FBI Director Christopher Wray works for Barr.
The org chart has Dir FBI reporting to DAG (Rosen), who reports to AG (Barr).
Rosen should be put on the spot, too, maybe more than Barr.
As soon as Trump wins, he will act to appoint a Special Council. And it won’t be ANYONE from DC! He needs an INVESTIGATOR, not a damn lawyer!
We don’t know.
But that’s a short column...
The President has the authority to appoint his own Special Counsel (28 C.F.R. Part 600)
Read the regulation ... 28 CFR 600.1 - Grounds for appointing a Special Counsel
Under this regulation, POTUS can order AG to appoint, and fire AG if AG doesn't.
Not saying POTUS can't directly appoint, but that action is not what the regulation spells out.
“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.”
FR really needs a like button.
I don’t know I’m right. I can’t help but suspect the FBI has sat on the laptop, not just to injure Trump, but to hold as leverage over President Biden. I’m just saying Trump must want payback at this point. If Barr can’t point to serious indictments after the election, he will be gone too. Trump knows they sandbagged him.
Difference without distinction. The FBI is a minor bureau inside the DOJ, which answers to Barr.
Barr talks a good game...talks.
“Why Does Barr Let Wray Lie and Flout the Law?”
Because he’s in on it.
No action before the election, that has been obvious for 3 months.
Unless Wray, Barr and others are fired after the election, no action after the election either.
““Why Does Barr Let Wray Lie and Flout the Law?””
Bad optics in an election year. Wait until after the election. Depending on the DoJ’s priority list and Trump’s reelection, Wray could be gone as soon as November 15th or Trump might keep him on longer to redeem himself and move on all the Deep State corruption.
If Trump loses, he has 77 days until Biden is inaugurated to drain the swamp. More like get revenge on everyone who hurt him during his 4 years in office. The list is long, but Trump never had a problem with it.
Like Diogenes the Cynic, President Trump, should he be reelected, will have to wander far and wide to find a non swamper.
As a US Attorney once told me, the law is what I say it is, not what it’s text states.
If Trump loses and tries to take action in the remaining 77 days, he will be ignored. The office holders will simply refuse to step down, since they know the dems (and most repubs) will have their backs.
Tic tic tic. Playing defense and running out the clock.
At least we have been relieved of ONE USSC POS who believed the same.
Agreed. Will be surprised to see any of our domestic enemies doing anything proper for the next week at least.
Come for the King, best not miss because he just may get re-elected.
OMG. I agree on the like button. Maybe we could have “like” and “sucks”? Honestly free republic is so much better than citizenfreepress yet it gets all the publicity.
