Looking at this article now, with all we've learned about Barr, Hunter, Joe, and the relentless attempts to remove Trump from political power, it's hard not to wonder, 'Was Barr in on this Biden family coverup from the start?' Just let these words from Bill Barr sink in: "And to this point I have seen no reason to appoint a special counsel, and I see no reason to do so before I leave. I thought a special counsel was the right tool, I would name one, but I haven't." Experience Revolver without ads HIDE ADS NOW Bill's words and his actions reveal everything about who he is.
CNBC: Outgoing Attorney General William Barr said Monday that he saw no reason for a special counsel to take over the criminal investigation of Hunter Biden, son of President-elect Joe Biden, undercutting President Donald Trump yet again.
Trump has mulled pushing the Justice Department to appoint a special counsel for the probe, which is focused on Hunter Biden's taxes, and which is currently being handled by the U.S. attorney's office in Delaware.
"To the extent that there's an investigation, I think that it's being handled responsibly and professionally within the department," Barr said at a news conference, two days before his resignation from the Department of Justice takes effect.
"If I thought a special counsel was the right tool, I would name one, but I haven't." Barr also said that he hopes the Biden administration will handle the Hunter Biden probe "Responsibly." Appointing a special counsel is seen as one means to prevent Joe Biden or other officials in his administration from exerting any pressure on the U.S. attorney's office to go easy on Hunter Biden.
In hindsight, trusting Bill Barr was clearly not the best move.
To be fair to President Trump, for a while there, it looked as if Barr might actually give a hoot about justice and the law.
