any surprise Barr and Wray aren't doing anything- here's why;

Those of you who "Trust" the plan should do some homework first. Here is your daily dose of who's who in Trump's Swamp.

Trust Wray? Christopher Wray's time as a connected swamp creature started back in 1997 as and Assistant U.S. Attorney who slipped into the DOJ during Little Bushs' administration. While there he worked directly under.....James Comey, who worked directly under then Director Robert Mueller. After resigning in 2005 he skipped back to private practice with King and Spalding (where he inflated his net worth to somewhere between $23 and $42 Million) and during his time in private practice represented the likes of Chris Christie. King and Spalding have made an obscene amount of money representing Monsanto, Goldman Sachs, ConocoPhillips and Chevron, among many others. Some of his buddies from King and Spaulding now hold positions as well, like Dan Coats (Director of National Intelligence) and after getting fired as AG, Sally Yates went back into private practice with....King and Spalding. Trust Barr? Employed by the CIA in the 70's while still in college, he went on to be a policy staffer for Reagan and was then tapped by Bush Sr as Assistant Attorney General for the Office of Legal Counsel. During that time he wrote legal justifications in favor of running Rendition Programs (allowing US operatives to go onto foreign soil without the knowledge or support of that countries' government to ''take into custody'' ''fugitives or other wanted persons'') which since then have grown more in number as time has gone along. In meteoric fashion, in less than a year he was appointed as Deputy AG and a year after that was nominated for Attorney General. During his time as AG he wrote the report "The Case for More Incarceration", where he argued for an INCREASE in incarceration rates as well as the number of prisons in the country, stricter sentencing guidlines and wanted to eliminate paroled release across the board. 1992 was a busy year for Barr, during this time he also launched a surveillance program to gather en masse the records of innocent Americans' international phone calls. That program was used as the blueprint for the larger surveillance program launched after 9/11. Upon Barr's leaving the DOJ in 1993 and going into private practice, he also became the the co-chair on a commission for abolishing parole and running their campaign in Virginia. In 1994 he became the Executive Vice President and General Counsel for telecom giant GTE Corp. and sucessfully litigated suits that had the effect of acheiving De-Regulation in telecom and killed off several FCC Rules governing telecoms. In 2009 through 2017 he worked for the law firm Kirkland and Ellis. That firm has also made a name for itelf representing companies like BP (where they won ruling in favor of BP that they had no duty to report the Deepwater Horizon spill), VW in the Emissions scandal, Teva Pharmaceuticals, Bain Capital (say hello to Mitt Rmney for us), and oh yeah, Jeffery Epstein in his sex-trafficking case. Just like Chris Wray with King and Spalding, Barr has quite the connections from his time at Kirkland and Ellis and many of his cohorts from that firm have held positions in many different president's administrations. Trumps' administration has Alexander Acosta (Secretary of Labor), John Bolton (National Security Advisor), Jeff Rosen (Deputy Secretary of Transportation), Nathan Sales (Coordinator for Counter-terrorism) and, as much as I am loathe to admit it, Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh. These are just some of the people from Kirkland and Ellis that are currently serving in the Trump Administration, not to mention the countless others who were in the administrations of George W and Barry Obummer. And the lineage of swamp creatures continues with Barr's daughters. His eldest daughter Mary was with the DOJ on their opioid crisis task force (resigned when Daddy became AG, but not to worry, her husband is still with the DOJ's National Security Division). Second daughter Patricia is the counsel for the Agriculture Committee. Youngest daughter Meg was a prosecutor in DC and her husband is now entrenched in the White House Counsel's office. And let's not forget that Barr and Mueller have been close friends since the 80's, Mueller was at 2 of the 3 Barr daughters' weddings, and their wives still go to Bible study every Sunday together. And we wonder why Mueller has been able to get away with his nearly 2 year circle jerk at the tax payers' expense. When Q or anyone else says to trust these people, do your own research. If these people have had a career last any length of time in DC, then you can bet money that they are going to be part of the same incestuous swamp. Trumps' mistake was thinking these guys "long time experience" in DC was a good thing or that these guys could be trusted.>
