By the way, the President just came out and asked two foreign countries to help him win an election. He's just taking the illegal stuff he did behind doors (and said he didn't do) and put it in the open. That's what he does. He does something horrible and then normalizes it when he gets caught.
He's literally trying to make it an unfair election.
Y'all still cool with this?
Yup. I'm totally cool with Durham and Barr investigating.
Don't y'all think it's a little strange that Barr is so hands on with this? Isn't Durham supposed to be an independent and impartial arbiter of what happenned? Sure seems like Barr is seeking to launder his own conclusions into Durham's
forthcoming report by using Durham's positive reputation. I almost wonder if those reports of Durham interviewing Steele and finding him to be credible (causing a delay in the release of the report, at one point it was supposed to come out months ago) were the impetus for Barr to step in and start guiding things a little more forcefully.
Durham reports to Barr just like Mueller did when Barr was appointed. Chain of command.
Sure, but the whole point of appointing both Mueller and (supposedly) Durham was to let them investigate things independently, since they were the ones with reputations for impartiality. In this case Barr seems to be way more involved than is usual or proper, he's actually out there investigating things in foreign countries (as if the USAG doesn't have more important things to do domestically...), and not that Trump fans care at it all but that gives a strong appearance if impropriety and throws doubt on how truly impartial Durham's report will be.
Barr has an excellent reputation for impartiality and I recall hearing high praise from all corners because an adult had finally been brought into the Trump administration....or at least until he started investigating the origins of Russian meddling into the 2016 election.
So you don't want the highest law enforcement officer in the land actively participating? Don't know about you, but with an activity of this magnitude, I'm glad he's hands-on and getting into details.
No he doesn't, not outside of the Republican propaganda eco-system. I'm genuinely impressed by the amount of gall it takes for you to post that unironically. Barr is most known for being the one to recommend pardons in the Iran/Contra scandal as a way to make it go away, his unofficial interview for the AG job was when he interviewed to be on Trump's defense team (which he bolstered by writing an unsolicited legal memo pre-emptively laying out his theory for why Trump didn't commit obstruction), and his 2nd tenure as AG is going to be known for it's blatant coverups in support of Trump. Hell, Mueller straight up called him out in public for misrepresenting the Mueller Report with his "memo" summary to transparently set-up a counter-narrative before the full report was released.
