I felt the earth quake all the way out here in Oklahoma. Why, I bet they felt it in D.C., too!

He didn’t SAY he’d let Mueller slide. His language in soft-pedalling Mueller’s “coaching” the Rats on how they might, and should impeach Trump, told ME that he was greasing the skids to let his 30 year besty “Bob” slide. MY question: If Durham gets the goods on Mueller’s 50 year trail of criminal lawlessness as a prosecutor; what will Barr do to or for his 30 year chum “Bob” THEN?

Stunning. I want to know who recommended him to POTUS. I am finally hopeful that this won’t get swept away

what a sleazy excuse for a journalist
Anyway - I am intrigued by this statement by AG Barr
[WILLIAM BARR: Well I don’t want to get you know, too much into the facts because it’s still under review. But I think it’s important to understand what basis there was for launching counterintelligence activities against a political campaign, which is the core of our second amendment- I’m sorry, the core of our first amendment liberties in this country. And what was the predicate for it?]

See that?! - at first he said “second amendment”, then he immediately changed it to “first amendment”. It is really weird what happens in your mind. I guess we need a pseudo-analyst to explain what he meant.

I pray that I am. Nothing would please me more than for him to come through this and clean it up like Gangbusters.

Sessions did his part. Now Barr will do his, building on what Sessions/Rosenstein began. It’s all a team effort.

JAN CRAWFORD: Um, what’s the status of Huber’s investigation in Utah? I think the former Attorney General Sessions had asked him to look at this.

WILLIAM BARR: Right, so Huber had originally been asked to take a look at the FISA applications and the electronic surveillance but then he stood back and put that on hold while the Office of Inspector General was conducting its review, which would’ve been normal for the department. And he was essentially on standby in case Mr. Horowitz referred a matter to him to be handled criminally. So he has not been active on this front in recent months and so Durham is taking over that role. The other issues he’s been working on relate to Hillary Clinton. Those are winding down and hopefully we’ll be in a position to bring those to fruition.

Do you agree with that interpretation that that legal opinion prevented him from making a conclusion?
WILLIAM BARR: I am not sure he said it prevented him. I think what he said was he took that into account plus a number of other prudential judgments about fairness and other things and decided that the best course was not for him to reach a decision. I personally felt he could've reached a decision but--

What I think many people find hard to understand is that Barr is saying Mueller could have concluded in his report that Trump had engaged in criminal activity if he believed the evidence supported that. Fake news outlets are claiming that Mueller would have concluded that Trump was guilty of obstruction if DOJ policy had allowed him to do so.
