UPDATE<\/strong><\/p>\n

This article was originally published on December 12, 2018. The serious questions raised in the piece remain completely unanswered.<\/em><\/p>\n

Why was Barr chosen, given his shocking and deeply criminal\/cover-up kingpin background?<\/p>\n

Was Trump duped by Deep State enemies, who have placed another predator into his administration with the power to destroy his presidency? Or has Trump co-opted and turned Barr, in the hopes that Barr will do Trump\u2019s bidding? Why would Barr ever turn against his own Deep State cronies?<\/p>\n

Does Trump have a plan? With Barr in place, is Trump signaling to his enemies that \u201cI now own the Deep State\u201d? Or is Barr the Deep State\u2019s ultimate and final weapon against Trump, who remains surrounded by Bush\/Clinton \u201cswamp creatures\u201d such as\u00a0National Security Adviser\u00a0John Bolton<\/a><\/strong>, who is one of Barr\u2019s many fellow\u00a0Iran-Contra co-conspirators<\/a>,\u00a0Vice President Mike Pence<\/strong>\u00a0(who is in ideal position for a\u00a0coup<\/a>\u00a0against Trump, and remains\u00a0very cozy with the Clintons<\/a>, dozens of Obama appointees that remain in place, and Republican \u201cNever Trumpers\u201d, all of whom continue to undermine Trump.<\/p>\n

Political Succession and \u201cThe Bush-Clinton Nexus\u201d: Permanent Criminal State, \u201cA Clinton White House Guarantees War with Russia\u201d<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Pay careful attention to the confirmation \u201chearings\u201d. How many of the senators \u201cquestioning\u201d Barr are themselves connected to the Bush\/Clinton era criminal operations that Barr supervised as George H.W. Bush\u2019s attorney general?<\/p>\n

Will anyone in Washington, or in the CIA asset-filled mainstream media, dare bring up Iran-Contra? Will anyone dare detail Barr\u2019s corruption, and his longstanding ties to the Bush\/Clinton network? What about the fact that Barr is\u00a0best friends with Robert Mueller<\/a>?<\/p>\n

Even the alternative media, including the whistleblowing research-intensive pro-Trump anon community, has been virtually silent on Barr, despite the fact that his criminal history is glaringly obvious, lurid, and begging to be exposed.<\/p>\n

Rumors abound that slippery\u00a0Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein<\/strong>\u00a0is\u00a0expected to leave the Justice Department<\/a>\u00a0following Barr\u2019s likely confirmation. This further clears the way for Barr to seize the power to determine the fate of the Mueller probe, the John Huber (Inspector General) report, FISAgate, Clinton emails, Uranium One, and other key investigations.<\/p>\n

William Barr could well determine the course of the political war between President Donald Trump and his enemies, and decide\u00a0 the fate of Donald Trump\u2019s presidency itself.<\/p>\n

Should William Barr serve as the highest law enforcement official of the country?<\/em><\/p>\n

For a presidential administration whose\u00a0mandate<\/a>\u00a0was the eradication of corruption, the \u201cdraining of the swamp\u201d, and the restoration of law?<\/em><\/p>\n

With the nomination of\u00a0William Barr<\/strong>\u00a0for attorney general, that is what\u00a0President Donald Trump<\/strong>\u00a0wants American citizens and the world to accept.<\/em><\/p>\n

Fawning mainstream media coverage<\/a>,\u00a0and streams of puff pieces<\/a>\u00a0laud Barr as a \u201crespected\u201d establishment \u201clegal scholar\u201d, as do Donald Trump\u2019s\u00a0Twitter post<\/a>s<\/a>\u00a0about Barr.<\/p>\n

The fact is, there is nothing to \u201crespect\u201d and everything to condemn about Barr\u2019s work as a key inner circle operative throughout George Herbert Walker Bush\u2019s rise to power, from CIA Director to Vice President to President. These aspects of Barr\u2019s resume remain whitewashed by mainstream coverage. They have been amply documented by whistleblowers and those who worked directly with Barr.<\/p>\n

The issue at hand is not Barr\u2019s \u201clegal mind\u201d, but the ruthless\u00a0mind\u00a0<\/em>that he wielded with frightening authority and expertise as George H. W. Bush\u2019s treasonous hatchet man in the Justice Department. William Barr distorted and corrupted the law, as grossly as anyone in modern history.<\/p>\n

Barr: CIA operative\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is a sobering fact that American presidents (many of whom have been corrupt) have gone out of their way to hire fixers to be their attorney generals.<\/p>\n

Consider recent history: Loretta Lynch (2015-2017), Eric Holder (2009-2015), Michael Mukasey (2007-2009), Alberto Gonzales (2005-2007), John Ashcroft (2001-2005),Janet Reno (1993-2001), Dick Thornburgh (1988-1991), Ed Meese (1985-1988), etc.<\/p>\n

Barr, however, is a particularly spectacular and sordid case. As George H.W. Bush\u2019s most notorious insider, and as the AG from 1991 to 1993, Barr wreaked havoc, flaunted the rule of law, and proved himself to be\u00a0one of the CIA\/Deep State\u2019s greatest and most ruthless champions and protectors<\/a>:<\/p>\n
