Attorney General William P. Barr reiterated this week that he will not wait until after November’s election to release whatever U.S. Attorney John Durham finds in his examination of the FBI’s 2016 investigation into President Trump’s campaign, raising fears among Democrats that Barr and Durham could upend the presidential race with a late revelation.
Republicans have been eagerly awaiting Durham’s findings - hopeful that the prosecutor Barr handpicked last year to investigate the investigation of possible coordination between Trump’s 2016 campaign and Russia will validate their fierce criticisms of the bureau. Democrats, meanwhile, have worried that the Connecticut U.S. attorney is aiding a political stunt designed to undercut an investigation that dogged Trump’s presidency.
As the election draws near - and much of what Durham is doing remains a mystery - both sides have grown increasingly anxious, with liberals fretting over an October surprise, and Republicans wondering whether Durham’s work could push into the next administration.
Barr has repeatedly and stridently attacked the Russia investigation - saying that what happened to Trump was “one of the greatest travesties in American history” - while hinting vaguely that he is “troubled” by what he knows Durham has found. That has drawn accusations from Democrats and legal analysts that he is inappropriately talking about an ongoing case and prejudging its outcome.

I have the same thought--Perhaps the bullying he underwent at the hands of Nadler & Co. will make him angry enough to put down the bag pipes and take some action.
No wonder he was so calm during the Ritual Denunciation.
No, Durham is not just “writing a report.” He is a prosecutor, gathering evidence with which to bring criminal indictments.
He knows what Durham has found democrats scramble as body counts ensue for indictments.
They can’t play let’s make a deal this round.
Should I have used /sarcasm instead?
Unless any of this results in indictments, then its nothing but political theater. Barr better come up with indictments with real evidence.
I am praying that justice will be done. But knowing how men behave, I only have faith in God, not men.
Sorry I didn’t catch it at first. Current events are getting so weird it’s increasingly difficult to separate fact from fiction or sarcasm.
