I don’t always agree with former AG Bill Barr, but when I do, it’s about locking up Hillary Clinton. This time he is right on the money. What Hillary did with the fake Alpha Bank hoax and the fraudulent Steele dossier did real damage to this country. Besides the $50 million dollars spent on the FBI and Mueller chasing their tails, she cost the FBI and other federal resources to be wasted when there are real crimes that needed their attention.
Hillary was neck-deep in the email scandal and she needed a distraction, she followed the Democratic playbook and used the old Wag the Dog gambit by spreading outright lies against a sitting president of the United States. It is the same strategy that Biden is using to cover up, well, everything he’s done.
Bill Barr said:
“I thought we were heading into a constitutional crisis. I think whatever you think of Trump, the fact is that the whole Russiagate thing was a grave injustice. It appears to be a dirty political trick that was used first to hobble him and then potentially to drive him from office. I believe it is seditious.”
“It was a gross injustice, and it hurt the United States in many ways, including what we’re seeing in Ukraine these days. It distorted our foreign policy, and so forth.”
An FBI investigation into Trump’s campaign over alleged ties to the Russian government during the 2016 election was hatched by the Hillary campaign and the DNC that funded the Stele dossier and last week Clinton campaign manager, Robby Mook testified under oath that Hillary personally approved the plan to release the fake Alpha Bank hoax to the media.
Leaks from the investigation were used by the 2016 Hillary Clinton campaign to accuse Trump of colluding with the Russians to interfere in the election, spawning conspiracy theories that his victory was illegitimate. After Trump fired FBI Director James Comey in May 2017, congressional Democrats accused him of attempting to obstruct the Russia probe, demanding the appointment of a special prosecutor to investigate Trump’s actions.
After a two-year, $32 million investigation, Robert Mueller released a report in March 2019 that showed evidence of Russian interference in the election, but said the “investigation did not establish that members of the Trump Campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference activities.” By this time, questions were raised about the origins of Crossfire Hurricane and whether the FBI had inappropriately sought a FISA court warrant to surveil members of Trump’s 2016 campaign using opposition research from the Clinton campaign.

GOVERNMENT CORRUPTION
Former FBI Chief Legal Counsel Baker Tosses James Comey Under The Bus In Last-Ditch Effort To Save Himself

James Baker, Former-FBI General Counsel has joined Russian hoax media collaborator Michael Isikoff on his podcast, yesterday.
Isikoff, it should be noted, allowed himself to be used like a puppet to bolster the FISA applications by repeating the contents of the Steele Dossier in his Yahoo News column as though it was original source material.
Here we have two co-conspirators alibiing for their actions:
Baker, who served as chief counsel to former-FBI Director James Comey during the period leading up to the initial three FISA warrants, threw his former boss under the bus during the podcast.
Isikoff recounted the interview in yesterday’s Yahoo News column:
Senior FBI officials were concerned then director James Comey would appear to be blackmailing then President-elect Trump – using tactics notoriously associated with J.Edgar Hoover – when he attended a fateful Jan. 6, 2017, meeting at which he informed the real estate magnate about allegations he had consorted with prostitutes in Moscow, according to Jim Baker, the bureau’s chief counsel at the time.
“We were quite worried about the Hoover analogies, and we were determined not to have such a disaster happen on our watch,” said Jim Baker, then the FBI’s top lawyer in an interview with the Yahoo News podcast Skullduggery. But he and Comey determined the bureau had an obligation to tell Trump of the uncorroborated allegations because “the press has it; it’s about to come out. You should be alerted to that fact.”
Of course, counselor. Comey has become an easy target since he is at the nexus of the intelligence community’s conspiracy but there’s just too much evidence to trust Baker when he said.
“I welcome scrutiny. I plan to fully cooperate with the department to help them figure out what happened. Because I believe what happened was lawful, at least based on every piece of information that I have.”
Uh huh.
In the Congressional testimony Baker gave in October of 2018, the former FBI General Counsel revealed that he had been receiving information from Michael Sussmann who is a lawyer for Perkins Coie, the law firm that retained Fusion GPS and former British spy Christopher Steele on behalf of the Clinton Campaign and the DNC.
Multiple sources disclosed that Baker had met with Sussman to discuss details of Trump-Russia collusion allegations in advance of the FBI’s Oct. 21, 2016, application for a FISA warrant on Trump campaign adviser Carter Page.
In the execution of a criminal conspiracy a participant cannot hide behind the chain of command as an excuse. That’s especially true for an attorney who possesses an extensive knowledge of the law.
Even after Comey was fired by President Trump, following a scathing letter from Acting Attorney General Rod Rosenstein excoriating Comey, Baker kept his relationship with Sussman hidden.
As the FBI’s lead legal counsel Baker knew exactly what he was involved in and made no attempt to stop it.
To the contrary, by meeting with Sussman, who he knew to be acting as a political operative for both the DNC and the Hillary campaign, Baker chose to facilitate the conspiracy.
It was also previously revealed that Baker was under investigation for leaking to the media.
During a fall congressional interview, Baker’s attorney Daniel Levin told lawmakers, “You may or may not know, [Baker has] been the subject of a leak investigation … a criminal leak investigation that’s still active at the Justice Department.”
Baker, contrary to what he told Isikoff, won’t stand up to the scrutiny that he claims to welcome.
