happening with the federal charges, which come amid Barr's "zero tolerance" pledge and as the New York Police Department seeks ways to circumvent the bail law.
"I am appalled that Tiffany Harris is being used as a scapegoat for the fear-mongering surrounding bail reform," Lisa Schreibersdorf, Harris' lawyer, told the New York Daily News on Tuesday. "
The U.S. Attorney General, William Barr, is jewish through his father and should have recused himself in this case for the conflict of interest, but it's an antisemitic 'canard' to claim that Jews cannot be objective about a legal matter involving their fellow Jews.
Bear in mind that none of Harris' jewish 'victims' were seriously injured by these 'attacks', except perhaps their 'dignity'.
White people are permanently maimed and murdered by Blacks in random attacks almost every day in America, but those attacks will never be prosecuted as Federal crimes.
The reason Harris was let out on bail after slapping the Jew was that the court did not consider her crime 'serious' and there were obviously no injuries to her 'victims'. But now that she got out on bail and did it again, Jews want that bail loophole closed.
When a White person is murdered by that loophole, no one cares.
When a Jew gets slapped, an example needs to be set.
The idea that merely slapping a 'protected class' in America has now reached the level of a Federal crime should really make people wake up to what's coming. This is just the beginning.
This two-tier justice system will increase antisemitism, not reduce it, and it should be Jews themselves who object to this dangerous special treatment.
"
To be clear, I still support Trump and Barr, nobody is perfect, but only speaking out against this "Jews are special" bullshit will lead to peaceful change.
And obviously, shit like this makes people hate Jews, and is dangerous for Jews.
NOTE:
Barr's father was born Jewish but later converted to Catholicism. His mother is of Irish ancestry. Barr was raised Catholic.
He's Catholic, not Jewish.
The article goes overboard regarding that, but the gist of the article is solid (Jews are getting unfair special treatment that only makes everyone hate them).

US attorney caved to 'ultimatum' by Mueller prosecutors in Roger Stone case
Attorney General William Barr's handpicked top prosecutor presiding over the Roger Stone case reportedly 'caved to prosecutors seeking a steep prison sentence for the longtime friend of President Trump. Timothy Shea, the recently installed interim U.S. attorney in D.C., informed Justice Department leadership that he believed the initial seven-to-nine-year sentencing recommendation for Stone was too excessive', DOJ sources told the Wall Street Journal's Kimberley Strassel.
But the four line prosecutors, including three who served on special counsel Robert Mueller's Russia investigation, threatened to withdraw from the case if their penalty request was diminished, and with Monday's court deadline approaching, Shea relented. "Mr. Shea - new to the job - suffered a moment of cowardice and submitted to this ultimatum," Strassel wrote. Once DOJ leadership learned of the tall sentencing recommendation for Stone, who was convicted of witness tampering and lying to Congress, they moved to overrule the prosecutors, suggesting instead up to four years of prison time. In short order, the four federal prosecutors withdrew from the case, and one quit his job entirely. A Justice Department representative did not immediately respond to a request for comment for this report.
As Trump tweeted about the original guidance early Tuesday, calling it a "miscarriage of justice" before the reversal, Democrats have accused him and Attorney General William Barr of interfering in the case, demanding investigations. Prosecutors from around the country told the media that the Stone situation has increased their anxiety about working on any cases that might attract interest from Trump for fear that Barr would not back them up. Barr said he was "very surprised" by the tougher suggested penalty but claimed the decision to scale it back was made before Trump slammed the guidance. He also told ABC News on Thursday that Trump's constant public commentary on the Justice Department makes "it impossible for me to do my job" and claimed that his work would remain independent from the president's political desires. The White House said Trump "wasn't bothered" by Barr condemning his tweets, but the president tweeted about Barr the very next day. "'The President has never asked me to do anything in a criminal case,'" Trump said Friday on Twitter, quoting Barr. "This doesn't mean that I do not have, as President, the legal right to do so, I do, but I have so far chosen not to!"

Donald Barr's son, US Attorney General William Barr is currently investigating the death of Jeffrey Epstein.
In 1973, Donald Barr, hired a young 20 year old college dropout named Jeffrey E. Epstein to teach math at the Dalton School. Epstein taught at the school between 1974 and 1976.
Donald Barr also wrote this sci-fi novel, Space Relations, about sex slavery in space.
Epstein went on to build a career in finance and became a multimillionaire. He served time in 2008 as a sex offender for having molested 36 girls, some as young as 14.
In July 2019, Epstein was arrested on federal charges of sex trafficking of minors in Florida and New York. Epstein committed suicide while being held in US Federal custody on August 10, 2019.
US Attorney General William Barr was appointed by the Trump administration in February 2019.

Q Research General #10421: The 23:23 Edition
Did the dirty cops of the Roger Stone case step into a Barr trap?
https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2020/02/did_the_dirty_cops_of_the_roger_stone_case_step_into_a_Barr_trap.html
Roger Stone liked to gleefully call himself a "dirty trickster," but he was no match for the dirty cops of the Department of Justice who railroaded him with a nine-year sentence for three process crimes, including one where his purported victim said no crime happened.
Now it looks as though the dirty cops - the four prosecutors who lied to the Department of Justice about Stone's sentencing recommendations, and the far-left judge who allowed a nakedly Trump-hating partisan to serve as Stone's jury forewoman again - might just have been trapped themselves by none other than U.S. Attorney General William Barr.
For starters, it would explain why President Trump says he has no beef with Barr over Barr's criticism of his tweets. It would also explain why the Schiff show in the House, fresh from failing to take down Trump, now says it now wants to impeach Barr.
According to a series of tweets by Brian Cates, which can be read with ease on ThreadReader – here is a speculative outline attempting to draw links that add up to some rather impressive power moves:
Let me remind you all what happened since last November around this case:
1) Trump suddenly nominates US Attorney Jessie Liu to a top Treasury Dept. job, she accepts; Trump nominates Timothy O'Shea to replace her. She is the one who has been guiding the Stone case.
2) all 4 prosecutors suddenly agree amongst themselves they will brief the DOJ one sentencing recommendation, but then actually file a far more lengthy recommendation with the court.
With me so far?
There is only one reason these prosecutors would do this.
They expected to get COVER from both the US ATTORNEY overseeing the case and from THE JUDGE presiding over the case in court.
Despite DOJ complaints about the tactic, Liu & Judge Jackson have their backs.
Cates goes on to explain why they seemed so bold about lying as they did. They had counted on Liu to keep the Barr people from hopping around mad about the new draconian change of sentencing recommendations for Stone. They had counted on Judge Jackson to go ahead and deliver them, even though she too knew that they were way out of sentencing guideline. Sticking it to the Trumpsters was the idea.
But it didn't work out like they thought it would. According to Cates:
Then all of these next two things happen in the span of two days:
3) the DOJ suddenly files a COUNTER to the prosecution teams own absurd filing. This was not supposed to happen. DOJ would have informed Liu first they were doing this, then she'd have warned them.
4) when the prosecution team russhes to contact the US Attorney's Office in DC for an explanation, what they discover so surprises them that ALL FOUR TEAM MEMBERS resign within hours of each other.
What did these prosecutors discover BEFORE anybody else did?
Only this:
5) the Stone prosecution team discovers TWO things:
a) Trump had just WITHDRAWN Lin's nomination to that cool new Treasury job and…
b) Attorney General William Barr had just told Liu that O'Shea was replacing her IMMEDIATELY.
They don't have any cover. They've been BURNED.

Jewish U.S. Attorney General William Barr Makes Slapping A Jew A Federal 'Hate' Crime
"
Tiffany Harris, the Black woman who made headlines for randomly slapping three Jewish women in December on the streets of Brooklyn for no apparent reason whatsoever - and then quickly being released from jail - has been charged with federal hate crimes:
"U.S. Attorney General William Barr announced the Justice Department's decision to charge Tiffany Harris in a meeting Tuesday morning with Jewish leaders in Brooklyn at which he pledged "zero tolerance" for anti-Semitism.
"These are the kinds of cases that maybe in the past would have been treated locally, but I think it's important for the federal government to plant its flag," Barr said at the meeting. "We will move aggressively when we see this kind of activity."
Harris has emerged as a flashpoint in the debate over a bail reform law that went into effect Jan. 1 in New York state. The law, which prohibits bail requirements for most nonviolent and minor offenses, was intended to ensure that defendants are not treated differently based on their financial means.
Harris' arrests - after her release, she was arrested again for assault - took place before the law went into effect. Still, politicians who oppose the law have cited the 30-year-old woman in making the case that judges should have discretion to impose bail requirements.
"A bigger, stronger example should have been made of this violent anti-Semitic criminal, not the opposite," Lee Zeldin, a Republican Jewish congressman from Long Island, said earlier this month.
That appears to be happening with the federal charges, which come amid Barr's "zero tolerance" pledge and as the New York Police Department seeks ways to circumvent the bail law.
"I am appalled that Tiffany Harris is being used as a scapegoat for the fear-mongering surrounding bail reform," Lisa Schreibersdorf, Harris' lawyer, told the New York Daily News on Tuesday. "
The U.S. Attorney General, William Barr, is jewish through his father and should have recused himself in this case for the conflict of interest, but it's an antisemitic 'canard' to claim that Jews cannot be objective about a legal matter involving their fellow Jews.
Bear in mind that none of Harris' jewish 'victims' were seriously injured by these 'attacks', except perhaps their 'dignity'.
White people are permanently maimed and murdered by Blacks in random attacks almost every day in America, but those attacks will never be prosecuted as Federal crimes.
The reason Harris was let out on bail after slapping the Jew was that the court did not consider her crime 'serious' and there were obviously no injuries to her 'victims'. But now that she got out on bail and did it again, Jews want that bail loophole closed.
When a White person is murdered by that loophole, no one cares.
When a Jew gets slapped, an example needs to be set.
The idea that merely slapping a 'protected class' in America has now reached the level of a Federal crime should really make people wake up to what's coming. This is just the beginning.
This two-tier justice system will increase antisemitism, not reduce it, and it should be Jews themselves who object to this dangerous special treatment.
"
To be clear, I still support Trump and Barr, nobody is perfect, but only speaking out against this "Jews are special" bullshit will lead to peaceful change.
And obviously, shit like this makes people hate Jews, and is dangerous for Jews.

Barr assigns outside prosecutor to review Russiagate's Michael Flynn's case - report
General Michael Flynn seems to be getting a lifeline from the attorney general following his claim that prosecutors in the Mueller investigation "concocted the alleged false statements" he was accused of making.
Attorney General William Barr has assigned an outside prosecutor to examine the criminal case against US President Donald Trump's former national security advisor, according to a report from the New York Times.
St. Louis prosecutor Jeff Jenson is heading the team reexamining the Justice Department's case against Flynn. The second look at Flynn's case is part of a larger probe by Barr to go over politically-sensitive national security cases taken on in the last couple years by the Justice Department. Outside prosecutors have reportedly been grilling prosecutors in Washington about past cases and their reasons for taking them, in the hopes of finding political motivations.
Though General Flynn pleaded guilty to making false statements during the Mueller investigation, he filed a motion last month asking for the case to be withdrawn and his guilty plea to be overturned. Flynn claims prosecutors for the Justice Department "concocted the alleged 'false statements.'"

Andrew McCabe denies claim that John Durham offered pre-indictment plea deal
October 30, 2019
Andrew McCabe's legal team denied a claim that the former FBI deputy director was offered a pre-indictment plea deal from U.S. Attorney John Durham, who is conducting a criminal inquiry into the origins of the Russia investigation.
Conservative commentator Mark Levin said on his radio show a "very good source" told him that McCabe had rejected the offer, after which Durham impaneled a grand jury in Washington, D.C.
"This is what I was told by a very, very, good source. No, not the attorney general. No, not the U.S. attorney. Remember, I worked at Justice years ago, so I know a lot of people. Could be wrong, but I'm told it's pretty solid. That is that Durham offered McCabe a pre-indictment plea agreement and McCabe turned it down, so they impaneled a grand jury in Washington, D.C.," Levin said Friday.
While acknowledging that he did not have first-hand information, Levin hinted that CNN - where McCabe became a contributor in August - was aware of this, and he challenged the media to "go ahead and check this out."
McCabe's legal team denied Durham had made any such offer. "Any assertion that Andrew McCabe was offered a plea deal is 100% false," a representative for McCabe told the Washington Examiner.
Durham's office declined a request for comment.
Earlier this year, Attorney General William Barr tasked Durham with a review of the early stages of the Russia investigation up through the appointment of special counsel Robert Mueller in 2017. Last week, it was revealed that Durham's administrative review had transitioned into a criminal inquiry, giving him the power to impanel grand juries and hand down indictments.
Durham's team has interviewed at least two dozen current and former FBI officials. A source close to the matter told the Washington Examiner that McCabe has not been contacted by Durham and would unlikely accept any plea deal in connection to the investigation.
McCabe, a 21-year veteran of the FBI, said Friday he is not concerned about whether Durham was "targeting" him and his work at the FBI.
"No," McCabe said during an appearance on CNN. "If the investigation is conducted with integrity, with impartiality, if there aren't preconceived theories or judgments brought into it, then I have no concerns about it whatsoever, whether it's an internal investigation or conducted as a criminal probe."
Because he supervised the Trump-Russia investigation, McCabe said he knows "nothing inappropriate was done."
A 2018 report by Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz found the former FBI official "lacked candor" with former FBI Director James Comey, FBI investigators, and Justice Department watchdog investigators about his authorization to leak to the media the existence of an FBI investigation into the Clinton Foundation, for which McCabe was fired. McCabe sued the Justice Department and FBI in August for wrongful termination.
The U.S. Attorney's Office in Washington, D.C., is weighing criminal charges against McCabe stemming from the Horowitz report and his appeal last month to avoid criminal charges was denied by the Justice Department with federal prosecutors recommending charges. It does not appear that a grand jury has delivered any indictment yet.
U.S. District Judge Reggie B. Walton of Washington, D.C., warned the prosecutors they have until Nov. 15 to charge McCabe or drop the case. If they do not make a decision by the deadline, the judge said he would order the Justice Department to release documents related to McCabe's employment and firing.
McCabe's lawyers have expressed frustration with the Justice Department's delays, denying McCabe did anything wrong and claiming that "this investigation has been fatally flawed from its inception." McCabe said he would "absolutely not" accept a plea deal in that case.
McCabe is separately being looked at by Horowitz in part for his role in helping approve Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act applications, which made use of British ex-spy Christopher Steele's salacious and unverified dossier to target Trump associate Carter Page.

Q Research General #10414: Watch What Happens Next! Edition
Barr Says He Was 'Happy' Roger Stone Was Convicted, But Thinks 9-Year Prison Proposal Was 'Very Excessive'
Attorney General William Barr said in an interview Thursday that he was "happy" that Roger Stone was convicted at trial last year, but that he believes that prosecutors' initial suggestion that the longtime Trump confidante spend up to nine years in prison was too steep.
"It was very excessive," Barr said of Stone's sentence recommendation in an interview with ABC News.
"And I didn't want my department to be behind that. Because I believe that each individual as unsavory as they may be, and I'm not a fan of Roger Stone, but he's entitled to the particularized and careful application of the law to his case."
Barr's interview was his first since the Justice Department revised its sentencing recommendation for Stone, a longtime GOP operative convicted with obstructing the House Intelligence Committee's Russia investigation and witness tampering.
The biggest headline from the interview was Barr saying that he was perturbed with President Trump's tweets about the Stone case. Trump tweeted just hours after prosecutors' submitted their prison recommendation that it was "disgraceful" and a "miscarriage of justice."
Hours later, a Justice Department official signaled that Barr and other officials were "shocked" by the hefty prison recommendation and planned to revise it in a new court filing. Before that filing was submitted, four prosecutors withdrew from the Stone case.
Barr lamented that Trump's tweets created the appearance that any change made to the sentencing proposal would be seen as him kowtowing to the president.
And that's what happened.
Democrats and media pundits sounded off on Barr, accusing him of acting as Trump's personal lawyer rather than attorney general of the United States.
Barr described what he said was a "miscommunication" that led the core team of Stone prosecutors to submit the heavy prison recommendation.
He said that Timothy Shea, the newly appointed U.S. attorney, "raised some questions" about Stone's sentence because he was "concerned" that federal guidelines indicated that the sentence would be between seven and nine years.
Barr said that he, Shea, and other officials wanted to leave it up to the judge in Stone's case to decide an appropriate jail term, rather than go by federal guidelines.
"I've heard very few people actually suggest that 7 to 9 year sentence would be appropriate in this case. Very few people," Barr said.
"I think it was established, he was convicted of obstructing Congress and witness tampering. And I thought that was a righteous prosecution. And I was happy that he was convicted."
Barr denied that Trump pressured him to relax the recommendation, saying that he did not need the president to tell him that nine years was too hefty a jail sentence for Stone's crimes.
"And as I say, I could not support the 7 to the 9 year - and I didn't need anybody to tell me that 7 to 9 years was an excessive sentence. You think I need the president's tweet to tell me that 7 to 9 years is excessive? That was the reaction of you know the senior staff here that, you know, there's not really a comparable situation where that kind of sentence has been used."

Durham scrutinizing John Brennan's handling of Russian interference in 2016
U.S. Attorney John Durham is reportedly reviewing John Brennan's analysis of Russian election interference, including scrutiny of the former Obama CIA director's handling of a secret source said to be close to the Kremlin.
Durham, who was selected by Attorney General William Barr in 2019 to look into the origins of the Trump-Russia investigation and the government's response to Moscow's meddling, is investigating whether Brennan's CIA was attempting to keep other agencies in the dark as he pushed for a specific preconceived analytic assessment about Russia's true intentions in 2016, the New York Times reported Thursday.
The top Connecticut prosecutor's team reviewed emails from the CIA, FBI, and National Security Agency analysts who came together to assess Russia's interference, the new report revealed, and Durham's investigators pressed for answers about why some agencies at least temporarily denied other agencies access to secretive intelligence about the Kremlin's active measures campaign.
Durham interviewed agents and analysts from all three agencies, and the report said he was scrutinizing whether the clash over intelligence sharing was the typical sort of bureaucratic turf battle over jealously guarded secrets or an effort to cover something up.
Much of this revolves around how the United States government eventually reached its January 2017 intelligence assessment on Russian meddling and whether Brennan was pushing for a biased result.
One major battle was about the identity and credibility of a CIA source allegedly close to the Kremlin. The NSA wanted more details about him, which the CIA resisted before providing them. The NSA then disagreed with the CIA and FBI about how much confidence to place in the source.
At least some intelligence officials were disturbed by a law enforcement officer such as Durham inquiring into the assessments made by intelligence agencies, though Durham played a similar role in his Obama-era investigation into the CIA's destruction of tapes showing the harsh interrogation of detainees.
Durham hasn't yet interviewed Brennan, though the report said his emails and other records have been requested from the CIA by the U.S. attorney. Retired Adm. Mike Rogers, who was head of the NSA at the time, was interviewed by Durham last summer and fall.
The January 2017 intelligence community assessment in question concluded with "high confidence" that Russian President Vladimir Putin "ordered an influence campaign in 2016" and that Russia worked to "undermine public faith in the U.S. democratic process, denigrate former Secretary of State [Hillary] Clinton, and harm her electability and potential presidency" and "developed a clear preference for President-elect Trump." The NSA diverged on one aspect, expressing only "moderate confidence" that Putin actively tried to help Trump's election chances and harm those of Clinton by contrasting her unfavorably.

Tiffany Harris, the Black woman who made headlines for randomly slapping three Jewish women in December on the streets of Brooklyn for no apparent reason whatsoever - and then quickly being released from jail - has been charged with federal hate crimes:
"U.S. Attorney General William Barr announced the Justice Department's decision to charge Tiffany Harris in a meeting Tuesday morning with Jewish leaders in Brooklyn at which he pledged "zero tolerance" for anti-Semitism.
"These are the kinds of cases that maybe in the past would have been treated locally, but I think it's important for the federal government to plant its flag," Barr said at the meeting. "We will move aggressively when we see this kind of activity."
Harris has emerged as a flashpoint in the debate over a bail reform law that went into effect Jan. 1 in New York state. The law, which prohibits bail requirements for most nonviolent and minor offenses, was intended to ensure that defendants are not treated differently based on their financial means.
Harris' arrests - after her release, she was arrested again for assault - took place before the law went into effect. Still, politicians who oppose the law have cited the 30-year-old woman in making the case that judges should have discretion to impose bail requirements.
"A bigger, stronger example should have been made of this violent anti-Semitic criminal, not the opposite," Lee Zeldin, a Republican Jewish congressman from Long Island, said earlier this month.
That appears to be happening with the federal charges, which come amid Barr's "zero tolerance" pledge and as the New York Police Department seeks ways to circumvent the bail law.
"I am appalled that Tiffany Harris is being used as a scapegoat for the fear-mongering surrounding bail reform," Lisa Schreibersdorf, Harris' lawyer, told the New York Daily News on Tuesday. "
The U.S. Attorney General, William Barr, is jewish through his father and should have recused himself in this case for the conflict of interest, but it's an antisemitic 'canard' to claim that Jews cannot be objective about a legal matter involving their fellow Jews.
Bear in mind that none of Harris' jewish 'victims' were seriously injured by these 'attacks', except perhaps their 'dignity'.
White people are permanently maimed and murdered by Blacks in random attacks almost every day in America, but those attacks will never be prosecuted as Federal crimes.
The reason Harris was let out on bail after slapping the Jew was that the court did not consider her crime 'serious' and there were obviously no injuries to her 'victims'. But now that she got out on bail and did it again, Jews want that bail loophole closed.
When a White person is murdered by that loophole, no one cares.
When a Jew gets slapped, an example needs to be set.
The idea that merely slapping a 'protected class' in America has now reached the level of a Federal crime should really make people wake up to what's coming. This is just the beginning.
This two-tier justice system will increase antisemitism, not reduce it, and it should be Jews themselves who object to this dangerous special treatment.
"
To be clear, I still support Trump and Barr, nobody is perfect, but only speaking out against this "Jews are special" bullshit will lead to peaceful change.
And obviously, shit like this makes people hate Jews, and is dangerous for Jews.

A former U.S. Treasury official pleaded guilty Monday to illegally leaking highly confidential documents about suspicious financial transactions by ex-Trump campaign chief Paul Manafort and others to reporters at BuzzFeed News.
I did some more digging and came across an "Anonymous" Opinion article in the New York Times June 9, 1995…

Mr. Clinton's First Veto
June 9, 1995
If not the shot heard round the world, President Clinton's veto of a Republican-sponsored $16.4 billion budget cut was a welcome and overdue display of White House resolve.
The money involved was minimal but the symbolism was important. The veto suggests a willingness by Mr. Clinton to take some risks in battling the Republican assault on his programs. He will need to do so again if he is to salvage his Presidency and define what it stands for.
The main risk was that Mr. Clinton would be seen as an opponent of fiscal responsibility and, specifically, as an enemy of humanitarian relief. The bill provided funds for victims of the disasters in California and Oklahoma.
The veto might also have been interpreted as a signal that he had given up hope of negotiating his differences with Congress. Since taking office, the President has tried hard not to be seen as confrontational. This was, in fact, his first veto. No President has waited so long to wield the veto power since the 1850's.
But the issues defined by Mr. Clinton were the right ones, giving him credibility for the next time he confronts a hostile Congress. He objected to cuts for education and training, environmental protection, nutrition programs and other important areas. It is unthinkable, as he said, that these programs should be trimmed to make room for pork-Barrel projects.
Although he did not make much of the environmental issue, a provision sought by logging interests to allow indiscriminate timber cutting on Federal lands would have been sufficient reason to say no.
Mr. Clinton signaled a readiness to compromise. Both he and the Republicans, who also made accommodating noises, sense that Americans want the two sides to work together rather than engage in sterile combat in the months to come.
Future veto battles will be more difficult than this one, and Mr. Clinton must stick to principle. The veto is his only power to influence legislation, but it cannot by itself force Congress to approve legislation to the Administration's liking. In such areas as welfare reform, environmental changes and foreign aid – where the Administration has hinted that a veto might be necessary – the President needs to accompany his threats with a clear outline of the alternatives he seeks.

Report: Flynn Prosecutors Misled AG Bill Barr on Gen. Flynn Sentencing - Just Like Roger Stone Prosecutors
by Jim Hoft February 13, 2020
It's starting to look like the Deep State and Democrats planned the commotion this week to take down Attorney General Bill Barr.
Roger Stone's deep state prosecutors this week stunned the Attorney General's office by pushing for a sentence of 7-9 years for Roger Stone in a process crime in the Trump-collusion hoax investigation.
As The Gateway Pundit reported earlier- The DOJ Backing Down From Abusive Sentencing Recommendation For Roger Stone
"The Department finds seven to nine years extreme, excessive and grossly disproportionate," the source told Fox News.
The DOJ is changing its sentencing recommendation for Roger Stone, according to a Senior DOJ official.
"The Department finds seven to nine years extreme, excessive and grossly disproportionate," the source said, adding the DOJ will clarify its position on sentencing later today
- Jake Gibson (@JakeBGibson) February 11, 2020
The Department of Justice said it was "shocked" at the excessive prison term being sought by Mueller's prosecutors because it wasn't what the DOJ was initially briefed on. Either Mueller's thugs lied to the DOJ or they sought more prison time for Roger Stone in retaliation for Trump's impeachment acquittal.
And now it appears the same thing happened in the General Flynn case.
Attorney General Bill Barr was also reportedly stunned and angry when the Flynn prosecutors asked the judge last month to consider prison time for General Flynn. Barr was under the impression his underlings would not advocate for that.
CNN reported:
In recent filings, the Justice Department appeared to waiver on seeking prison. But they also have harshly warned Flynn of the consequences he may face by switching his plea to not guilty, if the judge allows it.
The filing on Wednesday - again positioning prosecutors in opposition to what Flynn wants - came amid rising tensions between the attorney general and the Justice Department's career prosecutors in Washington, including former Mueller prosecutors still at work on cases that originated with the special counsel's investigation. The Justice Department's new filing on Flynn seemingly popped up out of nowhere, many days before any statement from the department was due to the court in the case.
In recent weeks, the Justice Department's approach to Flynn has created a debate between career prosecutors who want him to serve prison time and top political officials at the Justice Department, who advocated for probation only. Attorney General William Barr was angry, for instance, when prosecutors asked the judge in January to consider prison for Flynn, because Barr had thought his underlings wouldn't advocate for that.

Barr: Trump tweets on cases make it 'impossible' to do job
WASHINGTON (AP) - Attorney General William Barr took a public swipe at President Donald Trump on Thursday, saying that the president's tweets about Justice Department prosecutors and cases "make it impossible for me to do my job."
Barr made the comment during an interview with ABC News just days after his Justice Department overruled its own prosecutors - who had recommended in a court filing that Trump's longtime ally and confidant Roger Stone be sentenced to 7 to 9 years in prison - and took the extraordinary step of lowering the amount of prison time it would seek. The department didn't offer an amended number.
Barr himself has been under fire for the Justice Department action, and Thursday's comment served as a defense of his own integrity.

The story said members of President Trump's family would be charged but also noted that it is Department of Justice policy not to indict a sitting President. However, there was no frenzy at the DoJ on Friday, no throng of reporters to make the tourists heading up Pennsylvania Avenue to the White House stop and look. So what happened?
Several sources tell Cockburn that the Special Counsel has indeed completed his report. It is said to recommend indicting three of President Trump's children - Don junior, Ivanka and Eric - as well as his son-in-law, Jared Kushner. The Attorney General, William Barr, is said to have 'silently assented' to this. It's also claimed that Mueller wants President Trump himself to be indicted. Barr is said to oppose this. The two men met on Friday but apparently could not agree and this was the reason for the delay in any announcement from the DoJ. At least this is what the sources say.
So who are these sources? Joseph Heller mocked Washington's - and journalism's - culture of 'sources' in his novel Good as Gold.

Mexican Government Deploys Elite Marines to Combat Drug Cartels Thanks to Pressure From the Trump Administration
Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador recently deployed Mexico's underutilized elite marine force to combat drug cartels, after facing pressure from the Trump administration to step up its fight against the flow of narcotics, according to a report from the Wall Street Journal.
The WSJ noted that this decision represents a change from a "counternarcotics strategy that largely ended the pursuit of high-profile arrests and focused almost exclusively on poverty alleviation."
"We are operating again," one senior Mexican navy officer stated. He added, "The targets we need to go after have been defined."
For a broader context, this strategy came about after growing concern from the Trump administration that Mexico has failed to keep the drug trade in check in light of last November's cartel murder of nine American citizens. According to some estimates, Mexico's total murders in 2019 is on the verge of exceeding 2018's record of 36,685.
U.S. Attorney General William Barr has led the charge in putting pressure on Mexico to step up its security measures.
On two occasions, Barr visited Mexico to encourage AMLO to use Mexican marines as part of a more robust counternarcotics plan against drug traffickers. Additionally, he advised AMLO to strengthen the extradition process of suspects who have escaped the U.S. while being wanted for crimes. Last month, Barr advised the Mexican government to target fentanyl labs, in addition to clamping down on seaports being used to deliver some of the chemical inputs used in the labs.
The Mexican marines, the Mexican security force which U.S. officials have the most confidence in, successfully carried out high-profile arrests and killings of cartel leaders during the last two decades. Most notable in these apprehensions, include the two times drug lord Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán was arrested.
This new strategy is a stark contrast to AMLO's "hugs, not bullets" approach which focused on addressing poverty instead of taking cartels head on.
Thanks to Trump's pressure, AMLO is starting to get the memo and is beginning to take his country's security seriously.

Roger Stone jury foreperson's anti-Trump views surface, raising new questions about his trial and conviction
Roger Stone jury foreperson's anti-Trump social media posts surface, other jurors scrutinized, as Dems call for Barr's resignation
Newly revealed anti-Trump views of the foreperson of the jury that convicted former Trump adviser Roger Stone - and new revelations about the political ties of other jurors - have raised questions about how the case was handled and whether Stone's lawyers could seek a new trial.
Former Memphis City Schools Board President Tomeka Hart revealed Wednesday that she was the foreperson of the jury that convicted Stone on obstruction charges last year – and soon afterward, her history of Democratic activism and a string of her anti-Trump, left-wing social media posts came to light. Hart confirmed to CNN and other media organizations that she had written a Facebook post supporting the Justice Department prosecutors in the Stone case who abruptly stepped down from their posts Tuesday, saying she "can't keep quiet any longer." The prosecutors apparently objected after senior DOJ officials overrode their recommendation to Jackson that Stone face up to nine years in prison.
In addition, it was revealed that U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson had denied a defense request to strike a potential juror who was Obama-era press official with admitted anti-Trump views – and whose husband worked at the same Justice Department division that handled the probe leading to Stone's arrest. All these revelations raised the prospect that Stone's team could again seek a new trial, especially if Hart provided inaccurate responses under oath on her pretrial questionnaires concerning social media activity.
Meanwhile, lawmakers, including Sens. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., and Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., called on Attorney General William Barr to resign over his handling of the Stone case. The House Judiciary Committee announced Wednesday it will question Barr during a March 31 hearing.

House Intel Committee Republicans Boycott Hearing Due to Schiff's Refusal to Address FISA Abuses
Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee boycotted a hearing on Wednesday, complaining that the committee's Democratic chairman Adam Schiff has neglected proper oversight of the intelligence community by failing to hold a hearing on the Justice Department inspector general's report detailing the FBI's FISA abuses.
"Under your chairmanship, the House Intelligence Committee has strayed far from its mandate of overseeing the Intelligence Community," the panel's nine GOP members wrote in a letter to Schiff obtained by the Daily Caller.
"Until the Committee prioritizes oversight activities related to urgent and critical concerns, Republican Members cannot support distractions from our core responsibilities," they added.
The Republican representatives afterwards boycotted a hearing of the Strategic Technology and Advanced Research Subcommittee on the development of artificial intelligence for national security, criticizing the hearing as a "publicity event."
In December, the Justice Department's inspector general released a report concluding that the FBI omitted crucial details in its requests for warrants to surveil Trump campaign associate Carter Page, specifically that the agency neglected to inform the FISA court that the controversial Steele dossier, cited in applications to spy on Page, was unreliable.
The dossier was compiled by former British intelligence officer Christopher Steele who was investigating Donald Trump for an opposition research firm hired by the Hillary Clinton campaign. The dossier purported to show connections between the Trump campaign and the Kremlin.
The DOJ inspector general did not say the FISA court should have declined to grant the warrants, but Attorney General William Barr has disagreed, saying the FBI launched an "intrusive investigation" of the Trump campaign on the "thinnest of suspicions" that were "insufficient to justify the steps taken."
"We have gone months at a time in which we've hardly held any oversight-related briefings or hearings at all," the Intelligence Committee Republicans wrote to Schiff. "Until the Committee prioritizes oversight activities related to urgent and critical concerns, Republican Members cannot support distractions from our core responsibilities."

Joseph Mifsud, one of the key players in the Russiagate scandal, was last seen in Zurich while visiting his lawyers on May 21 2018 before disappearing. The Associated Press had mentioned a picture of him shot with an iPhone which has never been published. Il Foglio can reveal the exclusive picture of Joseph Mifsud, to whom special counsel Robert Mueller referred to as "The Professor" while investigating on Russian interferences in the American electoral campaign.
A long-standing faculty member at the Link Campus, a Rome-based university chaired by former Italian interior minister Vincenzo Scotti where many prominent Five Star Movement officials have taught, the Maltese lecturer is now back at the forefront of the Russiagate investigation. According to the Washington Post and the New York Times, US president Donald Trump sent his Attorney general William Barr on a mission to Rome on September 27 to speak to Italian officials. The Trump administration is keen to "investigate the investigators", meaning it is trying to gather information on the Mueller investigation in order to discredit the special counsel's findings. Trump has reportedly pressured the Australian PM Scott Morrison, probably to verify the alleged involvement of the austrialian ambassador Alexander Downer, and is now appealing to the Italian government for help.

Jewish U.S. Attorney General William Barr Makes Slapping A Jew A Federal 'Hate' Crime
"
Tiffany Harris, the Black woman who made headlines for randomly slapping three Jewish women in December on the streets of Brooklyn for no apparent reason whatsoever - and then quickly being released from jail - has been charged with federal hate crimes:
"U.S. Attorney General William Barr announced the Justice Department's decision to charge Tiffany Harris in a meeting Tuesday morning with Jewish leaders in Brooklyn at which he pledged "zero tolerance" for anti-Semitism.
"These are the kinds of cases that maybe in the past would have been treated locally, but I think it's important for the federal government to plant its flag," Barr said at the meeting. "We will move aggressively when we see this kind of activity."
Harris has emerged as a flashpoint in the debate over a bail reform law that went into effect Jan. 1 in New York state. The law, which prohibits bail requirements for most nonviolent and minor offenses, was intended to ensure that defendants are not treated differently based on their financial means.
Harris' arrests - after her release, she was arrested again for assault - took place before the law went into effect. Still, politicians who oppose the law have cited the 30-year-old woman in making the case that judges should have discretion to impose bail requirements.
"A bigger, stronger example should have been made of this violent anti-Semitic criminal, not the opposite," Lee Zeldin, a Republican Jewish congressman from Long Island, said earlier this month.
That appears to be happening with the federal charges, which come amid Barr's "zero tolerance" pledge and as the New York Police Department seeks ways to circumvent the bail law.
"I am appalled that Tiffany Harris is being used as a scapegoat for the fear-mongering surrounding bail reform," Lisa Schreibersdorf, Harris' lawyer, told the New York Daily News on Tuesday. "
The U.S. Attorney General, William Barr, is jewish through his father and should have recused himself in this case for the conflict of interest, but it's an antisemitic 'canard' to claim that Jews cannot be objective about a legal matter involving their fellow Jews.
Bear in mind that none of Harris' jewish 'victims' were seriously injured by these 'attacks', except perhaps their 'dignity'.
White people are permanently maimed and murdered by Blacks in random attacks almost every day in America, but those attacks will never be prosecuted as Federal crimes.
The reason Harris was let out on bail after slapping the Jew was that the court did not consider her crime 'serious' and there were obviously no injuries to her 'victims'. But now that she got out on bail and did it again, Jews want that bail loophole closed.
When a White person is murdered by that loophole, no one cares.
When a Jew gets slapped, an example needs to be set.
The idea that merely slapping a 'protected class' in America has now reached the level of a Federal crime should really make people wake up to what's coming. This is just the beginning.
This two-tier justice system will increase antisemitism, not reduce it, and it should be Jews themselves who object to this dangerous special treatment.
"
To be clear, I still support Trump and Barr, nobody is perfect, but only speaking out against this "Jews are special" bullshit will lead to peaceful change.
And obviously, shit like this makes people hate Jews, and is dangerous for Jews.

Attorney General William Barr to testify before House Judiciary Committee
The arrangement comes as Democrats have demanded answers about Barr's apparent intervention in the sentencing of Roger Stone.
Attorney General William Barr has accepted an invitation to testify to the House Judiciary Committee next month, ending a year-long standoff that began when the panel first demanded his testimony in the aftermath of special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation.
The arrangement comes as Democrats have demanded answers about Barr's apparent intervention in the sentencing of President Donald Trump's longtime ally Roger Stone, who was convicted last year on charges that he lied to congressional investigators and threatened a witness.
Hours after Trump railed against Justice Department prosecutors for recommending a seven- to nine-year sentence for Stone, DOJ rebuked its own team and issued a revised recommendation calling for a lighter sentence. The four prosecutors assigned to Stone's case abruptly withdrew on Tuesday.
On Wednesday morning, Trump hailed Barr for "taking charge" of the matter, confirming suggestions that it was the attorney general himself who intervened.
Barr's appearance before the committee will bring him face to face with some of Trump's fiercest political adversaries, including Chairman Jerry Nadler, who subpoenaed the Justice Department last year to obtain Mueller's underlying evidence and has gone to court to overrule Barr's refusal to share the grand jury evidence Mueller collected.
Democrats have a long list of issues they're likely to press Barr on, including his involvement in decisions surrounding Trump's decision to withhold military funds from Ukraine last year, and his handling of a whistleblower complaint about the episode that DOJ determined should be withheld from Congress, overruling an intelligence community inspector general.

COLLUSION
DOJ Attorney Says Russian Government Had Nothing To Do With Troll Farms
By Adam Mill
JULY 11, 2019
A newly released transcript reveals details of a humiliating hearing that took place the day before Robert Mueller's puzzling press conference.
A Robert Mueller with a surprisingly frail voice took to the lectern on May 29, 2019. Visibly uncomfortable, he delivered a puzzling address to reporters curious about the strangely timed press conference. Mueller spoke for a few minutes until arriving at what now appears to be the real purpose of the press conference: damage control.
"As the grand jury alleged in a separate indictment, a private Russian entity engaged in a social media operation, where Russian citizens posed as Americans in order to influence an election," he said. "These indictments contain allegations, and we are not commenting on the guilt or the innocence of any specific defendant. Every defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty."
We already knew at that point that Mueller had worked with Attorney General William Barr to redact the report to remove references which could harm "ongoing investigations," or infringe on the privacy of "peripheral third parties." But he overlooked one category in redactions: Prosecutors aren't supposed to try cases in newspapers and press conferences.
Are Press Conferences Customary-or Appropriate?
In his effort to seem fair and conciliatory to his old friend Mueller, Barr told America that, "As the special counsel's report makes clear, the Russian government sought to interfere in our election. But thanks to the special counsel's thorough investigation, we now know that the Russian operatives who perpetrated these schemes did not have the cooperation of President Trump or the Trump campaign..."
Mueller's report said something similar: "the investigation established that Russia interfered in the 2016 presidential election through the 'active measures' social media campaign carried out by the IRA, an organization funded by Prigozhin and companies that he controlled."
Recall that after the Department of Justice (DOJ) held a dramatic press conference announcing indictments of Russian companies for allegedly interfering in the American presidential election, one of those defendants, Concord, hired an attorney to fight back. That case, as I've written here and here, has turned into a disaster for the DOJ and America's cherished traditions of freedom of speech.
"Russia interfered in the election" became such an established truth of the mainstream press that expressing skepticism would be labeled a "conspiracy theory." But now, in open court, an attorney representing the Department of Justice has admitted that the Russian government had nothing to do with the internet troll farm case.
Mueller and Barr's reckless publicity of unproven "Russian interference" allegations as "established" confronted federal Judge Dabney L. Freidrich with a challenge to her authority to preside over a trial to determine whether Concord is guilty of anything. Again, the Mueller report publicly pronounced that the Mueller team "established that Russia interfered in the 2016 presidential election through the 'active measures' social media campaign." Really? So why are we even bothering to have a trial if the government has already "established" that Concord is guilty?
DOJ Won't Tie Russian Government to Troll Farm
A newly released transcript reveals details of a humiliating hearing that took place the day before Mueller's puzzling press conference. The judge asked the prosecutor, "Can you address also the specific tie to the Russian government, which is the overarching comment that the attorney general made tying both this case and then the case involving the hacking and the release of the e-mails, the GRU case, to the Russian government?"
Buckle up, buttercup, because you're not going to believe DOJ's response: "The report doesn't say that." What? I thought we "knew" that the Russian government committed an act of war by posting politically charged information on the internet. Now the DOJ is backing away from any tie between the internet troll farm and the Russian government?
The DOJ has now admitted that the Mueller report "itself does not state anywhere that the Russian government was behind the Internet Research Agency [and Concord] activity." Whoa. The judge then asked, "So it is the government's position that tying Concord and its co-defendants to the Russian government is not prejudicial?"

Rudy Giuliani, president Trump's personal attorney and the former mayor of New York City, is producing a documentary on Hunter Biden, according to Yahoo News.
Giuliani has reportedly begun conducting interviews for the documentary and approaching investors.
The report of the documentary comes less than a week after the Senate voted to acquit Trump on impeachment charges, though Giuliani reportedly began his efforts last month.
Giuliani did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Hill.
Last week, Giuliani said in an NPR interview that the administration should continue investigating former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden after the Senate impeachment trial concluded.
Trump alleges that the former vice president used his office during the Obama administration to remove Viktor Shokin, a top Ukrainian prosecutor at the time, to try to help his son. Biden did seek Shokin's removal, but he was reflecting a position held by the Obama administration, as well as allies in Western Europe.
Trump's efforts to get Ukraine to investigate Biden were at the center of the impeachment case against him.
Giuliani, who is not a U.S. official or officeholder, has been a key player in Trump's dealings with Ukraine.
Lev Parnas, an associate of Giuliani's who has been indicted, provided materials to the House Intelligence Committee tying Giuliani to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
He also provided a video of Trump allegedly dismissing ousted U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch after Parnas suggested that she supported Trump's impeachment.
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, said Sunday on CBS's "Face The Nation" that "if Rudy Giuliani has any information coming out of the Ukraine, he needs to turn it over to the Department of Justice, because it could be Russian propaganda."
Graham suggested Attorney General William Barr would create an avenue for Giuliani to provide that information and the Justice Department would verify it.

Justice Department has been reviewing Ukraine material for "several weeks," source says
Washington - Justice Department officials have been "quietly" reviewing records and documents from Ukraine for "several weeks," a source familiar with the matter tells CBS News.
The source said staff outside of Main Justice in Washington have been assigned by Attorney General William Barr to review the Ukraine matter, adding that the review is being handled by the U.S. Attorney's Office in Pittsburgh and is separate from U.S. Attorney John Durham's probe into the origins of the FBI's Russia probe.
The new review includes some material provided by Rudy Giuliani, the president's personal attorney, but goes beyond matters regarding former Vice President Joe Biden and his son, Hunter, who served on the board of a Ukrainian energy company.
President Trump urged the president of Ukraine to investigate the Bidens and supposed Ukrainian election interference in a July 2019 phone call that eventually led to his impeachment. Democrats charged him with abusing his power by pressuring a foreign leader to investigate his domestic political opponent.
But calls to investigate the Bidens and events in Ukraine have gained new life in the wake of Mr. Trump's acquittal in his Senate impeachment trial.
On Sunday, Senator Lindsey Graham, the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, told "Face the Nation" that Barr had established a process for Giuliani to submit information that he collected in Ukraine to the Justice Department. Graham warned that any material coming from the former Soviet republic "could be Russian propaganda."
On Monday, Barr said the Justice Department had "an open door to anybody who wishes to provide us information that they think is relevant" and had established an "intake process in the field" for receiving and verifying material from Ukraine. He said any information from Giuliani or others would be "carefully scrutinized by the department and its intelligence community partners so that we could assess its provenance and its credibility."
"We have to be very careful with respect to any information coming from the Ukraine," Barr said at an unrelated press conference. "There are a lot of agendas in the Ukraine. There are a lot of crosscurrents. And we can't take anything we receive from the Ukraine at face value.'
Democrats reacted with fury over the Justice Department's willingness to examine material about Ukraine and the Bidens, accusing the administration of once again targeting the president's political rivals based on spurious allegations. House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler wrote a letter to Barr expressing his "serious concern" over the situation and demanding answers about the "intake process."
"As you know, the Department has formal, established channels by which to receive information and begin investigations," Nadler wrote. "This new channel to Mr. Giuliani would seem to be a significant departure from those traditional channels."

UNREAL! DOJ Prosecutors Delayed General Flynn Sentencing to Give His Former Attorneys at Covington and Burling Adequate Time to Save Face
Federal Judge Emmet Sullivan on Monday canceled General Flynn's sentencing scheduled for February 27 "until further order of the court."
General Flynn formally asked to withdraw his guilty plea last month and accused federal prosecutors of "egregious government misconduct."
Federal prosecutors then backed down and offered Flynn probation after asking for up to six months prison time.
Flynn's lawyers are still working through withdrawing Flynn's guilty plea because the government asked for an extension to consider Flynn's motion to withdraw his plea.
Flynn's lawyer Sidney Powell opposed the extension and argued, "The Department of Justice should agree to the withdrawal of the plea. Accordingly we oppose any further extension of the briefing schedule."
So Judge Sullivan indefinitely postponed Flynn's sentencing hearing.
Now Sara Carter reports the for the delay in sentencing is because the prosecution wants to give his previous defense team from Covington and Burling time to protect its reputation.
Via Sara Carter:
Government prosecutor Joycelyn Ballantine filed an unexpected motion Sunday in the case against Michael Flynn for the express purpose of seeking to protect Flynn's former defense team.
Yes, it's true and in the prosecutor's own words: Government prosecutors said in their filing they want "to make certain and clear that counsel [Covington & Burling] may take the necessary steps to vindicate their public reputation by addressing and defending against the defendant's claims of ineffective assistance of counsel, and equally to vindicate the integrity of this Court's previous proceedings, the government asks this court to issue the attached proposed order."
Really? Now the US Attorney for the District of Columbia and the Department of Justice are in the business of protecting and working to protect the "public reputation" of Covington & Burling-a well-known international law firm based in DC? Do the new United States Attorney Timothy Shea and Attorney General William Barr know that federal prosecutors-who had already identified a serious conflict of interest held by Covington in the Flynn case-are subjecting Flynn to more proceedings now to protect Covington?
A serious conflict of interest-indisputable because it was recognized by both the government and Covington by November 1, 2017-well before Flynn entered a guilty plea or even made a proffer to the prosecutors- is one of the main reasons Flynn's lawyer Sidney Powell filed to withdraw his guilty plea several weeks ago. She noted in her filing then that his former lawyers failed to advise him timely, fully or properly of the firm's 'conflict of interest in his case' regarding the Foreign Agents Registration Act form it filed on his behalf, and by doing so "betrayed Mr. Flynn."

DOJ Sought Continuance Of Flynn Case To 'Vindicate' Public Reputation Of His Former Legal Team
By /our girl/ Sara Carter
Government prosecutor Joycelyn Ballantine filed an unexpected motion Sunday in the case against Michael Flynn for the express purpose of seeking to protect Flynn's former defense team.
Yes, it's true and in the prosecutor's own words: Government prosecutors said in their filing they want "to make certain and clear that counsel [Covington & Burling] may take the necessary steps to vindicate their public reputation by addressing and defending against the defendant's claims of ineffective assistance of counsel, and equally to vindicate the integrity of this Court's previous proceedings, the government asks this court to issue the attached proposed order."

In fact, there was no dispute that Covington had a serious conflict and it was so serious that the government raised it with Covington twice, beginning November 1, 2019, as reported.

U.S. Attorney Scott W. Murray's Statement Regarding Sanctuary Cities
https://www.justice.gov/usao-nh/pr/us-attorney-scott-w-murray-s-statement-regarding-sanctuary-cities
CONCORD- Yesterday, Attorney General William Barr addressed the dangers that sanctuary cities and sanctuary policies pose to the general public. In jurisdictions that have adopted these policies, local law enforcement officers are restrained from working with their federal law enforcement partners. The result is that federal law enforcement officers are hampered in their efforts to locate, arrest, and remove people who are in the United States illegally. This may include individuals who are actively engaged in criminal conduct.
Barr's remarks resonate in New Hampshire, where the opioid crisis has been fueled by foreign drug cartels who exploit our citizens for the sake of making a profit. Their lethal drugs reach our state through a network of traffickers who often employ criminal aliens as dealers to sell drugs in our communities. To shield themselves from arrest, criminal aliens often reside outside of our state, sometimes living in sanctuary cities where they feel safe.
The highest obligation of the government is to protect its citizens, especially from victimization by criminals. This requires coordination on the part of law enforcement at all levels. When local communities adopt sanctuary policies, those policies can jeopardize public safety by preventing the federal government from arresting and prosecuting removable aliens. While reasonable people can debate the merits of various immigration policies, few would contest that those who commit serious criminal offenses while unlawfully inside this country should be prosecuted and then removed from the United States. When a sanctuary jurisdiction refuses to honor an immigration detainer and releases a felon onto the street, all of our citizens are endangered. These policies also endanger the brave law enforcement officers who must try to identify and arrest criminal aliens after they have been released by sanctuary cities.
Here in New Hampshire, we frequently prosecute criminals who are unlawfully in this country, including those who have taken up residency in sanctuary cities in other states. Many of these criminal aliens have distributed fentanyl, heroin and other dangerous drugs, thereby causing great suffering. It is not uncommon to encounter criminal aliens who use fraudulent documents to mask their true identity and immigration status. If these criminals are released before they can be removed from the United States, it can be challenging to locate them again. Enforcing our laws is a complicated and difficult undertaking and sanctuary policies only make it more difficult to protect our citizens.
While New Hampshire has not been in the forefront of the sanctuary movement, it is important to realize that we are negatively impacted by the adoption of these policies in other states. The reality is that criminals can shelter behind sanctuary policies to the detriment of everyone else in society. This is especially true if you are an interstate drug dealer looking for a place to hide while hooking Granite Staters on your deadly product.

Senators: IG FISA Abuse Report Misled Public About Crossfire Hurricane
https://thefederalist.com/2020/02/10/senators-ig-fisa-abuse-report-misled-public-about-crossfire-hurricane/
Sens. Chuck Grassley and Ron Johnson dropped that bombshell in a letter delivered to Attorney General William Barr that requested Barr declassify the information hidden in the redacted footnotes. While the declassified version of the Grassley-Johnson letter did not identify the four footnotes at issue, a detailed analysis of the IG report suggests the redacted information concerned Christopher Steele's sources and potentially the FBI's purported predication for the launch of Crossfire Hurricane. These conclusions come from a deep-dive into the IG report read in tandem with the Grassley-Johnson letter.
That letter noted that the senators had "reviewed the classified report of the Office of the Inspector General (OIG) with regard to the FBI's Crossfire Hurricane investigation, and [were] deeply concerned about certain information that remains classified." Their concern? "That certain sections of the public version of the report are misleading because they are contradicted by relevant and probative classified information redacted in four footnotes."
The next sentence is the key, as it establishes that the redacted information concerns not just a few details addressed in the IG report, but goes to the heart of the entire Crossfire Hurricane investigation: "This classified information is significant not only because it contradicts key statements in a section of the report, but also because it provides insight essential for an accurate evaluation of the entire investigation."

Trump administration suing King County to allow deportation flights from Boeing Field
The U.S. Justice Department is suing King County to force it to allow Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) deportation flights to leave from Boeing Field, U.S. Attorney General William Barr announced Monday.
King County announced last year that it would seek to stop ICE-chartered flights from using county-owned Boeing Field to send immigrants to their home countries or to bring others in from around the country for incarceration at the Northwest Detention Center in Tacoma.

Rachel Maddow Says Giuliani And Barr Appear To Be Joining Forces To Dig Up False Dirt On Dems
Rachel Maddow said on Monday night that it's starting to look like Rudy Giuliani and William Barr are joining forces to dig up dirt on Donald Trump's election year political opponents.
The MSNBC host said that Giuliani may be under criminal investigation for his Ukraine dealings, but that hasn't stopped Barr from setting up a "special process to receive information from him" that could "give credence to false claims" about Trump's political opponents.
"Maybe President Trump is going to run for reelection in part by having the Justice Department under William Barr give credence to false claims about his political opponents," Maddow said.

DOJ Confirms Giuliani Providing Evidence In Ukraine Investigation
US Attorney General William Barr acknowledged on Monday that President Trump's personal attorney, Rudy Giuliani, has been providing the Department of Justice with information collected during a months-long investigation of Ukraine.
The former New York mayor has been interviewing witnesses and gathering evidence to shed light on what the Bidens were up to during the Obama years, and get to the bottom of claims that Kiev interfered in the 2016 US election in favor of Hillary Clinton.
Barr said that Giuliani's Ukraine findings must be carefully vetted to ensure accuracy and authenticity, according to Bloomberg.
"The DOJ has the obligation to have an open door to anybody
who wishes to provide us information that they think is
relevant," said Barr during a press conference in Washington, adding "We have to be very careful with respect to any
information coming from Ukraine. There are a lot of agendas in the Ukraine, there are a lot of cross-currents and we can't take anything we receive from the Ukraine at face value."
Barr didn't specify what kind of information Giuliani has been providing. Trump's personal lawyer has previously said he has been collecting information about the activities of former Vice President Joe Biden and his son, Hunter, in Ukraine. Giuliani's efforts became a central factor in Trump's impeachment for pressuring the Ukrainian government to announce investigations into the Bidens to help his re-election. -Bloomberg
Giuliani has been providing conservative news network OAN with regular exclusive interviews from his travels:

Justice as in DOJ
Justice Department receiving information on Bidens from Giuliani: Senator
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Justice Department is receiving information on former Vice President Joe Biden and his businessman son, Hunter Biden, from President Donald Trump's personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani, a top Trump ally in the Senate said on Sunday.
Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham said Attorney General William Barr told him about the arrangement on Sunday morning and that Justice Department officials were evaluating Giuliani's information to determine whether it is genuine.
"The Department of Justice is receiving information coming out of the Ukraine from Rudy. He (Barr) told me that they have created a process that Rudy could give information and they would see if it's verified," Graham told the CBS News program Face the Nation.
Justice Department officials were not immediately available for comment.
News of the arrangement surfaced days after the Senate acquitted Trump on impeachment charges that he abused his power by asking Ukraine to investigate the Bidens.
Trump had based his demands on unfounded allegations of corruption. House investigators alleged that Giuliani pursued damaging information about the Bidens in Ukraine as Trump's personal lawyer.
Hunter Biden sat on the board of the Ukrainian gas company Burisma while Joe Biden, now a Democratic presidential candidate, was vice president.
Two Republican senators - Chuck Grassley and Ron Johnson - are also conducting an investigation of U.S. government records to determine whether there was a conflict of interest.
Graham said he spoke to Barr and Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Richard Burr on Sunday, after Giuliani told an interviewer that he had unearthed key evidence from Ukraine.
"They told me: 'Take very cautiously anything coming out of the Ukraine against anybody,'" Graham said.
"Any documents coming out of the Ukraine against any American, Republican or Democrat, need to be looked at by the intelligence services who have expertise - I don't - because Russia is playing us all like a fiddle."
Graham said he would refrain from his own probe of the Bidens and concentrate instead on the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court's decision to issue warrants that led to a federal investigation into allegations that Trump's 2016 presidential campaign colluded with Russia to interfere in the election.
"Here's what I want to tell the president: I'm not going to be the Republican Christopher Steele," Graham said.
Steele is the former British spy who produced a dossier on Trump that the FBI used in its Russia probe. Republicans have condemned the dossier as a sham document filled with Russian propaganda.

Q Research General #10341: Impeachment Boon Edition
'Bullets, Not Hugs': Mexico Deploys Elite Marines To Fight Drug Cartels In Response To Pressure From Trump Admin
Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador has deployed Mexico's largely sidelined elite marine force to fight drug cartels, following pressure from the Trump administration to beef up its fight against illicit substances, according to the Wall Street Journal - which notes that the move marks a shift from a "counternarcotics strategy that largely ended the pursuit of high-profile arrests and focused almost exclusively on poverty alleviation."
"We are operating again," said one senior Mexican navy officer, adding "The targets we need to go after have been defined."
The new strategy comes amid growing alarm in Washington that Mexico has failed to control the drug trade - highlighted by the November murder of nine US citizens by suspected cartel hit men. According to preliminary numbers, 2019 murders in Mexico are on track to exceed 2018's record of 36,685, according to the report.
Spearheading the Trump administration's push is US Attorney General William Barr, who has visited Mexico twice to encourage AMLO to bring the marines back to counternarcotics enforcement, as well as beefing up extraditions of suspects who have fled the US while wanted for crimes. In January, Barr urged the Mexican government to target fentanyl labs, as well as crack down on seaports used to deliver precursor chemicals used in the labs.
In exchange for the enhanced crackdown, the US has agreed to step up efforts to prevent guns from being smuggled into Mexico, according to the Journal's sources.
The marines, the Mexican security force that U.S. officials say they trust the most, were behind most high-profile arrests and killings of cartel leaders in the past two decades, including twice capturing drug lord Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán.
The elite navy force was largely sidelined by Mr. López Obrador soon after he took office in late 2018, part of a strategy by the new government to halt the pursuit of top cartel figures and focus instead on attacking poverty-an approach it dubbed "hugs, not bullets."
Last year, the marines took part in few counternarcotics operations. But in recent weeks, marine units have been involved in a flurry of high-profile arrests, including of the head of a Mexico City cartel and close relatives of two major drug lords. -Wall Street Journal
Mexico-city based security consultant Eduardo Guerrero told the Journal that the "Hugs, not bullets" approach is changing, and that he expects Americans " to take a very proactive role in pushing Mexico to confront the most powerful groups, especially the Sinaloa and the Jalisco New Generation cartels."

Looks like it (vote tallies) all got Computer Fried
Fried=Cooked
Cooked=Rigged
Nobody knows who the real winner is'
Potus tweeted out fried 2x, important point.
1-Trump formed but disbanded the election fraud commission, many states unwilling to cooperate (DS?)
'The Democrats, both on and off the commission, made very clear that they were not interested in determining the scope and extent of voter fraud and, indeed, they were trying to stop the commission in its tracks', Kobach said
2-Assigns DHS to Lead and monitor election security measures (interDepartmental). Potus commissions MIL CyberCommand
The operation marked the first muscle-flexing by U.S. Cyber Command, with intelligence from the National Security Agency, under new authorities it was granted by President Trump and Congress last year to bolster offensive capabilities.
Before the midterms, the United States Cyber Command created a so-called Russia Small Group of American officials to disrupt election influence campaigns
3- Attorney General William Barr, Secretary of Defense Mark Esper, Acting Secretary of Homeland Security Kevin McAleenan, Acting Director of National Intelligence Joseph Maguire, FBI Director Christopher Wray, U.S. Cyber Command Commander and NSA Director Gen. Paul Nakasone, and CISA Director Christopher Krebs today released the following joint statement:
https://www.dhs.gov/news/2019/11/05/joint-statement-doj-dod-dhs-dni-fbi-nsa-and-cisa-ensuring-security-2020-elections
4-DHS stated for 2020 they will use the same working groups as they did in 2018.
So after forming a Commission that Ds would not cooperate with. Potus puts MIL CyberCommand + (NSA) on DHS Election Security Group. 2018 Elections as many recall were going great Early….We held Senate and Ds won house only with 'manual' fraud, recounts and adding new fake ballots (harvesting). It appears though the Cyber Component was in fact safe, and protected. When Ds realized this early, they focused mainly on the West Coast to buy time for manually rigging, they were successful. (remember the fires, shooting too–warnings).
So knowing full well the reporting App would be compromised, the CC+NSA determined the App Servers were frying/cooking/rigging votes at which time they fried their App systems and ensured the rigged votes and the App fraud could not be utilized.
So going forward noone is going to use the App and cyber fraud should be in check, so Ds have manual illegal voting and harvesting, etc. to cheat. You see some positive exposure by JW, etal, and FBI, DHS is finding tons of fake I.D.s and such, and DOJ, DHS is doing what they can with D states lax voter i.d. laws, etc. We however do need something major to combat this en masse.
The whole Iowa debacle did create a backlash for lack of paper trails, so Potus, etal. is in a position to push common sense measure. This is organized stuff the fraud so taking out some key players before Nov. may be part of the plan. Anons have also speculated that there is evidence of Fraud in Broward with the pipe bomb ff?, whereby ballots were forensically marker. Q mentioned paper ballots CoC, how many are printed, etc.

Feds are lining up more indictments related to Chinese cyber-activity, officials say
U.S. prosecutors are preparing to issue new charges against Chinese nationals related to alleged hacking and insider threats at U.S. organizations, senior Department of Justice officials said Thursday.
"Chinese theft by hacking has been prominent," Attorney General William Barr said in a speech at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington, D.C. "Those actions by China are continuing, and you should expect more indictments and prosecutions in the future."
It is unclear when prosecutors will issue the next indictment related to Chinese activity. Asked when that would happen, John Demers, the assistant attorney general for national security, would only say "soon."

White House dismisses idea of U.S. buying Nokia, Ericsson to challenge Huawei
U.S. Vice President Mike Pence on Friday and the top White House economic adviser dismissed an unusual suggestion from U.S. Attorney General William Barr that the United States consider taking control of two major foreign rivals of China-based Huawei Technologies Co Ltd. Barr, a former general counsel at Verizon Communications Inc (VZ.N), said on Thursday the United States and its allies should consider taking a "controlling stake" in Finland's Nokia (NOKIA.HE) and Sweden's Ericsson (ERICb.ST) to counter Huawei's dominance in next-generation 5G wireless technology.
White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow added later on Friday that the United States was working closely with Nokia and Ericsson, saying the companies' equipment was essential to the buildout of 5G infrastructure.
But he said the "U.S. government is not in the business of buying companies, whether they're domestic or foreign," adding that "there's nothing to prohibit American tech companies from acquiring" them.
Pence earlier in the day had suggested an alternative approach when asked by CNBC for his response.
"Great respect to Attorney General Barr, but we believe the best way forward is what Ajit Pai announced just over the last several days," Pence said, referring to the Federal Communications Commission's chairman's efforts to free up more spectrum for 5G wireless use.
"That's the plan the president has endorsed and will be carrying forward," Pence said, adding that the United States can expand 5G "by using the power of the free market and American companies."
The White House, and representatives for Barr and Pai all declined to comment.

Barr, a former general counsel at Verizon Communications Inc , said on Thursday the United States and its allies should consider taking a "controlling stake" in Finland's Nokia and Sweden's Ericsson to counter Huawei's dominance in next-generation 5G wireless technology.
Pence suggested an alternative approach when asked by CNBC for his response. "Great respect to Attorney General Barr, but we believe the best way forward is what Ajit Pai announced just over the last several days," Pence said, referring to the Federal Communications Commission's chairman's efforts to free up more spectrum for 5G wireless use. "That's the plan the president has endorsed and will be carrying forward," Pence said, adding that the United States can expand 5G "by using the power of the free market and American companies."
A spokeswoman for Barr declined to comment. The White House and a spokesman for Pai did not immediately comment. Shares in Nokia rose 4% and Ericsson shares were up nearly 5% Friday. Both companies declined to comment. Nokia and Ericsson have a combined market capitalization of about $53 billion and it is unclear what source of funds the U.S. government could potentially tap to take stakes in the firms or if foreign regulators would approve.
In a remarkable statement underscoring how far the United States may be willing to go to counter Huawei, Barr on Thursday disclosed proposals "by the United States aligning itself with Nokia and/or Ericsson." Barr said the alignment could take place "through American ownership of a controlling stake, either directly or through a consortium of private American and allied companies." Barr said that "putting our large market and financial muscle behind one or both of these firms would make it a far more formidable competitor and eliminate concerns over its staying power, or their staying power." "We and our closest allies certainly need to be actively considering this approach," he added.

To counter Huawei, U.S. could take 'controlling stake' in Ericsson, Nokia: attorney general
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Attorney General William Barr said on Thursday the United States and its allies should consider the highly unusual step of taking a "controlling stake" in Finland's Nokia and Sweden's Ericsson to counter China-based Huawei's dominance in next-generation 5G wireless technology. In a remarkable statement underscoring how far the United States may be willing to go to counter Huawei Technologies Co, Barr disclosed in a speech at a conference on Chinese economic espionage that there had been proposals to meet the concerns "by the United States aligning itself with Nokia and/or Ericsson." Barr said the alignment could take place "through American ownership of a controlling stake, either directly or through a consortium of private American and allied companies." "Putting our large market and financial muscle behind one or both of these firms would make it a far more formidable competitor and eliminate concerns over its staying power, or their staying power," Barr said. "We and our closest allies certainly need to be actively considering this approach," he added at the event hosted by Washington's Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS).
Both firms have a combined market capitalization of about $50 billion and it is not clear what source of funds the U.S. government could potentially tap to take stakes in the firms or if foreign regulators would approve. Ericsson declined to comment, while Nokia did not immediately comment. The companies' shares edged higher after Barr's comments in European trading. Last month, a group of six U.S. senators introduced legislation to provide over $1 billion to invest in Western-based alternatives to Chinese equipment providers Huawei and ZTE and accelerate development of an open-architecture to allow for alternative vendors to enter the market for specific network components.
Barr said China had emerged as the "top geo-political adversary" and added: "China has stolen a march and is now leading in 5G … They have already captured 40 percent of the market and are now aggressively pursuing the balance." U.S. government investments in public companies are rare except in the case of bailouts to save ailing firms and jobs, and such investments in foreign companies are even rarer. U.S. officials have criticized Huawei for its close ties to the Chinese government and they added the company to an economic blacklist last year, saying it was involved in activities contrary to U.S. national security. The Trump administration has pressed nations not to grant Huawei access to 5G networks and alleged Huawei's equipment could be used by Beijing for spying, which the Chinese company has repeatedly denied. President Donald Trump signed an executive order last year Barring U.S. companies from using telecommunications equipment made by companies posing a national security risk.
At the same CSIS event, FBI Director Christopher Wray said Beijing was seeking to steal American technology by "any means necessary." He said the bureau currently had about 1,000 open investigations of Chinese technology theft across its 56 regional offices, while FBI counterintelligence chief John Brown said it had arrested 24 people last year in China-related cases and another 19 already in 2020. Wray said the investigations spanned "just about every industry sector" and the threat needed to be addressed through action across the whole of the U.S. government.
China was aggressively exploiting U.S. academic openness to steal technology, using "campus proxies" and establishing "institutes on our campuses," Wray added.

Christopher Wray: FBI working to 'claw back' intelligence gleaned from warrants against Carter Page
FBI Director Christopher Wray told Congress the bureau has started to "claw back" information gathered through Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrants against Trump campaign associate Carter Page. Wray made the comments earlier this week when appearing before the Democrat-led House Judiciary Committee during his first congressional testimony in the wake of Department of Justice Inspector General Michael Horowitz's damning investigation.
Horowitz concluded that the FBI's Trump-Russia investigation was flawed, and he criticized the DOJ and the FBI for 17 " significant errors and omissions" related to secret surveillance court filings targeting Page. The filings relied on salacious and unverified allegations contained within British ex-spy Christopher Steele's dossier. "The failures highlighted in that report are unacceptable - period. They don't reflect who the FBI is as an institution, and they cannot be repeated," Wray testified. "The FBI has embraced every last one of the inspector general's recommendations, but we're also making a number of improvements above and beyond."
Republican lawmakers pushed the FBI director for specifics about what the FBI was doing to figure out how so many things were allowed to go wrong in the Page FISA process, how it would discipline those involved, and how it would ensure that such mistakes didn't happen again. Rep. Doug Collins, a Georgia Republican, asked Wray if he'd looked into whether the FBI followed the so-called "Woods procedures," named for FBI lawyer Michael Woods, who developed the guidelines. According to those guidelines, the DOJ and FBI are supposed to verify the factual accuracy of each assertion in FISA applications. "Did the FBI conduct a Woods review on the Carter Page FISA applications?" Collins said. "I'm not asking for the Horowitz report - I'm asking about this specific issue." Wray responded: "We have done specific reviews of the materials underlying the Carter Page FISA applications, including a number of steps that we've taken lately to, in effect, claw back the information that was collected under those applications."
The FBI declined to elaborate on what the bureau director meant by "clawing back" the FISA information, but the FISA Court revealed in rare public filings that in the wake of Horowitz's report, the DOJ told the FISA Court they believed the final two Page FISA warrants were "invalid" and were still reviewing the first two. The FBI told the court it was working to "sequester" all the information obtained through the Page FISA requests.
"The government further reports that the FBI has agreed 'to sequester all collection the FBI acquired pursuant to the Court's authorizations in the above-listed four docket numbers targeting [Carter] Page," the FISA Court's presiding judge, James Boasberg, wrote. In a rare public order, the FISA Court criticized the FBI's handling of the Page applications as "antithetical to the heightened duty of candor" and demanded an evaluation from the bureau. The FISA Court also ordered a review of all FISA filings handled by Kevin Clinesmith, the FBI lawyer who deceptively altered a key document about Page in the third renewal process. Clinesmith now is under criminal investigation by U.S. Attorney John Durham, a prosecutor from Connecticut who was tasked by Attorney General William Barr with investigating the origins of the Trump-Russia inquiry.

'No concrete proposition' from U.S. to back Huawei rival Ericsson: Swedish minister
Sweden's digital minister stressed Ericsson's (ERICb.ST) importance for jobs and technology in Europe on Friday after a U.S. official suggested the United States buy stakes in the telecoms gear maker or Finland's Nokia (NOKIA.HE) to counter Huawei's dominance in 5G. U.S. Attorney General William Barr said in a speech on Thursday that the United States and its allies should consider the highly unusual step of taking a "controlling stake" in one or both of the Nordic rivals to China-based Huawei.
5G networks are at the center of a dispute over technology between the United States and China as they are expected to host a range of critical functions from driverless vehicles to smart electric grids and military communications, underscoring their importance to national security. The United States has blacklisted Huawei and is in the midst of a worldwide campaign to convince allies to ban the Chinese giant from their 5G networks, alleging its equipment could be used by Beijing for spying - which Huawei denies.

JUSTICE DEPARTMENT
Barr says no investigations into 2020 candidates, campaigns without his approval
Attorney General William Barr notified federal agents and lawyers Wednesday that they cannot open investigations of presidential candidates, their campaigns, or advisers without his approval.
His directive follows a report by the Justice Department's inspector general that harshly criticized the FBI's investigation of the 2016 Trump campaign. It recommended an evaluation of the kind of sensitive matters that should require high-level approval, particularly those involving politics.
Barr told NBC News in December that "there has to be some basis before we use these very potent powers in our core First Amendment activity." He suggested in January that changes were coming, saying at a news conference that he and FBI Director Chris Wray agreed that opening a counterintelligence investigation of a presidential campaign "would be something that the director of the FBI would have to sign off on and the attorney general would have to sign off on."

Lawmakers Demand Investigation Into Chinese Propaganda Published in NYT, WaPo
DOJ asked to review China Daily ads following Free Beacon report
Lawmakers are calling on the Justice Department to launch a "full-fledged investigation" into China Daily after the Washington Free Beacon found that the propaganda outlet ignored federal law.
China Daily has spent millions to publish state-sanctioned propaganda in top American newspapers without complying with disclosure requirements for foreign agents, prompting Rep. Jim Banks (R., Ind.), Sen. Tom Cotton (R., Ark.), and 33 other members of Congress to demand a probe into the outlet's activities. On Thursday, the group sent a letter to Attorney General William Barr asking that the Justice Department "promptly review and produce a report on China Daily's compliance" with federal disclosure laws.
"Propaganda that seeks to obfuscate communist atrocities deserves to be counteracted," the letter says. "[The Foreign Agents Registration Act] already arms the federal government with tools to fight pernicious foreign influence. The DOJ should use them to clamp down on Chinese propaganda."
The Free Beacon previously found that China Daily ran hundreds of propaganda articles designed to resemble authentic news reports in the pages of the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and Washington Post. The propaganda outlet, which serves as the mouthpiece of the Chinese Communist Party, failed to report these ad purchases to the U.S. government for more than 30 years.
Banks compared tensions with China to the Cold War in an email to the Free Beacon. "We convinced the world that democracy was superior to communist authoritarianism. Well, it looks like we have to fight that battle again-this time against a far wealthier and equally determined adversary," he said. "The federal government must use every weapon in its arsenal to ensure the triumph of our values-the consequences of failure are unspeakable."
The letter, signed by eight senators and 27 representatives, is not the first time Congress has pushed the Justice Department to take action against a Chinese state entity for violating FARA requirements. In 2019, the department ordered Chinese propaganda outlets Xinhua News Agency and CGTN America to register as a foreign agent after a bipartisan group of senators demanded an investigation into their activities.

AG Barr Requires FBI to Obtain His Approval Before Investigating 2020 Candidates
Attorney General William Barr has issued a memo requiring the FBI to obtain approval from Barr himself before conducting any investigation into any 2020 presidential election candidate.
"In certain cases, the existence of a federal criminal or counterintelligence investigation, if it becomes known to the public, may have unintended effects on our elections," Barr wrote in the memo, which was obtained by the New York Times. The attorney general went on to emphasize that "we also must be sensitive to safeguarding the departmentâ?™s reputation for fairness, neutrality and nonpartisanship."
The memo establishes certain requirements for the FBI and other agencies under the purview of the Justice Department to meet before opening a "politically sensitive" criminal or counterintelligence investigation against candidates or donors. Barr must personally give approval for investigations into presidential and vice presidential candidates, as well as their respective senior staffs.
The move follows Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz's report on the FBI's obtainment of a FISA warrant against former Trump-campaign adviser Carter Page as part of the agency's investigation into suspected collusion between the Trump campaign and Russian agents. The report detailed various errors and material omissions in the FBI's initial application for a FISA warrant and subsequent renewals.
"We identified multiple instances in which factual assertions relied upon in the first FISA application were inaccurate, incomplete, or unsupported by appropriate documentation, based upon information the FBI had in its possession at the time the application was filed," the report read.
The FBI in 2016 carried out investigations pertaining to both presidential candidates. While the Trump campaign was investigated for possible connections to Russia, a claim that the Mueller Report subsequently found to be based on insufficient evidence, the bureau in October 2016 also reopened its investigation into Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server for classified messages.

Top U.S. officials to spotlight Chinese spy operations, pursuit of American secrets
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - An aggressive campaign by American authorities to root out Chinese espionage operations in the United States has snared a growing group of Chinese government officials, business people, and academics pursuing American secrets.
In 2019 alone, public records show U.S. authorities arrested and expelled two Chinese diplomats who allegedly drove onto a military base in Virginia. They also caught and jailed former CIA and Defense Intelligence Agency officials on espionage charges linked to China.
On Thursday, U.S. Attorney General William Barr, FBI director Christopher Wray and U.S. counterintelligence chief William Evanina will address a Washington conference on U.S. efforts to counter Chinese "economic malfeasance" involving espionage and the theft of U.S. technological and scientific secrets.
China's efforts to steal unclassified American technology, ranging from military secrets to medical research, have long been thought to be extensive and aggressive, but U.S. officials only launched a broad effort to stop alleged Chinese espionage in the United States in 2018.
"The theft of American trade secrets by China costs our nation anywhere from $300 to $600 billion in a year," Evanina, director of the National Counterintelligence and Security Center, said in advance of Thursday's conference.
The Chinese embassy in Washington rejected the U.S. allegation as "entirely baseless."
"The people-to-people exchange between China and the US is conducive to stronger understanding between the two peoples and serves the fundamental interests of our two countries," it said in an emailed statement.
Of 137 publicly reported instances of Chinese-linked espionage against the United States since 2000, 73% took place in the last decade, according to the Washington-based Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS).
The think-tank's data, which excludes cases of intellectual property litigation and attempts to smuggle munitions or controlled technologies, shows that military and commercial technologies are the most common targets for theft.
In the area of medical research, of 180 investigations into misuse of National Institutes of Health funds, diversion of research intellectual property and inappropriate sharing of confidential information, more than 90% of the cases have links to China, according to an NIH spokeswoman.
One main reason Chinese espionage, including extensive hacking in cyberspace, has expanded is that "China depends on Western technology and as licit avenues are closed, they turn to espionage to get access," said James Lewis, a CSIS expert.
In late January alone, federal prosecutors in Boston announced three new criminal cases involving industrial spying or stealing, including charges against a Harvard professor.
Prosecutors said Harvard's Charles Lieber lied to the Pentagon and NIH about his involvement in the Thousand Talents Plan - a Chinese government scheme that offers mainly Chinese scientists working overseas lavish financial incentives to bring their expertise and knowledge back to China. They said he also lied about his affiliation with China's Wuhan University of Technology.
During at least part of the time he was signed up with the Chinese university, Lieber was also a "principal investigator" working on at least six research projects funded by U.S. Defense Department agencies, court documents show.
A lawyer for Lieber did not respond to a request for comment.

US Government Wants to Ban Encryption in the Name of Protecting Children
Social media companies may soon be forced to allow backdoor government access to encrypted information.
In the name of protecting the children, U.S. lawmakers and the Department of Justice want to ban end-to-end encryption, opening Internet users to a host of attacks on their privacy by not only the government but also malicious hackers.
Attorney General William Barr is claiming he wants to protect the children but his former law firm, Kirkland & Ellis, protected Jeffrey Epstein-one of the most serial child sex traffickers. And it turns out Barr's own father, Donald Barr, was the headmaster of an elite New York City school that hired college dropout Epstein to teach math and physics.
Last week, Barr expressed at the White House Summit on Human Trafficking that encryption was aiding human traffickers. He said:
"We live in a digital age, and like everyone else, human traffickers are relying increasingly on digital communication and the Internet ... and more and more, the evidence we rely on to detect and to deal with these predators is digital evidence," Barr said. "However, increasingly, this evidence is being encrypted.
We all recognize that encryption is important in the commercial world to protect consumers like us from cybercriminals, but now, we're seeing military-grade encryption being marketed on consumer products like cellphones and social media platforms and messaging services, and that means that we cannot get access to this data.
We just can't have chatrooms and websites that are involved in grooming children victims or selling trafficked women - sites that are impenetrable to law enforcement-and we have to do something about this."
Barr has previously said that technology companies using end-to-end advanced encryption and other security measures are effectively turning devices into "law-free zones."
"As we use encryption to improve cybersecurity, we must ensure that we retain society's ability to gain lawful access to data and communications when needed to respond to criminal activity," Barr said in his keynote address at the International Conference on Cybersecurity at Fordham University Law School in Manhattan.

Justice Department meeting state AG offices Tuesday to discuss Google
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Justice Department officials will meet on Tuesday with representatives of state attorneys general to discuss their investigations of search and advertising giant Google, according to sources familiar with the plans.
The meeting is in the afternoon, according to one source, and will include officials from six or seven states, including Texas, according to a second source familiar with the matter.
The Justice Department and nearly all state attorneys general have opened investigations into allegations that Alphabet's Google has broken antitrust law. The probes focus on search bias, advertising and management of Google's Android operating system.
Google, Facebook, Amazon and Apple are all the focus of federal, state and congressional investigations following complaints that the four tech giants abused their clout in dealings with smaller companies.
The probes are being carried out by the Justice Department, the Federal Trade Commission, state attorneys general and the House Judiciary Committee. U.S. Attorney General William Barr has said he would like to see them wrapped up this year.
The companies have come under fire from all parts of the political spectrum, with President Donald Trump critical of the companies and Senators Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders calling for the break-up of Amazon and Facebook.

Terrorist Organization Claims Credit For December Attack On Florida Naval Base
An Islamic terrorist organization claimed credit this weekend for the December 6, 2019, terrorist attack on Naval Air Station Pensacola which resulted in the deaths of three U.S. sailors and severe injuries to eight other Americans.
"Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula claimed on Sunday that it directed a Saudi military officer to carry out the shooting," The New York Times reported. "In an audio recording released on Sunday, the leader of the Yemen-based group, Qassim al-Rimi, claimed responsibility for the Dec. 6 attack at Naval Air Station Pensacola, according to SITE, an organization that tracks jihadist media."
The Times noted that the group "produced a copy of his will as well as correspondence that indicated he had been in contact with Al Qaeda. Experts said those elements gave the claim a plausible air."
The development shines new light from a separate report from late last week that indicated that the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) reportedly killed al-Rimi in a drone strike last month in Yemen.
Bruce Riedel, a scholar at the Brookings Institution and a former C.I.A. officer, told The Times that Al-Qaeda's release of the audio was "a statement that AQAP has infiltrated the Saudi military, which is an emBarrassment for the Saudis."
Colin P. Clarke, a senior fellow at a New York-based research organization, said that Al Qaeda's claim "makes the F.B.I.'s battle with Apple for access to [the terrorist's] phone even that much more critical."
On January 13, Attorney General William Barr announced the findings of the government's findings and declared that the attack on the base was a terrorist attack.
"The evidence shows that the shooter was motivated by jihadist ideology," Barr said. "During the course of the investigation, we learned that the shooter posted a message on social media on Sept. 11 of last year that said: 'the countdown has begun.' Over Thanksgiving weekend, he visited the 9/11 Memorial in New York City. He also posted other anti-American, anti-Israeli, and jihadi messages on social media, and did so two hours before his attack at the naval base."

A new bill could punish web platforms for using end-to-end encryption
A Section 230 change could have an ulterior motive
A new bill would reduce legal protections for apps and websites, potentially jeopardizing online encryption. The draft bill would form a "National Commission on Online Child Exploitation Prevention" to establish rules for finding and removing child exploitation content. If companies don't follow these rules, they could lose some protection under Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, which largely shields companies from liability over users' posts.
Reports from Bloomberg and The Information say that Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) is behind the bill, currently dubbed the Eliminating Abusive and Rampant Neglect of Interactive Technologies (or EARN IT) Act. It would amend Section 230 to make companies liable for state prosecution and civil lawsuits over child abuse and exploitation-related material, unless they follow the committee's best practices. They wouldn't lose Section 230 protections for other content like defamation and threats.
The bill doesn't lay out specific rules. But the committee - which would be chaired by the Attorney General - is likely to limit how companies encrypt users' data. Large web companies have moved toward end-to-end encryption (which keeps data encrypted for anyone outside a conversation, including the companies themselves) in recent years. Facebook has added end-to-end encryption to apps like Messenger and Whatsapp, for example, and it's reportedly pushing it for other services as well. US Attorney General William Barr has condemned the move, saying it would prevent law enforcement from finding criminals, but Facebook isn't required to comply. Under the EARN IT Act, though, a committee could require Facebook and other companies to add a backdoor for law enforcement.
Riana Pfefferkorn, a member of the Stanford Law School's Center for Internet and Society, wrote a detailed critique of the draft. She points out that the committee would have little oversight, and the Attorney General could also unilaterally modify the rules. The Justice Department has pushed encryption backdoors for years, citing threats like terrorism, but they haven't gotten legal traction. Now, encryption opponents are riding the coattails of the backlash against big tech platforms and fears about child exploitation online.
Techdirt founder Mike Masnick also notes that Section 230 doesn't cover federal crimes - so the Justice Department could already prosecute companies if they're enabling abuse. This bill would just let it write a new set of rules by threatening much broader liability.
A spokesperson for Graham's Senate Judiciary Committee emphasized to Bloomberg that the bill isn't final. And the Justice Department is taking a closer look at Section 230 next month, holding a public workshop to discuss potential changes.

Trump to appoint White House official to take on human trafficking
President Trump will appoint a White House domestic policy adviser to focus exclusively on reducing human trafficking, according to a top administration official. Trump will sign the order Friday at a two-hour summit on human trafficking at the White House, where White House senior adviser Ivanka Trump is scheduled to speak. Attorney General William Barr, survivors of human trafficking, and representatives of tribal and local governments will be in attendance. During a visit to Atlanta last month, Ivanka Trump said the White House was committed to ending trafficking, which she likened to "modern day slavery."
The position will be created by executive order, and the appointee will coordinate activities between the White House and federal agencies, Domestic Policy Director Joe Grogan said Friday in a call with reporters. Grogan praised Ivanka Trump's work on the issue and said that her office would join the efforts of the Department of Health and Human Services, the Department of Justice, and the State Department, a senior administration official said. A candidate has yet to be publicly identified.
Some prominent anti-trafficking organizations have criticized the summit and said they will not attend, though others have said they will. Refugees International President Eric Schwartz, a former Barack Obama appointee, said in statement that policies pursued by the Trump White House endangered victims of human trafficking by reversing legal protections for them. He cited immigration rules limiting the decreased number of special visas for trafficking victims looking to legalize their immigration status and access services.

Attorney General William Barr compared the leadership styles of President Trump and former President George H.W. Bush, two men he has served as the nation's top law enforcement official.
"I love both," Barr said during an interview with Cardinal Timothy Dolan, the archbishop of New York. "H.W. was more low-key. He had a very strong interest in foreign policy, which he really focused his attention on."
Trump, Barr said, has a more open mind when consulting with advisers.
"He'll bring people in to explain things to him," Barr said. "He'll reach down and bring the experts in, and he listens."
Barr, 69, served as attorney general for Bush from 1991 until 1993. Bush died last year at the age of 94.

AG Barr Compares Working With Trump And Bush: 'I Love Both Men,' But Trump 'Listens'
Attorney General William Barr discussed working with former President George W. Bush and President Donald Trump, saying that he loves "both men" and adding that "Trump listens." Barr discussed the differences between Bush and Trump during an interview with Archbishop of New York, Cardinal Timothy Dolan, and co-host, Father Dave Dwyer, CSP on their show "Conversation with Cardinal Dolan" on SiriusXM's The Catholic Channel. Barr also served as attorney general for Bush.
"They're very different," he explained. "I love both men. H.W., was more low-key. He had a very strong interest in foreign policy in which he really focuses attention on." Barr added that Trump is "very hands on." "He'll bring people in to explain things to them," he said. "He'll reach down and bring the experts in ... and he listens." The attorney general sees Trump several times a week, he told Dolan and Dwyer. "He's very easy to work with. He has a good sense of humor. He's very direct."
Barr explained that what people see of Trump in public is "very much what you see in private." "He doesn't have two different acts that he puts on," Barr added. "He's much more engaged than people give him credit for, and he's a strong leader. He is getting things done. I just sometimes say if he wasn't facing the resistance that he is and the dogged opposition that he faces, you just wonder how much more he could accomplish because he's accomplished a lot in the face of great resistance."

AG Barr: DOJ Will Pursue Anti-Semitic Crimes More Aggressively
NEW YORK-Attorney General William Barr met with a small group of Jewish leaders in Borough Park, Brooklyn, to address the recent spate of anti-Semitic attacks across the New York metropolitan area and how the Department of Justice (DOJ) is combating it.
Barr-who spoke to a group of about two dozen at the Borough Park Jewish Community Council on Jan. 28-pledged to crack down on anti-Semitic crimes at the federal level, as he announced new measures for Jewish residents to report hate crimes. He said the DOJ will pursue antisemitic crimes more aggressively.
"This morning I am putting out a written directive to all U.S. attorneys offices, and it will require each office to initiate, or to reinvigorate if they already have taken this action, their relationship and outreach to the Jewish communities in their district," Barr said.
"As part of this, I want each U.S. attorney's office to provide a point of contact for reporting hate crimes to their respective offices," he added.
Allen Fagin, executive vice president and chief professional officer of the Orthodox Union, was one of those invited to attend the meeting with Barr, which he said lasted roughly an hour and a half.
"Knowing that our government authorities are committed to dealing with these incidents as vigorously and comprehensively as they possibly can is itself an enormously important step and an important message," Fagin told The Epoch Times in a phone call following the meeting.
He said Barr conveyed "loudly and unequivocally" from the highest levels of the administration that anti-Semitism would not be tolerated in the country. Anti-Semitic incidents in New York have continued on into the new year.
"It was important to the community sense of well-being ... and provided an enormous level of comfort, for which there was great gratitude," Fagin added.

Attorney General William Barr met with Jewish leaders in Brooklyn, New York amid a wave of anti-Semitic attacks. The nation's top law enforcement officer attended a gathering at the Boro Park Jewish Community Center Tuesday, where he discussed anti-Semitism and ways to combat it.
Barr said the Department of Justice has zero tolerance for this kind of violence, adding there needs to be a point of contact for reporting hate crimes at the federal level.
"I am extremely distressed by the upsurge in violent hate crimes against the Jewish community," he stated. "I have seen a marked increase of this violence and discriminatory practices up to and including violent acts in and around the country."

House Democrats announced a list of four constitutional law experts who will testify at a Dec. 4 public impeachment hearing, and the panel will include pundits who have criticized the Trump administration and defended the impeachment proceedings. It also includes a witness who has criticized the impeachment investigation.
The Democrats have summoned Noah Feldman, a Harvard Law School professor, to testify in Wednesday's hearing on the constitutional grounds for impeaching the president. Feldman was among the first people to suggest Trump was trying to bribe Ukrainian government officials into investigating his political rival, former Vice President Joe Biden. Democrats have adopted the term, which Feldman in September said constitutes an impeachable offense.
"What makes Trump's alleged conduct so terrible is not that he froze aid to Ukraine for a policy purpose. What makes Trump's alleged conduct outrageous is the appearance that he was doing it for his own personal benefit," Feldman wrote for Bloomberg Opinion.
Feldman has called for a new special counsel to investigate Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani and Attorney General William Barr, and he also called on Democrats to make the often secretive impeachment proceedings more accessible to the public.
Stanford Law professor Pamela Karlan, a former Obama administration Justice Department official, is also a witness, Democrats announced Monday.

Two Top GOP Senators Request Barr Declassify Four Footnotes In Horowitz Report, Saying Section Of Report Misled Public
Chairman of the Senate Homeland Security Committee and Chairman of the Senate Finance Committee have formerly requested that Attorney General William Barr declassify four footnotes in Department of Justice Inspector General Michael Horowitz's report on the FBI's FISA abuse investigation. The letter states that the classified footnotes contradict information in Horowitz's report that appears to have misled the public.
U.S. Sens. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., and Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, sent the classified letter Tuesday evening and questioned the contradiction between the footnotes and what was made public by Horowitz's team regarding the bureau's Crossfire Hurricane investigation. However, the Senator's did not disclose what section of the December FISA report contradicts the footnotes in their findings.
Specifically, we are concerned that certain sections of the public version of the report are misleading because they are contradicted by relevant and probative classified information redacted in four footnotes, letter states.
The Senator's state in their letter to Barr that certain sections of Horowitz's report on the FBI are misleading the public.
Part of the classified letter, which was obtained by SaraACarter.com states:
"We have reviewed the findings of the Office of the Inspector General (OIG) with regard to the FBI's Crossfire Hurricane investigation, and we are deeply concerned about certain information that remains classified," the letter states. "Specifically, we are concerned that certain sections of the public version of the report are misleading because they are contradicted by relevant and probative classified information redacted in four footnotes. This classified information is significant not only because it contradicts key statements in a section of the report, but also because it provides insight essential for an accurate evaluation of the entire investigation. The American people have a right to know what is contained within these four footnotes and, without that knowledge, they will not have a full picture as to what happened during the Crossfire Hurricane investigation."
Johnson and Grassley's office noted that "for maximum public transparency, the senators wrote a separate unclassified cover letter to describe their request."

The president did not elaborate on the specific charge but repeated his assertion that the previous administration "spied" on his campaign in the course of the Russia probe. "They'd been spying on my campaign," Trump told CBN News's David Brody. "Turned out I was right. Let's see what happens to them now." Trump signaled he was looking forward to the results of U.S. Attorney John Durham's ongoing investigation into the origins of the Russia investigation, calling the Connecticut prosecutor "highly respected" and praising Attorney General William Barr.

Answer: BREITBART: DOJ: Democrats Paid Pennsylvania Election Officials to Stuff Ballot Box by JOHN BINDER21 May 2020 https://archive.fo/VqyTf A former Judge of Elections in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, has been charged and pleaded guilty to illegally adding votes for Democrat candidates in judicial races in 2014, 2015, and 2016. On Thursday, the Department of Justice (DOJ) announced charges against former Judge of Elections Domenick DeMuro, 73, for stuffing the ballot box for Democrats in exchange for payment by a paid political consultant. The charges, and guilty plea, include conspiracy to deprive Philadelphia voters of their civil rights by fraudulently stuffing the ballot boxes for specific Democrat candidates in the 2014, 2015, and 2016 primary elections and a violation of the Travel Act. “The Trump administration’s prosecution of election fraud stands in stark contrast to the total failure of the Obama Justice Department to enforce these laws,†Public Interest Legal Foundation President Christian Adams said in a statement. “Right now, other federal prosecutors are aware of cases of double voting in federal elections as well as noncitizen voting. Attorney General William Barr should prompt those other offices to do their duty and prosecute known election crimes.â€

DeMuro admitted that he illegally added votes for Democrats on Election Day and then certified later that the votes counted were accurate. “DeMuro fraudulently stuffed the ballot box by literally standing in a voting booth and voting over and over, as fast as he could, while he thought the coast was clear,†U.S. Attorney William McSwain said in a statement. “This is utterly reprehensible conduct.

The move is a stunning reversal for one of the signature cases brought by special counsel Robert Mueller. It comes even though prosecutors for the last three years had maintained that Flynn had lied to the FBI about his conversations with the Russian ambassador in a January 2017 interview. Flynn himself admitted as much, and became a key cooperator for Mueller as he investigated ties between Russia and the 2016 Trump campaign. In court documents being filed Thursday, the Justice Department said it is dropping the case “after a considered review of all the facts and circumstances of this case, including newly discovered and disclosed information.†The documents were obtained by The Associated Press. The Justice Department said it had concluded that Flynn’s interview by the FBI was “untethered to, and unjustified by, the FBI’s counterintelligence investigation into Mr. Flynn†and that the interview on January 24, 2017 was “conducted without any legitimate investigative basis.†The U.S. attorney reviewing the Flynn case, Jeff Jensen, recommended the move to Attorney General William Barr last week and formalized the recommendation in a document this week. “Through the course of my review of General Flynn’s case, I concluded the proper and just course was to dismiss the case,†Jensen said in a statement. “I briefed Attorney General Barr on my findings, advised him on these conclusions, and he agreed.â€

Answer: WASHINGTON EXAMINER: Durham scrutinizing John Brennan’s handling of Russian interference in 2016 by Jerry Dunleavy | February 14, 2020 09:02 AM https://archive.fo/heDFU U.S. Attorney John Durham is reportedly reviewing John Brennan’s analysis of Russian election interference, including scrutiny of the former Obama CIA director’s handling of a secret source said to be close to the Kremlin. Durham, who was selected by Attorney General William Barr in 2019 to look into the origins of the Trump-Russia investigation and the government’s response to Moscow’s meddling, is investigating whether Brennan’s CIA was attempting to keep other agencies in the dark as he pushed for a specific preconceived analytic assessment about Russia’s true intentions in 2016, the New York Times reported Thursday. The top Connecticut prosecutor’s team reviewed emails from the CIA, FBI, and National Security Agency analysts who came together to assess Russia’s interference, the new report revealed, and Durham’s investigators pressed for answers about why some agencies at least temporarily denied other agencies access to secretive intelligence about the Kremlin’s active measures campaign. Durham interviewed agents and analysts from all three agencies, and the report said he was scrutinizing whether the clash over intelligence sharing was the typical sort of bureaucratic turf battle over jealously guarded secrets or an effort to cover something up. Much of this revolves around how the United States government eventually reached its January 2017 intelligence assessment on Russian meddling and whether Brennan was pushing for a biased result. One major battle was about the identity and credibility of a CIA source allegedly close to the Kremlin. The NSA wanted more details about him, which the CIA resisted before providing them. The NSA then disagreed with the CIA and FBI about how much confidence to place in the source. At least some intelligence officials were disturbed by a law enforcement officer such as Durham inquiring into the assessments made by intelligence agencies, though Durham played a similar role in his Obama-era investigation into the CIA's destruction of tapes showing the harsh interrogation of detainees. Durham hasn’t yet interviewed Brennan, though the report said his emails and other records have been requested from the CIA by the U.S. attorney. Retired Adm. Mike Rogers, who was head of the NSA at the time, was interviewed by Durham last summer and fall.

Originally reported by Interfax, then picked up by the newswires forcing the CIA to officially comment. https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2016/03/28/cia-director-brennan-made-secret-trip-to-moscow-a52284 John Brennan, the director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), made a secret visit to Moscow in March, according to Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Oleg Syromolotov. The visit, he said, had nothing to do with Russia's decision two weeks ago to begin withdrawing from Syria. “It’s no secret that Brennan was here,†Syromolotov was quoted by the Interfax news agency as saying Monday. “But he didn't visit the Foreign Ministry. I know for sure that he met with the Federal Security Service (the successor agency to the Soviet KGB), and someone else.†https://www.reuters.com/article/us-russia-usa-cia/cia-boss-brennan-visited-moscow-in-early-march-interfax-idUSKCN0WU0S5 https://sputniknews.com/politics/201603281037100681-brennan-moscow-visit/ US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) Director John Brennan travelled to Moscow in early March to reiterate the US support for a power transition in Syria as well as urge commitment to maintain the cessation of hostilities in the country, CIA spokesman Dean Boyd told Sputnik on Monday. https://libertyunyielding.com/2018/04/22/astonishing-date-former-cia-director-john-brennan-visited-fsb-russia/ Much as we would ordinarily choose to take Boyd’s word for this, his statement doesn’t necessarily add up. For one thing, the FSB is not a service the U.S. would talk to about a geopolitical transition in Syria. Brennan might talk to the FSB about other things, but the story here doesn’t really track. Russian state policy on the succession in Syria is outside the FSB’s lane. For another thing, the chief of the FSB is not Brennan’s counterpart in Russia on such matters.
