Why A Judge’s Rebuke Of Barr’s Mueller Report Shenanigans Was So Remarkable
Why A Judge's Rebuke Of Barr's Mueller Report Shenanigans Was So Remarkable

"A federal judge’s assertions Thursday that Attorney General Bill Barr made “misleading” statements about special counsel Robert Mueller’s report sent shockwaves through the legal community.

The judge’s allegations that Barr “distorted” Mueller’s findings in a perhaps “calculated attempt to influence public discourse about the Mueller Report in favor of President Trump” was a remarkable scolding of a sitting attorney general, and one that comes as other actions Barr has taken related to Mueller’s probe have come under increased scrutiny.

Seasoned legal experts said they had never seen anything like the opinion that U.S. District Judge Reggie Walton of Washington, D.C., issued in a Freedom of Information Act case. In his stinging ruling, the judge ordered the Justice Department to produce for his own review an unredacted version of Mueller’s report because Walton couldn’t trust the government’s stated reasons for withholding redactions of the report.

What stood out to former federal prosecutors is that Walton called out Attorney General Bill Barr by name. The judge said that the way Barr rolled out the Mueller report called into question Barr’s “credibility” and thus the claims that the Justice Department now was making about the report’s redactions.

“I have never seen an attorney general called out this way before by a judge for making misrepresentations,” Harry Sandick, a former federal prosecutor, told TPM in an email."

Barr points out that, remarkably, this judge is a liar.

This is not a persuasive argument, by the poster or by the AG.


Justice Department Hits Back After Judge Slams Attorney General Barr, Orders DOJ to Turn Over Unredacted Weissmann Mueller Report

The DOJ hit back and said “the court’s assertions were contrary to the facts.”

“The original redactions in the public report were made by Department attorneys, in consultation with senior members of Special Counsel Mueller’s team, prosecutors in US Attorney’s Offices, and members of the Intelligence Community,” the DOJ said.

“In response to FOIA requests, the entire report was then reviewed by career attorneys, including different career attorneys with expertise in FOIA cases — a process in which the Attorney General played no role.”

This is not a persuasive argument, by the poster or by the AG.

Whether you are "persuaded" isn't particularly interesting. This loud mouthed grandstanding judge is a liar. Barr played no role in the original redactions in the public report.

What evidence do you have that Barr didn't influence or even direct phrases and even paragraphs to be redacted?

It's the lying judge's claim asserted without evidence. In our system we are presumed innocent until presented with convincing evidence otherwise.

Perhaps if Hillary was subject to the law like everyone else in our country, people wouldn't chant lock her up. I'm sorry if you do not like having an AG that is not controlled by the media, but crying about his authority is pointless. Holder was obviously Obama's puppet, but the dems won the election. That is the way it works, especially now that everything from the justice department to the IRS is completely political. Someone else pointed out that most politicians on both sides are owned by somebody and lining their own pockets. I truly wish that were not so. The 4th estate is gone, owned by about six people right? There is nothing left to keep them honest. Democrat Politicians don''t even pretend to worry about breaking the law anymore. They brag about it. You guys want to give them more power, and hope it works out this time?

oh no ...lets give all those lol lol honest republicans more power,,,,a den of hypocrites

I said both sides are owned and line their pockets, the difference is that democrats are bumping it up and wanting to control healthcare and the energy sector. If incompetence bothers you, don't give the government your money.

That is why Trump is so great. Not a Dem or a real Repub either.

His only agenda is solving problems. He doesn't give a fig about the tug of war between the swampies.

Clearly trump is not a Democrat nor is he a Republican. He's is narcissist. D's support we the people, R's support special Interests and corporations, and N's support only themselves.

Last I checked, dem politicians are all wealthy, ok with illegal labor, fine with shipping jobs overseas, and wanting to tax the crap out of anybody that can rub a nickel together. You guys don't even get to pick your own candidate. I'm not disagreeing that republicans were fine with most of that sh8t, but please don't pretend the dem politicians give a hoot about we the people. Ever wonder why immigration never gets fixed, why education never gets fixed, why neither party cared when all our jobs went overseas? Neither party gave a damn, and they and their families all got rich.

As He Orders Private Review Of Its Redactions
Judge Bashes Barr's Rollout Of Mueller Report As He Orders Private Review Of Its Redactions

A federal judge said Thursday that Attorney General Bill Barr’s “lack of candor” about special counsel Robert Mueller’s findings — in representations of Mueller’s report that “distorted” its conclusions — had prompted the judge to decide to review an unredacted version of the report behind closed doors.

The decision by U.S. District Judge Reggie B. Walton came in a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit brought by a Buzzfeed reporter and the Electronic Privacy Information Center, a civil liberties group. They’re seeking an unredacted version of Mueller’s report, and have pointed to Barr’s misleading statements about the report before it was released to raised doubts about what the Department had decided to redact.

Judge Walton said on Thursday that he agreed with the challengers’ assessment that the Department “dubious[ly] handl[ed] … the public release of the Mueller Report” and the judge said he had “grave concerns about the objectivity” of that process.
.................................................................................................................
Everyone (but Trumpette's) knows Billy the Bagman "distorted" Mueller's findings.

As a taxpayer who owns that report I demand it be put out for all to see. Un-redacted and in full.

Clinton Foundation Got Rich off Poor Haitians

They had suffered a heavy blow from Mother Nature, and then the Clintons moved in like vultures. In 2010 a massive 7.0 earthquake devastated the island, killing more than 200,000 people, leveling 100,000 homes, and leaving 1.5 million people destitute.

The devastating effect of the earthquake on a very poor nation provoked worldwide concern and inspired an outpouring of aid money intended to rebuild Haiti. Countries around the world, as well as private and philanthropic groups such as the Red Cross and the Salvation Army, provided $10.5 billion in aid, with $3.9 billion of it coming from the United States.

Very little of this aid money actually got to poor people in Haiti. The Clintons championed the building of industrial parks and posh hotels that cost a great deal of money and offered scarce benefits to the truly needy. Port-au-Prince was supposed to be rebuilt; it was never rebuilt. Projects aimed at creating jobs didn't. Haitian unemployment remained high, largely undented by the funds that were supposed to pour into the country. Famine and illness continued to devastate the island nation.

Bill Clinton was the designated UN representative for aid to Haiti. Bill Clinton, with great media fanfare established the Haiti Reconstruction Fund. His wife Hillary was the United States secretary of state. She was in charge of U.S. aid allocated to Haiti. Together the Clintons were the two most powerful people who controlled the flow of funds to Haiti from around the world.

An interesting pattern formed involving the Clintons and the designation of how aid funds were used. A number of companies that received contracts in Haiti happened to be entities that made large donations to the Clinton Foundation. The Haitian contracts appeared less tailored to the needs of Haiti than to the needs of the companies that were performing the services. Haitian deals filled the coffers of the Clintons.

OK, here is a link to the (17) FBI errors that IG Horowitz uncovered, that Barr & Durham will turn into indictments. You don't need to prove any of my list "untrue". Like I said, Barr and Durham either issue indictments by summer or they don't. Mueller missed, Barr won't.

Given Barr's documented track record of distorting the truth in order to protect Trump............
Judge slams Barr, orders review of Mueller report deletions
................why would anyone believe his penchant for doing Don's bidding will stop him from once again going against the findings of his own agency as with his deceitful summary of Mueller's work?

The IG found bias did not play a role in the decision the FBI made to conduct an investigation in to Trump's campaign nor did it compromise its execution. That conclusion is unacceptable to Individual 1 because it directly contradicts his lies, and therefore is unacceptable to Billy the Bagman.

WASHINGTON — F.B.I. officials had sufficient reason to open the investigation into links between Russia and Trump campaign aides in 2016 and acted without political bias, a long-awaited report said on Monday, but it concluded that the inquiry was a rushed and dysfunctional process marked by serious errors in documents related to a wiretap.

Mr. Horowitz stressed that the standard for opening an F.B.I. investigation was low — echoing the sort of criticism that civil libertarians have made for years. He also exonerated former F.B.I. leaders, broadly rejecting Mr. Trump’s accusations that they engaged in a politicized conspiracy to sabotage him.

“We did not find documentary or testimonial evidence that political bias or improper motivation influenced” officials’ decision to open the investigation, the report said.

Using a decision by Barr as to whether indictments are sought as a measure of actual illegality is just as disingenuous as believing the "no collusion, no obstruction" canard. As a reminder, we've been down this road before with McCabe. The rubes couldn't wait for that trial to begin and then..........ooooooops..........no evidence of wrongdoing.

Barr has already pointed out that this judge is a slanderer and a liar who put forward these scurrilous claims wholly without evidence.

... The IG found bias did not play a role in the decision the FBI made to conduct an investigation in to Trump's campaign nor did it compromise its execution.

That would be other than using the debunked Dossier, withholding evidence and the submission of a forged document to support the illegal spying on a Political campaign and the illegal attempt to drive a duly elected President from office?

... WASHINGTON — F.B.I. officials had sufficient reason to open the investigation...

Well, the Titanic had an excellent reason to start it's voyage too, but it still bit the big one when it got into the icebergs. You claimed the FBI did not "compromise it's execution" when every illegal FISA warranted was next of felonies.

...the inquiry was a rushed and dysfunctional process marked by serious errors in documents related to a wiretap....

Yet "flawless" in it's execution? That word, I do not think it means what you think it means!

The FBI's follow-on responses to the IG report's recommendations were so transparently deficient -- providing no meaningful reform, walking the path of least resistance, and largely serving to preserve the status quo -- as to be a slap in the face of the American people. Both FBI director Christopher Wray and former FISC Presiding Judge Rosemary Collier have proven to be useless, if not complicit, in this lame response.

As for McCabe, he didn't get charged because he would have been tried before a DC jury that is no more unbiased than you are. This is yet another reason why the Deep State has to be broken up and moved out of DC, this Court is a rubber stamp for the Deep State.

New FISC Presiding Judge James Boasberg rebuked the FBI's intransigence. Boasberg orders changes and improvements to the FBI's procedures that are meant to harden the FBI's diligence and ensure integrity throughout the FISA application process. But it's far from clear that the addition of more language, procedural steps, and checklists to the FISA application process will actually do anything to change behaviors.

Judge Boasberg's demands seem more and more like papering over a fatal, fundamental problem: It is now obvious that the FISC is hopelessly flawed as a nonadversarial court. It is not a forum for debate or truth. There is no opposing side. Why would the FBI or other any applicant seeking a FISA warrant want to undertake an honest, rigorous undermining of its own case? At bottom, there exists no meaningful incentive to do so; instead, the counter-incentives are permanent, inherent in the structure of the court.

The FISA court is not a Protector of Our Liberty but an enabler of creeping totalitarianism. The Patriot Act, with key provisions set to expire shortly, is another. Why so many in government fail to recognize the danger they represent is disturbing. It is time to abolish the FISA court.

1. The DOJ already disproved the judges assertions.
DOJ responds after judge slams AG Barr over Mueller report

2. IG Horowitz couldn't say there was FBI bias after reading the Strzok/Page texts either?! Common sense says otherwise.

3. Agreed that Crossfire Hurricane was opened legitimately, that bar is very low. Then it went off the rails, Barr and Durham indictments should be coming.

4. IG Horowitz did not have the broad investigative powers Barr and Durham have, including subpoenas and a grand jury. We both know how that works, squeal now for a reduced sentence later....

5. Just because the DC grand juries are cut from the Kim Foxx cloth for McCabe, that doesn't mean that Barr and Durham can't get indictments on anyone.

So we're back where we started. Mueller got nothing on Trump. Barr and Durham either get indictments by summer or they don't. After that it's campaign season for November. You should worry more about Biden than Trump. Biden was not competent at 60, he's a basket case at 80.
