Can the House do anything to block this? Take it to court? IANAL, but it seems like a case could be made on Constitutional grounds, that the political party in power shouldn’t be able to determine whether its own elections can be investigated for wrongdoing.
And other than that, yeah, it’s up to the whistleblowers now.

There were Seven Dwarfs. There are only six today at TPM.
Barring a Canadian Invasion, only we can save ourselves. And I would like some BooBird Effort here: Since we are Doomed, let’s have some suicide kits, reverse barrel guns and maps to all tall buildings in Every City.
I am serious. WHAT’S the plan, Gloomies?
A subpeona every week asking the DoJ if a request has been made to investigate a campaign.
Barr: I have granted permission for the FBI to investigate Adam Schiff’s presidential campaign.
FBI: But Schiff isn’t running for president and we’re not investigating him.
Barr: I HAVE GRANTED PERMISSION.
And permission will only be granted for campaigns involving Democratic candidates.
The Republican campaigns get a waiver.
The guidelines also require that the FBI inform department heads of any plans to open other “politically sensitive” investigations, such as probes into congressional campaigns or illegal campaign contributions from “foreign nationals.”
This is the key part. See the campaign bag man open a briefcase full of rubles? Can’t investigate that without Barr’s say-so.
This says nothing about Russia, Ukraine, China, North Korea, Saudi Arabia, etc. etc. etc.
I assume that LowBarr has given them carte blanc, as long as it’s one of Donnie’s enemies?
Just read it when you get a chance . Here we go again
The money shot
"The Government of the National Revolution basically regards it as its duty, in accordance with the spirit of the Volk’s vote of confidence, to prevent the elements which consciously and intentionally negate the life of the nation from exercising influence on its formation. The theoretical concept of equality before the law shall not be used, under the guise of equality, to tolerate those who despise the laws as a matter of principle or, moreover, to surrender the freedom of the nation to them on the basis of democratic doctrines. The Government will, however, grant equality before the law to all those who, in forming the front of our Volk against this danger, support national interests and do not deny the Government their assistance.

THE LAST DAY OF THE WEIMAR REPUBLIC
Open season on cheating and criminal acts.
“Therefore, he wrote, the DOJ “must be sensitive to safeguarding the department’s reputation for fairness, neutrality and nonpartisanship.””
The measure of Barr’s sincerity is inversely proportional to how long it takes him to resign.
Don’t worry, Rudy’s on it already. Indeed, he never stopped.
Is this even legal? Leaving aside for the moment that these people don’t particularly care about the law to begin with, I literally can’t see how the FBI can be prohibited from launching an investigation of ANYBODY if they receive allegations or suspicions of wrongdoing now matter who the perp is. Furthermore, this is so transparent by Barr what he is doing that it should be laughable.
