Dems not angry, they are terrified
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
Democratic leaders who claim to be angry over Attorney General Bill Barr are really worried about what names he will uncover behind the Russian collusion claims, says a former criminal prosecutor.
Citing a “constitutional crisis,” the Democrat-led House Judiciary Committee voted 24-16 last week to hold Barr in contempt after the Justice Dept. refused to release the full, unredacted Mueller report.
The report disappointed Democrats and their media allies when Special Counsel Robert Mueller did not recommend charges against President Trump, ending two years of left-wing wishes and media-driven predictions that Trump and his family members would be marched off to prison.
In fact, The Associated Press is reporting that Barr has appointed John Durham, the U.S. attorney in Connecticut, to determine if intelligence collection was "lawful and appropriate."

Some Trump-hating Democrats held out hope that the full Mueller report, not just Barr's summary, would lead to Trump's impeachment. But the report failed to do so, which left Democrats demanding the unredacted report after their hopes for an end to Trump's presidency seemed to fade.
But now the shoe could be on the other foot as George Horowitz, the Justice Department inspector general, is expected to soon release the results of his own investigation over claims of Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act abuses by the Obama-era U.S. Justice Dept. during the 2016 presidential campaign.
President Trump was mocked by Democrats and the media, in fact, for claiming he was the victim of spying. But evidence of that claim dripped one name and text message at a time over months and months, finally forming a picture of a backroom plan to ensure Hillary Clinton won the White House with evidence of “Russian collusion” as a back-up plan.
With the President's claims now vindicated, some Democrats have now backtracked to suggest the DOJ was spying on the Russians, not Trump.
While the IG report looms large, Attorney General Barr has publicly testified before a U.S. Senate Committee that he believes the Trump campaign was the victim of a spy campaign and said the DOJ is investigating the origins of that decision.
Abraham Hamilton III, a former assistant district attorney who is now general counsel and public policy analyst at the American Family Association , tells OneNewsNow that criminal investigations and indictments could be flowing the “opposite direction” after Democrats predicted such action against President Trump.
“So I think a lot of this furor on Capitol Hill is because a lot of people are afraid because their hands got caught in the cookie jar,” Hamilton observes. “And so there are a lot of people who are afraid on Capitol Hill and it's because William Barr is not his predecessor."
One name from the Obama administration to watch for in the coming months, says longtime political analyst Dr. Richard Land, is Joe Biden and possibly the former president himself, Barack Obama.
“And we're not going to be talking about Mike Pence and Donald Trump,” he predicts. “We're going to be talking about Joe Biden and Barack Obama."
It didn’t go unnoticed earlier this year when a Republican-led Senate report cited a text message between two now-fired FBI employees (pictured above ), Peter Strzok and Lisa Page. The text stated that Obama “wants to know everything we’re doing.”
Land, who is now president of the Southern Evangelical Seminary , points out that a report implicating Biden could have a huge impact on 2020, since Biden is currently leading other Democratic candidates by double digits.
“And, frankly, I don't see any other Democrat who's currently running beating Donald Trump,” he says, “as long as the economy continues to do well."
Hamilton tells OneNewsNow he is wants to see justice served if people in power acted corruptly.
“I'm not interested at all in playing a political gotcha game,” he says. “What I'm interested in is maintaining the integrity of the Republic.”

Be afraid democrat party, be very afraid. The time has come that the false accusers are now the accused. It’s time to lock them up!
When the first of these rogue agents is indicted, I want to hear either you or Sean say "Let not your heart be troubled"
Sounds like the Benghazi wet dream has returned. I can't even believe you really believe that 'Trump is a victim' crap. The delusions continue.
Lol, What does that word supposed to mean? You use it like it was the third rail in a subway station. If you want to discuss Benghazi, why don't you do an article on it. I'll be glad to join in. I think we learned a lot about what happened there, especially the part where American military forces that could have rescued the victims had to burn up precious time by changing from military uniform to civilian clothes, so as not to offend the locals!!! Please save it for your own article on your own dime!
I don't think we need to elaborate on what I mean. I'm sure we all know what it means, but if you need a hint, you're welcome. No seed needed, it just means republicans go to the bubble, make up some shit, release the shit to the airwaves, repeat, repeat, repeat. Investigate, find nothing but pretend they do, keep investigating to keep the narrative going and when it comes up with nothing, just go on pretending the opposite. Boom.
Mission: Protect Trump
By any and all means, including turning investigations back on investigators. Look for anything to get people to ignore the multiple pleas, indictments and jail time for investigations involving Trump and his goons. Get help from Putin spinning the narrative.
I heard today that the Connecticut US attorney has already convened a grand jury on the matter he’s investigating.
Ya, believe it or not he's right on the case!
The Mueller Report is in for all to see. Remember when you said, you'd wait for the report?
But it didn’t have the results they hoped for so now they have to engage in a fishing expedition to try to find mud to fling because Trump has to be guilty of something. They have to be able to overturn the 2016 election somehow. And now they need cover for their own being investigated for the real crimes that really were committed.
Oh they are screaming at the sky again. Mueller failed to deliver, though he tried, he at least drew out the investigation so the report, at the very least, reached a democrat controlled House (everyone knew it was their turn to win the House). To add to their angst, the AG is going to look at how this entire nightmare began. All of the improper actions of the FBI and CIA will be looked at by a US Attorney with prosecution power.
Stay tuned for the fall of the Praetorian Guard
Not a democrat, but I was worried about the precedent being set. But fuck it, Americans will get exactly what they deserve.
Well, it appears likely that a bunch of Democrats in the previous administration and their co-conspirators in several agencies are going to get what they deserve, to the detriment of their party.
Republicans thought that about Benghazi and that didn't turn out. Except in the sense that it muddied the waters for Hillary and allowed a false narrative to continue, but no crimes and no scandal.
Oh, wait. That must be why Trump ordered this and Barr followed orders. (Hope he gets a John Mitchell moment soon)
Except this time dems hold the house and they can't stop the information.
Republicans thought that about Benghazi and that didn't turn ou
Republicans thought an Ambassador was left almost unguarded in a warzone with ongoing attacks against Western Governments and that the Obama administration lied to the American people about the attack being merely a demonstration that got out of control, knowing the whole time it was yet another assault by terrorists.
And the investigation proved them right
no scandal.
I don' think you know the definition of that word.
And we remember how the Obama regime dealt with a similar GOP majority 2011-2015 and will act accordingly.
