Contempt of Congress

Tracy Beanz did a livestream on the recent events surrounding AG Barr and the House Judiciary Committee. The short of it is that the Democrats on the committee voted to hold Barr in Contempt of Congress for not providing a fully redacted copy of the Mueller Report. Because of laws protecting grand jury testimony, it would be illegal for Barr to offer a fully redacted copy. He went so far as to offer a far less redacted version that would be made available in a SCIF from which the Congressmen would be unable to leak a copy. Of course, none of them actually went to view the document. They don't want information, they want a scandal. This is all very similar to the events of a year or so ago, with the great public debate of whether it was Devin Nunes or Adam Schiff telling the truth about the contents of the FISA requests. Then, also, none of the Democrats on that committee could be bothered to actually view the documents that had been made available to them in a SCIF.

There's a pattern because it's all the same shit, over and over. Schiff made his own memo stuffed full of classified information he knew could never be released unredacted, and then cried obstruction when the Committee voted not to violate the law. Now, again, they are demanding that Barr release information in violation of the law, or be held in contempt. The Congress now holds officials in contempt for obeying their laws! Talk about clown world. This is really all beyond the pale.

It's the same game, constantly. Create a scenario where the bad man is hiding something. When it is revealed, just move on effortlessly to the next faux scandal. They don't want information, they want to fabricate a scandal. The dirty secret is that everyone in Washington has always known that there was never Russian collusion. They've known it for years. Every one of those Democrats knows that there is nothing bad hidden in the Mueller Report, and they are merely following the laws that they are required to follow. They aren't just lying, but they are weaponizing their oversight roles as political action. They are revolutionaries, and join the intelligence agencies who spied on the unapproved candidate Trump, then concocted an imaginary crime (funded by his rival!) to derail his presidency.

In another one of those evil ironies that we're getting tired of, the Committee Chairman, Nadler, was one of the lawmakers who helped get the protection for grand jury witnesses in the first place! You almost have to have some sympathy for these gullible rank-and-file Democrats who keep getting suckered time and time again. Because it's actually easier to believe that Barr is lying and the redacted portions are political damaging and not actually legally protected, rather than to believe that the Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee would hold a Cabinet member in Contempt of Congress for not violating a law that the chairman had helped to write himself. They stay in power only because most people cannot or don't want to fathom just how throughly corrupt and evil they really are.

I hold them all in contempt. That's my Contempt of Congress. The optimistic viewpoint is that the Democrats are desperate because they fear Barr, and the true justice that is coming. I'm not so optimistic that we'll see anything like that. This is their normal mode of operations these days. Think of where we're at this year. Hysteric gang-rape allegations in the Supreme Court confirmation hearings. An AG held in Contempt of Congress for respecting the laws of Congress. The alarm bells are ringing here. This insanity is not sustainable. Brace for unrest in the coming years, not decades.
