Attorney General William Barr said Barack Obama and Joe Biden are unlikely to be under criminal investigation in a review of the Russia probe that began in 2016 — addressing simmering accusations by President Donald Trump against his predecessor and his 2020 opponent.
Barr said he was attempting to curtail the politicization of Justice Department investigations, yet his comments could fan speculation from right-wing commentators.
"Whatever their level of involvement based on the level of information I have today, I don't expect Mr. Durham's work will lead to a criminal investigation of either man," Barr said at a press conference, referring to the US Attorney John Durham's ongoing review of the early Russia investigation, which ultimately led to the appointment of special counsel Robert Mueller to examine election interference and coordination with the Trump campaign.
"Our concern over potential criminality is focused on others," Barr added.
#Barr #CNN #News
When trump shows his taxes we can talk about Obama ..
@Josh Edmonds Still more articulate than Trump, so what’s your point? A lot of Americans are stoners, even supposedly ‘honourable’ ones.
He already had his taxes leaked and he actually paid a higher percentage than Supreme Communist leader Bernie Sanders. The leak “backfired” on Democrats.
@Josh Edmonds he went to harvard………. and who’s not a stoner lol. At least he went to school the right way; instead of buying your way to school lol.
@Wade French Leaked, yea, 1 year (2005). He only paid higher taxes when you add in payroll taxes (not personal taxes). We know NOTHING about the more recent years, I don’t think taxes 20 years ago really count when you compare that all other recent candidates released recent and many years worth.
Try again to make this something relevant!
Let the IRS take care of tax returns. Mind your own business.
IF THERE WAS A CRIME, DURHAM WOULD HAVE ALREADY CAME OUT & SPRAYED IT ALL OVER THE TV😠🖕
“as long as I am attorney general the department of Justice won’t be used for partisan politics”. LOL LITTLE LATE FOR THAT STATEMENT, YA THINK? Good Lord he is such a liar.
He is probably just scared to go even deeper than he already is
The next rat fleeing the sinking ship.
@Domino Ryan you are blindly ignorant it actually proved she lies and Broke the Law.
Just that Comey let her ride because he claimed she had no intent.
Tell the cop next time you get pulled over for speeding you had no intent to speed, and see if he walks away.
The whole Russian Collusion Delusion was a Hoax and Lie ..
If you seek Truth and Honesty go read the declassified documents.

@De Von He should be!
@Wade French Trump absolutely brought Barr in to get him off.
It’s refreshing to see a man who thinks he’s the best at everything, thinks he’s the greatest of all time, a man who constantly beats his own chest and blows his own Trumpet, flounder in the realty of his own lack of ability.
@J – same with the liberals sitting on their moral high horse.
@James Miller that’s impossible!even though I ‘d love not to see your stable idiot any more
@Dameian Jones 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@J – PRESIDENT Obama was all that, look at the moron in charge now, but you can’t FIX STUPID….IDIOT😂🖕
I feel like throwing up everytime I hear the LIAR in office talk….
same
THATS WHY WE THE PEOPLE WANT YOU IMPEACHED AND JAILED!😠😠😠
“Trump ‘surprised’ by Barr’s Obama comments” because they essentially declare our President Trump’s claims to be lies.
well from what I have seen since this came out..his following is now accusing Barr of being part of the fictional “Deep State” lol
This fool still hasn’t said what the “it” is…
What “It” was, was “to be young, healthy, intelligent, capable, black & have integrity!”
@MaxMisterC Amen
I can answer that for you, ya (fellow) libtard… The “it” is really clear…Its so clear when I tell you what “it” is…
Ok, here it comes….wait for it….
Squirrel…..Look over there….Squirrel
Lol
@Joseph Goforth kinda like SCHIFFs documents proving Trump was in with the Russians?
You know what it is, every body knows, and it should have never have happened, it was the worst thing to do to a president and they should be in jail for it!
trump has no understanding of the word “honourable”
“I won’t let the DOJ be used for political vendettas” does every political favor Trump asks of him to date.
Press X to doubt.
X
O to RUN
X
Like you said, totally out of character with previous actions.
X
“based on the information I have today” remember that quote, he’ll use it as a crutch to change his mind soon.
Yes!Trust nothing they say or do..
I hire the best criminals
President Clorox
I like the nickname… I call him,Orange Death, based on his response to covid-19 and russian involvement.
“as long as I am AG…” We know what that means
HE MAY BE SAYING THAT TO USE WHEN IT COME TO INVESTIGATING
ANYTHING CONCERNING TRUMP IN THE NEAR FUTURE .
I love how these people in Republican Washington keep referring to “it.” Someone needs to explain to them that a pronoun has no meaning unless it has an antecedent, a noun it is replacing.
But you get the message so it’s clear.
@Jerry Moody lol
“As long as I’m attorney general the department of Justice will not be used as a political weapon” hilarious the only way that would be true as if he added ‘anymore’ to the end of that. I would be glad to hear him say that if Barr didn’t have the habit of saying one thing and doing the other
Dustin James / I CANT STOP LAUGHING!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂
They’ve gone after the Clintons for 40 years. Still are.
He’s covering up for something more important. It will come out soon enough.
Trump is not staying out of it, if he were he’d shut up.
John Goodman has to play Barr in the movie, Trump: The Failure.
Yes!!!!
Yes!
Tom Bosley (if he was alive)…Barr even sounds like him
But didn’t Goodman lose the weight?
Thats so Funny!! here in Canada we lock up the Mentaly Insain.. and in america, you elect him president!!
There in Canada you elect effeminate weak boys !!
😂😄
Indeed.
