Bill Barr’s DOJ Predictions, by an Attendee of a conference called Government Investigations and Civil Litigation Institute who asked to remain anonymous
Matt Gaetz is out for AG… but Kash Patel is in for the FBI. What a whirlwind the past month has been. One thing is for certain – DOJ is in for an interesting ride over the next four years. William Barr, former AG under Presidents George H.W. Bush and Donald Trump, certainly has a lot of insights about what DOJ may soon endure. He was the keynote “fireside” speaker at the Government Investigations & Civil Litigation Institute’s recent 10th annual meeting. Despite current and former prosecutors comprising most of the audience, former AG Barr began his remarks by acknowledging that the “Deep State is real,” and that the DOJ has been “weaponized” by those who profess to “protect democracy” but are doing the opposite. When did DOJ become infiltrated with the Deep State? Sometime during his first and second stints as AG (late 1990’s to 2016-ish), when he personally saw a swing in the “politicization” within the rank-and-file. Citing the “bogus” and “fake” prosecutions of Michael Cohen and Gen. Flynn, former AG Barr was clear that “some offices,” such as the SDNY, have more “Deep State” employees than others, who needed to be weeded out to “restore the Department”. Ironically, former AG Barr did not mention the political investigations and prosecutions of DOJ during decades prior; for example, the 1960s, when covert FBI operations and programs were aimed at discrediting and targeting prominent civil rights activists. Nor did he mention Trump’s proposed pardoning of hundreds of January 6th rioters, which would seemingly contradict restoring justice and removing politics from the Department. Towards the end of his remarks, former AG Barr offered some predictions, which did not seem to assuage the crowd: (1) greater controls and supervision over line AUSAs and more adherence to supervision/hierarchy; (2) elimination of DOJ programs that encourage “reverse discrimination”; (3) prohibiting DOJ’s Civil Rights Division from “allowing educators to indoctrinate kids in public schools with views diametrically opposed to popular views” and not allowing the FBI to “police our PTAs”; (4) getting aggressive on the cartels and at the US-Mexican border; and (5) strengthening joint task forces to reduce violence in America. Former AG Barr also had choice remarks for “Big Law”: strip out the “wokeness”. He made it clear that he formed his own law firm after Kirkland walked away from Second Amendment cases and “pushed” Clement out… a move, he viewed, dictated by “left woke” associates.

I could not be more excited for the next 4 years. Kash will do a fine, much needed job of cleaning up the FBI. Bondi will do the same with DoJ.
Just today, ABC wrote a story about Kash Patel's phone being hacked by Iranian hackers. This is the classic liberal media playbook. The bureaucrats need to change their playbook, just a little bit. I bet someone started the rumor that Mr. Patel's phone was hacked, and based on just a rumor, ABC has published that it in fact has happened, per "sources familiar with the situation." This should be a crime and punishable. Enough is ENOUGH.
It should be a crime and punishable for news outlets to report news based on unnamed sources? This is the stuff of third world autocrats.
YES. All it takes is some life-long bureaucrat in the FBI to make mention, then all of a sudden it becomes front page news. All while these left wing liberal news outlets and journalists do little to no leg work to verify the claims. Clearly, this is the beginning of the sabotage attempt on Mr. Patel's confirmation. The libs desperately need to change their playbook. It has become comical.
Patel is not qualified. And he has an enemies list. He is a threat.
I love how everyone just ignores the whole premise that Wray has to be fired to make room for Patel.
Is it? Or is there a long history of confidential sources sharing info with news outlets in the U.S.? A crime…?! Wtf is the crime?
Barr has simply fallen from grace. Much like Giuliani.
Hilarious enough, the story has disappeared.
Get em Kash!
Has it?
Kash Patel, Trump’s pick to be FBI director, targeted in Iranian-backed cyberattack
Two senior law enforcement officials confirmed the FBI recently informed Patel about the attack.

MAGAts up above flexing their beer muscles drunk on owning the "libtards". its all fun and games, until its not. you all need more Matthew 25:31-46 in your lives.
Kash will be best FBI Director since Hoover!
As some who saw up close how Kash litigated cases (something I suspect I have in common with many blog readers), I am surprised there is not more local opposition to his nomination. He couldn't figure out how the Sentencing Guidelines or the ACCA enhancements worked, but we expect him to effectively manage 30,000 agents, basically all of whom can run circles around him intellectually?
Barr demands that law firms strip out "wokeness." Barr's vision of a law firm is 17 white men and 3 white women. Says all you need to know.
"This is the stuff of third world autocrats."
Well, duh That's what we voters wanted. This "freedom" stuff is overrated. We need a dictator on day one, and the next 1460 days which follow. Look what Francisco Franco did for Spain. Let's hope that Trump is as good at murdering liberals as Franco was. That's the best way to MAGA.
Yes, someone else! I think many of the readers here could use these passages as well.
Exodus 22:21 - Do not mistreat or oppress a foreigner, for you were foreigners in Egypt.
Leviticus 19:34 - The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt.
Matthew 5:38-39 - You have heard that it was said, 'Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.' But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also.
Matthew 19:23-24 - Truly I tell you, it is hard for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of heaven. Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.
I pray that Donald Trump finds Christ.
Haven’t you read the local quotes about Kash. What other type of opposition do you expect. Maybe Caruso should write an op-ed.
As someone who also attended this conference and heard Barr’s pontifications, we should all be scared for democracy. This is a man who detested Kash Patel and said negative things about Trump… only to now be back in the cult. Sigh. I wish well for DOJ bc it’s failing does no good to anyone, but this is truly difficult to watch.
It is possible to disagree with Kash & Trump on some topics/issues, however, we all AGREE the deep state exists, and needs to be dismantled.
We all agree that the deep state exists and needs to be dismantled? Not so such about that, buddy.
Wow - no we don’t all agree that there is a deep state.
We all agree that the stock market would have crashed if the libs had another 4 years.
PS , Kash is King and Paul P should stick to litigation support.
Uh no we don’t all agree on that either. Wow - maybe take a step or two outside your bubble. Also “the libs”? What are you in grade school?
taxes rates stay low market goes high. Kash money never gonna play out. Stick to what you know.
As well he should be. never should have raided mar lago. Good riddance. Once upon a time the dems hated cops , war and fought for the working man. As bob dylan said - the times they are a changing.
Author doesn't know what "ironically" means.
Sounds like the DOJ of old...
