The once again failure of the mainstream media is appalling and sadly not surprising. If the DOJ was used to smear the Biden’s then the Attorney General needs to begin his own investigation. So where is Mr. Garland? I don’t expect much from the media, who seem more interested in the bottom line than conducting investigatory journalism, but I do expect the DOJ to respond to the politicization of the Department.

If AG Garland were like Barr, and if Biden were like tRump, there would have been multiple investigations opened by DOJ

targeting US Attorneys, a few members of Congress, and Barr himself...and these investigations would have begun a couple of years ago!

But, sadly, Garland be Garland, and Joe Biden is too much the nice guy to go after scurrilous GOP operatives targeting his own son, for god's sake. Come to a gunfight carrying a pocketknife.

Thank you both for this Q&A.

been covered by MSM.

The press should act more like a posse with this.

Thank you. This is important. Related topics are the fall of journalism, independent newspapers and the loss of non-profit news. Also related, What did Merrick Garland know and why did he allow this corruption of democracy to continue? I'm less concerned by Biden's age than I am of the mistakes (Garland, for one) he's made, but I'll work for him even if we have to carry him across the finish line on a stretcher.

Too complicated for me. I can follow bullet points. I don’t doubt any of it. Just indict them all, c’ept Joe. He’s a good guy.

Am I oversimplifying by thinking that the hallowed 1023, that Grassley was breathlessly bloviating about all last summer on Fox, could turn out to be the smoking gun pointed at Barr and Trump?

The "Deep State" at work! Scary that a second Trump administration will be doing this while using the National Guard to round up immigrants and other "undesirables" in the name of ethnic cleaning.

Thank you for this excellent article. When will those shady senators and house members who are involved in all the crimey scandalous goings on be held accountable? Is it even possible? Meanwhile they are causing trouble and pushing on with the MAGA agenda treating the big T like he is president already…

Wow. I am losing more and more faith in the US. What a cesspool.

This isn't the US. It is part of the US, and yes, that part is a cess pool. There are criminals and they can achieve power. That's why we don't rely on faith. We work hard. Sometimes we fight. For that reason Democracy is something to take pride in. Buck up. Back to work.

I hover halfway between intrigue and my conspiracy theory alarm bells going off. It will be very interesting to see how this develops.

Wow! What investigative info. This is jam packed with so much stuff! Thanks. A good point at the end. This should be front page stuff!

Let's not forget Barr was also involved in Ken Starrs' smear campaign against Bill Clinton. The man has no ethics at all.

M McConlogue's avatar

Ethics is Barr's kryptonite. But he is a slippery tub of lard.
