Popular Post Scott Posted March 3, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 3, 2023 House Judiciary Democrats claimed Friday that three witnesses who have spoken to Republicans as part of the GOP investigation into politicization at the FBI have offered no evidence of wrongdoing by the law enforcement agency. They also said the witnesses were connected to committee Republicans through people with deep ties to former President Trump. Republicans have asserted that they’ve spoken to “dozens and dozens” of whistleblowers as part of their probe, but the committee Democrats said the trio of witnesses it had identified had little firsthand knowledge about the FBI and were instead advancing conspiracy theories. https://thehill.com/homenews/house/3882670-judiciary-democrats-go-after-gop-whistleblowers-in-fbi-probes/ 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post placeholder Posted March 3, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 3, 2023 (edited) Of course, the lack of serious witnesses shouldn't be surprising at all. After all, William Barr lent John Durham an extraordinary level of support in his quest to unearth a deep state conspiracy in the Justice Dept against Donald Trump. His quest continued unimpeded under the Biden administration. His search for evidence to support that conspiracy theory ended in utter failure. Do Republican members of this committee truly believe that they can unearth facts not found by a professional prosecutor who had been given the funds and time to investigate this issue? As for Hunter Biden, the United States Attorney for Delaware, David Weiss, who was appointed by Trump and is in charge of the investigation of Hunter Biden, was one of the few prosecutors retained by the Biden administration. What sort of cover-up can he rationally be accused of in this case? To deflect from their failure on these fronts, the Republicans have already made noises about demanding that the Justice Dept. share what evidence they have amassed in their investigation of Donald Trump. And, if it happens, the Justice Dept would certainly refuse. It would be strange if the courts were to side with the Republicans in this case since it would clearly encroach on the executive branches ability to conduct criminal investigations. But despite their probably failure in the courts, it would certainly generate lots of charges of a cover-up.

The Durham investigation was a criminal investigation. It was founded to look for a criminal conspiracy in the Justice Dept. against Donald Trump in the Russia investigation.. Both William Barr and John Durham explicitly stated that they weren't satisfied with Inspector General Horowitz conclusion that while there was certainly evidence of foul-ups in the Justice Dept. investigation of the Russia investigation, no criminal intent or activity was found to be at play. Barr authorized Durham to re-investigate. Durham utterly failed to come up with any evidence of criminal activity or intent at the Justice Dept. even though the pair of them even went to such extreme lengths as traveling to Europe to personally pressure foreign intelligence services into revealing criminal evidence they Durham and Barr contended they were concealing in the case. A criminal prosecutor is supposed to find evidence of crimes and prosecute according. . Was any member of the Hillary Clinton campaign convicted or even indicted by Durham's team in respect to conspiring with the Justice Dept. The only indictments of any sort that were brought against the Clinton team failed utterly. In fact, the cases were judged to be so weak, that members of Durham's team quit rather than continue. As for the Russia-Trump connection being invalid, this is not the case. Both a Republican's Senate Committee disagreed and the Mueller investigation never concluded this was the case. William Barr was actually castigated by a Federal judge for misrepresenting the findings of the Mueller investigation.

It has been mentioned to you several times, so you may well do it intentionally. According to the testimony, Hillary Clinton approved leaking the Alfa Bank information to the media. The media is not the FBI. However, the trial has shown that the FBI rejected this information as not reliable and did not use it. (On top of it, the investigation started before the meeting with Sussman).

"Republican-leaning pollster Rasmussen invoked a quote attributed to Soviet leader Joseph Stalin in a Twitter thread Sunday suggesting Vice President Pence could attempt to overturn the results of the presidential election... At that moment, the Presidency will be in his hands. And there is nothing stopping Pence, under the (plenary and unappealable) authority vested in him as President of the Senate, from declining to open and count the certificates from the six disputed states." https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/531830-rasmussen-quotes-stalin-in-discussing-us-election/ Here's a link to a discussion of how Rasmussen devises questions designed to get the answers they want: https://ropercenter.cornell.edu/sites/default/files/2018-07/116034.pdf What whistleblowers?

ozimoron Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 Whistleblowers almost always are connected with an organisation they are exposing and always have first hand information. Otherwise their information is not credible and is of little use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
