"The current investigation, a criminal probe, had begun very broadly but has since “narrowed considerably” and now “really is focused on the activities of the crossfire hurricane investigation within the FBI.""

On election:

“To date, we have not seen fraud on a scale that could have affected a different outcome in the election.”

“There’s been one assertion that would be systemic fraud and that would be the claim that machines were programmed essentially to skew the election results. And the DHS and DOJ have looked into that, and so far, we haven’t seen anything to substantiate that.”

Barr "said people were confusing the use of the federal criminal justice system with allegations that should be made in civil lawsuits. He said such a remedy for those complaints would be a top-down audit conducted by state or local officials."

Note: Durham appointment as SC happened back on Oct. 19, 2020:

I want to see full transcript of Barr's remarks.

Durham appointment a plus, narrower scope disappointing.

Barr seems to be signaling for Civil path on election:

Interesting that Durham's appointment seems broad versus Barr's quotes in AP Report. And includes the Mueller Investigation...
