D.C. Circuit panel guts House subpoena power

Barr kept Trump’s tax records from disclosure; distorted the Mueller report; reduced Roger Stone’s sentence; dismissed the Michael Flynn case; fired an attorney investigating Trump’s allies, bank & inauguration committee. His goal is to protect Trump, not the pursuit of justice.

Barr used the Justice Department to cover up Trump’s crimes & investigate Trump’s enemies. He planted his daughter in the Treasury Department to keep Trump’s finances from public disclosure. #ImpeachBarr for letting America become Trump’s Banana Republic. His daughter is stationed at Treasury to protect Trump’s taxes. Her husband is on Trump’s legal team. Follow Trump’s advice, and so what we did with Enron: “You have to go after their families, you have to”. Subpoenas, hearings…

Postmaster General Louis DeJoy’s son, who was not a top tennis prospect, made it onto Duke’s competitive tennis team while DeJoy & his wife donated to Duke’s athletic dept. In all they gave at least $2.2M. he had enough money to pay the bribe directly to the school, that’s perfectly legal.
The OTHER FOLKS WHO went to jail for paying someone else who then paid the coaches. Better to cut out the middle man & just donate to the college to get your kid in & on a team. It’s amazing how things ‘just fall into place’ after your parents donate $793k

DeJoy also committed banking fraud by forging signatures to open bank accounts into which he secretly siphoned corporate money. This would have turned up in a normal vetting process, but Mnuchin pushed DeJoy into the USPS position without proper vetting.

“If you study world history, there are examples where a government begins to encourage vigilantism and armed militias to support the state. It is almost always the penultimate step to fascist takeover. When those in power encourage armed conflict between citizens, beware.”
Freemasons the “original deep state”
White supremacy in the US was *also* fostered by freemasons  see Albert Pike A Founder of the Ku Klux Klan. There is a frightening overlap between between law enforcement and white supremacists.
An exceptional number of local police are also freemasons. The Washington Monument was built by and maintained by Scottish Rite Freemasons. During the Civil War freemasons would cross battle lines to render aid to one another, regardless of what uniform they wore. They still do this today.

Trump / Barr’s removal of career senior national security official, weeks before election, raises concerns
Current and former national security officials are raising concerns over Attorney General William Barr’s recent decision to remove the head of a Justice Department office that helps ensure federal counterterrorism and counterintelligence activities are legal – and replace him with a political appointee with relatively limited experience. “It’s very alarming,” said Katrina Mulligan, who worked for the Obama administration in several national security roles and then, after President Donald Trump’s inauguration, joined the Office of Law and Policy in the Justice Department’s National Security Division. For much of the past decade, that little-known office has been led by Deputy Assistant Attorney General Brad Wiegmann, a 23-year career public servant, not a political appointee. But two weeks ago, Wiegmann, 54, was told he is being reassigned and replaced with a political appointee, according to a Justice Department spokesman and sources familiar with the matter.

Barr tightens rules on surveillance of political candidates and advisers
By Devlin Barrett September 1, 2020 at 10:18 a.m. EDT
Attorney General William P. Barr on Tuesday imposed new rules tightening the use of government surveillance on political candidates or their staffers — a move likely to cheer conservatives who have long criticized how the FBI investigated the Trump campaign in 2016. In a pair of memos, the attorney general said that before the FBI and Justice Department seek a warrant from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court to secretly monitor the communications of an elected official, a declared political candidate, or any of their staff, official advisers, or informal advisers, officials must first consider warning that person that foreign governments may be targeting them, and if they choose not to give such a warning, the FBI director must spell out in writing the reasons for not doing so. Barr’s memos speak directly to one of the biggest complaints about the FBI made by President Trump and his supporters — that agents wrongly surveilled former campaign aide Carter Page in 2016.
