Democrats Obstruct Justice, Accuse Barr and Durham of Being Trump Assets

In the case of the Barr-Durham deep investigation of Russia-gate, Democrats have crossed the line into obstruction of justice. Eight Senate Democrats who are members of the Senate Judiciary Committee sent a letter to Attorney General Barr in which they “urged” him “to recuse yourself from investigations into the Trump Ukraine matters, including any investigations involving Rudy Giuliani, Lev Parnas, or Igor Fruman, as well as investigations into the origins of the Russia investigation.”

They made this demand one day after learning that the Barr-Durham investigation was now directed toward developing criminal cases. The latter news followed such developments as Barr and Durham going to Italy three weeks ago to gather evidence from the Italian Secret Service, including communications of Joseph Mifsud.

The timing of this letter from Feinstein, Leahy, Durbin, Whitehouse, Klobuchar, Coons, Blumenthal and Hirono evidences their desire to obstruct Barr’s and Durham’s pursuit of justice.

Separately, Blumenthal tweeted “Trump&AG Barr are politically weaponizing DOJ—threatening a return to its darkest days.

“Targeting law enforcers as enemies—simply because they have the spine to stand up to corrupt power—is deeply dangerous, indeed chilling. This line must not be crossed.”

The Senator wants us to applaud Comey, McCabe, Page, Ohr, Strzok, Brennan, Clapper, Obama etc. for standing up to the corrupt power of Donald Trump. All evidence to the contrary, he paints them as absolutely blameless law enforcers in standing up for truth, justice and the American way. And he’s willing to obstruct justice to ensure that their conspiracy against Trump never comes fully to light.

Statements made by House members Schiff and Nadler also fall squarely into obstruction of justice. They too responded to the news of the Barr-Durham investigations becoming probes of criminal behavior within the Department of Justice, the FBI, and intelligence agencies. These are bound to lead to related places like Obama’s State Department and White House.

Schiff and Nadler jointly stated “These reports [of a criminal investigation], if true, raise profound new concerns that the Department of Justice under AG Barr has lost its independence and become a vehicle for President Trump’s political revenge.” For good measure, they added “If the Department of Justice may be used as a tool of political retribution, or to help the President with a political narrative for the next election, the rule of law will suffer new and irreparable damage.”

Schiff and Nadler like Blumenthal begin by absolving the Comey FBI, the Brennan CIA, the Clapper intelligence agencies, and anyone in the Obama administration of any wrongdoing or criminal behavior in the Russia-gate collusion hoax. They are all spotless and innocent. Somehow they know this, despite a mass of evidence suggesting there have been serious crimes committed within these organizations and there are people who are guilty of committing them. Therefore, in their fantasy logic, any Barr-Durham investigations focused on criminal behavior are malicious. And since they also assume without evidence that Barr and Durham are Trump puppets, these investigations must be “for Trump’s political revenge” or “to help the President with a political narrative for the next election.”

In so many words, Democrats are accusing Barr and Durham of not being impartial. Indeed, Schiff and Nadler are accusing Barr and Durham of being Trump assets. There is no evidence whatsoever that this charge is true, but that doesn’t prevent their delivering such slander.

Their objective is to sidetrack the investigations, in other words, obstruction of justice.
