Is Barr’s letting McCabe off a great thing too? Tell us. We would like to know.

Good. Unfortunately, I do think that Trump should have kept his mouth shut, and now Barr is probably going to have to outsource a lot of the more controversial stuff. Trump is great at calling attention to problems but then he should move on, because Barr has been one of his best supporters and it’s unfortunate that he’s been made media-bait.

Barr forgot who is working for, President Trump. Barr has done little indicting the criminals. Something is wrong. Maybe he should take a look at himself and realize he is letting the voters down as well as not prosecuting those that are criminals. Behind the scenes means nothing to us loyal conservatives. Trump has not created the problem with Barr, Barr created his own problem. How many years more does Barr needed.

When Steve Pieczenik warns, as he did today, that Barr is planning a coup against Trump—I pay attention.

Never, ever, ever should he have brought a Bush fixer in to run the DoJ!

Something I’ve long wondered about:

Comey bragged that they wanted to “interview” General Flynn during the chaos of the transition, so he wouldn’t have to go through normal channels.

Did the FBI agents who interrogated General Flynn read him his “Miranda Rights” before-hand? I’m guessing they didn’t tell him that anything he said could be used against him, in order to get him to “open-up.”

That’s something I haven’t heard anything about.

According to the Times, Barr has also tapped outside prosecutors to review other politically sensitive cases

***********

Barr is big on ‘reviews’ because they commit to nothing and lead to nothing.

The man has demonstrated nothing but incompetence and passiveness since becoming the AG.

Meanwhile, confidence in the justice system seems to be probing all time lows. Barr has indeed set a low bar.

Must be because Trump’s tweets make it too hard for him to do his job. /s

What happened to the big talk about how nobody is going to bully him?

You’ve missed a lot of the details of Flynn’s case then. I think Sidney Powell is excellent to follow on twitter or in interviews on tv or radio. Best source of data is her Motions which go through all the facts uncovered in his case. She is an excellent writer. Go to Courtlistener dot com and search on Flynn’s name.

No Miranda read because they did not want him to know he was not only under investigation, but they had gotten a FISA warrant on him probably dating to 2015 or earlier. Obama surveilled him for years.

Under the conditions of the day, an outside entity is the exact right call...keeps the Dems from howling that Barr is Trump’s butt monkey....at least it shows they lie about it......

“Barr created his own problem. How many years more does Barr needed.”

Yesterday Mark Steyn, on Rush’s show, was pretty much saying the same thing. Barr’s “job” is to clean out his entire swamp, but he hasn’t really done that. Steyn asks how much time he needs.
