To clarify: Barr has no evidence of improprieties in the FBI investigation, including “spying,” but wants to examine the matter anyway because he has "concerns" and because, as he said, he believes spying did occur (even if he hasn’t seen evidence of it) bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…
"Barr is wading into a political and legal quagmire here and of course he knows that. He’s also, in his own soft-spoken and resolute way, dropping depth charges into the national conversation about the Trump presidency and the Trump-Russia investigation, and he knows that, too."
"Roy Cohn was a ruthless and sleazy attack dog who taught Trump how to weaponize the legal system to get his own way as a young developer in New York. Barr certainly isn’t anything like Cohn. But he’s trying." bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…
“Barr went out of his way to say that he supports and admires the FBI but that there was ‘probably a failure among a group of leaders there at the upper echelon.’ (Are you looking over your shoulders now, James Comey and Andrew McCabe?)”
