Kash Patel wants to know about the role of Wray and Barr in the FBI and DOJ liaison with Twitter — 26 Comments

  1. “If two or more persons conspire to injure, oppress, threaten, or intimidate any person . . . in the free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege secured to him by the Constitution or laws of the United States, or because of his having so exercised the same, . . . they shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both.”

    This is what made it IMPERATIVE for the forces of evil to frame the Jan. 6 protesters by instigating violence…

    (…Shift the frame…shift the blame…)

    …And then insist, in spite of all evidence to the contrary—with the help of the actively colluding media and infotech—e.g., TWITTER—that Trump provoked and incited it ALL…

    Pretty nifty as far as grand entrapment strategies go…

    Textbook, in fact!

  2. neo,

    Regarding the WSJ’s paywall, if you are a member of your city and/or county’s library you likely already pay for access to the WSJ and many other periodicals. You’ll likely find your local librarian(s) very helpful in instructing you on how to get access. And, unless your library is extremely archaic, they almost certainly have an on-line system where you can view the periodicals from the comfort of chez neo.

  3. I don’t have much faith that any justice will come to the various bad actors in the FBI and DOJ in this particular affair. The Deep State is both deep and wide. It protects its own and strongly resists any change. Plus as we’ve seen, the Deep State gets plenty of aid and cover from the Media and the Social Media Tech Overlords. Sure, Elon Musk has wrested control of one of the significant appendages of the great Deep State/Media/Socia Media Cephalopod. But that’s nowhere near enough to effect real change.

  4. Wrt “subpoenas need to go out because nothing is ever deleted at the FBI”

    I would venture that nothing is *recorded* at the FBI, as we’ve seen with various Form FD-302 abuses, “I cannot recall” depositions of key officials, and so on.

  5. For anyone to get justice done on this, they must first be willing to speak clearly and forcefully about just how heinous this all is. The language will be labelled extreme. But the behavior is extreme. Speak truth to power.

    The mushy middle types have to be told the truth. Polite means losing. If Trump taught us anything, it is that victory against the deep state crooks requires a direct, forceful attack and a willingness to take incoming fire. Cowards need not apply.

  6. Disagree. My suspicion about Barr and Wray is that they know how to play Sgt.Schultz when they think it is in their interest.

  7. I’d like to second Rufus T. Firefly’s suggestion that people sign up for their public library’s access to electronic magazines and journals. These library databases have search engines that are often superior to Google’s. They also cover material that Google can’t.

    For those seeking more immediate gratification, here’s a link to the full text of The Wall Street Journal piece cited by Neo: https://archive.vn/jbiKU

    And here’s a short list of sites that can be used to get around paywalls. Sometimes works, sometimes not. The last two are also useful for finding things that have succumbed to link rot.

  8. My guess is that this government strong arming of tech companies in private and cloaked in secrecy began with the advent of strong encryption and congress’ inaction on the issue.

    I used to try to follow the major stories in the tech world in the 80’s and into the 90’s. Strong encryption was/is a major problem in combatting organized crime and terrorism. This was a big issue in the congress and the media for a while, and finally the impression was, “Well, it’s constitutionally protected so we have to let it go.”

    What actually happen was that the Executive and DOJ proceeded to demand whatever they wanted in terms of communication data from tech companies in private and then force them to sign non-disclosure agreements about what was happening.

    Once that government modus operandi becomes commonplace, why stop with the strong encryption problem? Got a problem that some tech company can fix? No problem, just strong arm them.

    It probably never even occurred to jerks like Barr that something was amiss when engaging in this type of activity.

  9. For a long time Barr appeared to be a staunch and straight-shooting, real conservative. And he was well-spoken; an excellent advocate. And he had some gen-u-wine conservative accomplishments to point to as well. But in the end, he ran home to mama swamp and, as it turns out, he was a mama’s boy all along.
    Do not trust any lifetime politician.

  10. AMartel,

    Barr was involved in DOJ back in the Ruby Ridge days, giving comfort to agents who killed American civilians.

  11. And sent mueller to shut down the investigation into bcci and mismanaged the lockerbie investigation (in light of recent events)

  12. This is on Barr’s resume:

    At GTE Corporation and Verizon Communications, I personally handled two pro bono matters. First, between 1997 and 2001, I spent approximately 80 hours organizing amici (including former Attorneys General) to support an FBI sniper in defending against criminal charges in connection with the Ruby Ridge incident in Idaho. I enlisted a law firm to work pro bono on the case and assisted in framing legal arguments advanced by the amici in the district court and the subsequent appeal to the Ninth Circuit.

    He was AG when Ruby Ridge happened. So he was the sniper’s boss.

  13. I see that the Dems plan on using the Subpoena power in the Senate. One would wish that the Rep would do the same in the House. Bury the Dems and their supporters with them. But we know it won’t happen don’t we.

  14. He was AG when Ruby Ridge happened. So he was the sniper’s boss.

    Just to remind everyone, at Ruby Ridge, they sent a small army to arrest a rude eccentric for missing a court date. The court date was a hearing to be held on a charge of having sold someone a sawed-off shotgun. The man Mr. Weaver sold it to was an agent provacateur who approached him. During the course of their siege they killed Mrs. Weaver, their 11 year old son, and an unborn child Mrs. Weaver was carrying.

  15. patel was on nunez’s staff, when they tried to force him from the chairmanship, of the intel committee when he challenged the russia gate narrative, which was one of the pretexts for the dem takeover of congress,

  16. because his father was in the oss, that’s a bit of a reach, but his actions suggests a certain loyalty to deep state interests,

  17. @ Rufus T. – Much many thanking you for the library tip. I had completely forgotten that public libraries now have access to all that stuff online.

    It’ll take a few mouse clicks, but now when Insty links to a WSJ piece I’ll be able to read more than the first 5 lines.

  18. Gallchobhair: Barr’s father was a Jew who converted to Catholicism and became “more Catholic than the Catholics”:

    Perhaps that’s what Avi meant. My guess, at any rate. Avi can correct me if I got it wrong.

    (FWIW: I would not personally describe religious converts of any stripe as “traitors”. Bit harsh, in my view. And I’m a Jew. Again, apologies in advance if I misconstrued Avi’s meaning.)

  19. The court date was a hearing to be held on a charge of having sold someone a sawed-off shotgun. The man Mr. Weaver sold it to was an agent provacateur who approached him.

    They were trying to compromise him so they could use him to infiltrate some racist group. IIRC it was two shotguns, and he first refused to cut them, and relented when the deal was to cut them to legal length. But ATF claimed they were cut slightly shorter.
