We always seen to have some procedural reason not to do something; something that never plagued the democrats.

Article is wrong.

No Federal Investigator stands by while toothless IG takes 3 years to make recommendations that are routinely ignored.

Barr doesn’t believe that, or he would’ve held off on Appointing John Durham.

The IG report will be softened after Wray directs Horowitz to take out this and that, and old Toothless won’t even use names.

IG Horowitz is the one that said there was no Political considerations with Strzok and Page because THEY told him so!

Horowitz is little lapdog that tipped off Mueller and Rosenstein the very same day he found out about their texts, and Mueller told them there was surveillance of their work phones. Page texted Strzok and told him never to TEXT her again on that line.

Horowitz is a joke that Rosenstein and Comey insisted on, like Huber.

Huber stood down. Sessions and Rosenstein let him.

No non Deep State investigator stands by while the toothless IG takes his time.

You’re being sarcastic, right? Because nobody could be that dumb.

Any govt that gets this corrupted has no chance of rendering justice on itself. None whatsoever.

"Sessions snookered conservatives, who had been clamoring for a second special counsel to investigate FISA abuse, by naming Huber, while knowing the Utah-based U.S. attorney’s hands would be tied under normal DOJ procedures."

"Rather than bemoan Sessions’ timid approach to Spygate, conservatives (and those truly concerned .."

sessions, being a large part of the coup, should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

You’re right. The IG report doesn’t doesn’t do squat, let along unleash anything other than perhaps Wray, et. al. trying to water it down. Clickbait from the Federalist?

I generally agree with what you say.

There is no reason to believe that Durham will not investigate and prosecute wrong doing. But he is starting from square one. Sessions/Rosenstein/ Huber have admitted that they have done nothing.

There is no reason to believe that Barr will do nothing. The fact that Democrats in Congress and the media are constantly attacking him makes me believe he is honest and capable.

President Trump has ordered the declassification of the documents related to the illegal activity. He has given Barr responsibility to declassify.

I do not trust Wray, Horowitz or the others. They will work to undermine any investigation and sabotage the president.

But I think things are beginning to get better.

Don’t underestimate President Trump.

Detective — It’s a shame that so many have criticized this good article without reading it. Margot Cleveland does solid, analytical work; she is not flashy and she does not sell bombshells.

Using Barr as her source, Cleveland is NOT expecting much from the IG report itself. Her point is that the IG process has been an excuse for preventing investigation of the coup plot. Ending the IG FISA investigation busts this roadblock; Barr already busted another by sending Mueller home. The OIG and OSC were “lawfare” schemes used to shield the plotters. Barr has also blown up Sessions’ “Huber” scam. What Cleveland says is being “unleashed” is the ability to even conduct an investigation.

I hope so, but we’re in for a long slog, with many more barriers. Wray, Congress, the CIA, and countless members of the FBI and IC will pop up legalistic roadblocks, file suits, destroy evidence, lie like rugs, try to destroy Barr, lay on the railroad tracks, or whatever to forestall justice. If the Spygate investigation were Gulliver, Barr has severed about 3 of the Lilliputians 1,000 ropes. Every journey starts somewhere, and Barr knows the game.

Great post.

The problem is not that Barr is sitting around doing nothing.

The problem is that honest investigations were deliberately stopped by Wray, Rosenstein and others.

Things are starting to change. But it will not be easy.

So if you trust Barr what do you think he meant by this:

Attorney General Barr what is Huber up too?

"The other issues [Huber has] been working on relate to Hillary Clinton” are "winding down and hopefully we'll be in a position to bring those to fruition," Barr said.

fru·i·tion
noun

the point at which a plan or project is realized. "the plans have come to fruition sooner than expected"
