Attorney General Barr is right in his commitment to purge the Justice Department and the FBI of their recent political proclivities. Attorney General Barrs remarks on Monday, signaling that the Justice Department anticipates no criminal charges against former President Obama and former Vice President Biden, should come as a surprise to no one (certainly, ahem, to no one who read Ball of Collusion).
As I noted here, less than a month ago, the AG observed during a wide-ranging interview with Hugh Hewitt that the subjects of the Durham investigation are not candidates for public office; thus, they were not affected by a Justice Department guideline against bringing charges close to Election Day. By then, Biden was already the putative Democratic presidential nominee. Obviously, if serious consideration were being given to an indictment of Biden, Barr would not have made the point about the guideline.
To be sure, the media reporting will portray Barrs latest comments as indicative of a rift between the AG and President Trump, whose latest Obamagate rhetoric frames Obama-era investigative abuses as crime. Barrs remarks will also be applauded as an exoneration of Obama officials consistent with the media approach that portrays Democrats as innocent victims of right-wing smears if they manage to evade indictment, while a guilty until proved innocent beyond any doubt standard is applied to Republicans. Barrs comments will feature in the nothing to see here storyline, the presss counter to stunning revelations about the baselessness of the Russia collusion narrative willfully peddled by Democrats, and the exploitation of counterintelligence powers powers that are supposed to protect us from jihadists and hostile regimes for partisan political purposes.
