Does this mean that Barr is passing the buck to cover up, or that he’s serious about indicting all the wrongdoing we’ve known about for over two years?
I’ll take “passing the buck for $1000, Alex”.
--------------
"Known about" and indicting someone for a crime are two different things. As it should be.
Bill Barr has a lot of irons in the fire and would never lead the investigation himself. He will deligate that job with I suspect some close and periodic oversight. As a US Attorney he has many tools in his bag including forming a grand jury, authorizing investigations, issuing subpoenas to testify and petitioning courts for warrants of all kinds.
Based on the links posted here, this guy sounds like a tough customer and just what Barr needs in charge of this task. We'll see.
