How Barr’s Quest to Find Flaws in the Russia Inquiry Unraveled
https://www.nytimes.com/2023/01/26/us/politics/durham-trump-russia-barr.html
In a nutshell:
1. April 2019, Barr appointed/ordered Durham to investigate the investigators behind the Russia "witch hunt" which, he claimed in front of aides,
originated with U.S. intel agencies--the face of that "deep state" hostile to Trump. And he ordered the agencies to cooperate or suffer unspecified retaliation.
2. After a year of investigation could not produce the desired evidence, Barr flew with Durham to Britain and Italy to question gov. officials on their governments' "involvement" in this horrendous attempt to frame Trump.
3. The baffled if fully cooperative Italian government not only denied Barr's premise, but offered a tip regarding Trump's international business practices serious enough for Durham to open a criminal investigation into Trump.
4. Barr/Durham allowed a Fox News to report that the investigation into FBI wrongdoing had led to the discovery of potential criminal activity--neglecting to mention that activity was Trump's, not the FBI's.
Benghazi mode then--outrage over the imagined crimes, which there must have occurred if all these Trump DOJ officials are talking about them in their investigation. Congressional Republicans wanted the Report published, assuming it would confirm the "witch hunt" narrative. Trump demanded release of the Report and indictments before the 2020 election. Barr chose NOT to publicize the criminal investigation before the election.
On a side note, the NYT article also clarifies the baffling resignations of Durham's partner and several other lawyers working on the Report of Barr/Durham's repeated ethical violations. One cause was the decision to indict the Clinton lawyer, Sussman, on virtually no actionable evidence and working around a judge's order to pursue email evidence illegally. Sussman was taken to court and, of course, charges were quickly dismissed. Another was the continued pressure by Barr on this supposedly "independent" investigation.
Barr's behavior here seems to me an even more egregious violation of DOJ neutrality than his intercept/deflection of the Mueller Report, which legitimized the Trump-was-exonerated! narrative for millions of voters unable or unwilling to read through the legal arguments and evidence themselves.
So this "investigation" appears to have gone the way of the investigation into millions of illegals voting for Hillary in 2016.
Something to keep in mind as our Congress gears up to investigate the Biden crime family and the Dems who impeached Trump and investigated Jan. 6 and raided Mar-a-Lago.
Hunter Biden Laptop HERE WE COME!!
