Mr. Barr's Gambit [View all]

The Attorney-General, William Barr, made a public statement yesterday about his "special investigator", John Durham. He announced that Mr Durham was unlikely to pursue "criminal charges" against Joe Biden or Barack Obama for the "crime" committed against Donald Trump. Really!

Well, here's a deal for you, Mr Barr. The next Congress, hopefully a Democratic House and Senate, with a Democratic President, will appoint a "special investigator" just for you. How does that sound?

They will investigate why you lied about the Mueller Report and why you didn't investigate all the crimes that were going on around you? And why you felt it necessary to be the lawyer for Donald Trump, rather than the Attorney General for all the people of this country?

They are not likely to pursue "criminal charges", unless they are so blatant and obvious that they have no choice. But what they can do, is to keep the investigation going right up to the next election. And keep it over your head like an axe ready to fall. Surely you will have no problem with that?

If you are looking for sympathy, Mr Barr, and hoping that Democrats will put everything aside in the interest of "bringing the country together", I sincerely hope you are wrong. Your crimes and those of Donald Trump are too much to sweep under the rug. My hope is that a "Special Investigator" will turn over every rock and expose you for just what you are?
