Or, perhaps both of us are not properly processing what we do know. For instance I can postulate that Barr’s behavior could be understood if you consider if he were to start the ball rolling on arresting the coup conspirators the resulting damage to the Democrat Party would effectively make the USA a one party system for two generations. Maybe the reason he is letting Comey and the rest off isn’t because he loves them so much but he just doesn’t want to be the one history records as the “guy who brought the house down.” So at the same time he doesn’t want to let them get away with everything and do the same damage to the GOP.
Not saying this is what is happening but it does seem to explain a lot of facts.
I have concluded that the President knows that is either us or them.
He has directed his administration to eliminate them
The action will take place at the time and circumstances of his choosing.
The concept of parties is obsolete. There are Americans and Euro wannabe’s
Obviously, the most important thing is getting POTUS reelected. So that makes Spygate a political matter, too.
Fake News and the Dems would go nuclear if the DOJ was to indict the Democrats criminals. Meanwhile, the Trump hating GOP would be AWOL and leave POTUS exposed to their charges of political prosecutions with no support on his flanks.
Likely we would have had judge and jury nullification given the lack of GOP support. Then head into November with POTUS labeled a fascist and worse.
It’s easy to see why Barr is punting here given all that. That is most charitable way of thinking about it I can think of.
