Barr expects 'developments' from Durham's Russia investigation by the end of summer

Attorney General William Barr said he expects there to be “developments” in U.S. Attorney John Durham’s investigation into the Russia investigation this summer even as he hinted it would continue through the November election.

Barr, who appointed the Connecticut federal prosecutor last year after Trump gave the attorney general full declassification authority to look into the Trump-Russia saga, made the comments during an interview with Maria Bartiromo on Sunday Morning Futures on Fox News, pointing to what he saw as the “collapse” of the Russian collusion narrative.

“It’s been stunning that all we’ve gotten from the mainstream media is sort of bovine silence in the face of the complete collapse of the so-called Russiagate scandal, which they did all they could to sensationalize and drive, and it’s like not even a ‘whoops.’ They’re just on to the next false scandal,” Barr said. “In terms of the future of Durham’s investigation, he’s pressing ahead as hard as he can, and I expect that we will have some developments, hopefully before the end of the summer, but as I’ve said, his investigation will continue. It’s not going to stop because of the election. What happens after the election may depend on who wins the election.”

The FBI's counterintelligence investigation into the Trump campaign's ties to Russia, code-named Crossfire Hurricane, began in the summer of 2016. It was later wrapped into Robert Mueller’s special counsel investigation, which concluded Russia interfered in 2016 in a “sweeping and systematic fashion" but “did not establish” any criminal conspiracy between the Russians and the Trump campaign.

Barr made many public statements indicating he gets it; Comey’s FBI was broken. I think he cares about restoring public trust in the FBI, and he’s done nothing to indicate that he’s just twiddling his thumbs waiting to retire from public life.

Look, unless Barr is stringing Trump along I don’t think he’s stringing us along. Trump has had nearly a full term of betrayal by administration staff under his belt and I don’t think he’s being naïve about Barr’s intentions. I believe he’s gotten assurances.

I expect we will see action and results.

Riiight!   Notice... how justice is always right around every corner.   Wait just a little longer.  It'll finally happen.  Honest!  (how to keep a nation of turkeys in suspense..."we'll tell ya later")

How naive do they think we are?   (rhetorical)

This isn’t a simple one perp burglary case. Many parts and many layers must be peeled away and locked down tight in order to secure convictions. And no doubt there are preemptive maneuvering by defense attorneys to stall and delay the investigation. I could be wrong but I don’t think I am.

Uh huh.  I've heard all the "splains".   Not buying it.   

I also can't forget those pesky facts .... like.... Barr's connection with Mueller (wives bible study together?).  I think they are selling us one really long (four years long) bill of goods (load of crap).

I could be wrong but I'm sure I'm not.

The clock is nearly out.

And then it will all simply disappear.

You mean if Trump loses re-election? If he does then you are right—poof goes the weasel.

But, if he wins, for the record and his legacy, Trump will not let this go.

Trump will have his hands full (and tied) with another BS Impeachment.  You can make bank on it.  "This" will all be swept under the DC rug like everything else that's happened by the deep state.  And yeah, that is one nasty, dirty rug by now.   And if Trump loses, which I don't think he will, the site would need to be nuked from orbit.  It's the only way.  Just to be sure.

LOL. I’m saving up for a bottle of Cristal or Dom Perignon (depending which I can afford) when Trump wins. If he loses I’ve got a case of Mad Dog 20/20 waiting.

If he loses, there is no amount of booze that would help or fix anything, IMO.   I don't think it's quite time for our complete doom yet, though.  So I'll just have a toast of that Korbel I saved from NY Eve (can't afford Dom).

You have obviously never seen the Castle Bar.   

The Cyber Household is prepared for any eventuality.  Plenty of booze, guns and ammo.  A redneck's dream, seasoned with some Cuantro, Absinthe and Crown Royale. You are automatically invited if the SHTF.

Justice is just around the same corner as prosperity was for America's workers during the depression, the difference is that during the depression Americans actually turned the corner.

Justice is just around the same corner as prosperity was for America's workers during the depression, the difference is that during the depression Americans actually turned the corner.

And the obvious difference is.... American individuals made that happen.   But getting justice in this political environment is way beyond yours, mine or our control.   Unfortunately.   At least... unless or until we decide to water that tree (again).
