Well, only took him half a year and tons of damage done to the country. Better late than never?

[DesertRhino]

Wow! Just what we needed, a new policy! The jackass, The problem is not the policy, the problem was -criminal- behavior on the part of the FBI and CIA. And nobody has been prosecuted.

[Major Matt Mason]

More rules for the Democrats to ignore. They haven't paid a price for their criminal behavior the past 4 years, so they aren't going to worry about a few more rules. And a Democrat AG will just rescind those rules, anyway, so this is pretty meaningless.

[Buckeye McFrog]

This is NOT the outcome we were wanting you to produce, Mr. Barr.

[Fresh Wind]

Problems?

What about criminal activity by top-level FBI officials?

[Deaf Smith]

I read this as protection for foreign born candidates and same for their staff. Including those already seated.

[PGalt]

Comments BUMP!

Bully Bagpiped while America burned. JUSTICE? Not so much where it counts from the Dept. of SELECTIVE Justice/Injustice. The BIGGEST scandal in United States history...UNTOUCHED.

[Gene Eric]

“Yeah, that illegal spying wasn’t right — try not to do it again, okay?”

[PIF]

He’s just marginally better than all the other swamp creatures eligible to be AG - what fo you expect? Wine from a dead cow?

[Hattie]

We have no justice department.

[liberalh8ter]

One new policy would require the FBI to consider briefing a federal candidate or staffer

Consider? As in, we considered but decided against it?

[one guy in new jersey]

Gee. Just in time to protect Biden.

[Oldeconomybuyer]

Good grief.

[Boogieman]

Just in time to protect Biden and Harris who are colluding with domestic terrorists.

Or am I being too cynical?

[glasseye]

This is stupid.
How can more ‘rules’ change a dam thing when the FBI is willing to break laws with ZERO consequence?
The ‘heros’ in the FBI tried to steal the votes of 63 million and manufacture false charges against anyone they chose to destroy and Barr adds a few ‘rule changes’.
The ‘tree of liberty’ is almost beyond saving at this point.

[Uncle Miltie]

BARR: THE HORSE IS OUT OF THE BARN.

GO CATCH IT!!!

You can close the gate when you’ve got the Obamaites LOCKED UP!

[montag813]

Maybe when Barr is done with this meaningless decree, he can tell the FBI to arrest the terrorist murderer of Jay Bishop up in Portland.

If he's not too busy. I mean Panera does have a nice coupon this week.

[TBP]

Nice move, but where is Durham?

[Moorings]

It is not a lack of rules that caused the problems of 2016 and 2017. It was ignoring the existing rule and laws.

The thing that needs to happen is investigation and prosecution of those involved at all levels. All they have done so far is whitewash and rule out all the top players. Shame! They should not be above the law.

This looks like they are trying to create an appearance of doing something by prosecuting a low-level flunkie and set up some new rules.

Slow walking, clearing the names of the high level decision makers, phony investigations, withholding pertinent documents and information - all this has been the name of the game for the last three years.

[Still Thinking]

Great. So when D’s are in power, they weaponize federal agencies, but when R’s are in power, and D’s would be the target, we get reform and restraint. When D’s are once again in power, they’ll just ignore and/or repeal the rules. How do you win fighting asymmetrically like that?
