U.S. Attorney General William Barr is planning to publicly release an interim report on U.S. Attorney John Durhams probe on the origins of the Russia investigation before the presidential election, the New York Times reported Friday. Lawyers and former DOJ officials lambasted the plan, noting that departmental protocol specifically prohibits leveraging an ongoing investigation in any way to impact an upcoming election.

(25,111 posts)For DNI, DHS, DOJ and other law enforcement agencies to go out of their way falsifying against the opponent of their party in a general election which is being tampered with by any means necessary, tells me that they are losing by a large margin.
They also have no concerns about killing their own base.
These people are totally evil and are power hungry.

Bill Barr tasked U.S. Attorney John Durham with going on a witch hunt - investigating the Trump-Russia investigators - in efforts to undermine the origins of the Russia investigation, notwithstanding the fact that the Mueller Report AND the DOJ Inspector General (IG) Horowitz report AND the Senate Intelligence Committee reports all concluded that the Trump-Russia investigation was properly opened. Barr is looking for a different answer - one that helps Trump and hurts Biden. Hence, the Durham investigation.
One of Durham's top prosecutors, Nora Dannehy, abruptly resigned due to Barr pressuring Durham to issue an interim report PRIOR TO the election. Barr's conduct is dead wrong in two ways: first, prosecutors do not issue reports. In my 30 years as a federal prosecutor, I never once issued a report. Second, nothing should be done by prosecutors within 60 days of a presidential election that could impact public opinion about the candidates. Barr violates all DOJ norms, protocols, traditions and ethical standards by pressuring Durham to issue an interim report so close to the election.

how deep their schemes go with the Post Office, and with 2/3rds of Democrats voting by mail
this year, we should hand deliver our ballots wherever possible. Remember.....2/3rds of
repugs are voting in person, we can not afford NoDeJoy's games that he was put into a position
to accomplish.

(321 posts)this. Rule's and law don't apply to
repubs. That's why the Dems sit back
and boohoo! Durham stayed way beyond
his time, milking the cash.
Why don't the Dem's call for a hearing
before the release? Sometimes you can't
always react you have to go first.
