Occam answers this.

Swamp creatures protect their own?

And here I thought Barr was all talk and no action. Apparently on these items mentioned in the article, he even lacks the talk.

Both Wray and Barr have destroyed any sense of confidence in their respective departments. Terrible leadership.

Its clear that they serve masters other than the American people. Trump will have to settle some ‘family business’ after the election.

‘Cuz ultimately, Barr is a swamp creature himself.
He might not be gator or a water moccasin, but he’s still a frog or crayfish, and at home in the muck. He’s not going to help drain the swamp, just to make a better place in it for himself.

Barr’s job is to keep Trump from killing the Deep State. Barr’s job is also to keep the Deep State from killing Trump. He is succeeding rather admirably in this job - though his mission is not in the long-term best interest of the Republic.

My guess is that Senate Republicans have warned, urged, and begged Trump not to roil the waters on these issues before the election or control of the Senate will be lost.

Barr is a walking hot air bag, just like his bagpipes.

It may be that Trump and crew know they will be re elected and will take the house and keep the senate. Their political strength will be much stronger then. Also, the case is building and getting stronger against the swamp daily. An example of that being the Biden laptop, which the Trump team has kept secret from even us for well over a year. There is more going on than meets our eyes so far.

That is my optimistic/hopeful synopsis. You don’t wanna hear my pessimistic whiney synopsis probably...

I imagine Wray will be gone the moment the election is certified.

Simple. Wray is doing the dirty work while Barr is the public face that pretends to be so very upset with everything to give Wray air cover to get the job done.

Correct except the GOP Senate deal with Barr and not President Trump. There was a tidbit awhile back about Graham talking to Barr. Trump has very little to no control of the DOJ.

I think you’re exactly right. He has taken on this weird role as defending the deep state and Trump from each other.

Both Barr and Wray are designated flak catchers. The real criminals operate anonymously below them.

“The President has the authority to appoint his own Special Counsel (28 C.F.R. Part 600). He is not required to wait for AG Barr to act.”

Paging Donald Trump. You can do more than just tweet.

I will also say that if Durham doesn’t have a pile of indictments ready to hit the street November 4, that Barr is on borrowed time. Trump likes Barr and has given him the benefit of the doubt. But Trump knows they had the laptop during his impeachment. Heads are going to roll.

Hope you're right, about indictments hitting after the election.

Possibly. I'm under the impression the FBI didn't investigate with any enthusiasm after getting the laptop.
