Barr and the problem with playing the "long game"

[orangecrush]

As I see it, if Barr continues on his present course of "investigating the investigators", the next step will be kangaroo courts and the jailing of Trump's political opponents and any in law enforcement/intelligence who dare oppose him.

At that point, time will already have run out on the "long game".If Trump follows the course of despots throughout history, the crackdown will be rapid, vicious, and unexpected.

1. You bet,

Barr will control the narrative. He will declare that the FBI and Democrats carried on a witch hunt against Trump. Hillary will be attacked and Barr will put Hillary's name on the 2020 ballot.

2. If that happens, all that blue enthusiasm that gave the dems control of the House,

because the People wanted this corrupt & criminal administration to be held accountable, will be whooshed away. Not a damned thing has been done about foreign interference in our electoral process. We need every vote we can get. Winning the House in 2020 is not a given.

3. Why not have open hearings about the oranges of the investigation

That way, everyone can hear why the feds were so spooked about TrumpRussia.

4. Pelosi should be investigating the origins of the Russia investigation...

Trump just gave Barr the ability to frame and mold the entire narrative.

5. Seems to me that "Nancy Pelosi" and the House ARE investigating the origins.

She and the Democrats in the House are not only investigating, but they are also passing needed legislation. Legislation that goes to the Senate to die under Mitch McConnell. Impeachment will go the same route, if began too fast. Give Nancy and the House Democrats credit for building a foundation for impeachment to convince ALL American people that it is a necessity. Place the blame where it needs to be place, squarely on the shoulders of the Republicans! It really irritates me when Democrats are attacked by their own, especially here on DU.

7. They are investigating Trump's finances...which is important, Trump is dirty there as well.

what investigations are they doing regarding Comey, the Australian connection, the FISA warrants, McCain's involvement in sending the dossier to the FBI, and on and on.


I am not blaming the Dems for what Trump has done or the GOP has done, why are you implying that I am siding with GOP?

[pazzyanne]

8. You just answered your own question.

[Thomas Hurt]

9. So you are saying we shouldn't investigate the beginnings of the Trump Russia investigation

to expose Trump's narrative as the lies they are? Why?

[pazzyanne]

10. Thank you for the clarification.

It does cast a different light on what you have posted. Guess the origin of most of what you have listed have been discussed and dissected as things have been developing as far as I can see. Personally, his finances are a large concern, as they contain the secrets that tRump is trying so hard to hide. As for tRump's lies, that is a given!

[Thomas Hurt]

12. Of course, but if you don't expose his lies, some people will begin to believe them....

by some people I mean those who not cult of personality addled RWNJs.

6. Truth usually wins the long game. People weary of "investigating the investigators" will prefer the

simple factual evidence of the investigators, knowing that no later pile of he-said/she-said counter talk will tear down the wall of fact the original investigation built.

If the Senate does nothing, The People will still know the truth. If they still value truth.

11. Amen!
