I have zero doubt that AG Barr will do exactly what he says with regard to enforcing equal justice under the law for all and making every decision based on the rule of law. Principles and honor and reputation do not matter to most of those in DC but it does to him, and that’s why he came back into government service. He is not going to let his entire reputation be tarnished by making politically-motivated indictments. As he says, the way to restore the rule of law is to follow it, not to apply the same crooked tactics the other side used against them.
So that’s what we’re gonna get.
Now there’s an open question as to what can be proven under the criminal statutes and what is just desipicable, politically-motivated, biased conduct by a government official. Those things are not illegal and nobody is going to be convicted of anything unless it’s a violation of law and can be proven. That’s two things we don’t know about today but should be learning more about soon.
Our laws are weak. We’ve known this long before Spygate, it’s why countless felonies have been covered up all the way back to before the Kennedys and why at worst wrong-doers may end up resigning (a political punishment) instead of going to jail (criminal punishment).
I say this because inevitably somone is going to “get off” and people are going to turn against Barr like he’s the devil incarnate. I am saying right now, he will apply the rule of law and that will not always mean people who have done despicable, politically-motivated acts will ever see the inside of a courtroom.
We deserve better, stronger laws. We deserve better congressmen who will enact them, even knowing they personally will be held accountable to them. Hopefully we get them in the future, but Spygate perpetrators are going to be subject to the laws as they are today.

That being said, POTUS implied a concern about what
Barr would eventually do.
Well said.
