Would AG Barr be so bold as to indict Hillary Clinton and others before the election?

[kentuck]

No doubt, this type of rhetoric is intended to fire up the base for Trump.

But, Barr is almost as unpredictable as Trump. Would he pull a stunt like that just to create chaos and turmoil and division?

I am not 100% sure that he wouldn't try such a stunt? Today the DNI sent over 1000 pages to the DOJ as "evidence" against them?

1. you back ?

cool ...

✌🏼

[kentuck]

15. Just checking in.

[dweller]

18. i'm sure

you had time to put things in perspective
and enjoyed the break ...

welcome back to the fray

✌🏼

2. More likely when he's a lame duck

Although, honestly, I don't think he will.

I can see some lower profile person get arrested, but not HRC.

[Budi]

3. For what? Guess he could manufacture a reason just to engage the mob that supports it

I realize that at this point, Barr is doing whatever he can think of to keep a Biden win from lighting his fat ass on fire.

Desperation is the motivation of a madman.

[Turin_C3PO]

4. I tend to doubt it.

Anything’s possible, of course, but I don’t see it happening.

[StarryNite]

5. They run on distraction and chaos.

[Iliyah]

6. From what I've been reading - it's nada . . ...

mostly shithole's tweets and complaining crap. Ratcliff probably tried to pick and chose a sentence here and there, but overall, it's nada . .

Basically Ratcliff may have altered the documents, but atlas, I'm pretty sure the original documents are evidence. There is no nothing and yes, it proves that Russia and shithole and the republican are working together.

[Bettie]

7. I'm where you are, it SEEMS like something unreasonable

and politically suicidal, but Barr appears to not care about anything but appeasing the Tangerine Taint-tumor, so it is possible.

[The Magistrate]

8. Glad To See You Back, Sir

It would be interesting to see someone cite an obviously applicable statute broken by anything the Democratic candidate and Administration did in 2016.

Any attempt to do this would collapse in fiasco.

[kentuck]

16. Thank you , Sir.

These are not rational people.

As Mark Twain noted: "Truth is stranger than fiction, but it is because Fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities. Truth isn't."

9. In a New York second

He's got to save his old ass from a jail cell and that of Donny.

He gives not one fuck about any checks in our system. He must stay in power.

I personally expect indictments against Biden, Obama and HClinton to be the Friday news. dump either tomorrow or to be the "October Surprise!" early next week.

[Pathwalker]

24. I'm with you on this. We can't put ANYTHING past them.

They want to be dictators for life, and this may be their last option of doing so.

[Chainfire]

10. Only if he thought it would help Trump to win.

Barr is living on the edge of a razor. He has to prepare to fall either way as the election goes.

[OregonBlue]

11. I don't doubt he would do it if he thinks he can get the press to go along. They have been

putting these "charges" together for over a year and they are running out of time to make use of them.

[Buckeyeblue]

12. I think indicting Hillary would be a big mistake

It would make the 30% crowd happy. But everyone else would see it for the stunt that it is.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

13. Perhaps the House can impeach Barr for abuse of Power and Malfeasance ...

Of course the Senate would convict if done before Biden is sworn in on January 2021. But then, 2022 Senate races will be up as well. Dems would not need worry about losing their seats.

[qazplm135]

14. Barr thinks he and Trump are the last gate against

the horrors to come.

I would guess he'd do just about anything, and consider himself a hero or a martyr either way.

[dawg day]

17. After the election, maybe

But I suspect there will be some resignations by prosecutors. It'll make the Saturday night massacre look like a Saturday picnic.

[Grasswire2]

19. I believe it would work against Trump.

People are already fleeing him because of the chaos.

Pick one:

Dump Trump

or

Get excited about indictments that would cement his banana republic coup attempt

??

I think most of America would pick number one.

[greenjar_01]

20. Don't you need a grand jury for that?

[lettucebe]

22. Was going to just say this -- you don't just "indict" someone, need grand jury

People can be arrested, but not indicted (at least I think so, never actually been there so don't really know the rules).

[Wounded Bear]

21. Barr can't indict. He needs a Grand Jury for that...nt

[Brother Mythos]

25. Excellent point! What seasoned, respected attorney of what Federal Judicial District, ...

no matter how politically motivated, would even seriously consider convening a Grand Jury to indite any of those people?

[Grins]

23. Oh, please yes! DO IT!!!!

File the damn indictment!
Arrest her!
Book her!

NOTHING can happen in court for months.

Except, shortly after noon on 20 January - President Biden “grants a full, free, and absolute pardon onto Hillary Clinton for all offenses against the United States, which she committed or may have committed or taken part in...”

And use those exact words, which should be familiar to you.

Just to watch Reich-wing heads explode!

More fun? Hillary will be on the stand during Biden’s inaugural. Sign it there and hand it to her! Oh, could the sweet baby Hey-Soros love me this much?

[Cicada]

26. Indicting Hillary would increase democratic turnout

Like poking a stick in a hornet’s nest.

[lostnfound]

27. Odds are high that he is sick nt
