Campaign Donations Show Letter Demanding AG Barr’s Resignation Comes From Leftist Hacks

We always knew they were nothing but a gang of political hacks. Here's the proof. Read the article. It has all the evidence clearly documented:

Letter Demanding Barr’s Resignation Comes From Leftist Hacks

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

First, as The New York Times noted, “Protect Democracy, a nonprofit legal group, gathered the signatures from Justice Department alumni and said it would collect more.” Here’s what the Times and other outlets failed to report: Protect Democracy was founded in 2017 by Ian Bassin, who was the associate White House counsel for President Barack Obama from 2009-2011, and Justin Florence, who also served in the Office of the White House Counsel as a special assistant to the president and associate counsel of the president.

Bassin is also the president of the liberal American Constitution Society and Florence had also served as a senior counsel on the Senate Judiciary Committee for Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.). Protect Democracy also boasts a Who’s Who of the Never Trump resistance as advisors, such as failed presidential candidate Evan McMullin and running mate Mindy Finn.

The media also missed the reality that this latest attack on Barr (and in turn Trump) is nothing but a recycling of Protect Democracy’s earlier outrage over the Robert Mueller report. Shortly after the special counsel’s report issued, the same outfit ran the same “we are former federal prosecutors” who “served under both Republican and Democratic administrations” schtick to argue that Trump should have been charged with multiple felonies for obstruction of justice. As the following snippet shows, the signatories, for the most part, overlapped as well.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

So, what about those signatories? They spun themselves as apolitical, by stressing they worked for both Democratic and Republican administrations, but a quick visit to the Federal Elections Commission website to search for political contributions, aided by some amazing crowdsourcing, revealed extensive contributions to Democrats and liberal organizations by many of the signatories—so many, in fact, I called off the troops.

Your link to this false allegation comes from yet another questionable source with numerous failed fact checks:

The Federalist - Media Bias/Fact Check

• Overall, we rate The Federalist a borderline Questionable and far Right Biased based on story selection and editorial positions that always favor the right. We also rate them Mixed for factual reporting due to the promotion pseudoscience and three failed fact checks.

ROFL! Sorry, dingbat, but there are few sources more credible than the Federalist.

Reality favors the right.

In Trumplandia, anyone who agrees with Trump is a "credible source". The rest of the world has higher standards that the rags you link to cannot meet, passing basic fact checks being chief among them.

In the real world, a credible source is one that has seldom been proven to be wrong. When has the Federalist ever been proven to be wrong, eh dingbat?

A website calling itself "fact check" is fake news. They are the least credible sources on the internet. No surprise that you fall for them.

I called this a few day ago here. I don't know why anyone would believe this kind of crap at this point ... and I don't think any non partisan does. These "letters" and other such outrage-bait is nothing more than red meat to keep the partisan masses satiated.
