Attorney General William Barr knew about two contemporaneous federal investigations into Hunter Biden for months — and worked to keep them from the public ahead of the election, according to a new report. The nation’s top law enforcement official avoided providing information about the probes to Republicans in Congress without explanation, a person familiar with the matter told the Wall Street Journal.

I figured Barr's culpability with the Deep State a while ago. All him and Durham are/were supposed to do is stall any investigation into Russiagate and any other dimocrat malfeasance until after the election this past November. Job well done, Bill, you fat pig.

The DOJ has been making decisions based on politics for too long now. Sessions should've cleaned that up. He failed miserably. Barr should be cleaning that up. He's apparently choosing to continue the practice. In doing so, he's cementing his legacy as one of the FAILED Attorneys General of the U.S.
He had a opportunity to be a champion of the constitution and a national hero. Instead, he's a failure.

We are told it is true, we have proof it is true for years now and even before Trump. It really is time we understand that Sessions, Barr, etc. made their choices and it is to preserve their relationships with the evil Deep State. Barr has a liberal daughter employed at the State department. These officials all pave the way for kids, grandkids and their friend’s kids and grandkids to ALSO get employed and prosper in the Swamp. Barr bamboozled and lied to President Trump just as I am sure Sessions did. He led us all on.

How stupid and ludicrous a statement. My imaginary dog who sits in the room while i am on the computer knows more about this story than the stupid illiterate Republicans. Of course, I haven't watched cable news for about eight years. Talk about stupid and illiterate.

I don't want to hear any more garbage about DOJ's policy not to release information during a political campaign season that could unfairly influence votes.
Heck, tell that to the late Sen Ted Stevens. Tell it to the Dems and their Fake Dossier on Trump.
What really gripes me is that when Trump and Giuliani started to poke around about the Biden corruption in Ukraine, the Dems used that is the pretext to initiate Impeachment efforts against Trump.
And the DPJ, having opened and started an investigation about Biden corruption sat quietly while the Dems tried to impeach Trump and then hid the information from yje public ahead of the election.

The Deep State cat is out of the bag. The big meat head Barr was running interference until after the election for theft by the Big Guy Joe Biden of the 2020 election. Trump is operating as President without any help and support from the crooks in Washington. All President Trump has is his family and supporters who voted for him it ends there. Thieves are everywhere in that rat hole call Washington DC.

Meaning after President Trump is inaugurated Jan 20, 2021, someone like Flynn and Grennell who know how the civil service and DS work, should be given the task of cleaning out the Augean stables of the FBI, CIA, DOJ and DHA within the following 12 months. Identify and reassign/boot out every leftard that is burrowed in. And don't leave out the SES scum.
I really can't find any authorization in the constitution for those departments, anyway. The DOD has the DIA, it ought to be able to pick up those few necessary tasks the CIA did with some additional support.

Why no questions/comments about the president who appointed and steadfastly retains him? Barr has been made the boogie man for quite some time, as if he works on his own in a vacuum.

The clickbait headline notwithstanding, I don’t see that Barr “hid” anything.
FTA:
Investigators worked to make sure news of the investigations didn’t become public before the presidential election, as per Justice Department guidelines that prohibit activity that could influence a political race.
One probe had to do with tax fraud. Re the other, in the SDNY court, is described thusly in the article:
Hunter Biden, however, was never a specific target for criminal prosecution, according to the Journal.
So AG Barr should have telegraphed these two investigations?

DJT: Mr. Barr, I am pleased to inform you that at this very moment you are no longer Attorney General of the United States of America.
Barr: but what did I do????
I still would like to know who recommended Barr to the President. this has paul ryan written all over it, in my opinion.

Had any member of the Trump Family been under investigation for tax fraud, the news would have been plastered all over the news every 24/7 for months. But that's not how Democrats and their families get treated. Republicans do. Their families do. Mr. Trump does. His family does.
Joe Biden -- were he physically capable -- could rob from, rape, and murder a dozen children in front of the White House and nary a word would be spoken against him by CNN. They would say he is supporting abortion rights.

Hold up, guys. Two things: some of the posts here are personally vicious and n/a for Lucianne. Also, "being under investigation" does not indicate or presume innocence or guilt. Barr may have been holding to a basic principle of jurisprudence. Everything, after all, doesn't need to be political.

At this point who knows William Barr’s motive for keeping those investigation secret until after the election. But most people above moron status should be able to figure out the DC “Deep State” political game if Joseph “Big Guy” Biden announces that he intends to keep Barr on as his Attorney General. All along it has been President Trump alone against the corrupt DC “UniParty” political and “Deep State” bureaucratic systems that have been unable to buy Trump off to keep him from upsetting their financial Apple carts.

So, we already know he did it. Now, calling him on it will only make him retire. Done! It's the last we will hear of Barr hiding Hunter's crimes! That's how the Democrats handle things and I guess those Deep State Republicans follow those guidelines as well! Meanwhile, nobody will touch Hunter Biden, and he knows it!

This sad sack of potatoes needs to be gone since yesterday, no a few months back. The ugly swamp creature is really beginning to show his face. Where the heck do the rest of us go to find law and order? FBI, corrupt, CIA, corrupt, DOJ, corrupt! Supreme Court, well, not all of them yet! Homeland?? Just another bureaucracy?
Mr. President, start by throwing this clown out before the weekend, ditto utterly corrupt and incompetent Wray!!!!

I feel like a fool. Once again I listen to everyone singing Barr’s praises and believed them. Worse than that is the fact that Barr betrayed a man who is the one stand up guy in this whole corrupt government and I am ticked because this poor President cannot catch a break. He has to be the biggest threat the deep state has ever encountered. God bless him. He truly is doing battle with the forces of evil. This feels like a similar situation when Lot asked God to spare Sodom and Gomorrah if there were 10 righteous men in the city...except I am not sure there are that many in Washington DC. Have we already lost the country?

If you don't know by now, if the MSM touts your bona fides prior to getting appointed to anything close to an investigation into deep state corruption of the federal government...you might be a deep state traitor to We The People. Bill Barr is a fat bag of bagpipe wind. Prove me wrong and actually do one friggin' thing to earn your goldarn paycheck.

At the risk of being shouted down by the LDotter community I am going to present a different perspective on this. Although we all know that the Bidens are guilty as sin they have not been indicted or found guilty of anything yet. Therefore, Hunter’s innocence has to be presumed until proven otherwise in a court of law. If the positions were reversed a Democrat AG would send his/her minions out to every talk show in America to tell us Trump’s son was under federal investigation and we would consider it partisan and highly unprofessional. No?

I, for one, am reasonably sure that Barr's intent was to act in the legally correct manner, above all else. No way was that a political decision....

Perhaps in a coed prison, Barr'd be right by Hillary. Or maybe between Hillary and Barack.

Isn’t quietly how legitimate investigations are supposed to be conducted?
The frequent leaks from insiders about Donald Trump and associates were designed to create the narrative that they were all guilty of something. He was never a Russian Spy, nor did he need to be. The leaks and false accusations led some folks to believe the nonsense our worthless media and corrupt politicians reported consisted of facts, when it was really propaganda Democrats paid for.
Why would we want Barr participate in illegally leaking information? Seems to me he is not “hiding” anything. He is waiting to release it when it can be released legally. It’s not his job to frame Hunter Biden. It’s his job to seek justice by presenting facts exposing the hidden, illegal acts committed by the target. The fact that the Durham investigation continues seems inconsistent with the expectation everything just goes away in January. If anything, accusing Barr of hiding something seems more like a narrative designed to smear him. Dems would like nothing better than for Trump supporters to lose confidence and assume the fetal position before the fight is over.

I would like to know how the justice department and the State of Maryland handled the investigation and prosecution of Spiro Agnew. It is a similar situation, with corruption occurring before Agnew took office.
