BARR: Giuliani Is The Latest Victim Of Anti-Trump Prosecutors Exploiting Ambiguous Laws

The indictment and arrest of two U.S. businessmen of East European background is the newest development in the effort to weaken the president by attacking those close to him. In this case, it’s his personal lawyer, former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani.

While there may be some arguable basis on which to charge the businessmen — Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman — with incompetent business transactions, the timing of the indictment — in the middle of the House Intelligence Committee’s impeachment effort against Trump — makes it seem more than just coincidental.

Neither Parnas nor Fruman appears to possess the business acumen such that Trump would bring them into his inner circle of confidence. Their links to the Trump family appear to be nothing more than as political hangers on; and their relationship to Giuliani seem to consist largely of legitimate business dealings. Still, the fact that there are such relationships, no matter how tenuous, has provided ammunition for the media and Democratic Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff to draw direct connections that in less hyper-partisan times would have been considered out of bounds.

Why is it that the Legislature is performing more investigations into matters that the judicial branch? The power grab was done so quietly that we no longer have a three branch system with mutual oversight. We have a one branch system, it's called the boy who cried wolf.

Thanks to Adam Schiff and Jerry Nadler; two that will go down as the most incompetent legislators ever to serve in congress fueled by their animus and disdain for the Trump administration. Their futile attempts are ridiculous and so obviously partisan; they have lost their bearing as chairs of oversight committees and IMO have done irreparable harm to the Democrats.

1:48 Yea and Loretta Lynch shouldn’t have been on a plane with slick willie discussing Hills. But I bet you didn’t have crap to say about that did you? I’ll tell you what I do know. I know you are so blinded by hatred for my President that you can’t see the forest for the trees. Stay blind sheep.
