In a recent interview with The New York Times, Attorney General William Barr reiterated his intention to find out why the Obama administration launched an investigation into the Republican Party presidential candidate’s campaign during the 2016 campaign.
Now, if the political parties in the sentence above were reversed, we would be in the midst of the biggest scandal in our lifetimes. As things stand, however, we are again compelled to argue over semantics. And one Barr quote, in particular, has gotten Democrats and their media allies agitated. “What we’re looking at is: What was the predicate for conducting a counterintelligence investigation on the Trump campaign?”

I hope Harsanyi is simply being non inflammatory when he suggests that Barr's examination is for systematic examination only. That is hugely insufficient and is just a first step. Yes, there may need to be systematic safeguards so that the next BO that comes along cannot get away with something like this. However, the strongest safeguard is SEVERE criminal punishment of individuals so that EVERY bureaucrat will remember the consequences of this type of behavior. You cannot put the "system" in prison and bureaucrats KNOW this and hide behind it. I have a hard time thinking that Barr doesn't understand this as well. I suspect, since stating the obvious truth is causing the Left to go nuts, that Barr is being careful about talking about the probable next steps until he has the first stage conclusions to impel the investigation forward.
Individual actors need to be prosecuted and held criminally accountable. This was too involved a scheme to be random. It was planned and guided. The individuals involved need to have their feet held to a very intense fire to get them to expose the behind the scenes plotting including the obvious White House involvement.
There WAS a scandal. There WAS illegal activity. Heads NEED to roll.

You do not need to convince the Left/Enemedia that the Russian-collusion narrative was bogus, for one simple reason: they - who concocted and spread the lie - have known it was bogus from Day 1 when they started plotting the conspiracy to frame the president. They've known it's all bogus far more than certain NeverTrump Dim-wannabes. Deplorables are counting on this dreadful charade ending, at least, in indictments, and not just lower-level fall guys.

The Democrats had no problem with Obama when he whispered on an open mike for the Russian he was talking to tell Putin that he would have more flexibility once the election was over. I remember that during one debate with Trump Hillary said that Trump was colluding with the Russians. She knew it was a lie and no one called her on it. I hope Barr shuts them up and locks up those who are guilty of planning a coup against our President.

Holy cow. Does Barr have the illusive Howie Kurtz firm-grasp-of-the-obvious psychic abilities? Geez, something that has been known since ZeroHedge published and eviscerated the Steele dossier in January, 2017 to be bogus, then Levin detailed every single aspect of the Trump-Russia investigation as an illegal coup to remove a duly elected president in March, 2017 with easy to access evidence, and now Barr declares the Trump-Russia investigation bogus? Thankfully for the criminals involved in the illegal coup like Comey, Mueller, Hillary, Obama, Clapper, Brennan, Strzok, Lisa Page, the Ohr's, EVERY FISA judge-that's right, EVERY FISA judge, they will only receive more rewards and benefits. Sadly, for the innocent lives the coup has destroyed like Carter Page and Mike Flynn (not to mention the FBI inquisition of Papadopoulos' wife that caused her to mis-carry; the inquisistion performed by some of those Hannity "good rank and file" agents) will NEVER be made whole. But, Barr figured it out for us. What a guy!

Meanwhile Congress want to call over a dozen witnesses that testified before the Mueller probe, and investigate everything all over again.

We can put it to bed after the dims responsible have been put in prison for a very long time. Still waiting for the indictments.

All the main bad actors need to be jailed for a very long time. Let them write their books and memoirs from jail cells.
Hillary Clinton will be taken care of in time I don't care about her and so will Obama let him run to the tall weeds never to be heard from again. I want the crooks so this never happens again. Barr needs to start with Brennen, Comey, Clapper, Strzok, Page and the Ohrs then get some FISA court judges. That would satisfy me along with dissolving the FBI and keeping the CIA only for foreign intelligence never to surveil Americans again.

Re #3's comment about what Obola said to the Russian - someone, I think maybe Rush, said what he really said was WHEN I AM RE-ELECTED. Does that scream voter fraud to you? It does to me.

Being a charter member of the swamp, Barr is looking for the right words to "exonerate" the entire bunch of fellow swampers. Just change the name from Hillary to whomever and use Comey's "no reasonable" prosecutor and so on and so forth.

#9, I hope that doesn’t happen but I certainly understand your comment. I think we all are waiting to see if our government can and will restore our trust in government. Right now, I am very skeptical. I want so badly for this country’s faith to to be restored because if it is not, we will never be the same. This whole seditious mess has been such a burden not only for an innocent President but for all Americans. If the Deep Stare can do this and come out of it unscathed, they are capable of anything. I can’t help but wonder what they have done and gotten away with. This is bigger than Donald Trump, it is an assault on our very foundation of laws. God help us if we don’t get this right. I pray that justice will be done and we can all rest assured that this will never happen again.
