23. Barr and Trump's other lackeys don't have the credibility that Comey had.

Sun Oct 25, 2020, 08:28 AM

Oct 2020

Comey was the Obama Administration Attorney General, and was not regarded as partisan. So his announcement right before election day, essentially incriminating the Democratic nominee, was devastating. Hillary Clinton already had a significant unfavorable rating, thanks to the decades-long Republican smear campaign against her. This tipped some voters over the edge to sit out the election, vote third party, leave the choice for President blank, or actually vote for Trump.

Comey's name will live in infamy. And his weak excuses for putting his thumb on the scale for Trump have done nothing to rehabilitate his reputation. He played a huge role in ushering in this sorry interlude.

We're in a totally different environment now. Barr is in no position to repeat the Comey October Surprise.
