President Trump and Attorney General William P. Barr. By Paul Waldman Paul Waldman Opinion writer covering politics Email Bio Follow Opinion writer May 24 at 1:10 PM Because this is the Donald Trump era, the news that the president has “repeatedly urged” the Army Corps of Engineers to give a lucrative contract to a GOP donor and frequent Fox News guest is only the second most scandalous story of the day.
Barr’s “investigation” is nothing but a propaganda exercise, an effort to provide ballast to the lunatic idea that there should never have been any investigation at all into Russia’s attempts to help Trump get elected president. But we have to be clear about just how shocking this order from Trump is.
Needless to say, the identity of foreign assets is one of the most sensitive categories of information intelligence agencies hold. If we had a different attorney general, you might say, “Well, surely he’ll exercise the utmost care in what he reveals to the public.
🤣👌🙈
Davidlaz Are you going to delete this tweet Do you know who wrote it.
Pretty scary. Is it obvious to anyone else that decapitating the FBI counterintelligence heads and now declassifying intelligence about US assets in Russia is something a former colonel in the KGB has orchestrated.
Every time President Trump seeks the truth he is corrupt.Fired rogues in the FBI & CIA Dem heroes.
Your newspaper is a joke
It’s “corruption” to figure out how a fake investigation which tried to take down the president came be Lol
WOW Barr makes not only McCabe, Comey, etc. but also Sessions paragons of virtue. Who would have thunk it?
IMO Waldman is worried about his job.
Fact: The left is deflecting corruption because this Order is about to expose their Corrupt plan at a Coupdetat...
Yup, love the intelligence agencies and here to the people speaking of pe pol ey of to have a toilet brake
The Post is corrupt. You people never stop. Disgusting period
Funny how the corrupt left will point a finger and accuse The President who through five investigations hasn't been found guilty of anything just more fake news from the Washington Compost!
I’m sure you meant to say corruption investigation into the Obama administration right?
Gentlemen (term used loosely) I trust and pray that after your carnage is over history will ruin you and yours for all time, a curse upon your houses.
Calling Transparency corruption really shows your publication is totally corrupt !
Oh, no worries. I am sure they did not do anything wrong so they have nothing to hide. realDonaldTrump
Garbage wapo opeds for days
It’s getting out of control and no one in congress is doing anything scary times
Thanks to a feckless, inconsistent press.
TheirTimeIsUp TheStreetsWillNotBeSafeForThem WeThePeople WWG1WGA
Corrected WaPo Opinion: Washington Post and the mainstream media extend their corruption into colleges. Education has become liberal indoctrination.
Correction - Trump attempting to remove Obama corruption of the intelligence community. Not an easy task.
*CORRECTION*: Obama extended his corruption into the intelligence agencies and the Department of Justice.
Get your facts straight-CORRUPTION- as in mcacbe, Brennan,clapper, strouch & page, Hillary, holder, rice ,Lynch, I challenge and defy your position on the obama administration! The Democrats have attempted to disassemble the country!!
WaPo fraudulent reporting is beyond imagination.
& corruption there was!
Obama was a Marxist masquerading as a Lib who INTENTIONALLY undermined America via Socialism, Globalism, War on Energy, Open Borders, DOD cuts, Soaring Debt, Stoking Racial Unrest, + the Banana Republic tactic of Weaponization of Federal Agencies against political opponents.
Fake fake news
When Bloatus was training Bubba Billy Bob Barr to do his bidding did he use dog treats or donuts?
When your political side is benefiting its OK for the IC to be used against your political enemies, but somehow it’s corruption when the AG and the President act to clean up your mess.
Trump is staring down evil and it is you, darlin, have a nice day and try to stay out of prison🇺🇸🇺🇸
FAKE NEWS.
HIS corruption? Declas is happening....we all know who the corrupt ones are, and you are included. GreatAwakening
More lies and fake Soros news
It is clear the senate is unwilling to perform their oversight responsibilities. They said nothing when 45 declared the press 'enemies of the people' , said nothing when 45 put babies in jails & did not speak out when he diverted funding they allocated for military to his wall.
Opinion, Trump full transparency will show the illegal activities of the left.
Com Post Your paper is a joke🖕
and is getting away with it, too.
Deep State going down.
Are you trying to outdo CNN as the No1 Faked News Mafia- - I mean Media 😂😂😂😂
Corruption? Hasn't every democrat and every media outlet that democrats control been begging for more info and to get to the truth? Course some of us know the truth won't set democrats free and they're still running cover for the Obama administration.
alwaysnegitivetowarfsPOTUS
Odd that the Washington Post sees nothing wrong with intelligence agencies being weaponized to influence an election and disrupt a lawfully elected administration, but see declassifying how they did it as an abuse of power.
Philipashly19 I literally cannot believe you’re still trying to peddle this complete BULLcrap.
'Regime' has Turned American Democracy into DEMO-CRA-ZY! NOBODY is 'Entitled' to Be Above the Law in America! No Trump Transparency! No Trump Accountability! Say, 'No!' To Autocracy & TBA: Take Back America
Like a virus
Are you sure that you are a publication? Washed up post published classified information before now you are fighting against getting the information? Odd 🙄
That what Dictators do
The man is manipulating the country & w/ a slimy AG, anything is possible.
Very worrying. From this side of the pond we're watching with baited breath........
'Extends his corruption into the intelligence agencies' well that is good news for the Nations enemies, Trump really keeps a smile on the face of Comrade Putin, that Man certainly picked a winner in the Donald.
Opinions as news again. Paper sucks.
Russian ties!
WaPo's latest opinion piece 👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽
WaPos opinion means nothing
TrueFactsStated We stop them and they will pay,
Where is the resistance from anyone who an oath to protect the nation and the Constitution? Is it worth to surrender and to obey those who want to use the power of presidency to obstruct justice, to commit corruption, to undermine the national security, and to break the laws?
Y’all sure do put a lot of opinion pieces out. Maybe y’all should just turn into a gossip column instead of a “news” organization. Would probably be a lot cheaper seeing as you all have the exact same opinion. Could really cut down on the overhead.
Excuse me, there has been no corroboration of corruption accusations, thus how can one extend it to the justice department?
Dems logic Classify: cover-up Declassify: cover-up Anyone that doesn’t wanna know why a two-year investigation turned out to be a farce is completely corrupted.
Trump has his puppet, hence his ear to ear smile as he strolls side by side with Two-Bit Barr, his attorney. So American people will be without an A.G. until 2020 elections.
Dumb and dumber
And WAPO are finished... liars
A most chilling article as it suggests that the IC may decide not to answer the directive of the potus. The IC is NOT above or even coequal to the rule if law. This is a singular threat to our Republic if IC is not compliant.
And you extend your thinly veiled bias into everything
You mean the Dems corruption.
TrueFactsStated And they will most likely fold too
Imagine how he would act if he wasn’t totally “Vindicated “ with “No Collusion “
What? Is this the venerable WashPost or National Inquirer
You SHOULD BE VERY SCARED. The media was complicit with treason to oust a President. The former Muslim President will be indicted by spring of 2020. So will 5 others in his administration.
So over the adjectives/ superlatives decorating histrionic opinion pieces, in headlines hoping to 'shock' the folk. Why don't ya just tell people what to think and be done with it. And who is 'toady William Barr'?
Someone doesn't want to be investigated for the agency's part in pushing actual Russian Propaganda from the Kremlin into the FISA courts as the bases to spy on a political opponent's campaign.
We are going heavy on the MK-Ultra here, aren't we.
I hope when it’s all declassified that it goes all the way back to the Clintons. I wanna see them all burn!
Keeping his boss Putin happy.
Himmler or Barr
I TRUST MY ANSWERS.
AngeleStar11 Anyone that could form that opinion after the Mueller report is a dim witted twit. The fact that the Washington Post would print that opinion puts that paper right up there with The National Inquirer.
Congress should stop meeting with Trump when he plans on walking out on them. Trump could easily prison them with a nerve toxin he received from Russia's President Vladimir Putin to eliminate his enemies.
The entire system of classification is at the pleasure of the executive.
CORRECTION: Trump Extends Investigation Into Corrupt Intelligence Agencies
Is that the Masonic hand I see trump doing
Good night folks, Dont forget to tip your arresting officer.
trump extend his tranparent goverment anti corruptions through intelligency agencies
Hopefully opinions like this and others similar thru out the media will give the Admin pause to trying to gaslite America further , and their silly investigation dies a quiet death in oblivion.🤔
Hillarious
LockThemAllUp
Opinion: WAPO is a joke. Wait...that’s a fact
Disgraceful and divisive article. WaPo just publishing absolute trash now-a-days. Cancelling my subscription right now.
He keeps expanding his criminal syndicate
The PUTIN-servile, serial TRAITOR-enabling & justice-OBSTRUCTING GOP are now, effectively, 'in the GETAWAY car” w/ their CRIME boss, Don the CON, defiantly trying to run through 'one legal barricade after another' & eff 'flipping a middle finger' to our 'rule of law' & the Const!
The Compost strikes again. Do you even know how to tell the truth anymore?
two corrupt old fat white men - complicit in sedition & treason
TrueFactsStated The IC better get its shit together and take this tinpot dictator down. The world is waiting.
Does The Washington Post publish anything anymore that isn't anti-Trump opinion?
That is not what the order says. Fake news again. I always thought that transparency was a good thing for the republic. Question: what are you afraid of? The truth? I say release it all.
PublicationsPro Both UK and Australian intelligence services conducted a hostile operation against a US Presidential candidate. They, and their US partners, are rightly panicking about the coming months.
No. Trump is removing the slime like he promised. Why does the media seem just as nervous as democrats about this unless they too were actively involved in disseminating disinformation?
Beginning in 2016, Obama unleashed his intelligence agencies and FBI to spy on President Trump. They used political opposition research, bought and paid for by Hillary Clinton, to illegally obtain FISA warrants. They are all guilty as hell.
SoonToBeFact: Fatass Barr is being Blackmailed. Someone has him on the perverbial Hook. Mock my words.
Correction: Trump extends the investigation into the corruption of the intelligence agencies.
He corrupts everything he touches.
They look like they just kissed each other
Advice for Comey, Brennan, and Clapper. The first one to come clean and admit your illegal activities investigating President Trump typically gets the better plea deal.
Trump intelligence is an oxymoron.
Stupid opinion. You suggest everyone's corrupt. What idiocy. You're one of the many that are harmful. Your readers are the most gullible. Good target for business success, poor moral behavior on you. But who cares, we're only people poisoned by your dark fantasies.
Trump uncovers corruption in the intelligence agencies,...there I corrected it for you!!
Waspost is running scared, Because theyre complicit in helping Steele and Fusion GPS to push Fake Anti Trump news Paid for by the Clinton Campaign
Traitors
Comrade Drumpf surpassing Putins Mandates Create Chaos n Mayhem in US ✔ Create US n THEM atmosphere ✔ Dismantle relationship w/Allies ✔ Sow racism, bigotry n misogny ✔ Use $COTUS to memorialize it ✔ Install Criminals Cabinet in WH ✔ $ubvert Institutions ✔
He will not be happy until we are all bankrupt and /or dead. Our destruction is his only goal in life. realDonaldTrump is a plague upon this earth.
..... potus has that power to declassify and waited for mueller if he reported on origin of its investigation being factual ... Else he was interfering in that ...
