3 Dems hunt for Barr-Trump scandal via a WaPo anonymous rumor

Still hoping to find a crime, or just something embarrassing, three Democrat Senators filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to U.S. Attorney General William Barr, asking for all documents concerning a rumor that the President told Barr to hold a presser clearing him of wrongdoing in the Ukraine affair.

Senators Kamala Harris, Richard Blumenthal, and Sheldon Whitehouse filed the FOIA request on Nov. 8, according to the Hill.

In a statement, the three accused the President of wrongdoing:

“We submit this FOIA request in order to obtain communications, documents, and other information related to the president’s reported request that you hold a news conference to clear him of wrongdoing during his call with the Ukrainian president.

“[There are] serious concerns about the president’s perception of the Justice Department as a partisan political instrument and his willingness to use the power of federal law enforcement in pursuit of his own objectives.”

The President and William Barr have both denied the rumor which arose from yet another anonymous source quoted by the far-left Washington Post.

Even if it were true, there is nothing illegal in it. He could have asked Bill Barr to hold the conference and Bill Barr could have done it, breaking no laws.

FAKE WAPO CON JOB

In a statement, White House spokesperson Hogan Gidley said President Trump respects the independence of the Department of Justice.

“The President has nothing but respect for AG Barr and greatly appreciates the work he’s done on behalf of the country — and no amount of shady sources with clear intent to divide, smear, and slander will change that.

The DOJ did, in fact, release a statement about the call, and the claim that it resulted in tension because it wasn’t a news conference is completely false.”

President Trump called it a “Fake Washington Post con job.”

ALL these hidden whistle blowers are mounting up. Isnt anyone going to know who is making accusations but yet they think the American people would agree to removing the president. These democrats are sitting on their brains. Now, because the Barr, Durhan and Horowitz reports are coming and THEY are SCARED to their innards what is coming. The dems will probably start another investigation. They really are showing how guilty many dems are and are afraid of the fingers pointed in their faces. The Democratic Party has become a party of clowns all trying to get into the little CLOWN car. They have turned themselves into unrespected people who have done NOTHING for the PEOPLE!

They have nothing better to do than to find any excuse to criminalize the President.

Democrats want to find more embarrassing or compromising things about the president, to add to the reason for impeachment. They also want Barr to recuse himself on anything related to Ukraine. No more. There is still somebody who leaks very sensitive information. Everybody should have been tested for leaks. We need to work on public sentiment (bless Nancy) and spreading the good news in blue states.
