Barr dismissed that idea
“DOJ policy restricts politically charged indictments from occurring within 60 days of an election, or something to that effect.”
saying neither presidential candidate was the object of an investigation.
True. Barr did say that neither presidential candidate was the object of an investigation. But indictments of lower level people from the previous administration might still be viewed as politically charged. My guess is they would still try to comply with the 60 day rule to avoid the accusation of election meddling - not that it will stop the dems from trying to make the argument anyway.
