Attorney General William Barr signaled that federal officials involved in launching the investigation into Russias interference in the 2016 election and its links to the Trump campaign could face criminal prosecution.
As part of a wide-ranging interview with Fox News, the attorney general said a federal prosecutor appointed to review the origins of the inquiry, later headed by Justice Department special counsel Robert Mueller, has so far found troubling evidence of possible abuses.
My own view is that the evidence shows that were not dealing with just the mistakes or sloppiness, Barr said Thursday. There was something far more troubling here. Were going to get to the bottom of it. And if people broke the law and we can establish that with the evidence, they will be prosecuted.

"Spying on a campaign is a big deal," Barr told lawmakers last year. "I think spying did occur. The question is whether it was adequately predicated."

This is likely election year bullshit. If Blubber Boy Barr files charges I doubt there'll be a conviction.

It will not.
