AG Barr won't recuse himself from Mueller probe
The Hill ^ | 3/04/19 | Brett Samuels

Attorney General William Barr will not recuse himself from overseeing the special counsel investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election, the Department of Justice (DOJ) said Monday.

DOJ spokeswoman Kerri Kupec said in a statement that senior career ethics officials advised Barr that he should not recuse himself from oversight of Robert Mueller's probe.

"Consistent with that advice, General Barr has decided not to recuse," Kupec said.

Barr's views in support of executive power and his refusal to commit to publicly releasing the full report at the conclusion of Mueller's investigation also contributed to Democratic opposition to his appointment.

Very true, all Sessions did was obsess about weed, that’s pretty much it

... senior career ethics officials advised Barr that he should not recuse himself from oversight of Robert Mueller's probe.

As I recall Sessions got the same advice from the same people.

What in the world does he have to recuse himself from?

I’m hoping he goes medieval on the illegally obtained FISA warrant and the election interference of the 0bama administration, the Hillary campaign, the DNC, FBI and CIA leadership, INCLUDING Mueller.

I've always thought the Rats had something on Sessions and they had his balls squeezed tightly in an iron grip.

“AG Barr won’t recuse himself from Mueller probe”

And unfortunately he won’t do anything else either one way or another...at least at this point.

Barr got a lot of criticism here when he was appointed, but he had one attribute that was probably the single most important thing when Trump nominated him: He has long been a strong advocate of an Executive Branch of the U.S. government that would operate with no interference from Congress except for funding and Senate confirmations.

The "investigation" will now shift to the House, and the vile Schiff and Nadler.

Because, they know the Mueller witch hunt is almost at an end.

But that isn't good enough. Mueller is guilty from Uranium 1 and God knows what else. He should be held accountable for what was an act of Treason. His unethical, and putrid henchman Andrew Weissmann should be thrown in prison for the rest of his miserable life to pay for all the lives he has ruined over the last 30 years.
