A question about Bill Barr

[JPK]

Let's say the dems win the presidency (we hope) and we install a legitimate AG. Can Barr be prosecuted for his actions protecting Trump?

1. Maybe.

2. absolutely Yes He can Nixon's ag went to jail

but it's all politics and do the Dems have the will for law and justice and for investigations after an election where they win both houses and the Potus

or just move on like happens so much when one side leaves "quietly".

3. yes, unless he gets a pardon.....

But if he does he could have to testify about everything he did, and if he lies under oath, he can be prosecuted for perjury.

He won't be able to take the 5th for anything he was pardoned for. If he tries, he can be charged with obstruction.

It's definitely a double edged sword.

4. William Barr

is about 6 months older than I am. I conduct my life in such a way that it is highly unlikely that any of the time I have left to live will be spent in jail.

Barr does not need to be a shill for trump.

5. Probably. But the POTUS and legit AG need to have the stomach for it. And that's a big problem.

Biden is the poll leader. And Biden was part of the Obama admin which did not prosecute Wall Street banksters or Bush admin war criminals. They did not have the stomach for it.

And, to be fair, prosecuting political opponents (like Trump wants to do) looks inherently dirty, even though sometimes the people being prosecuted absolutely deserve it (like Trump et al would).

6. I hope he goes down long before the next administration.

For the sake of our country.
