I thank God for Bill Barr. Some of you will not like me posting that. You folks can kiss my @SS.
I fear Mr. Barr and I have a different definition of “inappropriate.” NOT prosecuting an individual for grossly criminal behavior because he/she is running for office is in appropriate. If an individual has committed serious crimes he should be brought to an account whether or not he is running for high office or occupies that office.
You’re not alone.
I do hope your assessment is correct. Recent signals seem to indicate you are, but the timing could be a killer. I wish any indictments had come out 6 months ago.
I agree 100%. Barr is our shining star. Certain people on this board need to grow up and get some patience, along with an understanding of who is and is not on our side.
I’m sure he means well but his dimensionality is lacking. What do I mean by that?
A wartime general prosecutes a war according to several factors. If one or more factors is lacking, the general may lose the war. And by lacking is meant not giving certain factors proper weight, proper priority.
The factors that AG Barr are lacking is capturing the confidence and attending to the morale of the American people. He is appearing in public in an attempt to reassure the public but it does not persuade, it does not convince.
He need not disrupt his investigation schedule to appease the public but he needs to think hard how to rally the people to his mission of restoring justice. And he’s not doing this.
From a side of the box perspective, Barr could go on the attack in the Flynn case, drawing attention to violations of constitutional separation of powers provisions. But he’s not doing that.
Again he needs to think hard how he shores up support for his management of the war between secret enemies. He’s not doing that.
He seems to suffer from the DC federal bureaucrat complacency disease which is likely why the President is warning him in public. Perhaps if he was in a storefront where Antifa bashed in the windows would he then receive a jolt of the urgency to show strength and calm fears.
Again, he need not disrupt Durham’s schedule but he could surprise the enemy with a surprise attack on a related front and sadly he’s not doing that. By ‘related’ is meant related to the coup, the covert Civil War taking place beneath the broadcast channels. For example, arrests of child traffickers does not appear related, the Flynn case is related.
Barr has already shown he’s vulnerable to insider attacks. The Jeffrey Epstein prison fiasco happened on his watch, in a correctional center under his chain of command. People give him one pass on that but not a second time.
History is worth studying here.
During the Civil War, Lincoln had General McClellan to deal with. He ended up firing McClellan against all the ‘advice’ of the DC dukes and barons. Lincoln ended up selecting an uncouth, cussing, whiskey drinking card playing gambler, an outsider who would not only run the enemy into retreat but importantly chase them until they were caught and killed. This was not so important militarily as it was a demonstration for returning confidence to Americans who saw the southern forces arrogantly dismiss the Army of the Potomac.
Barr seems to be acting like McClellan rather than Grant. Note in history it was not the grand frontal assaults that Grant pursued as much as it was the flanking assaults, the sieges and supply cutoffs, and importantly the relentless pursuit of the enemy, never stopping, night and day having the enemy on the run, retaining and expanding the momentum, dominating in spectacular fashion the news.
Grant’s demonstrations strengthened the resolve of the American people of the time. This was enormously important as Americans of the time were demoralized and were thinking perhaps the rebels should be left to their own country. Lincoln and Grant showed Americans the rebels were wrong, they could be defeated, it was worth it to preserve the United States as the speech by Lincoln clearly laid out in the Gettysburg Address conveyed as it was mass printed and distributed to the people.
Barr is at best midway between Grant and McClellan, not good. He needs to step up and show a bloody dagger.
I agree with you! Barr has been the best AG in many, many years. He hasn’t displayed political bias in any way.
Just think about all of the drug ring busts that have happened in recent weeks.
Barr is a bulldog and he adheres to the law.
“I thank God for Bill Barr. Some of you will not like me posting that. You folks can kiss my @SS.”
I like Barr, but based on history it is warranted to remain skeptical.
