Biden Is Part Of The DOJ's Investigation Into Illegal Russian Collusion Scandal Against President Trump - Conflict of Interest

[Persistence Of Memory]

I expect the new AG will wait about 15 minutes before he goes to Durham and asks to see the "evidence" he's "gathered". I would. There has to be a legitimate reason for initiating this snipe hunt. And Barr (unlike Rod Rosenstein) hasn't provided any. Durham's work is being conducted in a vacuum. So far, all this looks like is Barr's attempt at leaving behind a poison pill for the new AG to elevate Durham to a position where it would make it hard for an incoming AG to can him.

You talk about evidence????......LOLOL

Heck we can impeach Biden, if we don't like him. That's how Trump got impeached.

Not for a couple of years.

2023: Biden institutionalized, Harris resigns in plea deal and Kevin McCarthy becomes President.

Any attempt by Biden to end, silence, prevent a final report on Durham's criminal investigation into the scandal he himself was part of, being VP at the time and having proven to have known about / been part of it, would be a criminal conflict of interest.


Durham continues to investigate whether the FBI, Justice Department and Obama administration officials knowingly used the patently false allegations of Trump-Russian collusion to launch an intelligence campaign against the Republican 2016 presidential candidate.

Conducting electronic surveillance under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act and deploying federal investigatory resources on false grounds is not only unprecedented (aside from President Richard Nixon in Watergate), but illegal.

Biden is not just considering whether to hire some of the officials who may have started the unfounded Russia investigation. The president-elect himself may have personal involvement.

On January 5, 2017, while the Obama administration was winding down and the Trump administration was preparing to enter office, then-Vice President Biden attended a White House meeting with President Obama where they discussed surveillance of Michael Flynn, Trump’s incoming national security adviser, with Acting Attorney General Sally Yates and Comey.

The officials were worried that Flynn had passed classified information in conversations with the Russian ambassador about economic sanctions. According to FBI notes of the meeting, Biden may have raised the idea that Flynn had violated the Logan Act, a law enacted in 1799 that makes it a crime for a private citizen to interfere with U.S. foreign policy. But the Logan Act has never served as the basis for a successful prosecution because it likely violates the right to free speech.

Critics claim that Biden raised the Logan Act as a pretext to investigate Flynn for political dirt to handicap the incoming Trump administration.

Contrary to claims that the Durham probe represents political score-settling on the part of Barr, several investigations have already shown that Obama intelligence and law enforcement officials abused the government’s broad surveillance powers to investigate the Trump campaign.

John Yoo: AG Barr support for special counsel backed by surprise Democratic author of 1987 law review article

In 1987, a prominent Democratic U.S. senator wrote a strong argument in favor of appointing special counsels like the one Attorney General William Barr has appointed to investigate the origins of the Trump-Russia collusion probe.

Attorney General William Barr was criticized by many Democrats Tuesday when he revealed that he has appointed John Durham as a special counsel to investigate the origins of the probe of alleged collusion between Russia and the 2016 Trump presidential campaign. But in 1987, a prominent Democratic U.S. senator wrote a strong argument in favor of appointing such special counsels.

The future president-elect wrote: “The need for a special counsel who is to some extent independent of the Attorney General and free of the conflicts of interest that exist when an Administration investigates alleged wrongdoing of its own officials has unfortunately been demonstrated several times in [the last] century.”

In his article, Biden demanded the reauthorization of a law that created prosecutors who operated even more independently than will Durham, who also serves as the U.S. attorney for Connecticut.
Biden explained in 1987 that the federal government needs independent counsels, even though the text of the Constitution may appear to vest the control of prosecution solely in the president, because of the conflict of interest created when high-ranking executive officials break the law.

“There are certain extraordinary moments of crisis when the people’s faith in the integrity and independence of their elected officials is caused to waiver,” Biden wrote. “These scandals tarnish the view that the Attorney General is an independent executive official who can be trusted to enforce the criminal law in the high offices of the government.”

To escape this conflict of interest, Biden argued, a special counsel must have the freedom to investigate a president, Cabinet officials, or the prosecutors or FBI agents themselves without fear of removal, limits on the scope of his or her inquiry, or reduced budgets and personnel (all of which work to control normal prosecutors).


Even if Durham's investigation continues into Biden's Presidency , ACCORDING TO HIM any attempt to fire Barr and/or Durham while the investigation is on-going, if Biden attempts to stop the investigation, impede / obstruct, or prevent a final report from being released he will be GUILTY of CIMINAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST.

Do I think anything will come of the investigation / Durham's report? Hell no. I am just pointing out that Biden's hands are tied while the investigation continues and until Durham's full report comes out.

Barr is fired as soon as Joe takes over. I have no problem with that. Barr will be part of a criminal investigation for obstruction of justice. He's got an orange suit waiting for him too.

So you are OK with a criminal conflict of interest, the VP who took part in the Obama failed coup attempt against Trump, firing the US AG and ending the investigation into the proven crimes and his own involvement in the scandal?

Again, Democrats and snowflakes howled, gnashed their teeth, and declared if Trump had doe the same thing it would be an Impeachable offense...but its ok if a Democrat does it....

Cop that.

Nah, the last 4 years have taught us that the President now has absolute authority and immunity from being charged with any crimes while in office. His lawyer and fixer (the AG) will have absolute control over all investigations at Biden's DOJ.

Is that a problem?

 

[easyt65]

Patients, we can impeach him for any reason, and you loons set the bar that low.

Despite the DHS and Treasury Depts publicly declaring they have physical financial criminal evidence of the Biden family's financial crimes / scandals, the GOP will never have the opportunity to Impeach Biden. The Democrats will oust him via the 25th Amendment and replace him with Harris before his 1st year is up...

It is all about belief. Anyway we are now at the point here areas of our nation can become desolate death beds and many will not care.

Remember how you little whiny-assed bitches cried about how Trump couldn't fire Comey and he was guilty of a crime if he did so....shoe's on the other foot, snowflake.

Yeah Tramp fired him anyway, so the president has been set for Biden to fire Barr and Durham. You reap what you sow!
