Hypocrisy is the bedrock of liberalism - Part VXIXII

So the left is having a complete meltdown over the fact that Attorney General William Barr (who has led the Office of Legal Counsel, acted as Deputy Attorney General, and is one of only two men to twice be Attorney General of the United States) believes that is is within his authority to actually run the Department of Justice.

Apparently there is some sort of partisanship involved when the Attorney General actually attempts to set the direction and oversee the Department he is tasked constitutionally to set direction for and to oversee. Or at least this is a problem when the Attorney General is appointed by Donald Trump (aka: Trump derangement syndrome).

This is interesting because if we go back to the previous President and his Attorney General, it was not only accepted, but seen as a good thing that Eric Holder and Loretta Lynch were in place to push the Department of Justice in the direction that President Obama wanted it to go. Because up until a couple of years ago, it was accepted that political appointees might actually act in some sort of political fashion and actually serve the President and work to promote the President's agenda. 

Or as they say... a political appointee might actually serve at the pleasure of the President.

To further solidify this point we must remember that Eric Holder repeatedly suggested to anyone who would listen that he was the President's "wingman" and made no qualms that his job was to push the department in the direction that Obama wanted it pushed to.

This included shutting down political investigations into Democrats, while pushing wild and crazy conspiracy theories that Donald Trump was a Russian asset and that his election victory was because of "the Russians". The list of investigations that were "shut down" by Obama AGs included credible allegations of voter intimidation by groups of Black Panthers, the issues with Fast and Furious, probable illegal payments to Iran (pallets of billions in cash that had no congressional approval), and the entire investigation into the Benghazi terror attacks.   

Ironically it was basically assumed that the DOJ was not going to ever seriously investigate these actions, as there was a feeling back then that the Obama administration was the Obama administration and why would they investigate themselves? 

But Eric Holder didn't stop at just politicizing the Department of Justice (which insiders claim was more politicized than it has been since the Nixon Administration), but they quite literally extended their reach all the way down to city Governments. Several DOJ attacks at local police departments and cities were prevalent, including the entire concept of "police retraining" (to account for systemic racism) that was coerced by the DOJ onto these local governments and police departments with threats of Federal legal action if they didn't comply. 

What is the difference (other than your political beliefs) when the DOJ attempts to influence governments to change their police tactics to make them more lenient versus the DOJ coming into local areas and protecting Federal property or charging United States Citizens with Federal crimes. If the former is acceptable (and it certainly was to most liberals) then the latter is equally acceptable. 

The rules of Government do not change just because liberals don't like who is in charge. You cannot expand Federal powers for Democrats when they run the Federal Government and then work to limit them when a Republican is in charge. That simply isn't the way it works... as much as the left would like it to.

HYPOCRISY can be seen all over this development.

AGAINST THE OBJECTIONS of the CDC (Center for Disease Control) Trump aids insisted on drafting a totally misleading version of their recommendations which would FURTHER THREATEN LIVES.

Now, ONLY UNDER PRESSURE, do they reverse themselves.

THIS WAS A CRIMINAL ATTEMPT TO KOWTOW TO TRUMP.

CDC REVERSES GUIDANCE DRAFTED BY TRUMP AIDES

The CDC reversed its controversial Covid-19 testing guidance on Friday, stating clearly that close contacts without any symptoms “need a test,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

As noted yesterday, the original guidance WAS NOT WRITTEN BY CDC SCIENTISTS and was posted to the agency’s website DESPITE THEIR SERIOUS OBJECTIONS.
_________

Washington Post:
“The guidance posted Friday essentially reverts to the CDC’s original recommendation that ALL PEOPLE who have had close contact with a person with documented coronavirus infection NEED TO BE TESTED.”

BARR GOES ALL-IN FOR TRUMP

“Attorney General William Barr has become one of Donald Trump’s most potent sources of campaign ammunition and political cover less than 50 days before the president faces voters, a most UNconventional role for the nation’s top law enforcement officer,” Bloomberg reports.

“Adding to concern that he’s cast aside any notion of Justice Department independence, Barr has hurled himself and his agency into the middle of the most controversial issues that Trump and his campaign see as vital to winning re-election on Nov. 3.”

YOU BETTER BELIEVE A LOT OF FBI AGENTS ARE NOT HAPPY ABOUT THIS.

You are stupid, pederast

A growing body of research suggests that a significant number of confirmed COVID-19 infections in the U.S. — perhaps as many as 9 out of every 10 — may not be infectious at all, with much of the country's testing equipment possibly picking up mere fragments of the disease rather than full-blown infections.

Confirmed cases of the disease have been the focal point of public health authorities and governments worldwide for many months, with countries across the globe working frantically to shore up their testing infrastructure and ensure that most citizens who want a COVID-19 test can obtain one with relative ease.

Many politicians, meanwhile — including most state governors in the U.S. — have tied reopening policies to the number of cases detected in the local community, with regions and localities often being permitted to reopen in staggered "phases" only when they have reached successively lower benchmarks of average new daily cases in the area.

Numerous institutions, meanwhile, have adopted testing protocols in an attempt to preempt the spread of the virus. American colleges and universities, for instance, have turned to mass testing in order to closely monitor incidences of the disease among students, particularly residential students living on campus.

Yet a burgeoning line of scientific inquiry suggests that many confirmed infections of COVID-19 may actually be just residual traces of the virus itself, a contention that — if true — may suggest both that current high levels of positive viruses are clinically insignificant and that the mitigation measures used to suppress them may be excessive.

HERE'S WHERE CALI GOT HIS INFORMATION:

Just The News - Right Bias - Conservative - Republican - Not CredibleFactual Reporting: Mixed - Not always Credible or Reliable
RIGHT BIAS


These media sources are moderately to strongly biased toward conservative causes through story selection and/or political affiliation. They may utilize strong loaded words (wording that attempts to influence an audience by using appeal to emotion or stereotypes), publish misleading reports and omit reporting of information that may damage conservative causes. Some sources in this category may be untrustworthy. See all Right Bias sources.

Overall, we rate Just the News moderately Right Biased based on story selection that mostly favors a conservative perspective. We also rate them Mixed for factual reporting due to three failed fact checks over a short period of time.

Detailed Report
Factual Reporting: MIXED

John Solomon serves as the Editor-in-Chief. Solomon was formerly a journalist with The Hill, leaving the paper in October 2019. Solomon’s reporting has been described as conspiratorial and pro-Trump.....

Analysis / Bias

In review, Just the News publishes videos, podcasts, and journalism from a conservative perspective. Articles and headlines typically do not utilize emotional language such as this: Trump campaign sues Wisconsin TV station for airing ‘defamatory’ ad.
This story is appropriately sourced to the Washington Post and Priorities.org.
Another properly sourced story that presents with little bias is this:
Pentagon invokes Defense Production Act to make 40 million masks.

Editorially, Just the News does not label opinion content and actually they don’t produce op-eds, however, in examining story selection they routinely favor President Trump such as this:
Trump campaign slaps New York Times with libel suit
while reporting negatively on Democrats such as this:
Cruz decries ‘dangerous’ Schumer threats against justices, seeks censure.
During the CoronaVirus outbreak of 2020, they have published misinformation as seen below in our failed fact checks section. In general, news reporting is not always factual and holds a moderately strong right-leaning bias.

Failed Fact Checks

Virginia’s new method for testing for coronavirus may significantly delay the state’s reopening – Partly False

COVID-19 is close to losing its epidemic status in the U.S., according to the CDC – False

Yale epidemiologist: Dr. Fauci running ‘misinformation campaign’ against hydroxychloroquine – False

It should be noted that John Solomon has been accused by others of promoting false conspiracy theories regarding the Biden’s and Ukraine.

Overall, we rate Just the News moderately Right Biased based on story selection that mostly favors a conservative perspective. We also rate them Mixed for factual reporting due to three failed fact checks over a short period of time. (D. Van Zandt 4/13/2020) Updated (7/31/2020)

Coldheartedtruth Teller said...

Between the lines, Barr is advancing a corrupt and distorted vision of the Department of Justice—one in which it is okay for the attorney general to use his supervisory powers over the department to advantage the president’s cronies. It is a vision that warps traditional understandings of prosecutorial discretion and political accountability and shows no interest in preserving precisely the public legitimacy to which it appeals for support.

As many attorneys general have before, Barr quotes Robert Jackson’s famous 1940 address to the U.S. attorneys to note the dual nature of prosecutorial discretion. Prosecutorial discretion is, of course, essential to justice. This is true at the individual case level, in which mechanical application of the law to all people in all circumstances would itself produce injustice. It is also true at the policy level, where discretion allows for flexible and publicly accountable law enforcement. As we wrote in our book, “Unmaking the Presidency,” prosecutorial discretion:

is what allows the justice system to be nimble, targeting drug cartel crimes in the 1980s and 1990s and shifting to terrorism and internet crimes in the subsequent decade. The law can be slow to change. The political system’s enforcement priorities, by contrast, can shift much more quickly; think of how attitudes toward nonviolent drug offenses have changed over the past decade much faster than the laws on the subject. Prosecutorial discretion allows flexibility even in the absence of legislative change that can be slow and difficult.

Because Trump knew that in a showdown with the scientists, the scientists would win.

It goes through air, Bob. That’s always tougher than the touch. The touch, you don’t have to touch things, right? But the air, you just breathe the air and that’s how it’s passed. And so that’s a very tricky one. That’s a very delicate one. It’s also more deadly than even your strenuous flus. People don’t realize, we lose 25,000, 30,000 people a year here. Who would ever think that, right?

By Jeff Mordock - The Washington Times - Friday, September 18, 2020
The Democratic chairpersons of four key House committees on Friday asked the Justice Department’s internal watchdog to investigate whether U.S. Attorney John Durham’s probe into the Russian collusion investigation is being used for partisan gain ahead of the November election.

In a letter to Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz, the four chairs called for an “emergency” probe into whether Attorney General William P. Barr, who appointed Mr. Durham, could use the controversial investigation to “improperly influence the upcoming presidential election.”


The chairs are also calling for a review of Mr. Durham’s legal authority and whether he was the power “to issue a public report about a subject who has not yet been charged in federal court.”

“Attorney General Barr has signaled repeatedly that he is likely to allow DOJ to take prosecutorial actions, make public disclosures, even issue reports before the presidential election in November,” the Democrats wrote. “Such actions clearly appear intended to benefit President Trump politically.”

Holder never did that
