Bill Barr is the source of Trump's power

[Under The Radar]

The attorney general is the shield to preventing all federal investigations into Trump. I have no evidence but in the manner which the Muller investigation seemed incomplete and came to an abrupt halt was because Barr shut it down and preventing Muller from proclaiming guilt on the President.
I have no doubt that Barr ended the Epstein affair, and the SDNY investigations into the Trump Org, Trump inaugural committee, and all other investigations and Federal representations in court have been altered or halted.
Mitch McConnell can only alter what comes across his desk in the form of judges, legislation, and impeachment which I agree is a lot of power, To keep lawsuits against Trump personally, his business and his administration from being investigated or ever see a lasting court ruling, that allows Trump to run roughshod over the rule of law and our moral laws, that protection is in the hands of Bill Barr and appears that the entire Republican Party fears most.

1. That is why he has to be

neutralized.

[Kablooie]

2. He announced that any more investigations into campaign corruption has to be approved by him.

Which means Trump is 100% free to be as corrupt as he can.
The FBI will just have to look away.

But don't be surprised if the FBI starts really digging deep into the Democratic candidate's campaign.

3. Yep, the tinpot dictator has consolidated power

Frightening

4. That and main stream media.. When you stop talking about him he has no power to disrupt

Same happened to Sen. Joe Mccathry. He screwed up and the press stopped talking about him. His show trials stopped and he just faded away.. He had done his damage already...

5. Yea but we need the press to report Trumps corruption

Because there will not be another whistle blower to come forward or any further government employee testimony as long as this administration is in office.
How will we ever know?

6. There is now an horrendous troika of

McConnell in Senate, Barr at what used to be called "Justice" and Pompeo at State. Trump has all his crucial ducks in a row. I am well aware there are other strategically-placed important seniors in the Cabinet and Congress also capable of mayhem, but the trio of capos at Senate/Justice/State can do tremendous, sustained, insidious and blatant damage as well as provide totally scary protection of the Don.

8. The only peg left to take is the Press

There will be tremendous pressure put on the corporate media to report what Trump tells them.
Basically one step away from Autocracy.

14. Nailed it. nt

7. He is becoming Trump's Himmler

He is building the DOJ into Trump's Schutzstaffel with the FBI as the foot soldiers.

If we see Bolton arrested, you can count on Democrats being arrested in October. How do I know? I always ask "What Would Putin Do?"

Putin always arrests the opposition.

9. Hat tip for "Schutzstaffel"

Had to look it up.

11. I've been a student of the Rise of Hitler and WWII since the age of 12.

Upon meeting my first Auschwitz survivor and being told "Never Again", I've spent a lifetime educating myself on how it happened.

I've known 18 Holocaust survivors in my life, all met through innocuous random occurrence and none sought out. Three survived Auschwitz. I've seen the tattoos. I have been sickened by what they were willing to share, and there was so much more they could not even speak of.

This sort of thing will continue to happen in 70-100 year cycles. In particular I believe there is one particular primary candidate who is spending time and money to defeat Trump with no other motivation than the rise of Neo-Nazism and its normalization by Trump.

12. Excuse me if I'm dense but

do you mean Bloomberg? I didn't realize he was focused on that aspect of Trump. I'm opening my mind to him. He certainly runs effective ads.

[Zolorp]

13. Watch the released ads

The one called this is not who we are.

It's pretty obvious given he is a Jewish man in his late seventies and grew up as a Jew in the aftermath of the Holocaust.

10. Barr has apparently shut down MULTIPLE investigations into Twitler

@donwinslow
I have multiple sources inside the Justice Department that tell me when Barr became Attorney General he shut down *six* separate investigations into Trump and Trump related companies and surrogates.

I'm told Barr has also prevented *two new* investigations from moving forward.

15. Why aren't people in the DoJ speaking up ?!?!

16. Fear of financial ruin, public humiliation and threat of physical harm

Jeff Epstein was handled by Barr, watch how Lev Parnas disappears, Jim Comey (he has already stopped his criticism of Trump), Peter Strzok, Andrew McCabe, are being broken with legal fees fighting Trumps attacks.
For those that will fight back could face the Epstein treatment.
There should be concern for the well being of Micheal Cohen in prison. And look for mass pardons of Flynn, Manifort, and others who kept quiet in the Muller probe.
It is going to get bad for many people.
