Stolen Valor thief Blumenthal slams Barr for 'unfounded, irresponsible claims' of spying

I cannot emphasize enough my distaste for people who claim to be war heroes. Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) is one such lying piece of trash.


On Wednesday, Blumenthal hypocritically attacked U.S. Attorney General
William Barr, moralizing that Barr “must retract his unfounded, irresponsible claim that American law enforcement ‘spied’ on the Trump Campaign.” At least Trump didn't claim to be a Vietnam veteran.

The phony senator went on, “As Barr admitted, there is absolutely no evidence that our nation’s own law enforcement officers did anything unlawful during their investigation into Russian meddling in our democracy. To recklessly suggest otherwise is deeply offensive.”

It's quite clear that the left has lost interest in pursuing the origins of the spying in 2016 and they are running scared and attacking Barr, who is simply telling the truth: spying took place beginning with Carter Page, and all we want to do is get to the bottom of it.

Blumenthal, who should have had the insight to keep his lying mouth shut, instead said:

“I’m deeply disappointed AG Barr has so demeaned himself & DOJ by carelessly acting as a mouthpiece for Trump’s conspiracy theories. This language has a real, measurable impact on the lives & safety of our men & women in law enforcement. He owes them a retraction & an apology.”

Sean Davis of The Federalist noted:

“Are you referring to foreign spy and dossier author Christopher Steele, who was funded by Hillary and the DNC? Because he worked on behalf of a sanctioned Russian oligarch and colluded with Kremlin officials during the campaign.”

Brit Hume of Fox News also replied:

“This is the last man on earth who ought to be complaining about unfounded and irresponsible claims given his innumerable such claims about Trump and Russia collusion.”

Hume graciously didn't mention Blumenthal's Vietnam war claims.

In February 2017, Fox News outlined Blumenthal’s shady record concerning his Vietnam claims, reporting:

Blumenthal received five deferments, from 1965-1970, before enlisting in the Marine Corps Reserve, though he was never sent out of the U.S. During his six years in the Reserve, Blumenthal was stationed in Washington, focusing on a slew of local projects, such as a Toys for Tots drive. During his political career, however, Blumenthal frequently walked a precarious line, often framing his service just ambiguously enough to give the impression that he had spent time fighting in Vietnam.

“I served during the Vietnam era,” Blumenthal said in 2008. “I remember the taunts, the insults, sometimes even physical abuse.” He told a gathering of families who were expressing support for returning American troops in 2003 that, “when we returned, we saw nothing like this.” Blumenthal, however, crossed the line with stolen valor when speaking to a group of veterans in March 2008: “We have learned something important since the days that I served in Vietnam,” he said.

In May 2017, Blumenthal stated on CNN’s 'New Day':

"What we have now is really a looming constitutional crisis that is deadly serious because there is an investigation ongoing. Ultimately, there may be subpoenas to the President of the United States, just as occurred in 1973 precipitating United States versus Nixon and a similar firing of a special prosecutor. So what's needed now is, in fact, an independent counsel and special prosecutor."

President Trump fired back on Twitter:

"Watching Senator Richard Blumenthal speak of Comey is a joke. ‘Richie’ devised one of the greatest military frauds in U.S. history. For years, as a pol in Connecticut, Blumenthal would talk of his great bravery and conquests in Vietnam — except he was never there. When caught, he cried like a baby and begged for forgiveness, and now he is judge & jury. He should be the one who is investigated for his acts."

Trump tends to speak in exaggerated hyperbole, but he's correct about "Richie." The fact that Blumenthal is a respected mouthpiece for the left should tell you everything you need to know about the left. When you see their mouths move, you know they're lying.
