Barr asks US attorney to further investigate 'unmasking' in 2016
The Hill ^ | 05 27 2020 | Rebecca Klar

Attorney General William Barr has asked a U.S. attorney to look into the practice of “unmasking” before and after the 2016 presidential election, a spokesperson for the Justice Department said Wednesday on Fox News’s “Hannity.”

Justice Department spokesperson Kerri Kupec said Barr has asked U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Texas John Bash to review the “unmasking.”

"Unmasking inherently isn't wrong, but certainly, the frequency, the motivation and the reasoning behind unmasking can be problematic, and when you're looking at unmasking as part of a broader investigation – like John Durham's investigation – looking specifically at who was unmasking whom, can add a lot to our understanding about motivation and big picture events," Kupec said on “Hannity.”

Barr tapped Durham to oversee an investigation into the FBI’s decision making in the Russia probe.

Kupec said Durham was looking into the “unmasking,” but told Fox News that Barr determined certain aspects of the practice needed further review and assigned Bash.

President Trump has suggested Obama administration officials were involved in criminal wrongdoing in connection with the FBI’s investigation into Russian interference. Trump encouraged investigations into former President Obama and other officials from the Obama administration.

Durham has made one Indictment.

A member of the public remotely threatening Adam Schiff.

No remote threats of Trump pursued.

You read that correctly.

Durham isn’t pressuring and flipping - which is part and parcel.

No movement this deep (in time elapsed) is not a good sign.

We already know the unmasking of Trump officials was illegal and carries serious felony charges. Why not start handing out indictments?

I think its clear Barr never intends to prosecute any of the deep state criminals, so in a nutshell the rule of law is gone. America cannot survive under this level of corruption. The President in my opinion must order the AG to enforce the law or replace him.

I thought unmasking is legal. It’s the leaking of the calls that are illegal.

Nothing like a Texas Grand Jury to see through the BS and indict. There’s also nothing like a Texas jury to hang these seditious ba$tards.

You sure know a lot. Do you work for the DOJ?

That's a pretty ignorant thing to say.

You THINK its CLEAR?

Maybe your thinker's broke, cause it ain't 'clear'.

One of my big suspicions is that Obama was the one using Samantha Power’s name to unmask.
Unfortunately, I have very little hope the world will ever know the true story of Obama’s spygate.

History is always written by the winners. Who writes the history being taught to the next generation of voters? The students of today will be responsible for preserving liberty in the future. Or not. Their decisions will be based on what they know.

Barr is and has always been Deep State. Remember Randy Weaver.....who had his wife shot and killed while holding a baby? Also Weaver’s young son was murdered.
Do some studying of that atrocity. You’ll meet none other than AG Barr.

“Western District of Texas”?

Is there any nexus to Texas?

It would have a more favorable jury pool than DC.

Really.

Ok tell me what I'm missing? Is it some of these recent headlines?

The Justice Department is dropping its investigations into controversial stock trades made by Sens. Kelly Loeffler, Dianne Feinstein and Jim Inhofe in the early stages of the coronavirus pandemic, their offices confirmed Tuesday.

Or maybe

Here's what you're missing.

Each case and set of evidence is different than the other. Nothing you cited makes it 'clear Barr never intends to prosecute any of the deep state criminals'.

You are writing out of pure emotion. If you use logic and reason, you will discover that what you said is very dumb.

You are projecting a bit. You are the one writing out of emotion. My post is based in logic and fact. I gave just two examples of evidence Barr is not going to prosecute obama criminals but I could give many many more. I asked what makes you think otherwise and you have no response other than to claim my post is dumb so it looks like you can’t point to any tangible fact that indicates we will see indictments.
