9/17/2020 Barr, Wray, and Durham - Good Guys or Bad Guys?

 I've seen more than enough criticism of U.S. Attorney General William Barr, FBI Director Christopher Wray, and U.S. Attorney John Durham, especially very recently, Because I think it's entirely possible that there will be incredible, sensational developments in the coming days to two weeks, and because Barr and Wray have both made public remarks, I thought I'd commit to hazard my guesses as to what's going on with each here. None of them talks to me or seeks my advice, so much of what I think is admittedly speculative.

U.S. Attorney General William Barr

AG Barr is often lambasted by the left as "doing Trump's personal bidding", etc. Get the fuck out of here! I have listened to Barr very carefully, in both formal situations like giving testimony to the Senate and the House, although his most recent visit to the House, with Democratic members making derogatory statements and then "reclaiming their time" before he could respond was but pure tomfoolery and an epic embarrassment to themselves, the citizens they represent, and to the institution to which they were elected. And also, in informal settings like television interviews.

My read is he's an honest guy who knows right from wrong. He's had to go carefully into investigations into FISA abuse/crimes, the Russian Collusion investigation, and ultimately the Mueller Special Counsel investigation. Why has he had to go gently? Two reasons. First, the crimes are so incredible in magnitude that is they were all laid fully bared and all the conspirators and their roles fully reported and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, I suspect the institutions to which the criminals involved were attached might actually be destroyed under the weight of it all. I am referring to the FBI, DOJ, Departments of State, Treasury, Defense, and the entirety of the intelligence community. Even if some of them had real suspicions that there was illegal cooperation between Trump campaigners and the Russians, there came a point where they knew it wasn't. What did they do? They pressed ahead for political reasons and tried their hardest to entrap people.

Barr is going to balance what's best for the nation without completely destroying the aforementioned institutions. He's going to let U.S. Attorneys Durham, Bash, and Jensen do their work and prosecute crimes they find. They have found some. If you're a lefty and you're still deluding yourself that Trump Russia collusion was real, and that Brennan, Clapper, and Comey, et al, were the good guys, well, I got news for you. You're fucking wrong. Either you're blinded by your own bias, or you're too lazy to look for information beyond the liberal propaganda outlets. If you're playing Barr the bad guy and Brennan, Clapper, Comey and the rest of them as the white hats, you're going to hate the coming weeks and months.

Barr = Good guy.

FBI Director Christopher Wray

I'm a bit on the fence about Wray. My hunch is he's in the unenviable position of managing the FBI through this mess. We know about some of the criminality that took place in the Cater Page FISA Warrant fiasco. How deep and wide is that channel? Imagine hundreds, maybe thousands of shoddy or corrupt warrants. Imagine the real bad guys that could get off if that whole house of cards is knocked down upon itself.

Regardless, based on what I've heard and read from Wray, if I were Trump and if I win re-election, I'd fire his ass on Nov. 4th. Summarily and without hesitation. Even in his remarks today, I have no problem criticizing white supremacists, and in calling a spade a spade as it pertains to white supremacist scumbags. But his reluctance to give Black Lives Matter and Antifa terrorism the same treatment is completely unacceptable. He needs to be gone yesterday, but understanding how politics work, I expect it on Nov. 4th. Not a moment too soon.

Wray = Swamp Rat = Bad guy.

U.S. Attorney John Durham

U.S. Attorney John Durham is going to send some Obama officials to jail. The trials may last a while, but there will be indictments, soon. I have been EXTREMELY frustrated waiting in this guy. I mean bad. But he's methodical and he's determined. He's going to do it right and that will take however long it takes. Let's not forget, none of the subjects of his CRIMINAL investigation are very cooperative. At least, I'd assume at first they weren't. There are rumors of some 'flipping' and coming clean about the crimes of the coup d'état. We shall see. But the interviews have involved lawyers and lawyers are frequently inclined to employ delaying tactics as a part of protecting their clients. So it has been slow going. But it is coming. It is coming. Don't fucking kid yourself. It's coming.

And while I'm talking about the fruits of the Durham probe coming, and they're coming SOON people. SOON. Listen up: we're going to hear Democrats crying foul, that this probe is "election interference", bullshit like that. Don't listen to it. Two reasons: first off, "election interference" didn't stop Brennan, Clapper, and Comey and their coup d'état co-conspirators from going after then candidate Trump, but more importantly, second, unless Durham indicts Biden or Harris, then it's not election interference. The American people have a right to know what was done to candidate, President-Elect, and then to President Trump in the campaign, transition, and in his first term, respectively. That's not election interference unless you know your whole goddamned party was and is so fucking corrupt that it'll blow the election. And likely, they were and are. And you can't stop it. Don't like it? Sit the fuck down. Shut the fuck up. Buckle your fucking seat belt. Your heroes earned this shit.

Durham = Good guy.
