Barr just told Hannity that there will be a "development" in the Durham invesetigation tomorrow

Seeing lots of tweets about this.

And it's happening just hours after the ultimatum that Trump gave Barr:

When pressed during a Fox Business Network interview on Thursday morning on his thoughts regarding the Durham probe, Trump replied that he hopes Durham’s team will do a “great job” and that his team “is not going to be politically correct.”

-snip-

“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. “We’ll see what happens.”

The President added that Barr is “great most of the time” but that “he’ll 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.”

2. What are they trying to get out of the news cycle, VP Harris or Michael Cohen's Foreword?

It's going to be bullshit intended to distract, but what exactly are they trying to distract from this time?

Bill Barr especially. I do not hate many people but the low life enablers of Trump in this administration are worthy only of hate. Bill Barr needs to be disbarred. He is a disgrace to the profession.God help us.

7. It's weird they'd do this on a Friday.

Typically, those days are reserved for when Trump wants to fire someone.

but a Friday is the worst day to do it.

Not to mention non-Trumpers and the media that isn't pro Trump are going to be pretty darn skeptical of any findings.

This is the problem with con artists...there's an expiration date on their effectiveness.

Alex Mallin @alex_mallin

Appearing on Hannity the same day that Trump vented some frustration about lack of developments/charges in the Durham probe, AG Barr announces there "will be a development in the case" tomorrow -- while adding it's not "earth-shattering."



NOTE: Barr calls the developement "not earth-shattering" so, there's that

Not today Satan! (God, I love saying that, lol) Barr has not been so lucky these days, couldn't even stop Cohen's book.

14. K&R - good, plenty of time to expose BARR's shenanigans. "not an earthshaking" one, he said.
