The President then went on to issue an ultimatum directed at his attorney general.
Bill Barr can go down as the greatest attorney general in the history of our country, or he can go down as an average guy, Trump said, regarding the Durham probe. Well see what happens.
The President added that Barr is great most of the time but that hell be just another guy if he wants to be politically correct.
(Barr and Durham) have all the answers, Trump said. It goes all to Obama, and it goes right to Biden.
In a hearing before the House Judiciary Committee late last month, Barr wouldnt commit to releasing the Durham report until after the November election.
Under oath, do you commit to not releasing any report by Mr. Durham before the November election? Rep. Debbie Mucarsel-Powell (D-FL) asked Barr.
No, Barr said, before doubling down on his denial and adding that he will be very careful.

We are gonna proceed with this investigation and not put it on hold right now during election season, Barr said Wednesday on an interview on The Buck Sexton Show.
Were all aware of the calendar and were not going to do anything for the purposes of affecting an election, but we are trying to get some things accomplished before the election, he said.
He declined to answer Sextons question about if the probe is in its final stages, but promised that people will be held accountable if prosecutor John Durham finds that any criminal laws were violated.
The probe has become increasingly colored by partisanship as President Donald Trump openly hopes for, and pins Barrs legacy on, Durham finding evidence to discredit the origin of the FBIs investigation into his campaign. And, as Trump has made clear, he wants that exculpation before the November election.

Would be interesting if those who could expose the lies would publicly expose everyone and everything and nobody could stop them from doing it.
I would love to see that. I'm so sick of this shit.

(296 posts)All the right wing talks about Obama, Clinton, James Comey and Robert Mueller (among others) were all going TO JAIL based on claims they FILED FALSE FISA WARRANT applications. Even the Inspector General of the DOJ found NO EVIDENCE of CRIMINAL WRONG DOING by the FBI in regards to the FISA WARRANTS, although he did condemn their sloppiness in the way they filed some applications. Seriously, if Durham reports criminal wrong doing, what is Bill Barr going to do? Who is he going to arrest? What a stupid, desperate FUBAR plot.
