More interesting comments from the complete transcript:
JAN CRAWFORD: What suggests to you there was a failure in the upper echelon at the FBI?
WILLIAM BARR: Because I think the activities were undertaken by a small group at the top which is one of the- probably one of the mistakes that has been made instead of running this as a normal bureau investigation or counterintelligence investigation. It was done by the executives at the senior level. Out of head quarters—
JAN CRAWFORD: And you’re talking about James Comey, McCabe?
WILLIAM BARR: I’m just not going to get into the individual names at this point. But I just view that- I don’t view it as a bureau wide issue. And I will say the same thing for other intelligence agencies. And they’re being very cooperative in helping us.
JAN CRAWFORD: They’re being cooperative?
WILLIAM BARR: Yes.
He said the other issues HUBER was working on relate to Hillary.
“Investigating”.
I don’t imagine Mr. Huber will refund the U.S. taxpayer funds he has not earned.
Durham is investigating Hillary; Hillary should be very worried.
let’s roll before she dies of old age and so will I
Excellent.
The Huber Hillary stuff is "winding down"? Was it ever in full swing?
How many prosecutions came from that?
WILLIAM BARR: Well, we live in a hyper-partisan age where people no longer really pay attention to the substance of what's said but as to who says it and what side they're on and what it's political ramifications are. The Department of Justice is all about the law, and the facts and the substance and I'm going to make the decisions based on the law and the facts and I realize that's intention with the political climate we live in because people are more interested in getting their way politically. so I think it just goes with the territory of being the attorney general in a hyper-partisan period of time.
Huber and Horowitz sound like complete frauds and I don’t expect we’ll get anything out of them. Huber, in particular, seems to have accomplished absolutely nothing. Reading between the lines, Barr has the same feeling about Huber. In Durham I have more hope.
Any excuse to drag it out and hope it goes away.
just start arresting people please... there’s dozens of people who can be nailed dead to rights with just what is in the public domain already
Don't ever forget how evil these people are.
They will kill lots of people before they go down.
Who cares about Huber... no one with sense even took him seriously.
This interview gives a good feel of where Barr is coming from (heading to). He spent 50 years working in these agencies, and he has deep loyalties... but he's righteously pissed off at what they did to Trump (and us). I think he wants to fix the problem, and he will somehow... but still protect some of his longtime friends (Mueller - 30 years).
I hope he can see it through, however long it might take.
Interesting choice of words since prosecutors and investigators aren't really in the business of finding people not guilty.
It'd be sweet to see Mrs Clinton indicted for something like fraud, embezzlement, a RICO beef.
Dream on, I know but if his offices gets her indicted by a GJ, it's not going to be for being drunk in public - it might be something serious.
“And he was essentially on standby in case Mr. Horowitz referred a matter to him to be handled criminally”
Anyone indicated?, didn’t think so. In other words no one will be held accountable. Shocking. Maybe Barr will change that, or not.
“ Durham is investigating the FBI and will pursue once Horowitz completes”
I guess that means that Horowitz will slow walk this as long as he can to delay Dunham. I have as much confidence in Horowitz as in Sessions.
The Clinton Crime Family SLUSH FUND is where ALL DIRTY MONEY goes to LIVE!
“Protecting sources and methods”
Isn’t that the point here? Sources and methods were criminal. No need to protect. Expose!
