For Fear of William Barr: Attorney general gets attacked because his probe endangers powerful people​

For Fear of William Barr - WSJ
May 2, 2019 ~ By Kimberley A. Strassel
The only thing uglier than an angry Washington is a fearful Washington. And fear is what’s driving this week’s blitzkrieg of Attorney General William Barr.
Mr. Barr tolerantly sat through hours of Democratic insults at a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing Wednesday. His reward for his patience was to be labeled, in the space of a news cycle, a lawbreaking, dishonest, obstructing hack. Speaker Nancy Pelosi publicly accused Mr. Barr of lying to Congress, which, she added, is “considered a crime.” House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler said he will move to hold Mr. Barr in contempt unless the attorney general acquiesces to the unprecedented demand that he submit to cross-examination by committee staff attorneys. James Comey, former director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, lamented that Donald Trump had “eaten” Mr. Barr’s “soul.” Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren demands the attorney general resign. California Rep. Eric Swalwell wants him impeached.
These attacks aren’t about special counsel Robert Mueller, his report or even the surreal debate over Mr. Barr’s first letter describing the report. The attorney general delivered the transparency Democrats demanded: He quickly released a lightly redacted report, which portrayed the president in a negative light. What do Democrats have to object to?
Some of this is frustration. Democrats foolishly invested two years of political capital in the idea that Mr. Mueller would prove President Trump had colluded with Russia, and Mr. Mueller left them empty-handed. Some of it is personal. Democrats resent that Mr. Barr won’t cower or apologize for doing his job. Some is bitterness that Mr. Barr is performing like a real attorney general, making the call against obstruction-of-justice charges rather than sitting back and letting Democrats have their fun with Mr. Mueller’s obstruction innuendo. But most of it is likely fear.

Indeed, its a full on biased media blitz and Progressive Marxist Socialist/DSA Democrat smear machine because they know he could REALLY!! upset the apple cart. The REAL collusion, the REAL obstruction and the Real sedition is going to be investigated. For those of us who remember how Ken Starr was vilified, you ain’t seen nothin’ yet!
It's obviously that the biased media is in full defensive mode in anticipation of the onslaught against the real conspiracy, sedition and treason of the DNC and the Deep State. They’re all absolutely terrified of the truth coming out. This conflict will determine if the PMS/DSA Communists can prevail.

They're in full-on panic mode. Expect an unprecedented smear campaign against Barr over the next several weeks (and beyond).

Some people should be sweating.

Barr's report will be a dandy and I hope like hell we all get to read it.

Trump can declassify the FISA warrants used by the coupists. If that happens civil suits will hit first and then criminal charges. That will suck the money out of the big D donors because the coupists have to roll over on somebody to stay out of jail. This should be fun to watch.
