Turley: Despite the guilty plea, Democrats still denounce this 'investigation of investigators'
The Hill ^ | 08/15/20 | Jonathan Turley

Posted on 08/16/2020 10:37:15 AM PDT by yesthatjallen

“Gosh almighty.” Those words from former Vice President Joe Biden sum up plenty about the announced criminal plea by former FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith. Of course, Biden was not referring to the implications of the FBI lawyer who lied to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act court for the efforts to continue the surveillance of an adviser to the campaign of Donald Trump. Nor was he referring to growing evidence that the Russia investigation was launched based on false and flawed evidence.

Biden was referring to the federal investigation by United States Attorney John Durham that led to the criminal plea by Clinesmith. Like most other Democrats, Biden previously denounced the investigation and the effort to look into criminality. Now that criminality has been found, Democrats and commentators still insist there are no reasons to continue it.

From the start, Democrats overwhelmingly condemned the investigation despite admitting Durham is a respected prosecutor. Leaders like House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff deemed the investigation “tainted” and “political.” Biden mocked the very idea of an “investigation of the investigators” and added, “Give me a break. Gosh almighty.”

These are the same figures who repeatedly cited plea agreements in the special counsel investigation by Robert Mueller as proof that real crimes were waiting to be found. When the plea by former White House national security adviser Michael Flynn was announced, it was cited as the critical development even though FBI agents said they did not believe Flynn had intentionally lied about his conversations with Russian diplomats.

So what would be their position if a dirty cop manufactured evidence against a black person? A dirty cop is a dirty cop. There is no justification for any cop or investigator to ever manufacture false evidence. Every dirty cop needs to prosecuted.

They - the Dims - just don’t care.

Their TDS is so extreme that to them if the Obama administration acted illegally to spy on Trump and manufacture the Russian hoax, that is just fine.

Witch hunt of the innocent? — that’s great.

Investigating obvious crimes and getting guilty pleas? — c’mon man! That’s not fair!

We have been told for the last 4 years the “Russian” investigation against Trump wasn’t political. Just honorable investigators following leads.

The Democrats don’t want the criminal enterprise that was the Kenyanesian Usurpation exposed.
The Republicans don’t either.

I have even more respect for Jonathan Turley for his honesty.

And their frontline troops, the "mainstream media", demonstrate that truth so clearly and openly.

Just so. All that distinhguishes them is the progress of time, maybe sufficient opposition, and they are of like kind to Khmer Rouge, Mao, Castro and assorted others who "made it."

Although I do think the really bad ones are political party agnostic. It just happens that the DEM message is working here and now.

Turley is left of center but is one of the few on that side that’s a relative straight shooter.

Let us all be blunt about this: Those who were involved in the Trump coup attempt should be given a trail and immediately sent to their deaths via a public firing squad. Oppps, that would invariably include ObamaIdiot and BidenIdiot.

A trail? So we're giving them a head start and hunting them are we?

The damage these Deep State critters have done to our nation went on long before the Obama Reign of Horror, but it was no doubt ratcheted up when The One was in the Oval Office. I don’t think the American people are ready to accept the high level of treasonous activities that occurred at this time. It would topple the entire federal government.
