Hey GP, remember that Trump's demand from the Ukrainian president was not so much that he investigate Biden and CrowdStrike, but that he ANNOUNCE an investigation.

For the Trump base, smoke is as good as evidence.  And Trump wanted the smoke now.

That should guide your interpretation of a Barr-run DOJ's decision to upgrade an investigation into the FBI Russia investigation to "Criminal."

My GOSH!  What could they have FOUND to trigger that?!?  

Have people forgotten how the 7th Benghazi hearing, before it ended, was finally THIS CLOSE to the bottom of that scandal?!?
