Barr pressed Durham to find flaws in the Russia investigation. It didn’t go well.

Bill Barr made Justice Department Trump's 'personal protection racket'

 

Firestone closed by noting that Durham's probe was never able to secure any convictions, and in one instance was chastised by a judge for a filing that served no purpose but to propagate right-wing conspiracy theories he knew were lies.

He recalled the last time that Barr was at the Justice Department in 1992 when, during the Bush administration, "the Times columnist William Safire accused him of leading a 'Criminal Cover-up Division' in refusing to appoint an independent counsel to investigate whether the Bush administration had knowingly provided aid to Saddam Hussein that was used to finance the military before Iraq invaded Kuwait."

The tide is turning.  No more Barr/Durham, no more russiarussiarussia hoax (as DT likes to repeat frequently), no more "no collusion" chant.

Now is revealed the real Russia involvement.  There is going to be a lot hitting the fan in the next few weeks.  Will that certain private jet flight to Moscow in the dark of night finally come to pass?  Barr in steel bracelets?

My concern is Garland's DOJ may not pick up on this: not for love of the DT cabal, but for the image of the US DOJ.  Frankly, between the DT years and the corrupted Supreme Court the damage has already been done, Garland needs to have the dept. fumigated and aired out.

 

As for the GOP they seem to have realized that RIGHT NOW is the time for them to move on their orange Caesar lest they end up with him dominating the primaries.  All but the dumbest Americans (app. 35% of the electorate) are anticipating the "Et tu, Brutus" moment.

May be trouble with the MAGA money fountain as well
