It’s fitting that William Barr’s confirmation as attorney general happened just as two powerful law-enforcement figures were trading accusations involving President Trump. Barr’s greatest challenge isn’t antitrust deals, immigration policy or even handling special counsel Robert Mueller. His overriding challenge is to reboot a Justice Department that has shredded its reputation and lost the confidence of Congress and the public.
It’s hard to feel confident in law enforcement when a former deputy director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Andrew McCabe, reveals that a small cabal of unelected senior law-enforcement officers held meetings in May 2017 to plot Trump’s removal from office. In an interview with “60 Minutes” that aired Thursday and a forthcoming book, McCabe says he and other officials, including Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, did head-counts of which cabinet officials might vote to declare the president “unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office” under the 25th Amendment. McCabe claims Mr. Rosenstein repeatedly offered to wear a wire when meeting with Trump.
Rosenstein, who’s expected to resign soon, responded Thursday with a Justice Department statement blasting the claims as “factually incorrect” and highlighting that McCabe was fired for lying to the department’s inspector general. The rest of the statement was pure spin, in which Rosenstein never denied the McCabe claims.

Corrupt just doesn’t adequately describe these Deep State scum.....more like born-criminals and con artists.
Two important products of Congressional investigations:
<><>the 18 Jan 2017 memo declassified by Pres Trump,
<><> the 28 Dec 2018 letter to Sen Mitch McConnell, Acting AG Matthew Whitaker, and DoJ IG Michael Horowitz.
The key facts revealed:
<><> (1) the Obama FBI used, as the factual basis for the FISA applications, bogus info from the Steele dossier, a compilation of anti-Trump info that the FBI had not verified.
<><> (2) Obama’s corrupt FBI nevertheless swore to the truth of that info to obtain surveillance warrants on Carter Page, Trump’s one-time campaign advisor;
<><> (3) in the process of obtaining the search warrants the Obama FBI failed to inform FISA that the Steele dossier was bought and paid for by the DNC and Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign.
The Obama admin....hand-in-hand with his pal, NSA’s Susan Rice.... asked for and obtained hundreds of “unmaskings,” of US citizens’.....
their communications were intercepted by the Obama FBI and NSA as part of so-called intel operations.
Innocent Americans were unmasked, and were used against Trump in the campaign.
<><> Why did the unmaskings even occur, and what information was illegally shared by Rice with Obama and/or Hillary?
<><>What illegal direction did the FBI, the NSA, and other intel agencies take to monitor Trump-related communications?
Outrageously, Democrats have stopped the investigations cold. The most heinous aspect of this Democrat outrage is
that the Obama admin and his factotums ——like Third World tinpot warlords——calculatedly picked over the intel apparat,
set-up to protect the safety and security of Americans, to advance their scurrilous political schemes.
THIS IS ROLLING OUT TO BE THE MOST HEINOUS DEMOCRAT COVERUP EVER CONCEIVED
<><> weaponizing and politicizing the US intel apparat (setup to protect Americans’ safety and security——NOT a campaign spy tool)
<><> crimes perpetrated by Obama govt employees under color of law to affect the outcome of an election-—a heinous Third World MO;
<><> investigations stonewalled by the refusal of the criminal Obama FBI and DOJ to produce documents and provide access to witnesses.
