Patrick Byrne puts his full faith in Barr and maybe it does become something very explosive. We shall see.
Affair. He’s just showing off. CEO’s are a dime a dozen. Easy to replace and move on.
Is this the ‘John? Jon? he’s talking about?

Head of Justice National Security Division to step down
Assistant Attorney General John Carlin, the longest-serving head of the Justice Department’s National Security Division who has overseen a flurry of high-profile terrorism and cyber espionage cases, will step down next month, officials said.
Mary McCord is set to replace him as acting assistant attorney general on Oct. 15.
Carlin, 43, joined the National Security Division in 2009, only three years after it was established to consolidate the Justice Department’s national security and intelligence functions, and was confirmed as head in 2014.
He has overseen a robust increase in prosecutions for domestic terrorism, including the Boston Marathon bomber, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, and steered the first conviction for attempting to construct a radiological device with the prosecution last year of Glendon Scott Crawford, a member of the Ku Klux Klan found guilty of planning to target unsuspecting Muslim-Americans with lethal doses of radiation.
Attorney General Loretta Lynch praised his pioneering role.
“He oversaw the unprecedented indictment of five members of the Chinese military for cyber-enabled economic espionage and the investigation of the attack on Sony Pictures Entertainment’s computer systems,” she said in a statement. “And he forged crucial collaborations with our partners in the intelligence community, law enforcement and the private sector, enhancing our collective ability to detect and deter threats as they arise.”
