U.S. Attorney General William Barr said on Monday he does not expect a Justice Department review of the FBI's handling of 2016 election interference to lead to criminal investigation of former President Barack Obama or former Vice President Joe Biden.

WASHINGTON - U.S. Attorney General William Barr said on Monday he does not expect a Justice Department review of the FBI’s handling of 2016 election interference to lead to criminal investigation of former President Barack Obama or former Vice President Joe Biden.

Federal prosecutor John Durham is reviewing the origins of the investigation of Russia’s 2016 election interference. Barr added that the election should be decided strictly on policy debates, and that any investigation of a political candidate would need to be approved by him personally. Trump has not made clear what he is accusing Obama of doing, but the allegations appear to focus on law enforcement actions taken at the end of Obama’s presidency.

When do we get to probe this half wit?

If there is no crime, whats to investigate?

I presume he may not BE targeting them. He's targeting anyone in the chain of guilt... because if ONE is guilty.... then we get to decide about the rest.

AG Barr had been getting 'Heat' from the Democrats, Well the 'Heat is 'OFF'.

Try looking at to trump and Russia , what a smoke screen. Never have been ashamed to be an American until now with a BOZO president

ObamaGate Trump realDonaldTrump WhiteHouse PressSec FoxNews seanhannity will surly fire him. This administration is full of corruption ,lies ,deceit and narrative control.

AmysandersonAmy Sorry Barr - I do not believe a word you say. You are just as big a liar & scammer as Trump. I am sure you will have something come up right before election. Your reputation will NEVER RIP!

BARR TIENE MUCHA INFORMACION PARA SABER QUE TRUMP NO GANARA LAS PRÓXIMAS ELECCIONES 2020 Y NO QUIERE QUEDAR COMO ENEMIGO DEL SUCESOR.

Shock horror.

Maybe Obama should keep his mouth shut and his head down for awhile. Let's not mess it up Barry. You can live out a nice life in your mansion or make waves and lose it all. You authorized spying on the next administration.

Any word if Putin will be targeted?

The US doesn’t go after former Presidents, no matter how corrupt.

Is he trying to get fired?

Trump spies on Biden. Bidengate!

Just wait a month. This man is a black belt in casuistry.

Shameful

If they're mouths are moving..... they're lying

Why would they? What a bunch of crooks and gangsters. America, these guys are going to take you to totalitarianism before November.

Like Pence, Barr wants theocracy. Do not trust his word on this.

'As to President Obama and Vice President Biden, whatever their level of involvement, based on the information I have today, I don't expect Mr. Durham's work will lead to a criminal investigation of either man,' Barr said.

Obama covered his tracks well.

Hummm👎

How about Obama's FBI Cyber-Security? It all went down on his watch! What kind of bullshit is that?

Going to be more fun seeing the likes of Comey getting caught.

Yeah, he lies.

Ring leaders never go to jail Mafia
