So What Is The Upshot Of This DOJ Business That's Going On?.....

[Hugh_Lebowski]

4. I'm curious as to whether or not there's anything illegal about what happened?

My sense is ... probably not.

This is a 'political transgression', essentially. If Barr were still AG under Biden, I'd say he might fear his job. IF there's holdovers from the Trump admin high up in the DoJ, some might lose their jobs as I suspect some DoJ rules were broken here.

I don't think there's anything more to be done other than that, aside from political consequences ... i.e. if TFG runs again, we can bring up his spying.

That and maybe some stronger/more explicit rules against doing this kind of thing.
