A whole new chain of command for anyone thinking of investigating Ukraine. A nation wide directive from Barr.

The corruption and criminality is just overwhelming and nothing is being done to stop it.

(CNN)A federal investigation into whether Trump Organization executives violated campaign-finance laws appears to be wrapping up without charges being filed, according to people familiar with the matter.
For months, federal prosecutors in New York have examined whether company officials broke the law, including in their effort to reimburse Michael Cohen for hush-money payments he made to women alleging affairs with his former boss, President Donald Trump.
In recent weeks, however, their investigation has quieted, the people familiar with the inquiry said, and prosecutors now don't appear poised to charge any Trump Organization executives in the probe that stemmed from the case against Cohen.

EDNY.

(4,980 posts)9. I will watch it in full and without distraction.
Had to be up and down while cooking dinner.
I am livid over the thought that barr is weaseling prosecutions for tRumps benefit... including SDNY.

(32,786 posts)11. Barr sent a directive nation wide that any investigation involving Ukraine will have to be approved
And okayed by him. So its all basically over. A lot of people are shocked that the SDNY folded investigations into the hush money at Barrs direction.
