If you are bewildered by the weird antipathy with which Democrats and the media regard Attorney General William Barr, consider a passage from the Nobel Prize acceptance speech delivered by Polish dissident Czesław Miłosz in 1980: "In a room where people unanimously maintain a conspiracy of silence, one word of truth sounds like a pistol shot." Our government hasn't yet devolved into the kind of totalitarian regime under which Poland groaned at that time, but there is a conspiracy of silence surrounding the skullduggery that led to the Russia collusion fraud, and Barr fired that metaphorical pistol on April 10, 2019.
Barr used the word "Spying" during testimony before the Senate Appropriations Committee with regard to his plan to look into counterintelligence activities against the Trump campaign during the 2016 election cycle.
"It's a perfectly good English word; I will continue to use it." This is why Barr is so scary to Washington insiders.
It's a valid fear as Barr told CBS:. I just think it has to be carefully looked at because the use of foreign intelligence capabilities and counterintelligence capabilities against an American political campaign to me is unprecedented and it's a serious red line that's been crossed.
Comey's allusion to "Conspiracy theories" is particularly ironic now that we know the Russian collusion narrative he helped compose and leak to the media was the conspiracy theory that ate D.C. And the fired FBI director is by no means the only Washington insider having difficulty holding his water over AG Barr's interest in the origins of the Russia Collusion scam.
Former CIA director John Brennan has vehemently objected to President Trump's decision to give Barr authority to "Declassify, downgrade, or direct the declassification or downgrading of information or intelligence that relates to the Attorney General's review."
In his latest effusion for New York, Jonathan Chait informs his readers, "Barr has drunk deep from the Fox News worldview of Trumpian paranoia." In response to the Attorney General's common sense assertion during the CBS interview that it is unhealthy for our institutions to resist "a democratically elected president by changing the norms," Chait actually writes: "In fact, the opposition to Trump has been marked, on the whole, by its fastidious restraint." This suggests that he should stay away from the bar before writing about Barr.
