Graham: Giuliani Sends Biden Dirt To Barr | Talking Points Memo

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) claims that Attorney General Bill Barr told him Sunday morning that the Justice Department has set up a “process” for Rudy Giuliani to send dirt on Joe Biden directly to Barr.

Something has to be done about Barr. Now that impeachment is over, he has to be targeted nonstop by Democrats. Even if it doesn’t deter him or stop him, it will lay the ground work for future action, including prosecution. He cannot be allowed to hijack the justice system with impunity. We will have a secret police in this country before long if he’s just allowed to go on his merry way, with a bunch of unaccountable and lawless political operators serving as DOJ investigators. This process has already started with CBP:

I fully expect Barr to indict Joe and Hunter. As for #LeningradLindsay he should be indicted for treason.

So The Department of Justice is now the Legion of Doom?

All this work to get Biden… But what happens when he’s not the nominee? Wasted effort.

I’ve often wondered how Graham is able to speak to the media with such regularity while at the same time having his lips permanently attached to Trump’s butt.

Let’s not forget that Parnas said Leningrad Lindsey was in the loop in Ukrainegate = Leningrad Lindsey is a Co-Conspirator! This merits censure or expulsion!

A post of mine from another thread.

["If Barr was able to destroy the DOJ by himself, it was 90% rotten to begin with. I am not going to mention Barr unless I have some concrete suggestions on how to remove him.

And his removal should be the topic of every communication organ in this country. And if his removal is impossible, FAR MORE WOULD BE ACCOMPLISHED BY SIMPLY SAYING, YES, BARR CANNOT BE REMOVED, LET’S GO THROUGH THE REASONS AND POLICY PROTOCOLS WHY .

As it is, snarking about Barr is like snarking about a bum freethrow in an NBA game: irrelevant."]

In most wartime scenarios, the weapons of the other side are listed, described, analyzed and appraised of their strengths and weaknesses. Let’s put out Barr’s capabilities. Let’s place this in the context of the danger he poses to this Republic.

If he is Invulnerable until a Dem POTUS deposes him, let’s say so and why.

So the FBI and DOJ are not allowed to investigate any campaign without Barr’s express permission, but Barr has a special process for getting dirt on Joe Biden from a non-FBI or DOJ source, Rudy Giuliani.

Yeah, that seems like the way the Attorney General should act.

It is depressing but we can not give in to fear, that is what they want us to do. To be so overcome by hopelessness that we give up. Keep a steady eye on the prize.

Well he can’t personally indict anyone. That takes a grand jury and evidence.

But…you mean the Department of Justice never had any system set up to deal with criminal allegations before now?

My God, we’ve been so lucky that nothing of a criminal nature has occurred before this!

The hypocrisy of these people is truly breathtaking, what Joe Biden did was to root out corruption and was supported by the international community. Why this isn’t brought up and thrown in their faces is troubling.

Someday Graham will regret his treasonous behavior.

That day can’t come soon enough.

“Latent” Lindsey Graham is totally corrupted.

Wanna bet on that?

Get back to us after the handcuffs are slapped on Joe and Hunter.

I’m sure that various Russian stooges are delighted to know that they now have a way to feed their wildest fantasies directly to the A.G. of the U.S. They can skip any and all “wink-wink, nudge-nudge” activity, and get down to business.

I don’t think it matters. Once they’ve set their sights on you, it’s over. Hillary hasn’t been relevant for all intents and purposes for many years, but they’re still after her.

It’s sad people thinking about getting involved politically now have to consider prosecution as a risk.

Welcome to Trumpism.

Of course its not legal. Involving a foreign country or its officials in our elections is illegal. Amazing the stuff one learns hanging around TPM. I believe the law is called the Logan Act. Old but still on the books.
