Trump, still fighting last election, rips Barr and Pompeo for not pursuing Clinton hard enough
President Trump on Thursday attacked two of his closest associates for not doing enough to bring down his political opponents, as he continues to pursue his obsession with the 2016 election.

In a wide-ranging, 55-minute interview with Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo, Trump criticized Attorney General William Barr for not arresting enough Democrats and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo for not finding Hillary Clinton’s emails from her tenure as secretary of state, which the president believes are somewhere inside the State Department.

“They’re in the State Department, but Mike Pompeo has been unable to get them out, which is very sad, actually,” Trump said. “I’m not happy about him for that reason. He was unable to get them out. I don’t know why. You’re running the State Department, you get them out.”

In addition, he attacked FBI Director Christopher Wray for not investigating his claims of widespread voter fraud.

The live telephone interview was the president’s first since his release from Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, where he was treated after falling ill from the coronavirus.

Trump said Wray wasn’t doing his job by failing to investigate voter fraud after the FBI director said there is no evidence to substantiate the president’s obsession with the issue, which election officials unanimously agree is not a problem in national elections.

“He’s been disappointing,” Trump said. “He doesn’t see the voting ballots as a problem.”

Last month, Wray told Congress that the bureau has “not seen, historically, any kind of coordinated national voter fraud effort in a major election, whether it’s by mail or otherwise.”


And in his sharpest criticism of Barr to date, Trump said that history would look poorly on the attorney general if he fails to prosecute Clinton and other members of the Obama administration for alleged crimes, including “spying” on his 2016 campaign.

Members of the Trump campaign were investigated by the FBI over allegations of suspicious ties to Russia, an investigation that morphed into the probe by special counsel Robert Mueller. Mueller found no evidence of collusion between the campaign and Russia. There is no evidence in the public record to show that the Obama administration was gathering intelligence on Trump or that it used any information gathered by the FBI to help the Clinton campaign.

“Bill Barr is going to go down as either the greatest attorney general in the history of the country or he’s going to go down as, you know, a very sad situation,” Trump said. “I’ll be honest with you. He’s got all the information he needs. They want to get more, more, more. They keep getting more. I said, ‘You don’t need any more.’”

Last year, Barr tapped U.S. Attorney John Durham to investigate the origins of the 2016 FBI investigation. There has been no indication from the Justice Department as to when findings of the probe will be unveiled.

In a flurry of tweets and retweets Wednesday, Trump wondered aloud about the status of the investigation.

“Where are all of the arrests?” he tweeted. “Can you imagine if the roles were reversed? Long term sentences would have started two years ago. Shameful!”

“NOW THAT THE RADICAL LEFT DEMOCRATS GOT COUGHT [sic] COLD IN THE (NON) FRIENDLY TRANSFER OF GOVERNMENT, IN FACT, THEY SPIED ON MY CAMPAIGN AND WENT FOR A COUP, WE ARE ENTITLED TO ASK THE VOTERS FOR FOUR MORE YEARS,” Trump continued. “PLEASE REMEMBER THIS WHEN YOU VOTE!”

“DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS,” the president fumed in another tweet. “THE BIGGEST OF ALL POLITICAL SCANDALS (IN HISTORY)!!! BIDEN, OBAMA AND CROOKED HILLARY LED THIS TREASONOUS PLOT!!! BIDEN SHOULDN’T BE ALLOWED TO RUN - GOT CAUGHT!!!”

Biden says Trump 'turned his back' on Americans by pulling out of COVID-19 relief talks
https://news.yahoo.com/biden-says-trump-turned-his-back-on-americans-by-pulling-out-of-covid-19-relief-talks-232004279.html

Joe Biden eagerly seized on President Trump pulling out of negotiations with House Democrats on an emergency pandemic relief bill as more evidence for the Democratic candidate’s closing argument in the final month of the campaign: that Trump doesn’t care about working Americans.

“He turned his back on the small businesses that are struggling to keep their doors open. He turned his back on the firefighters and police officers and other first responders who depend on state and local government budgets that are strained to the breaking point,” Biden said in a written statement released Tuesday evening. “He turned his back on every single worker whose job hasn’t come back yet — and who are left to wonder when they’ll get the break they deserve. He turned his back on families struggling to pay rent, put food on their table, and take care of their kids.”

Hours earlier, Trump sent U.S. markets tumbling by announcing he was directing Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, who he had tasked with negotiating a compromise with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, to suspend talks until after the election.

“Nancy Pelosi is asking for $2.4 Trillion Dollars to bailout poorly run, high crime, Democrat States, money that is in no way related to COVID-19. We made a very generous offer of $1.6 Trillion Dollars and, as usual, she is not negotiating in good faith. I am rejecting their request, and looking to the future of our Country,” Trump, who spent his first full day back in the White House Tuesday after receiving treatment for COVID-19 at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, said on Twitter. “I have instructed my representatives to stop negotiating until after the election when, immediately after I win, we will pass a major Stimulus Bill that focuses on hardworking Americans and Small Business. I have asked Mitch McConnell not to delay, but to instead focus full time on approving my outstanding nominee to the United States Supreme Court, Amy Coney Barrett. Our Economy is doing very well. The Stock Market is at record levels, JOBS and unemployment also coming back in record numbers. We are leading the World in Economic Recovery, and THE BEST IS YET TO COME!”

Trump’s apparently impulsive move baffled political observers who saw a deal as his best hope to get past the COVID-19 catastrophe by taking credit for sending relief payments to voters ahead of the Nov. 3 election. Instead, Trump, who trails Biden by a growing margin in most polls, went out of his way to take responsibility for the collapse of the talks.

The president’s move also mystified Republicans in tough races for reelection, such as Sen. Susan Collins of Maine.

“Waiting until after the election to reach an agreement on the next COVID-19 relief package is a huge mistake,” Collins told reporters Tuesday.

With the U.S. jobs deficit still at nearly 11.5 million jobs since the start of the pandemic, Pelosi wasted little time in lashing out at the president’s decision.

“Today, once again, President Trump showed his true colors: putting himself first at the expense of the country, with the full complicity of the GOP Members of Congress,” she said in a written statement. “Walking away from coronavirus talks demonstrates that President Trump is unwilling to crush the virus, as is required by the Heroes Act. He shows his contempt for science, his disdain for our heroes — in health care, first responders, sanitation, transportation, food workers, teachers, teachers, teachers and others — and he refuses to put money in workers’ pockets, unless his name is printed on the check.”

Sen. Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., told Capitol Hill reporters that he approved of Trump’s move to kill negotiations before the election and to focus solely on appointing Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court.

“I think his view was that they were not gonna produce a result and that we needed to concentrate on what’s achievable,” McConnell said Tuesday.

Earlier in the day, Fed Chairman Jerome Powell encouraged Congress to spend big on coronavirus relief for American families, and Pelosi included that message in her statement.

“Clearly, the White House is in complete disarray,” Pelosi said in her statement. “Sadly, they are rejecting the urgent warnings of Fed Chairman Powell today, that ‘Too little support would lead to a weak recovery, creating unnecessary hardship for households and businesses. Over time, household insolvencies and business bankruptcies would rise, harming the productive capacity of the economy and holding back wage growth. By contrast, the risks of overdoing it seem, for now, to be smaller. Even if policy actions ultimately prove to be greater than needed, they will not go to waste.’”

Having spent the day in his private residence in the White House, Trump seemed to miss the meaning behind Powell’s words, retweeting a portion of them with the accompanying message, “True!”

Biden, meanwhile, made clear that, in his view, blame for the failure to reach a deal rested solely with the president, saying Trump “never even really tried to get a deal for these Americans. Not once did he bring Republicans and Democrats together in the Oval Office, on the phone, or by Zoom, to get a relief package that would help working people and small businesses in this country. Not once in the months since the House passed a relief package in May has he stepped up to lead.”

For some reason, I thought the title read Bill Burr... Lol.

They need to hurry up and invoke the 25th

This fat cac turns on literally everyone he comes in contact with. No loyalty

 

[Deezz]

Pure rhetoric trying to fire up his retarded mindless simpleton base.

 

[ballscout1]

And yet the BGOL Secessionist want us too believe that removing Trump from office isn't that big a deal because Biden ain't woke like them.

 

[blackpepper]

They need to hurry up and invoke the 25th

I gave up on that years ago. Although, if he looses the election it may become absolutely necessary before the new pres is inaugurated. Come to think of it, it may still be necessary even if he wins.

 

[PliggaNease]

They need to hurry up and invoke the 25th

Pelosi says they are about to start the discussions.

 

[0utsyder]

“Where are all of the arrests?” he tweeted. “Can you imagine if the roles were reversed? Long term sentences would have started two years ago. Shameful!”

YA'LL ARE IN CHARGE!!! If this shyt was substantial there would be arrests, but there aren't and if you started to arrest people for "trumped" up charges you would look more like fools than you already do. Why is it he hires these people if they're so incompetent? Sings their praises and then talks about how horrible they are at their job. Barr was the man 6 months ago, now... not so much.

 

[Dr. Truth]

Pelosi says they are about to start the discussions.

Why? This will just fuel conspiracy of a coup and his base will really wild out

 

[BKF]

Just in case you guys didn't know. Trump has already won the second debate between him and Biden. Well that's what he said he did.

Part of that is the drugs talking, but he basically broadcast the fact Barr has nothing on Hillary or Obama.

Trump tweeted this guy, and it's saying the argument he quoted is wrong.

At least use it to slow that SC seat confirmation, by bogging down the Senate.

‘Unmasking’ probe commissioned by Barr concludes without charges or any public report

Oct. 13, 2020 at 6:20 p.m. EDT

The federal prosecutor appointed by Attorney General William P. Barr to review whether Obama-era officials improperly requested the identities of individuals whose names were redacted in intelligence documents has completed his work without finding any substantive wrongdoing, according to people familiar with the matter.

The revelation that U.S. Attorney John Bash, who left the department last week, had concluded his review without criminal charges or any public report will rankle President Trump at a moment when he is particularly upset at the Justice Department. The department has so far declined to release the results of Bash’s work, though people familiar with his findings say they would likely disappoint conservatives who have tried to paint the “unmasking” of names — a common practice in government to help understand classified documents — as a political conspiracy.

The president in recent days has pressed federal law enforcement to move against his political adversaries and complained that a different prosecutor tapped by Barr to investigate the FBI’s 2016 investigation of his campaign will not be issuing any public findings before the election.


Legal analysts feared Bash’s review was yet another attempt by Trump’s Justice Department to target political opponents of the president. Even if it ultimately produced no results of consequence, legal analysts said, it allowed Trump and other conservatives to say Obama-era officials were under scrutiny, as long as the case stayed active.

The department — both under Barr and Trump’s previous attorney general, Jeff Sessions — has repeatedly turned to U.S. attorneys across the country to investigate matters of Republican concern, distressing current and former Justice Department officials, who fear department leaders are repeatedly caving to Trump’s pressure to benefit his allies and target those he perceives as political enemies.

Kerri Kupec, the Justice Department’s top spokeswoman, had first revealed Bash’s review in May, after Republican senators made public a declassified list of U.S. officials, including former vice president Joe Biden, who made requests that would ultimately reveal the name of Trump adviser Michael Flynn in intelligence documents in late 2016 and early 2017.

In an appearance on Fox News that month, Kupec told host Sean Hannity that Barr had tapped Bash, the top federal prosecutor in San Antonio, to review Obama-era officials’ unmasking requests. She said that though the practice “inherently isn’t wrong,” the frequency with which requests were made or the motive for making them could be “problematic.”

How a Flynn theory became central to the Trump reelection campaign

Though “unmasking” is common and appropriate because it allows government officials to better understand a document they are reading, Trump and others suggested the list of requests that ultimately revealed Flynn’s name showed wrongdoing.
Bash’s team was focused not just on unmasking, but also whether Obama-era officials provided information to reporters, according to people familiar with the probe, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss a sensitive investigation. But the findings ultimately turned over to Barr fell short of what Trump and others might have hoped, and the attorney general’s office elected not to release them publicly, the people familiar with the matter said. The Washington Post was unable to review the full results of what Bash found.


Bash announced last week that he was leaving the department — surprising many in the Justice Department because it came so close to the election — though he made no mention of the unmasking review. He said in a statement that he had informed the attorney general of the decision a month earlier and had “accepted an offer for a position in the private sector.” He gave formal resignation letters to the president and the attorney general on Oct. 5, and his last day was Friday.

Before being nominated as the U.S. attorney, Bash worked in the Solicitor General’s Office and as an associate counsel to Trump. Bash thanked Trump and others in the statement, and Barr offered his “gratitude” for Bash’s service.
“I appreciate his service to our nation and to the Justice Department, and I wish him the very best,” Barr said.


Asked Tuesday if Bash had quit over anything related to unmasking, Kupec said, “No, that was not my understanding.” At the time Bash’s departure was announced, she had said of the unmasking review, “Without commenting on any specific investigation, any matters that John Bash was overseeing will be assumed by Gregg Sofer,” who was tapped to replace Bash as the U.S. attorney. She declined this week to comment specifically on the status of the unmasking investigation.

Bash declined to comment. A spokesman for the U.S. attorney’s office in San Antonio said he could not immediately comment.

Q&A: What is ‘unmasking,’ who does it and why

It was not immediately clear why the department was holding back Bash’s findings. Officials do not generally discuss investigations that have been closed without criminal charges — though Bash’s case is unusual because it was announced publicly by the department spokeswoman. Justice Department policies and tradition, too, call for prosecutors not to take public steps in cases close to an election that might affect the results.


Before Bash’s appointment, Kupec had said that a different federal prosecutor, John Durham in Connecticut, also had been looking at unmasking as part of his broader investigation into the FBI’s 2016 probe of whether the Trump campaign coordinated with Russia to influence the election. It was not clear how Durham’s and Bash’s work intersected.

Barr recently told some Republican lawmakers that no report of Durham’s investigation would be released before the November election, though unlike Bash’s review, Durham’s work seems to be ongoing, people familiar with the matter said. Trump has in recent days called the delay in the Durham case “a disgrace,” and asserted that his 2016 Democratic opponent, Hillary Clinton, should be jailed. He was previously critical of another prosecutor specially tapped by then-Attorney General Sessions to investigate matters related to Clinton, but whose case ended with no public report or allegations of wrongdoing.
Barr had said previously he would not hold back Durham’s findings because of concerns about any impact on the election, as investigators were not focused on political candidates.


From early on in the Trump administration, some GOP lawmakers have sought to investigate and highlight Obama-era unmasking requests, believing them to be inappropriate. The effort was initially pushed in part by Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.), though the House Intelligence Committee he chaired at the time also asked U.S. spy agencies to reveal the names of U.S. individuals or organizations contained in classified intelligence on Russia’s interference in the 2016 presidential election.

In May, Republican Sens. Ron Johnson (Wis.), Charles E. Grassley (Iowa) and Rand Paul (Ky.) breathed new life into the effort, releasing a list of those who had made unmasking requests. The list included the names of more than three dozen former Obama administration officials. Among them were Biden, former White House chief of staff Denis McDonough, former FBI director James B. Comey, former CIA director John Brennan and former director of national intelligence James R. Clapper.
Then-acting director of national intelligence Richard Grenell had declassified and personally delivered the list to the Justice Department — his arrival captured by a pre-positioned Fox News camera — on the same day the Justice Department moved to drop criminal charges against Flynn.

Acting intelligence chief Grenell gave DOJ list of Obama officials who ‘unmasked’ Michael Flynn
Paul said at the time that, “We sort of have the smoking gun because we now have the declassified document with Joe Biden’s name on it.” And Trump renewed his broader attacks on the investigation of possible coordination between Russia and his campaign, suggesting those involved should be jailed.


“I’m talking with 50-year sentences,” Trump said in an interview with Fox Business Network.

Kupec soon appeared on Fox News and announced Bash’s inquiry. His work came on top of that of Durham and U.S. Attorney Jeff Jensen in St. Louis, who had been tapped specially to review the Flynn case and ultimately advised that the Justice Department should drop it.

The end of Bash’s case is similar to that of another review conducted by John Huber, the U.S. attorney in Utah who was asked in November 2017 by Sessions to look into concerns raised by Trump and his allies in Congress that the FBI had not fully pursued cases of possible corruption at the Clinton Foundation and during Clinton’s time as secretary of state. The Washington Post reported in January that the inquiry of had effectively ended with no tangible results. In the months that followed, Trump bemoaned the state of the inquiry on Twitter, asserting that Huber “did absolutely NOTHING.”

“He was a garbage disposal unit for important documents & then, tap, tap, tap, just drag it along & run out of time,” Trump wrote.

Its all a conspiracy concocted by the evil CIA, along with the incompetent FBI. The cowards in the military won't stop it. The corrupt post office is working in conjunction with Hillary Clinton and Obama to sabotage the election.
Crazy Nancy Pelosi won't sign the deal because she just wants money for failed democratic states that were destroyed by looters and the terrorist organization Antifa. Good thing the proud boys are standing down and standing by in case it gets worse.
