Attorney General Bill Barr said Monday he does not expect U.S. Attorney John Durham’s review into the origins of the Russia probe will lead to a “criminal investigation” of either former President Barack Obama or former Vice President Joe Biden -- while noting that their concern of “potential criminality” in the conduct of that probe is “focused on others.”
Barr, during a press conference otherwise focused on the December 2019 shooting at Naval Air Station Pensacola, spoke at length about the Durham investigation. He said he has a “general idea” of how the investigation is going and confirmed that “some aspects are being investigated as potential crimes.”
Barr did say, however, that “not every abuse of power, no matter how outrageous, is necessarily a federal crime.”
“As for President Obama and Vice President Biden, whatever their level of involvement based on what I know, I don’t expect Durham’s work will lead to a criminal investigation of either man,” Barr said. “Our concern of potential criminality is focused on others.”

Obama should have been impeached then jailed for the Fast and Furious caper.
Joe Biden has promised to punish Trump.
Good point. As I understand it Obama was willingly using Hillary's private Email for secured documents. Which was the reason Hillary didn't go to jail. If Hillary was guilty so was Obama. They didn't want to throw an ex-president into jail.
The Dossier is different. They can separate Obama from this.
Of course you are wise and measured with your observations but I am cynical, impatient, and getting older.
You’re funny. So cute.
Expectedly unexpected.
...as long as this will go down as the greatest head fake ever.
p.s. That means Trump can do the same to Biden/whoever and it’s perfectly acceptable (even though they impeached him for less).
Of course you are wise and measured with your observations but I am cynical, impatient, and getting older.
I am there too. I am very angry about it and I want justice.
However, for someone who has watched what Barr has said about this he took a grade A dump all over the witchhunt today.
That is as good a starting point as any I suppose.
Hillary would take Obama with her. Then it would be an open case about them.
That’s from Durham. Could have already been investigated. Maybe they don’t need to do anything further and they have enough to give ‘em the chair.
Exactly. The next term will see heads roll.....
Bagpipe Bob sounds like he busy BLOWING SMOKE UP AMERICA’S A$$!
Whatever you're smokin' there roll me one!
I think Brennan masterminded some of this sh*t and had his Muzzie hands in a lot of the crimes against Trump and America. Comey too, chronic liar and a cheat. Both of them DIRT. BOTH guilty of high treason and they should ROT in prison for it.
NOTHING will happen to any of them.
Mustn’t disturb that plug holding the swamp in place.
Nope. What you are doing is setting the precedent that a president can break laws and never have to answer to justice.
Where do you think that will lead? Appeasement never works.
Nobody should be above the law. Especially the most powerful person in the country.
I grew up believing that an "Abuse Of Power" was a crime, federal or not. I'm all for Congress NOT passing anymore stupid laws, but I think it should be a Federal Crime. We'll see how this all plays out.
