pgkdan: That as far as he knows nobody facing indictment is running for President. Everybody else is fair game.
Barr: AS TO PRESIDENT OBAMA AND VICE PRESIDENT BIDEN WHATEVER THE LEVEL OF INVOLVEMENT BASED ON THE INFORMATION I HAVE, I DO NOT EXPECT MR. DURHAM’S WORK WILL LEAD TO A CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION OF EITHER MAN. OUR CONCERN OVER POTENTIAL CRIMINALITY IS FOCUSED ON OTHERS.
Bagster: Barr seems to be saying that neither Obama or Biden are facing criminal investigation BASED ON INFORMATION HE HAS and due to the 'tit for tat' nature of any potential charges, along with it being an election year.
It troubles me that he calls ABUSE OF POWER not necessarily criminal.
The good news is, his CONCERN FOR CRIMINALITY is FOCUSED ON OTHERS.
My preliminary analysis:
Barr is trying to dampen the heat by 'clearing' Biden and Obama of any potential. That is a purely political statement, and not one grounded in the law.
He leaves the door wide open for criminal charges against OTHERS. You will notice he didn't name Hillary in his short list.
This is also in keeping with Q's CHESS ANALOGY of a few days ago. You don't attack the KING until the middle to the end of the game.
If I read Barr correctly, given all of this, there will be indictments, and plenty of them. He already knows.
