A step in the right direction is still a step in the right direction.

Excellent.

I am hoping they are serious and uncover the culprits.

Barr refused to provide the docs

Which he might do during an active investigation.

So far I’ve been pleased with Barr. Of course after Sessions anyone would seem great.

Barr has been around a long time but I would not classify him as necessarily “establishment”.

You can know the deep state ins and outs, how to manipulate it, how to use it to your advantage without actually being a part of it. My suspicion is that’s how Barr operates.

He appears to be a by the book law and order hard a$$ and puts up with neither sh!t nor shenanigans. We’ll soon see if I’ve got him pegged correctly.

Mueller took two years and he was dragging his feet.

Barr might not drag his feet.

AT MINIMUM anyone involved should be fired.

Start with the bottom rung and they’ll spill the beans on the ones who ordered them to do what.

Give ONE person total immunity- UNLESS he tells one lie.

Why would Barr waste his time giving anything to the worthless wussies in Congress? They will have hearings, talk about stuff, write some strong letters and then hide under the bed as always.

Howie Carr,a great Boston columnist and talk show host,often has Joe DiGenova as a guest on his radio program.Every time he's on Joe mentions a list of people who he believes should be behind bars.

It's really juicy stuff.

But...but...Huber already did that!

No, I am not getting my hopes up.

I don’t believe the DOJ is capable of investigating itself.
The rank and file is full of agenda radicals.

Out of all the circumstances in which an independent counsel with a team of outside investigators is needed, the one circumstance in which one truly is needed is where the DOJ itself is what must be investigated.

Barr cannot both handle the AG responsibilities and run an investigation that has to take on DOJ, the FBI, the CIA, the NSA and the Western intelligence alliance that conspired against a US presidential candidate and then mounted a coup to attempt to unseat him.

Of course, appointing a special counsel who is a loyalist to the DC establishment would be worse than having no independent counsel at all.

And any real investigation that actually prosecutes people is going to extend beyond the 2020 election. If Barr tries to handle it himself, the investigation dies if Trump loses the next election or if Barr no longer is AG for any reason. A special counsel up and running would be more difficult for a GOPe or Dem winner in 2020 to fire.

Anyone watching Hannity?
He’s talking about James Baker’s testimony, and it sounds like it has lit a fuse that’s about to blow up in the Demonrat’s faces!

Do you have some super secret special knowledge about how much Barr can or cannot handle?
