Hunter Biden investigator needs special counsel protections: Barr
Washington Examiner ^ | 8/08/22 | Jerry Dunleavy

Posted on 08/08/2022 5:22:24 PM PDT by Libloather

The prosecutor investigating Hunter Biden needs special counsel protections in the wake of damning whistleblower allegations, former Attorney General Bill Barr says.

Barr made the explosive remarks in the wake of allegations that FBI agents wrongly labeled accurate information about President Joe Biden's son as false.

“I think, probably, it’s time for Merrick Garland to give the current U.S. attorney in Delaware the protections and the authority of the special counsel under the department’s regulations,” Barr told CBS News, adding, “I think, to provide additional assurance and to deal with the appearance of a potential conflict between the administration and the investigation of the president’s son, that it’s time to do that."

"I think Merrick Garland did the right thing when he came in and left the Republican U.S. attorney in Delaware in office to continue the investigation, but there are other components of justice involved in the criminal division that are not under the direct authority of that U.S. attorney, and now, we have questions about - we have whistleblowers coming forward, multiple ones apparently, that raise questions about some of the FBI’s role in that case.”

The former Trump attorney general added, “I think there has to be some assurance that this thing is going to be pursued, as he [Garland] likes to say, without fear or favor.”

What was the deadline for (I think) the FBI to turn over the Hunter Biden laptop documents?

Bill Barr can STFU. That fat ass piece of excrement should never have a voice in anything.

If Barr is involved, this is a fraudulent waste of time and money. Boy Biden is a god to most people living in this country.
