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.”

Barr says he does not expect criminal investigation of Obama or Biden as result of Durham probe
People keep leaving off the important part of the quote - Based on what he knows today.
No, they won't. To admit they were wrong about Barr brings down the whole narrative.
They still will believe: Boom! Tick Tock! Pain! Panic in D.C!
Bill.
Nothing ever comes of anything we find on them.
Abuse of power in and of itself is a broad term that can be manipulated by DC Demrats just like when they accused Trump of it during impeachment.
Anyone who thinks that the left won’t pursue criminal charges against Trump the day after he leaves office is crazy.
What’s going to stop them? Prudence? Morals?
If I was Trump I would have a non extradition site ready. It’s just a matter of time.
How do we know the rat 🐀 bastards won’t do that anyway?
We have a problem far more serious than whatever crimes top Obama officials committed during an eight year period.
Namely, the brainwashing of the American people by a subverted media and academia. The political Left has turned our institutions of learning and mass communication into its own propaganda ministry - these institutions no longer serves as the people’s watchdog over potential government tyranny - they have become instruments of that tyranny.
The fact that these Obama coconspirators have escaped prison is an injustice, but not nearly as grave an injustice as the fact that they have escaped all media scrutiny. They haven’t even been asked a single tough question.
I’d love to see Democrats go to jail, but I think we have bigger fish to fry.
Well said.
After a well crafted lead up, Trump should ... for the ‘’good of the country’’ ... pardon Obama.
For those that can, think about it.
“Make the enemy feel you are weak, when you have a strong hand. What is Barr going to say right now? Of course, he’ll play it down. That doesn’t mean things won’t change. Is Brennan going to sit there and take all the blame? Barr is telling the people that are in trouble - your superiors are safe - unless you know something.”
Keep your friends close and your enemies even closer. When hunting a deer, you don’t yell as loud as you can.
Sidney Powell said on FauxNews when Barr was appointed AG that Barr was a Bushee and could not be trusted. She went on to defend Gen. Flynn.
“Prove me wrong by indicting anyone, Bob.”
I hear crickets. Or is that bagpipes?
“Yes, Barr, is looking neutral, as he must.
FOR NOW.
I expect a Boom of some magnitude will follow and then Barr can feign some modest measure of civilian-like shock at the Durham evidence, for warranting charges and indictments.
Nice play, Mr. Barr..”
Barr’s choice of words is interesting, he said “does not expect”, instead of “there will be no” criminal investigation.
More confirmation.
The Joe and Victoria show on Barr has given me bad vibes. They may have been involved in brokering the deal, but they are either clueless or in it deeply themselves.
Third world, like ignoring the Constitution and swearing in an ineligible usurper just because he’s a nice shade of brown?
Obama should never have been in the White House except on a tour.
He is not a natural born citizen.
Pardon Obungo. Hmm, you are right. Done properly (as only DJT can do it), the results could be delicious. And the lefty hysteria too funny to contemplate.
“Others.”
Um, hmm.
I hope he’s doing something besides giving Lindsey Graham more reason to delay. But I don’t expect much.
Doesn’t expect it. But, hey, you never know.
