Even today, they’re afraid to investigate the history of president #44 for fear of exposing the truth. That would be disastrous.
How do you know “they” are not investigating Hussein right now? Are you one of “them” and you know “they” are doing nothing?
I have thought for some time that that is likely a factor. Temperamentally, Barr strikes me as the kind of guy who is likely to plow straight ahead and let the chips fall where they may. But he will be very, very certain to have his case locked down before he moves. And he's running out of time.
