I was so disappointed to hear DiGenova say Barr is not inclined to make “political” prosecutions, his focus is to restore confidence in the system and process.
If this is how Barr is viewing this, then God help us. I can’t see how America will ever be restored if they get away with all that they did.
I do not believe DiGenova. The only way to restore confidence in the justice system is by arresting the criminals, bringing to trial, and issuing proper sentencing to those judge guilty.
Trump knows this. I seriously doubt Barr thinks otherwise, and I’ve made a point to listen to him when I can.
Unless DiGenova actually heard Barr say these precise words, I do not believe it. Even then I want to hear in context and that his plan is to let them off the hook.

I’ve only used the terms “political prosecution” to identify prosecutions conducted for political reasons instead of justice. Michael Flynn would be, in my book, a political prosecution - done to tar a political party and POTUS but not for legitimate reasons.
So Barr’s focus on restoring confidence in the system makes sense to me, and it’s why things are taking so long. WHile the good guys must have heard about crimes committed, they aren’t going to act on those assertions without all the legal back and forth such cases NORMALLY receive. They know things they technically “can’t know” so they wait for it to make it’s way into the legal system without expediting it because it would be cast as a “rush to judgement”, “kangaroo court” or political prosecution instead of lawful accountability.
Political prosecutions are wrong no matter who's doing them. General Flynn's prosecution is a politcal prosecution...ditto for Papadopolous, Gates and Manafort.
If there were real crimes committed in the whole 'spygate' fiasco (and there were) they will be pursued. That's the only way Barr will be able to restore ANY semblence of public confidence in the DOJ, FBI, CIA and State Dept. In fact I think it's already too late to restore any confidence in the FBI or CIA. I think they should get about the business of prosecuting the cabal that ran those insidious institutions and then shut them down.
I trust the plan.
