The problem is that there are two types of lies that Barr is willing to employ. One can be detected quickly. The other often takes time to uncover, and by that point, Barr may already have succeeded in his goal.
Based on Barrs track record, its important for the public to realize now that they cant take Barrs word on what Durham actually has found. The urgency of bracing people to disbelieve the attorney general increased dramatically on Tuesday, as Barr was asked whether hed apply long-standing Justice Department policy not to announce politically sensitive new cases before an election by holding Durhams findings until after Nov. 3. Barrs answer was, for him, a rarity in its clarity: He said no.
Durhams investigation has become Barrs pet project. Durhams main task is an investigation of the investigators who tried to understand and protect the United States against Russian election interference in 2016. We dont know what Durham will conclude, but were confident in this: Barr will likely distort those conclusions in a way favorable to President Trumps political ambitions. That goal seems to have driven Barrs public anticipation of developments from Durham before the end of the summer that is, in time to influence the November election.

(31,045 posts)His connection to Epstein, his familys involvement, his history of coverups, and egregious lying under oath. Harp on it, repeat it, the way they do with Strok and Page. No nuance, just attack, exaggerate. Let their fact checkers try to disprove it. This man is evil and a threat to the country we love.

(22,166 posts)believes anything they say (Barr, trump, entire trump administration), period.
It started w/ Comey and Barr is simply doubling down (on top of all of rump's 20,000 lies too).
Lie after lie after lie after lie...no one knows what to believe whatever this totally incompetent administration says anyway and besides, everybody will automatically assume that it is a lie anyways.
Biden has already warned of this, and I expect is fully ready for any 'October' surprises, I wouldn't be surprised one bit if Biden has tens of thousands of lawyers waiting on the sidelines, papers ready to file w/ the Courts, anything and everything in case these scumbags try anything and everything to taint election results.
