Obviously, the most important thing is getting POTUS reelected. So that makes Spygate a political matter, too.
Fake News and the Dems would go nuclear if the DOJ was to indict the Democrats criminals. Meanwhile, the Trump hating GOP would be AWOL and leave POTUS exposed to their charges of political prosecutions with no support on his flanks.
Likely we would have had judge and jury nullification given the lack of GOP support. Then head into November with POTUS labeled a fascist and worse.
It’s easy to see why Barr is punting here given all that. That is most charitable way of thinking about it I can think of.

“WASHINGTON—Future investigations involving a U.S. presidential candidate or campaign will have to be approved by the leaders of the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Justice Department, Attorney General William Barr said. “
Brilliant. You mean, someone like FBI Director Comey or AG Holder? Oh, that’ll sure deter future hanky panky./s
Neither do you bert.
There is absolutely nothing happening that would confirm that. There is plenty of information that confirms that Trump has an administration that is openly defiant of his authority.
Wishful thinking is a poor substitute for actions.
Negative thinkers are always right........... or pleasantly surprised.
“...What comes after that will be ugly......
And extremely necessary, and VERY unpleasant. For them.
I thought counter-intel probes had to be signed off by the POTUS. I could be wrong on that point, but that’s where the onus should be placed. They should have the AG, FBI Director and POTUS all sign off on it explicitly. Then there won’t be any doubt, or blame games played. The people will know exactly who to look at if shenanigans occur.
I don’t know if there is any precedent for a counter intel probe of a major party candidate before Trump. We all know what really went down - they had zero evidence, they just made it all up, a lot of it after the fact, to justify political espionage and weaponization of the “17 intelligence agencies”.
While I agree with you in principal he did more than Sessions and more than I expected. Going forward the GOP has to get rid of the Senators and Congress men that are Republicans and part of the Deep State. I am looking at you Romney.
He is a swamp rat.
