U.S. Attorney John Durham’s probe into the origins of the Russia collusion investigation is not expected to lead to a criminal investigation of either former President Barack Obama or former Vice President Joseph R. Biden, Attorney General William P. Barr said Monday. “As for President Obama and Vice President Biden, whatever their level of involvement based on what I know, I don’t expect Durham’s work will lead to a criminal investigation of either man,” Mr. Barr said. “Our concern of potential criminality is focused on others,” he continued. Mr. Barr also offered vague details into the investigation’s progress saying he has a “general

This is BeeEss! Who do they think ordered this? I'll just wait for the other shoe to drop. The magic negro and quid-pro Joe should be investigated...

Please tell me, AG Barr, if those two can get a free pass on treason and an attempted coup, why should any of us ever obey any laws ever again? You might as well call maintenance and have them sandblast the words “Equal Justice Under Law” off the front of the SCOTUS building.

What happened to...'no one is above the law'? Rather convenient when President Trump was in the cross hairs but crickets chirping when it's the beloved muslim marxist and his partner in crime.

Why should Obama, Biden, and the Clinton's be immune from investigations? Haven't I witnessed Trump being investigated for 3 years? Trump answered interrogatories sent over by Mueller. What is with the no investigations or even questions allowed for Democrats? This is not going to do. If Mr. Barr won't do it, then I hope Trump will get someone else.

That is fine, we need to STOP pointing this directly at Obama or Biden, and focus on Brennan, Clapper, Rice, Comey, Strzok, Page, Pientka, etc...
The spotlight will eventually cascade up them as either being so out of touch with what was happening in their administration, or they will eventually be implicated in some way.
And, he is stating that the DURHAM probe won't likely lead to criminal investigation, but does not rule out other investigations beyond Durham.
Don't let the media distract you from the main parts of the investigation and probe by focusing on Obama-Biden, or even Hillary, for that matter. The MSM will protect them all, so don't allow them to distract from the overall investigation and probe.

Great care is taken to shield such people from provable criminality. Plus in the Mulatto's case there is the question of putting together a jury of his peers that will convict. All this goes into the calculation. In an ideal world they would be breaking rocks. But is the world was ideal they would behind Hillary and Bubba.

Only fools couldn’t see this coming. Where’s the Billy Barr Fan Club now that he’s said it himself? What a freakin’ swamp rat. Get his butt out of the DOJ, Mr. President, or stop whining about being a victim. This is sickening (or is it the same ploy used on Flynn - “no worries, you don’t need legal representation”)?

Who is gonna throw themselves upon a sword to protect Hillary?
Let's see how this plays out-Barr is playing it veryclose to the vest and doesn;t want to give anything away until indictments start coming down. Who knows where this will lead? A 20 year prison sentence will do wonders for a faulty memory!

Great, from now on we can break any 'supposed' law, as well as refuse to show a picture ID when we're asked, since it's OK for democrats. We shouldn't have to pay taxes and we can lie to the government about everything, because at this point, "what difference does it make!"

So if the part time non tenured lecturer community organizer who never passed the bar punk commits a crime there is nothing to prosecute. If he kills a person in broad daylight and thousands are witnesses there is nothing to see, moving right along. The law just applies to the little people. Rather interesting new law in the US isn't it??

That's right - - don't go after Mr. Big. Just round up the small-time punks - - and let it go at that.
This wouldn't pass as a script for a low-budget drive-in movie.

Just confirmation that Durham will issue a report, not indictments. The Republicans once again prove that they are indeed the stupid party. And that we were equally stupid when we chanted “Lock her up!”. Trump rallies will never be the same.
Several years after Trump leaves office we’ll learn that in order to avoid tearing apart the country that Trump decided not to prosecute the Obama officials who tore apart the country. Mitt Romney will praise him for this, no matter how foolish it was.

I've kept up with much of this stuff Barr and his crew have been investigating but was never under the delusion ANYONE would actually be prosecuted so haven't taken much of it seriously. The Swamp will not be drained as long as there is enough money to grease enough palms and enough skeletons to be kept in closets. Silly Rabbit, prosecutions are for Republicans.

So, AG Barr, you chickened out, afterall. Obie is too black for criminal prosecution. The fix is in. Now watch Sullivan suddenly vacate any charges against Flynn.

Fine. Let's prosecute the ringleaders and the "just following orders "crowd. That will keep DOJ busy long enough and prove the involvement of the unindicted co-conspirators, Obama, Biden and Ms Clinton.

I am not threatening to do it, nor am I advocating that it be done, but am just saying that we have seen enough instances where failure on the part of government to prosecute true and egregious criminality leads to fed up patriots/citizens taking care of matters themselves. And that can get REAL UGLY.

So everything is being walked back . . . Slowly. What will Hannity say now, as he has been harping for months that there would prosecutions? It won't happen. I wouldn't be surprised if lower level slime balls like Strozk and Page aren't held accountable.

When will they learn that they don't need to answer every question? "Can['t comment on an on-going case..." or "on-going investigation..." let 'em sweat a little. Or, as an old MA politician once said, "Never write when you can speak; never speak when you can nod; never nod when you can wink."
They probably don't want to touch the chief executive. I doubt the same courtesy would be afforded to President Trump in 5 years when he returns to civilian life.
We're getting weary of the Left skating.
But, why should we be surprised? After all, they go to the same private schools, the same prep schools, the same Ivies, the same Ivy law schools. They go to the same parties, marry each other, their children marry the offspring of their fellows; they end up in the same law firms and wall street firms and judgeships, in lots of courts; and one darned day they end up in government, local, State, Federal. There they ply their wares, stuff each other's pockets, give each other's children the plum positions and guaranteed seats in the prestigious schools and firms and on and on and on and on and on and on it goes ad nauseum ad infinitum.

We are being conditioned to accept that nothing will happen top the coup plotters so we won't be up in arms when nothing happens. Just watch, there will be a lot more grease applied to the skids and it will all just slide away.

Tell me this is another "FAKE NEWs". These Doorknob Hussein and the LowLives in Washington committed worse crimes than those white-collar criminals sentenced to over 10 years in prison. Is this the new normal or the new America for the legal system where only the regular taxpayers are bound by the rule of the land?
SICK, if this is true.

None of the tough questions posed within this thread and similar threads seem directed at the Chief Executive. I support the president and am beyond sick of Trump-bashing in the media but he is responsible, after all, for the actions/inaction of his subordinates.

Both Obama and Biden are cleaver enough to have established what is called plausible deniability for anything improper they may have orchestrated. The way to catch them is to have some of their underlings who are being investigated blow the whistle on them to save their own butts. It’s probably not time for that yet.

That is DISGUSTING! So they are ABOVE the LAW? It was said that it's illegal to lie to congress.... but congress can lie any time they want? Again, a bag-o'-dirt can be elected to office and he/she can do any dam thing they want that's AGAINST the Constitution and not get indicted and sent to prison? There better be a sane solution to this pig-sty of a mess!!!!

The keyword there is unlikely. It could be decoy to throw them off and to tamp down tensions. However not surprised by the statement. When an outgoing president is part of a coup to oust an incoming president what is that called? It's a lot more than high crimes and misdemeanors.
It will be interesting to see who sings first, who will take the fall and who will try for plea agreement.

I read that many thousands were unmasked during the Obama administration, including Justice Roberts, Mitt Romney, Paul Ryan, Scalini, etc. Who's to say it isn't still happening? It would explain a lot of behavior e.g. Barr, Lindsay Graham, Emmett Sullivan and Trey Gowdy. One of the focuses is porn habits. It would explain a lot.

And this is why the dems keep on and on. Justice is very one sided. If there's a D behind your name, you can do anything. If there's an R behind your name, you can't breath wrong or else you'll get impeached. What is wrong with Barr? President Nixon was impeached for far less than what Obama did. Oh right, there's a D behind Obama's name. Please put a stop to these criminals.

Lights out, guys! You might as well accept that only the little nobodies will suffer, and the big dogs will get off scott free. People we've never heard of will go to jail, and the Brennans, Comes, Clintons, and obamas will continue to grow in wealth and power. America will be destroyed. Hang it up!

If the Fatherless Son of a Female Dog and his Senile sidekick are untouchable for the crimes of Sedition and Treason then the citizenry has little recourse to save the The Republic other than that used by our British founders when they deemed the king a Tyrant...Render unto Ceasar that which is Ceasars and unto Treasonous Fatherless Sons that which they have earned....This is why The Second Amendment was given us By God!
