Barr and Durham are not going to help President Trump “Drain the Swamp”. They are Agents of the Deep State and Traitors.
Jefferson Morley a writing fellow and the editor and chief correspondent of the Deep State, a project of the Independent Media Institute, wrote the following about AG Barr:
“Barr’s handling of the Iran-Contra pardons of 1992 is revealing.
President Bush had been defeated for reelection; Barr urged Bush to use his pardon power freely before leaving office. Like Trump today, Bush was under investigation by a special prosecutor, Judge Lawrence Walsh, for his role in the Iran-Contra conspiracy.
Also under investigation were former defense secretary Caspar Weinberger and two top CIA officials, Clair George and Dewey Clarridge. They had all plotted to evade a congressional ban on aid to the counterrevolutionaries in Central America by illegally selling weapons to Iran.
The CIA was in real danger. The trials of George and Clarridge promised to be a public relations nightmare or worse. Sen. Pat Moynihan, chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, had introduced a bill to abolish the clandestine service. The Cold War was coming to an end, and the agency’s future was in doubt.
In his oral history, Barr says he urged Bush to pardon the CIA men on the grounds that they were victims of the “criminalization” of foreign policy. When it came to pardon power, Barr said he “favored the broadest” use.
“There were some people arguing just for Weinberger, and I said, ‘No, in for a penny, in for a pound.’”
Bush took his advice. Barr had no respect for the special prosecutor’s work and no regrets about consigning it to history. Walsh accused Bush of hiding criminal misconduct, but the former president and aides escaped justice.
In this cover-up, Barr sacrificed the interests of transparency and accountability to the political needs of Langley and the Bush White House”.
Barr and Durham have been “bought” and they are going to stay “bought”.
