And in return, Barr ensured that the possible president of the united states will be wholly owned by the CCP and the PLA!

Thanks Bill! Way to go!

Barr did the right thing.

*************

According to what regulation, directive, order, act, law, etc.?

The DOJ’s mission is to seek just punishment for those guilty of unlawful behavior and to ensure fair and impartial administration of justice for all Americans. How is protecting the son of a political candidate fair and impartial justice?

What justifies this kind of protection and sensitivity for political reasons? If this is OK then what are the limits on political protection? Are political considerations now a factor in justice?

Barr is just another Swamp creature protecting the Deep State. If one of Trump’s sons had done what Biden’s son did DOJ would have gone after them with a vengeance.

If it were ONLY Hunter, keeping it under wraps would be appropriate. But it was clear well before Nov 3rd that Joe Biden was knee deep in this. Emails, hard drives and sworn testimony from people with direct first hand knowledge. The American People had a right to know, and the American “Press” had a duty to report. But Barr’s cover up gave the press the ability to declare the whole matter “debunked”, Rudy a KOOK, and the entire thing another “Russian disinformation campaign”.

All Barr had to do to stay neutral was state “I will not comment on an ongoing investigation”. He certainly had a duty to denounce the Russian disinformation claim that was parroted by the Obama administration intelligence community and repeated word for word by the “Press”. Democrats used Barr’s cover up to hurt Trump and make Joe a sympathetic victim. Barr, intentionally or unwittingly, influenced the election FOR Biden.

Which meant that he got involved with Election politics. I don’t buy this for a minute.

"Barr did the right thing" for himself and the Deep State.

Fixed it for you.

Barr was playing politics

**************

Worse than that. By doing this he is legitimizing and establishing precedent for it. Just another step toward weaponizing federal agencies against its own citizens.

“Barr did the right thing.”

Perhaps. But if only one side does the right thing for fifty years and the other side consistently and shamelessly uses the justice dept for political gain or for protecting the members of the ruling class from things that would get regular people years in federal prison, how does that work out?

I assure you, the Biden justice dept will not learn from Barr’s good example. Watch the ginned up indictments come down in the next twelve months.

At this point, American government is about nothing except power and the ability to use it to acquire more money and power for one’s tribe and one’s friends. We have to stop pretending that there is any principle left and realize that the Republic is over. We live in Nietzsche’s world now.

Attorney General William Barr, in the weeks before November’s election, instructed prosecutors and senior colleagues to prevent word of investigations into Hunter Biden from becoming public and keep the Justice Department out of campaign politics, according to people familiar with the matter.

It's the same excuse why Barr won't investigate The Steal.

I know the WSJ and Barr think it's a valid excuse but it isn't, for many reasons.

We played by the rules and lost again. People like you enable it. The rules are whatever favor Democrats.

Bull Cheese. If that were true, then now that the election is over, will we expect Bagpipes Bob to begin the indictments and charges against Hunter and Joe?

Barr did the right thing.

—————————

Oh you were so full of it. For several reasons. First let me remind you that Hillary Clinton was the first presidential candidate ever to be investigated while running for office. Twice.

If a Rat like Comey could do that to Clinton, then why shouldn’t Barr investigate Hunter? Secondly. Now that the election is over do you really expect Barr to investigate Hunter and Joe?

Sure he will. Just like he has that idiot clown Durham investigating the Russian collusion fraud from all those many years ago.

AG Barr - another D.C. swamp a-hole, who hides systemic corruption because his own “squad” of cheats is likely involved up to their eyeballs.

Sure he did - b/c we insignificant little people have no right to know that a candidate for the world’s most powerful office is owned by the communist Chinese.

What was Barr’s excuse for giving Obama and Biden a ‘Get out of jail free card???

Barr is a man of integrity and he followed the rules and procedures that have been broken by others. People here get pissed because he didn’t follow the example of Comey or McCabe and break the rules to favor a political agenda.

Either you follow the rules and guidelines or you don’t - can’t have it both ways.

That’s a very interesting train of thought there. But I don’t believe for a second Barr held back the Hunter investigation because of that.

And unfortunately, I don’t believe for a second that the 2018 executive order is going to mean diddly squat.

Look for example at the election interference on going as we speak right now in Michigan. With that idiot governor calling out the state police to prevent a legal and constitutional election process. And will President Trump call out the National Guard to stop it? Will he invoke a limited measure of martial law to protect the constitution?

Nope.

Barr conspired with the GOP Senate Leaders to sabotage Trump.

Why else would Lindsey Graham continually promise to subpoena Hunter and Joe - and never do it?

They told Barr he’d be a hero - and Senators are around a lot longer than Presidents. Foreign money for everybody!
