Tom Fitton: Robert Mueller needs to be investigated

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jxZm9MvGUkg

Thanks...the real true news is on Lou Dobbs.

I liked this insight on the treatment Hillary got in her investigation vs. the treatment Trump got. From Ace of Spades blog:

"So, Mueller pulled a Comey. You all remember Comey's infamous statement to the press that went like this, "Yeah, Hillary is probably guilty of all kinds of sh* that would land anyone else behind bars in a Federal PMITA prison, but I'm not going to recommend prosecution." And then he invented a whole new legal standard out of thin air: it was because they couldn't prove that she had 'criminal intent' when she did her illegal activities. This lame excuse had legal analysts from coast to coast scratching their heads. Fast forward to Mueller's statement to the press. He said that that Trump wasn't exonerated because they couldn't prove he didn't do things to collude or obstruct justice. Like Comey, Mueller just pulled a whole new legal standard right out of his a$$. If you're Hillary, they have to be able to prove you intended to break the law and you knew you were breaking it before a guilty verdict could ever be considered. And if you're Donald Trump, you're guilty until proven innocent. Again, these are new legal standards, never seen before, and what relates them to each other is that both were invented so the corrupt left can get what it wants. They cloak themselves in a veneer of legitimacy to disguise their grab for power. That's why, when they write books, the usually manage to work in words such as 'truth' or 'higher' or 'duty' or 'loyalty' in the title. As if their lofty intentions are all so noble and pure. But it's all a sham. I'd sooner trust a Scientology affidavit than believe any of these progressive corruptocrats are telling the truth about anything."

snips:

Barr talking about what was done in 2016 to counter Russian election interference:
“Surely the response should have been more than just, you know, dangling a confidential informant in front of a peripheral player in the Trump Campaign.”

“one of the things here is that these efforts in 2016, these counter-intelligence activities that were directed at the Trump Campaign, were not done in the normal course and not through the normal procedures as a far as I can tell.”

"republics have fallen because of Praetorian Guard mentality where government officials get very arrogant, they identify the national interest with their own political preferences and they feel that anyone who has a different opinion, you know, is somehow an enemy of the state. And you know, there is that tendency that they know better and that, you know, they're there to protect as guardians of the people. That can easily translate into essentially supervening the will of the majority and getting your own way as a government official."

JAN CRAWFORD: And you are concerned that that may have happened in 2016?

WILLIAM BARR: Well, I just think it has to be carefully look at because the use of foreign intelligence capabilities and counterintelligence capabilities against an American political campaign to me is unprecedented and it's a serious red line that's been crossed.

JAN CRAWFORD: You- I guess when you said that there were things done that were not the typical run of business, ad hoc, small group, it's not how these counterintelligence operations normally work. I think that maybe Comey and others might say well this was such an extraordinary thing we had to keep it so closely held. So we had to do it differently what's your response to that? Is that legit?

WILLIAM BARR: Well it might be legit under certain circumstances but a lot of that has to do with how good the evidence was at that point. And you know Mueller has spent two and half years and the fact is there is no evidence of a conspiracy. So it was bogus, this whole idea that the Trump was in cahoots with the Russians is bogus

WILLIAM BARR: I'd rather, in many ways, I'd rather be back to my old life but I think that I love the Department of Justice, I love the FBI, I think it's important that we not, in this period of intense partisan feeling, destroy our institutions. I think one of the ironies today is that people are saying that it's President Trump that's shredding our institutions. I really see no evidence of that, it is hard, and I really haven't seen bill of particulars as to how that's being done.

From my perspective the idea of resisting a democratically elected president and basically throwing everything at him and you know, really changing the norms on the grounds that we have to stop this president, that is where the shredding of our norms and our institutions is occurring.

JAN CRAWFORD: And you think that happened even with the investigation into the campaign, potentially?

WILLIAM BARR: I am concerned about that.

Thanks for posting that transcript. The most important parts were not shown on FNC as far as I could tell.
I like where he stands, what concerns him, and what he intends to do about it.
And it’s all very calm and professional. Deadly.

The law about mishandling classified information definitely does NOT have any wording that requires "intent" in order to convict. Inadvertent release (just leaving a piece on a desk is enough) is just as bad as intentionally giving it to someone. It doesn't even matter if anyone else saw it--just leaving it exposed is sufficient for conviction. I know, because I served in USAF for 20 years and had to handle classified documents all through my career. There was never any question about proper handling and storage, or the consequences of not doing it right.

41, very inspiring to have a president with a spine, can’t be bought and is the farthest thing from a politician. It’s been a lifetime!!

God keep you President Trump!! USA # 1!

What took so long? Jeesh, next thing you know they will be giving them 3 squares, a cot, cable TV, opportunity to earn a college degree, etc.

This should be carved in stone when the memorial to AG Barr is made:

saw this in a blog comment about the Mueller report:

"We figured out this guy didn't steal the horse, but he sure is guilty of being pissed that we tried to hang him for it"

That actually fits very well on many of Mueller's Volume 2 "examples" of "obstruction"

Sure they can.

It is nothing more than a simple majority vote.

Of course, it will go nowhere, but they could most certainly impeach him.

Then, we'll have the first American President re-elected after being impeached.

No Bill Clinton was the first, but he was actually guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors.

And NOTHING happened.

This man is a patriot. God Bless WILLIAM BARR. We finally have a real AG.

Nothing happened to Clinton after he was impeached because he wasn’t convicted by the Senate. Although there are differences, impeachment by the House without subsequent conviction by the Senate is somewhat like being charged and tried for a crime, but being found not guilty by the jury. Nothing happens after being found not guilty or not being convicted by the Senate because there’s nothing else to happen.

I love the fact that the Dems aren’t running against Donald Trump this time. They’re running against President Donald Trump. He’ll always be the most experienced candidate in the room.

Thank you President Trump.

The guy who ran a false persecution of a U.S. president, with no justification, now wants facts.

I hope AG Barr sees this tweet.
