Attorney General William Barr sat for an extended interview with NBC’s Pete Williams to discuss the ... Inspector General report released yesterday afternoon. NBC has cut the thing up in a couple of stories, but it has also posted the whole thing on YouTube (24-minute video below).Barr is familiar with the evidence gathered so far; he knows what he’s talking about. He understands that what we have staring us in the face is an unprecedented political scandal. He tentatively anticipates the criminal investigation reaching “a watershed†by late spring or early summer. I urge interested readers to watch the whole thing. The interview is invaluable in its entirety.I’m not sure whether Pete Williams is just playing the fool for purposes of the interview, whether he is a fool, or whether he is handicapped by the fact that he gets his news from NBC News. Whatever the case, everything he elicits from Barr is of interest....Quotable quote (all dates in 2016): “What I find particularly inexplicable is that [the Obama administration] talked to the Russians, but not to the [Trump] presidential campaign. On August 4 Brennan ... calls the head of Russian intelligence and says, ‘We know what you’re up to. You better stop it.’ He did it again later in August. And then President Obama talked to President Putin in September ... . So they go and confront the Russians, who clearly are the bad buys, and they won’t go and talk to the [Trump] campaign…â€
BARR IS ON THE CASESounds like Brennan and Obama were so invested in what they believed but had no evidence of that they thought telling the Russians was a trap in which the Russians would warn Trump and Trump would then be caught. Except there was no Trump-Russia Collusion, hence no warning to Trump. The Russians probably had another good laugh at Obama's expense.
The more I see Barr, the more am thinking the guy would make a good Supreme Court justice.Would it not be an ultimate slap that he be Trump's nominee to replace Ginsburg when she is found facedown?
