Attorney General Barr Issues New Rules For Politically Sensitive Investigations

He couldnt prosecute a sitting president no matter what which is why the job was left to congress.

 

Thank you for further demonstrating your lack of understanding.

 

Did you see the words Congress or Senate in that article? The rule has nothing to do with Congressional oversite. It is talking about the abuses by the FBI in seeking FISA Warrants. The FBI director James Comey and the AG Lynch said they did not have any oversite of FBI's actions in obtaining those Warrants. The claim that they did not know that the FBI lied, omitted information, and changed documents as the IG Report stated. This ruling states that any attempt by the FBI will have to be approved by the AG. This includes any investigation of the Presidential Candidates.

Try actually reading the article next time.

 

or when Congress is full of Trump haters?

 

Barr is the head of the DOJ, His title is Attorney General of the United States. He has the legal authority to create these requirements. They don't have any authority over Congress.
Spending 31 MILLION dollars investigating nonexistent peepee tapes wouldn't have anything to do with this new decision.

Or maybe none of this collateral damage and abuse of power would have anything to do with it:

DoJ Fired/Resigned/Demoted

• John Carlin – Assistant Attorney General – Head of DOJ’s National Security Division - Resigned - FISA Abuses
• Sally Yates – Deputy Attorney General & Acting Attorney General - Fired

• Sally Moyer (FBI) – Attorney
• Dana Boente (DOJ/FBI) – Acting Head of DOJ’s National Security Division
• Edward O’Callaghan (DOJ) – Acting Assistant Attorney General and Acting Head of DOJ’s National Security Division

Or maybe the other five investigations that are ongoing after the corrupt conduct of some of the individuals in the DOJ and FBI:

1. The case of former national security adviser Michael Flynn
Attorney General Bill Barr appointed the U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Missouri Jeff Jensen to review the case of former national security adviser Michael Flynn. Justice Department officials told Fox News that Jensen will work hand-in-hand with Brandon Van Grack — the lead prosecutor on the Flynn case — during his review.

2. Ukraine information
Barr last week confirmed that the Justice Department is reviewing information about Ukraine coming from President Trump’s personal attorney Rudy Giuliani and others. Barr has tapped U.S. Attorney from the Western District of Pennsylvania Scott Brady to handle that Ukraine information.

3. Durham probe into origins of Russia investigation
Last year, Barr appointed U.S. Attorney from Connecticut John Durham to review the events leading up to the 2016 presidential election and through Trump’s January 20, 2017 inauguration. But, as Fox News first reported, Durham has since expanded his investigation to cover a post-election timeline spanning the spring of 2017 — when Mueller was appointed as special counsel.

4. Clinton Foundation, Uranium One
In November 2017, then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions directed U.S. Attorney for Utah John Huber and other senior prosecutors to evaluate “certain issues” involving the sale of Uranium One and alleged unlawful dealings related to the Clinton Foundation.

5. FISA warrant, Clinton server document release
In April 2018, the Justice Department appointed U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois John Lausch to oversee the gathering of documents in response to a subpoena issued by the House Judiciary Committee in an effort to obtain materials related to the FBI’s probe into Hillary Clinton’s private email server and potential Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) abuses.

Or maybe the other investigations into Brennan and how he handled (or didn't handle) Russian interference into our 2016 elections.

Durham scrutinizing John Brennan’s handling of Russian interference in 2016
"Durham, who was selected by Attorney General William Barr in 2019 to look into the origins of the Trump-Russia investigation and the government’s response to Moscow’s meddling, is investigating whether Brennan’s CIA was attempting to keep other agencies in the dark as he pushed for a specific, preconceived analytic assessment about Russia’s true intentions in 2016, the New York Times reported Thursday.

The top Connecticut prosecutor’s team reviewed emails from the CIA, FBI, and National Security Agency analysts who came together to assess Russia’s interference, the new report revealed, and Durham’s investigators pressed for answers about why some agencies at least temporarily denied other agencies access to secretive intelligence about the Kremlin’s active-measures campaign"
