LOL!! Barr's OCT Surprise a BUST!!! Barr tells Republicans Durham report won't be ready by election

[Skraxx]

Attorney General Bill Barr has begun telling top Republicans that the Justice Department’s sweeping review into the origins of the Russia investigation will not be released before the election, a senior White House official and a congressional aide briefed on the conversations tell Axios.

1. Whatever they have

They may have decided to hold on till after Biden is elected, then give the stuff to whatever Repubs are remaining in office to screw with him while he's trying to save the country

[JenniferJuniper]

6. If they had anything worth using, it would be out now.

[Claustrum]

12. I agree with your take. They need any good news to stay competitive

both at the presidential and house/senate level. If there is anything worthwhile, it would be out now.

2. Womp womp.

No smear for you.

3. Takes a while to manufacture evidence....

[BKDem]

4. The oranges still aren't ripe. Tsk.

[MissMillie]

5. Well, there is something he can release before the election...

...the unredacted Mueller Report.

He's been ordered by the court to release it. And that report is finished. There's nothing the Justice Department need do except release it.


Too much to hope for?

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

7. They got nothin'.

They don't want to release it now because they know it's a dud.

11. But Barr put together a 4 page summary of the Mueller report in a weekend

and that report was 448 pages. Surely they could come up with something to fill air time and airheads with a few key phrases.

8. Repubs - but will take the turd regardless of its level of shine

PLEASE! Mitch and Clustertrump left us looking like we ruined Christmas.

[yellowcanine]

9. Yeah but watch for "leaked" documents.

[OnDoutside]

10. I've felt for some time that this has been a jolly for Barr and Durham, to fly all over the place,

stay in fancy hotels and dine in fancy restaurants, at the tax payers expense. I think a FOIA by some enterprising journalist might worth the effort.

[Buckeyeblue]

13. Is this another big FU to Trump?

Maybe Republicans can try to get an independent investigation under Biden to look at this? Or maybe the investigation shows the Russian investigation was warranted.

I think after the election Republicans will do all the can to make everyone forget about Trump. Having this investigation out there just keeps his name around.

Barr is a Republican before he is a Trumpy. If he thinks Trump is beyond saving, he won't use any political capital to try to help him.

Trump is about to find out how unloyal the Republicans are...especially to him.

[Windy City Charlie]

16. Exactly

And Barr probably knows it's not enough to shift things in Trump's favor, with the hopes Biden will go light on him (Barr).

[LizBeth]

14. Isn't this what he was suppose to go out last night and arrest everyone for Trump? Lol, ah well.

[Windy City Charlie]

15. In other words...

there's nothing there.

17. BArr sees the writing on the wall

He's been a disgrace and his legacy will be of a corrupt lacky with no sense of decency. But he knows if he pushes it much further he could face charges under the new government next year.
