Dems Fear Release of Durham's Findings Before the Election
PJ Media ^ | By Rick Moran Jul 30, 2020 3:08 PM EST

Attorney General William Barr reiterated this week that he wouldn’t wait until after the election to release the report of U.S. Attorney John Durham, who is investigating the origins of the Russia collusion story. This has Democrats nervous and preemptively saying that anything Durham finds will be the result of a political witch hunt.

Democrats have a lot invested in the Russian collusion narrative and to have it officially debunked would be very damaging to their election prospects.

Washington Post:

“There’s a real danger, in fact an urgent threat, that anything the Department of Justice does will be timed to aid the president,” Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D- Conn.) said in an interview, adding, “Barr has proven ready, willing and able to distort, distract and deceive.”

At a hearing Tuesday before the House Judiciary Committee, Barr was quizzed briefly by both sides on the matter but offered little to satisfy his questioners.

An “urgent threat”? Well, there’s certainly a threat to the narrative that damaged the Trump presidency, but beyond that, Blumenthal is emitting gas.

Barr’s reticence and Durham’s secrecy about what exactly he’s investigating and where it’s headed stands in shocking contrast to the circus surrounding the Mueller investigation. The volume of leaks to friendly media outlets was astonishingly unprofessional on both the media’s and Mueller’s part. How much of the information from Mueller’s investigation proved to be wrong or inaccurate?

The Durham report is an extension of the Mueller investigation's legalities. They need to have a Hunter Biden investigation.

After the way the Dems treat Barr at the hearing a couple of days ago, I’m sure he’s personally running the report off at the Xerox machine right now.

If Dems are fearing the release of the Durham report, then they are the only ones.

No one I know believes there will be such a report. Maybe after the election. Maybe.

The Durham Report will either not come out
or,
will come out saying “Mistakes were made, but nobody made them.”

Either way, the democrat criminals have nothing to worry about.

Everybody - Stop getting your hopes up.

I don’t think they have anything to worry about, in any case.

No rebuttal. But I will add that the Dems are not fearful the people will realize that Muh Russia was hoax because the Dems never thought it was anything but a hoax. They would be upset at being called out on the hoax.

>> Durham is another pacifier

Way back when, I named Issa, Darrel the Diffuser.

Gowdy was the worst of the bunch.

I do not want a report; I want indictments.

I want CONVICTIONS. And then I want long sentences for those who are convicted of sedition and of an attempted coup against a a duly elected President.

The Democrats have been claiming Russian collusion for four years. The Republicans have been denying it for the same period of time. How would Durham’s findings change anything?

So, what would be the best timing for this?

Doesn't matter, the narrative will be the same regardless of when it's released; just another administration denial of Russian collusion which the Democrats will claim was proven long ago.

When Barr was asked about the fact that the Dems might shut down this investigation if they take control and justice won’t be done he stated that he thinks that could happen. From his reaction I would say it will happen.

If the Democrats take the Senate then they'll take the White House as well so Barr will be out of a job anyway.

They should fear more than that. They have instinctively abandoned their oaths of office for decades, and the people have had enough.

They must release it before the election. If they release it after the election and say Biden wins and it points to Biden as being a big player and has broken the law we will have a big big problem on our hands. If for no other reason. I would think the dems would want his name cleared for the election?
