Barr had no control over the case after he resigned in Dec 2020.a fan wrote: ↑Sat Jun 22, 2024 10:39 amThat's right! Just as we discussed MONTHS ago, and as I told you yesterday....Barr looked into Ukraine.

He makes no mention of Weiss. He makes no mention of Hunter's tax case. He expressed frustration with Guliani. He said he had little confidence in anything that came out of Ukraine & he could not implicate VP Biden for having the Ukrainian prosecutor fired to help Hunter with Burisma.
And that's fine. But maybe tone it down with me, and realize all I'm doing is addressing IDEAS, and the ridiculousness that there's a conspiracy to help Hunter and Joe. It's clear as day that this isn't true....and you're clearly piecing this all together today, after calling me an idiot.
I have thick skin, so call me what you want if it makes you happy. But maybe take a look around......I'm addressing TeamTinFoil nonsense, and I handle it alllll the same. Whether Jan6th, or Covid, or whatever. This isn't personal.
if I thought you were too stupid to understand this stuff, I'd just walk away.......but you're NOT stupid. And should be able to handle having your ideas challenged when they make no sense without getting upset.
And that's all fine.old salt wrote: ↑Sat Jun 22, 2024 5:28 am In his final news conference, when asked if he would appoint a SC to conduct the reported investigation of Hunter. He responded that he was confident that the case was being handled by DoJ lawyers. Based on his book, it reads like Hunter's case was below his radar horizon. He had more important issues to deal with.
But that doesn't mean that:
A. the case wasn't Barr's responsibility. It was. The management choices made were HIS choices. So if you agree with the WB's (and clearly you don't anymore), you have to hold Barr accountable for his role.
B. that he didn't personally choose to move the case to Delaware. Again: where do you think the Whistleblower's offices were located? It wasn't Delaware. Personally? As I've told you before, Barr had to move the case somewhere. His choice of HQ was a nothingburger, and neither right nor wrong. It was a choice. That's it.
Due to covid, the case had not been before a grand jury for an indictment yet. That's why it had not leaked.
Just before covid (Dec 2019), a Wilminington grand jury ok'd a subpoena for the FBI to take custody of the laptop from MacIssac.
In Barr's final press conf he said the matter was still under investigation by DoJ lawyers.
Weiss has been in charge of the case the whole time.
The decision Barr made to assign the case to DE made sense. There were other investigations of Hunter that the IRS WB's were not aware of.
Since there were no indictments by the time Barr left office, you dismiss the whole prosecution as a tin foil hat conspiracy.
I agree with the WB's who were frustrated that the SOL for 2014-2015 ran. You assert that the WB's blame that on Barr specifically.
They did not. They blamed it on Wolf & Wess, by name, after Barr was gone.
