Trump for Jan. 6 or taking classified documents

Original Article

Former Attorney General William Barr said he believes former President Donald Trump is morally responsible for the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol but isn't legally culpable.Asked by NBC News' Lester Holt whether he considered Trump "responsible" for the violence at the Capitol, Barr said: "I do think he was responsible in the broad sense of that word, in that it appears that part of the plan was to send this group up to the Hill. I think the whole idea was to intimidate Congress. And I think that that was wrong."But, he added, he hasn't seen evidence that Trump committed an actual crime.

I'd say that Barr is morally responsible AND legally culpable for not investigating the election fraud that everyone seems to know happened but doesn't have the b@lls to look into

Barr’s clever. He knows “morally responsible” is the political equivalent of a criminal conviction. Yet he doesn’t come off as a shitff type idiot. Yet it’s just an opinion, probably just “but for” reasoning which is almost never valid: but for Trump having the rally it never would have happened. My reasoning is that it never would have happened if there had been adequate security and the chief of the capitol police’s request for more security and a declaration of emergency had not been denied. The only beneficiaries of the event have been the dims and antitrupmers. There are very unusual activities in the videos of the event which indicate other forces at work to trigger the event.

Well, DUH, the President decides what's classified! Of course you couldn't prosecute. You couldn't prosecute anything he did on 1/6 either, since he was STILL the President and could have done whatever he wanted until 1/20, include firing your worthless arse.

So, is Barr saying that politicians who gave money to bail out BLM rioters and supported BLM are morally responsible for the riots and destruction?

Trump said to go to the Capitol and peacefully protest. What is wrong with that, morally? And isn't all protest a form of intimidation? It is effectively saying, the people are against what you are doing and will make our voices heard to the public if you do it.

I think the whole idea was to intimidate Congress. And I think that that was wrong." Stupid SOB, either doesn't know the Constitution or is pretending not to. The whole purpose of peaceable assembly (which is what President Trump instructed them to do) and petitioning the government IS to intimidate the government into doing something different. First Amendment: Congress shall make no law prohibiting... the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Obviously Billy Bagpipe Barr hasn't seen the video of PDJT telling the people going to the Capitol to go in peace and not cause problems. The problems were caused by the ones dressed in black, wearing helmets and black back packs. They think we just got off the turnip truck and don't know what is going on. But it really doesn't make a difference to them. This book is his payoff from the swamp for doing as he was told.

Bill Barr was a walking tool for the democrat party and deep state during his stint as AG. He did and said just enough to operate under the radar. Now he has exposed himself for what he is, a deep state operative. He will do and say whatever is necessary to remain in the good graces of those whose sole goal is to undermine the Constitution in order to consolidate their power. These are the folks who actually run this country. Everything else is just window dressing. This bureaucratic nightmare operated in the shadows for decades until recently when they believed they had garnered enough power they needed to make their move unchallenged. This is the preeminent power force driving the insane policies that are destroying us. The democrat party is only a tool, a willing one albeit. What high profile politician or government official is willing to buck this heinous cabal of power hungry madmen? Their confidence comes from the tight control they hold over the majority of politicians. Once they are in the grip of the deep state, they stay there. It brooks no rebellion and very few live to tell the truth even if they are so inclined. The only guy they cannot control is Donald J. Trump. Barr did his part. He refused to look at the obvious evidence of election fraud. Donald Trump had to go and men like Bill Barr facilitated it. My question is how do we rid the country of this cabal that is deeply embedded into every agency of this government and worst of all, controls the intelligence gathering activities inside and outside the country? What I believed was a coup d’etat perpetrated recently, I now believe was achieved long ago very slowly. The faceless puppet masters have been controlling the government for decades. Their master stroke of genius was to be patient and work in a manner that would go unnoticed through various administrations until the believed the time was right and their power secure. Then along came Donald John Trump and he was a threat to their power. He is unafraid and truthful and that is a direct threat. He has to be destroyed. All it takes for the Deep State to succeed is men like Bill Barr who exist which allows them to operate unimpeded.

I gather what turned Barr from saying the mail in ballots were "dangerous" to flip flopping was his meeting with President Trump after the election and President Trump telling him to investigate the stolen election and Barr saying "No!" That's probably what set Trump off and him telling Barr he was fired and to leave immediately. Well, nobody speaks to Atty. Barr that way and gets away with it. So hence, a hit job book. Retaliation is a nasty word sprinkled with vengeance. The problem with what Barr is doing is that eternal Truth: you reap what you sow...or as the world says, what goes around, comes around. Watch and see.

What bothers me is that Joe DiGenova and his wife Victoria highly recommended Barr to Trump. They are Washington insiders and also Trump supporters. I've always like them and still do. Were they that ignorant of Barr? My guess is when Barr was AG for Trump, the big money deep staters made him an offer he couldn't refuse. Many other weaklings in the Trump White House have also taken this path. I would love to see a recent financial statement on Bill Barr and wouldn't be surprised to see a new home purchased in the Caribean or other exotic place in the past couple of years. Long story short...Bill Barr is not a trustworthy person.

Whenever a leftist celebrity makes an idiotic statement, I wonder whether it’s just stupidity on their part or underlying evil machinations. I suspect it’s a combination of both. Certainly, these rich, spoiled ignoramuses have no clue as to how the world really works. Rising prices make nary a dent in their bottom line, so what do they know about economic hardship? However, there is most certainly an element of shadow forces dictating their thinking – and useful idiot pawns like late night hosts are the perfect vehicle for indoctrinating the masses.

The White House on Sunday rejected the argument that increasing domestic oil production would help lower gas prices, as the cost of oil moves toward record highs. Crude oil prices rose as high as $130.50 a barrel on Sunday evening. White House press secretary Jen Psaki released a set of talking points on social media, arguing against a focus on boosting oil production in the United States. “It’s a reminder that real energy security comes from reducing our dependence on fossil fuels,” Psaki wrote, noting that Russia’s continued invasion of Ukraine was causing a spike in oil prices. Psaki pushed back against Republicans calling for more domestic oil production.

President Joe Biden announced on Tuesday the United States would target 'the main artery of Russia's economy' with a ban on energy imports from Moscow, while acknowledging the financial squeeze it would put on Americans already paying record-high prices at the pump. 'Americans have rallied support -- have rallied to support the Ukrainian people and made it clear we will not be part of subsidizing Putin's war,' Biden said at the White House.He also hit back at Republican accusations that his administration cut back US oil and gas production -- pointing out that he actually pumped more oil than his predecessor Donald Trump did during his

Within MAGA circles, talk is turning increasingly to impeaching Joe Biden after the midterm elections—assuming, of course, the Republicans retake the House of Representatives (which appears likely). Unfortunately, actual removal would require 60 votes in the Senate. Even under the most favorable scenario, it’s unlikely the GOP will pick up more than four Senate seats.  Nonetheless, with the strong likelihood the Republicans will take control of the House, impeaching Biden looks viable. Why? Well, for the same reason a Democrat-controlled House impeached Donald Trump—twice.  The Democrats used the impeachment process to persuade millions of middle-of-the-road and independent voters that Trump had done something terribly wrong. Of course, the Democrats’ two impeachment efforts were frivolous

On Sunday’s broadcast of NBC’s “Meet the Press,” former National Security Council Senior Director Fiona Hill insisted former President Donald Trump, despite being out of office for more than a year, played a role in Russian President Vladimir Putin’s decision to invade Ukraine. Hill argued that Trump’s request for a “personal favor” set the wheels in motion for the invasion. “[I] think there’s just the one point that sums everything up that you yourself touched on is that President Trump at a pretty critical period, withheld military assistance to Ukraine that was desperate for it at that particular junction, basically to get Volodymyr Zelensky to do him a personal favor,” Hill said.

On Monday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “All In,” Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-OR) argued that in order to undermine Russia’s power, we have to “end our dependence on oil and have the world transition to renewable energy.” Because Russia will be able to sell oil as long as there’s demand for oil, and called for a “climate emergency.” Merkley said, “As long as there is a world market for oil, Russia will be able to sell its oil. And so, unfortunately, not all my colleagues yet understand that the way to undercut the power of Russia is to end our dependence on oil and have the world transition to renewable energy.”

Republican Senator Rick Scott of Florida, who chairs the National Republican Senatorial Committee, doubled down on his pledge to raise most Americans’ taxes if the GOP retakes the Senate in this year’s midterms.(snip) “Here’s what’s not fair,” he said. “We have hard-working Americans – they’re paying all these taxes, and retirees pay them. Who’s not? We’ve got some billionaires not paying it, and we got people that want free government stuff and they don’t want to have any skin in the game. That’s not fair.”

Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV), a Democrat who has consistently opposed measures to make America energy independent, took thousands in donations from lobbyists for the Russian Nordstream 2 pipeline. As gas prices surged to the most expensive ever recorded on Monday, the revelations about Cortez Masto could severely jeopardize her 2022 reelection campaign. Gas prices on Monday soared in Nevada to at least $4.590 per gallon — the second-highest in the nation behind Hawaii — and even as this happened, the Democrat senator has regularly opposed initiatives that would reduce gas prices and increase American energy independence. For instance, Masto has opposed the Keystone Pipeline, drilling on federal lands,
