“Under oath, do you commit to not releasing any report by Mr. (John) Durham before the November election,” the politically naïve Rep. Debbie Mucarsel-Powell (D-FL) asked Barr.  To which he quickly responded, “no.”

“So you won’t go by the Department of Justice policy that you won’t interfere in any political investigation before the November election?,” she pressed.

“We won’t interfere,“ Barr insisted.  “In fact, I made it clear I’m not going to tolerate it.”

If you take that to mean that Barr will not allow Durham to interfere with the election, I think you would be mistaken.  I believe that if Durham is prepared to reveal his findings next week, or next month he will do so without interference by Barr.

Lawmakers like Mucarsel-Powell are reading into the DOJ memorandum, wording that applies to DOJ employees, not Durham. It states: “Department of Justice employees are entrusted with the authority to enforce the laws of the United States and with the responsibility to do so in a neutral and impartial manner.  This is particularly important in an election year.”

As I have written before, Donald Trump has been the victim of a near four-year political effort beginning with members of the Obama administration prior to his election and continuing as a Deep State coup attempt.  One cannot deny that the impeachment trial was a politically partisan effort.

“Durham’s findings are vital for all Americans who care about democracy and the integrity of the election process,” wrote Elad Hakim in The Federalist. “Americans deserve to know what happened leading up to the 2016 elections.”

Democrats would like nothing more than to delay the release of Durham’s findings.  And you and I know that if Joe Biden were to be elected, Durham’s report would be buried.

Whether Biden remembers it or not, the underhanded activities in the DOJ and FBI to delegitimize Trump’s presidency took place on the Obama-Biden watch.

We now know that intelligence operatives of the Obama administration blatantly used the standard intelligence briefing for major party candidates to investigate Trump on suspicion of being a Russian asset.

Documents now show how abusive officials can exploit their powers against any political opponent. “And the people who authorized the political spying will be right back in business if, come November, Obama’s vice president is elected president,” writes Andrew McCarthy in National Review, who notes that Biden has yet to asked serious questions about it.

“The fact that John Durham’s findings could play a role in how some Americans think about a particular person or party should not dissuade Durham from releasing them before the election.”

HERE’S A POLL THAT SHOULD SHAKE YOU – In a survey of 1,000 individuals in each of eight countries, including the U.S., Kekst, a public relations and strategic communications and market research firm, issued a report of its findings on Covid-19, and they should shake you.

“People significantly over-estimate the spread and fatality rate of the disease,” Kekst reports.  That’s putting it mildly.

Unbelievably, the average American thinks that nine percent of the U.S. population have already died from Covid-19.  That’s about 30 million people … 225 times the confirmed number of deaths at the time of the survey.  As I write this, there have been 156,744 deaths attributed to the virus.

In the UK and Sweden, too, those surveyed there believe that six to seven percent of their populations have died from the virus, 100 times the actual death rates.

The blame for this false perception falls on the mainstream misinformation media.  They toss around case numbers as if they equal death numbers. 

They want you to think the worst.  It’s another weapon in their agenda to prevent the reelection of President Trump.

Kekst is in the business of advising it’s clients, many in the Fortune 500, on addressing the issue.  “Perception is reality when it comes to consumers,” they state, “and such views will be impacting consumer behavior and wider attitudes” regardless of the inaccuracy of the numbers.

LEAVE IT TO BARACK OBAMA, with an accented delivery much like that of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, he couldn’t resist using his eulogy for Rep. John Lewis to attack the current administration, reminiscent of the memorial for Sen. Paul Wellstone in 2002.

It was at the Wellstone memorial that then Minority Leader Trent Lott was booed, requiring Democrats to apologize for the inappropriate behavior. It was referred to as a political rally by local media.  Minnesota’s Independent Gov. Jesse Ventura, suggested that the Democrats should hang their heads in shame, as he walked out of the service.

“Today we witness with our own eyes, police officers kneeling on the necks of black Americans,” said Obama. “George Wallace may be gone, but we can witness our federal government sending agents to use tear gas and batons against peaceful demonstrators.”  An outright lie.

Obama, while conceding that such things should not be dwelled on at a celebration like this, said he did so for Lewis.   Sure.

“And as we sit here, there are those in power who are doing their darndest to discourage people from voting by closing polling locations and targeting minorities  and students with restrictive ID laws and attack our voting rights with surgical precision, even undermining the Postal Service in the run-up to the  election that’s going to be dependent on mail-in ballots so people don’t get sick.”

How embarrassing for someone who knows that Trump has accomplished more than he did in his eight years in the White House. 

May God continue to bless the United States of America.
