Barr Chucks Some Anti-Mueller Red Meat But Distances Himself From ‘Obamagate’ | Talking Points Memo

Attorney General Bill Barr upped his bashing of special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia probe on Monday while also taking some wind out of the sails of the so-called “Obamagate” claims that President Trump and his allies are pushing.

Imagine if this is allowed to continue for 4.5 more years. Unthinkable.

Barr distances himself from the latest fascist outrage in the way that an arsonist distances himself from his fire.

A political party, President and AG supported by crazy billionaires and their fellow travelers, racists and xenophobes, and whacked up conspiracy theorists. Here’s another CT debunked.

“I am committed that this election will be conducted without this kind of interference. Any effort to pursue an investigation of either candidate has to be approved by me.”

Barr declared after describing how the Pensacola suspect was theorized to have met with former Secretary of State Clinton, Representatives Schiff, Nadler and Waters and international financier George Soros in the basement of Comet Pizza shortly before the incident.
Barr added, “Theories that this cabal met to provide the killer with guns, ammunition and connections to international terrorist organizations are not part of the evidence that I am currently at liberty to discuss. Those matter are part of an ongoing investigation.”

First. Trump says ObamaGATE is the biggest political scandal in the history of the United States…

This, of course laughable on its face.

There is no sense in the media arguing this with him on this as it should be clear to those with a brain stem that is nonsense.

I instead would love to see a single reporter respond with… "Sir, we understand that ObamaGATE is the worst political scandal ever… can you explain the significance of the word “Gate” in naming this scandal?

I can’t tell ya. I have ideas, but they’re little better than vague hypotheses. This virus is one nasty, insidious mofo. The QAnon of viruses.

This man is nothing short of a menace. He has gone from being a plausible figure in the legal community to medieval henchman in service of a tyrant. I don’t know what caused him to sell whatever soul he possessed, but he is bought and paid for and the price included selling out all of us.

Barr is distancing himself from “Obamagate” because he is already spying on Joe’s campaign

Translation:
“The Supreme Leader has not yet issued a directive for the DOJ – PERSECUTE THEM OR BE FIRED – to prosecute Obama or Biden. This decision is fluid, pending the polling numbers as we get closer to the November election.”

Barr is smart enough to not waste a good conspiracy on another exonerating investigation.
