By his persistence, afan has tried to turn any discussion in this thread about the Biden's malfeasance into a massive deflection & diversion.
Pay no attention to the volume of incriminating stuff that keeps coming out about the Biden's now that laptop has been authenticated.
Nope. Ane the rest of the forum knows it...which is why they're making fun of you, and not me.
All I'm doing is reporting what the timeline was as reported by the Whistleblowers. You know, the guys that you and TeamTinFoil believe.
Unllke you, I actually read their opening statement, and listened to what they said without bias. You, as you have told me, are a partisan....so you cherry picked what you heard. Which is your right, and I respect that right.
However, for the rest of us that aren't in the bag for the Republican party:
-the WB"s are generally speaking alleging political interference. However, unlike FoxNation, they don't claim it came from Dems. They claim the whole mess started under the Trump regime, by Trump's handpicked employees.
-the WB's biggest complaint, by far, was that Bill Barr stepped in, and moved the investigation to DC, pulling power away from the IRS. This had NEVER happened before in the WB's entire career. This was clearly a political move, for good or ill. The freaking US Attorney General doesn't step in unless it's the VP's kid. Duh. Even TeamTinFoil admits that this is unusual.
-this is where allllll the delays started. Normally? These IRS pull their own warrants and build their own case with no one in their way. Gee, ya think putting a bunch of lawyers in their way slowed things down?
Of course it did. Hence their complaints...they've never dealt with the DoJ stepping in and
-Barr personally----PERSONALLY----put Weiss in charge. Old Salt can add all the opinions he wants, that's fine. But the FACT is that Bill Barr is the one who put Weiss in charge. Had Barr left the IRS agents to do their jobs? Weiss, have never been involved. This is a FACT, not an opinion.
In summary, all I'm doing is reporting what the WB's said, without opinion. The WB's told Congress that they were angry Barr stepped in and put a bunch of lawyers in their way. Who wouldn't be? Don't blame them, to be honest. They detail each time a lawyer slowed things down, or didn't do what the IRS agents wanted. This is the IRS agents opinion, of course. Maybe Barr and Weiss had good reasons to step in...I have no clue, I'm not a lawyer.s
The part TeamTInFoil wants everyone to ignore are the facts that the WB"s laid out:
1. that the big complaint was that Barr stepped in and took the IRS agents power away, and gave it to Weiss. Now everything had to run through Weiss. This is the foundation for alllll the WB"s future complaints. Had Barr left things alone, and treated this like a normal tax case? Weiss would NEVER have been put in charge, and the IRS would have executed warrants internally with no DoJ involvement, as per normal. This is a FACT, not an opinion.
2. that everyone involved at the top management level (the decision-makers) is not just a Republican, but also a Trump appointee. This means Barr, Weiss, Rettig (IRS) and Wray (FBI). So if there's a conspiracy to slow down the investigation, it's on Trump appointees. This is a FACT, not an opinion.
3. that the WB's said that Bill Barr stepping in had never happened before in their career. The IRS is left to do their jobs without DoJ interference in every other tax case they've ever been involved in. THAT is their complaint. Again, this is a FACT, not an opinion.
FoxNation takes all of the above, ignores EVERYTHING the the WB's complained about, and spins it into "the Dems did this"...because that's what they're paid to do. And TeamTinFoil laps it up, because that's THEIR job in this mess: "Dems are bad, R's are good".
Which is why GGait, TLD, and others are laughing their *sses off. Because by the WB"s own testimony,
they're complaining about Trump appointees stepping in and derailing the IRS from doing their job.
These are FACTS, not opinions. The WhistleBlower transcripts are there for all to read.
