Two observations: 1) Barr must seriously be over the target as you can see the desperation of the Democrats in wratcheting up the impeachment, 2) Barr is not stupid. He sees the pressure and is getting his house in order. I suspect when he does drop the hammer, the announcements will be rapid and in force, in order to keep the perps off balance.
I don’t see any desperation in Democrats. They are rolling out a carefully planned psywar campaign. They live for this stuff, unfortunately.
I don’t mean to keep harping on this but the CIA’s White House spy whistleblower flim flam was validated in 14 days by the IC IG. Show me anything significant in Barr’s tenure that has been done in two weeks. You can’t.
I see much desperation in the dems - they are violating too many of their own (new) rules to be in anything but an indecent hurry.
As for the 14 day “validation” versus the time to amass a well founded case based on actual evidence, this is where the aphorism about a lie being halfway around the world before the truth gets its pants on comes from. We have become accustomed to seeing AGs (on the dem side, at least) that act quickly and precipitously, leaking like a sieve, because their actions are predetermined and unrelated to the actual facts. We know that Sessions did nothing to accumulate actual facts, and Rosenstein’s work cannot be trusted (even “the” and “and” were likely lies).
Bill Barr has been AG since only February. For such a complex and widespread investigation, aimed at so many people with varying amounts of power, I cannot say that the elapsed time is inordinate. My patience is far from infinite, but realism dictates that time be allowed to actually follow the rules in assembling the case.
Many of us have been “investigating” this subject for the entirety of President Trump’s tenure. We have been reading news, and speculation, and even wild speculation that both has and has not been close to the apparent truth. The AG does not have the luxury of speculating publicly.
At least, a *real* AG doesn’t, unlike Holder or Lynch.
