In what the media is calling AG Bill Barr’s final official duty while in office, AG Bill Barr announced today he will not be appointing a special counsel to look into accusations of fraud in the 2020 election; and he will not be appointing a special counsel to look into Hunter Biden’s financial -influence selling – entanglements with foreign governments.
“I have not seen a reason to appoint a special counsel and I have no plan to do so before I leave.”
The Attorney General used a press conference announcing charges against the bomb-maker in the 1988 Lockerbie terrorist attack on Pan-Am 103 to answer questions from the media about the election and the Biden controversy.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Attorney General William Barr used his final public appearance to undercut President Donald Trump on multiple fronts Monday, saying he saw no reason to appoint a special counsel to look into the president’s claims about the 2020 election or to name one for the tax investigation of President-elect Joe Biden’s son.
In the course of breaking with Trump on matters that have been consuming the president, Barr also reinforced the belief of federal officials that Russia was behind a massive hack of U.S. government agencies, not China as Trump had suggested.
[…] Barr said the Justice Department’s existing investigation into Hunter Biden’s financial dealings was “being handled responsibly and professionally.” (more)

Oooh, I like that name: Bilbo Bagpipes! Hope you don’t mind if I use that!
I guess he did not want to piss off any future prospective rich democrat clients. What a loser. Cover up artist nothing more.
Will Assistant AG Rosen appoint a special counsel? Likely not.
President Trump can appoint a special prosecutor. We need to quit passing the buck to the DOJ. It is now up to Trump to appoint and if he does not, he is no better than Barr.
When will you learn? It’s NOT a party thing. There are assholes on both sides and the GOP are as bad at covering up.
Thanks for nothing, Bill Barr.
You aren’t much better than Eric Holder or Loretta Lynch.
What a wasted opportunity.
Eric Holder and Lynch were way better AG’S than Barr they stood up for their boy Bar stabbed his in the back.
Bet Bush is proud!
Agreed, since my pet theory is he was installed partially, to protect Halper and, indirectly the Bush family. Be certain, Barr is confident he has that shit buried deeper than the JFK assassination files.
Ackman, + + for the insight that Barzinni is much more than one who shirks and concedes to the current criminal activity. BagPipes did have the opportunity to address full on true keystone issues in our political and corporate culture. Barr surrendered like a cheap bagman.
Bagpipes Bill has been fighting to maintain his position in the DC Cocktail Party Circuit, not We the People.
No, thats not it.
If you haven’t seen Bongino’s podcast today, check it out.
The only thing missing about Barr is how he sat on the critical information during the Ukraine impeachment hoax.
At least there is no more controversy as to whose side that useless coverup artist was on.
I’ll be watching it, but the title brings to mind “No s**t, Sherlock?” and “Thank you, Captain Obvious”:
Ep. 1419 Is This An Enormous Coverup?
In these types of circumstances, my ever polite mother used to quip an old saying “here’s your hat, what’s your hurry?” – meaning, as I like to say nowadays…. G.T.F.O. already…..
Hard to “see a reason” when he refuses to look.
A commie originated voting machine expressly designed for stealing elections was seen to have switched 6000 votes from Trump to Biden and who managed to take a look at the machine?
Was it DOJ, issuing a warrant? No, it took a guy who lost the vote on his pot business by one vote winning a court case. Because Bill Barr refused to EVER do his actual job.
All he ever did was cover for the criminals in his department and for America’s enemies across the nation and the world.
<blockquote>Back in 1992, the last time Bill Barr was U.S. attorney general, iconic New York Times columnist William Safire referred to him as “Cover-up General Barr” because of his role in burying evidence of then-President George H. W. Bush’s involvement in “Iraqgate” and “Iran-Contra”.</blockquote>

The crackpot author of the linked story indicated that Barr’s only purpose was to cover up President Trump’s crimes? BS
But it’s nice when your enemies prove your point, but are too ignorant to see what he would be covering up. In other words, they’ve proved the point I was making here long ago that he’s a coverup artist while also proving how CLUELESS they are. Win-win.
I previously posted a link LONG AGO to a long article detailing Barr’s involvement in Iran-Contra and the cover-up which, incredibly, involved even more blatantly illegal activities that SpyGate, a link to a copy of his memo at the CIA to resume document destruction in violation of the Church Committee’s ban of that during their COINTELPRO investigation, and his creation of the legal justification to invade Panama to shut up/punish CIA Iran-Contra drug smuggling former buddy gone rogue, Manuel Noriega, less than one year after a former director of the CIA, George H. W. Bush, became president.
Speaking of the Panama invasion, I happened upon this thread yesterday. It was the 31st anniversary.
It tells quite a different story than I remember
Anyone else of the opinion that appointing Durham as SC was done to prolong the ‘investigation’ indefinitely in the event PDJT won?
Why escalate an investigation that has so far found one – single – solitary ‘crime’ and that too was a ‘typo’?
This is like the drunk looking for his key under a street lamp … If I refuse to see, what does it matter, where I look?
Had everyone fooled for quite some time.
Sundance was right along. I’ll eat the crow for doubting him.
Barr guy is a piece of crap. I wouldn’t let the sphincter orifice resign – I’d fire his ass.
I’d still fire him retroactively
This is my Big Picture take on Barr’s final speech to our nation. He started with the CIA and apparently once an agent, always an agent. He seemed sad to me because surely he knows where our country is headed, yet he appears almost helpless and reminisces about Scotland and how much he appreciates their police force. REALLY SAD. Maybe he’s signalling we should quickly find somewhere else to live overseas! I don’t believe he doesn’t know this election WAS STOLEN by our Deep State. But his superiors (not Trump) have made his marching orders clear.
I have watched all these lawyers (Barr, Wray, Rosenstein, etc.) who have dual loyalties to Big Business as corporate attorneys and yet have enmeshed themselves into positions as so-called public servants that are supposed to be for the benefit of us, the citizens of the United States. I remember when Brennan told Wray to “stay strong” on MSNBC in May of this year. What former CIA agent from an opposing administration gives directives to the FBI Director under a president he clearly despises? It’s clues like that which lead me to believe we have not had a say in “our” government for a very long time.
But exposure to light is a good thing regardless. We now know what’s at stake and we still each have a free will to decide what we value the most. My faith in Christ keeps me sane in these uncertain times. It’s time for us to really see what the uniparty has been hiding from us all along while abusing our trust. I believe God will show us in the days ahead what our purpose for such a time is and He will give us the courage that is needed. But we can’t play their games any longer. Those days are over.
Barr’s cowardice will follow him to his grave
Well, the coward will be safe there, in his grave, because he is lower than worm sweat so they will not bother his corpse.
He has the nickname of “Bondo Barr” for a reason.
Et tu Bill Barr.
Enjoy your Christmas.
Maybe when Trump appoints someone not swamp infested to be the next AG they can convene a special counsel to investigate Barrg-a55
Sidney Powell was reportedly at the White Hose again last night and told CNN it was ‘none of their damned business’ when they asked why. My guess is she will be the SC.
I don’t think Sidney Powell would want the job.
USELESS! Traitor! Backstabbing piece of sh!t!
Well at least you can polish a turd, not so much he!
His payoff (Book deal) would be in jeopardy. Is his departure day a milestone to receive lifetime government benefits ?
Mr President you should have fired him long ago.
Who in the hell would be compelled to read a book written by BagPipes Barr?
I read a theory not so long ago about all these traitors and their book deals. Essentially they were just a means for laundering money into their accounts for being good little tools. Companies will buy their books in bulk and just shove them in a warehouse somewhere. The real writers (because these people are just consultants at best) will get their cut and the subjects of the books get their cherry-on-top interviews in the legacy media for $100k a minute.
couldn’t agree more.
Lon Horiuchi might.
I don’t believe he needs a thing from a book deal or government benefits. I read recently that Barr is worth somewhere around 40 Million.
Not sure any of his motivation was ever money. I think Sundance is 100% correct that he was installed to protect the DOJ institution, of which he had been a player several times. Even shit heads can be altruistic.
He saved the institution and multiple people. We and the rest of the country are collateral damage. And that my friends is exactly how we are viewed by the “masters of the universe”.
How is the DOJ institution saved when no one believes it fulfills its duty, and is instead the power projection platform of the radical left?
What did I miss?
Sundance has outlined it multiple times over the last few years. I am not going to rehash it again.
People aren’t reading some of Sundance’s research.
???? I don’t think so. He has written many times that Barr’s job and his interest was in saving the “integrity” of the Doj.
I can not think of one thing Barr or the DOJ FBI has done that the US Marshalls can not do or state and local Police. They have really become useless as far as their service to us.
Does the SES run all USA government institutions now while those that head it publicly are just figure heads? I wonder.
I’ll assume we have all grown up with, and do understand what used to be known as “sound bites” (are they still?).
As I watched AG Barr today, and saw “news” outtakes, I was cutting up ALL of the ‘sound bites”myself that could/would be used against President Trump and administration.
Traitorous! As IF I haven’t been informed about ALL of the election discrepancies (being diplomatic lmao), as well as the lack of reporting by the MSM concerning events of national interest.
IMHO, we all need to “organize”…yet I would NOT want to involve this particular TCTH blog site to do so.
The wheels and cogs in my brain are burning and turning – trust that!!
Bleep,
Likely one of the reasons for the press conference. More slop for the pigs at the trough, or what we used to call journalists. Sorry pigs, didn’t mean to insult you tasty fellers.
Barr fiddles (Pan-Am 103, 32 years ago) while Rome burns (over a third of US citizens think the election was rigged).
Excellent statement! (Although I don’t understand your saying over ⅓ of US citizens think the election was rigged. There are almost 331,000,000 million citizens in America and if we say that all 74 million who voted for Trump believe the election was rigged, which I think is probably a reasonable assumption, that’s only 22%, not 33%.). What am I missing?
Not ALL Democrats are dummies.
How many of the 331……are children or don’t vote…..stop being stupid….over 74% OF republicans and over 30 % of independents 17% dems….of course this is from memory and also this is a poll…..so put stock in a poll? not me. But I chose to believe poeple for the most part have some sense and if they don’t nit pick like you I would bet more than 50% know it was stolen.
Bannon said today that the percentage who now say they believe it was stolen is very close to 50%.
Narcissism so great he can’t fathom he is not at center of the world making all decisions SIT DOWN Barr ,clean out your desk and Go
His attitude now sounds like resentment of somebody who was indeed fired
Good!!!
Coward, Served the Deep State well.
So the deep stater throws off his disguise…. I am really curious, what was his going “price”… 20 pieces of silver?
Like Sessions, Whittaker, Radcliffe, Nunes, Huber,Durham, Graham, Grassley and all the other gas bags, Barr had his opportunity to serve this great nation. But all he could do was talk.
Not Nunes, and maybe not Ratcliffe.
Don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out. BTW no thanks for your “service”.
Tick tock Barr talked a good game. Claimed against a two tiered system of justice and that the public had a right to know what happend in the Russian Hoax. On record stating that a report was coming in May, then early summer then early fall then….
Sickening Deep State plant who ignored in your face criminality and worked to gather and hide all incriminating evidence.
Yes, that’s what he did.
Its said “patience is a virtue.” Its a virtue b/c it can be absolutely agonizing. Waiting and believing that justice will be done and having your hopes (and trust) dashed again and again is … truly agonizing and exhausting.
Just when you think your “Despise Meter” has reached its limit, along comes another Swamp Rat POS taking it to another level.
Just one more cowardly lie for the collective, before you go, eh Bill.
You sir are a disgrace to the people of this country.
This seems more like Barr consulting with the Bush presidency instead of the Trump presidency. He have just said nothing. He says things to push directions. Failure to serve.
It is now very clear why all of the surveillance by the Obama Administration using our intelligence agencies was done. It was done to gather information on high level political, judicial and administrative people in DC as well as the rest of the country. It was used to extort those people into doing the bidding of the Obama Cabal. SCJC Roberts, AGs Sessions and Barr, Republican Senators, Governors in the swing States, key State and US legislative members and various members of the judiciary at all levels have to perform as commanded or risk exposure as a pedo, bizzare pervert, creeper, venal, spouse abuser, college cheat or whatever skeleton or skeletons sat in their closets.
Barr seems to roll over and play dead every time someone goes, “Bang!”
Absolutely. The American Stasi has been in full swing since the Patriot Act. They have the goods on every single American citizen.
Pioneered by Hillary with the Travelgate files.
On a wild hair I looked through our US AG’s going back through the 60’s. I looked at both Acting and Confirmed. Out of all the more recent AG’s the only one that would be worth killing was Robert Bork.
We have been screwed for longer than I had imagined. For sure, longer than I have been alive.
Might want to check out what Barr did on Ruby Ridge where people died;)
From the Declaration of Independence with [ ] added: That whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter [Defcon 3] or to abolish it [Defcon 2], and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw [Defcon 1] off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security.
I wonder at which Defcon (3, 2 or 1) Jefferson would place us at the end of 2020. IMHO he would agree that during the last 9 months of 2020, we have sprinted past Defcon 2.
David- it appears we are already at Defcon 3 according to this brilliant article from American Thinker:
https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2020/12/our_crisis_already_is_at_defcon3.html
Lon Horiuchi concurs!!!!!!!
I can understand a Washington outsider (Trump) being led astray by insiders they believe are on their side
As bad as cutthroat New York business politics are, our President was not ready for, nor could he comprehend, the sheer depths of depravity Washington players will go to protect their own interests, and that’s why he’s had Deep State snakes, people he thought would work in the peoples interests, thwart him at every turn
He was lied to and stabbed in the back by almost everyone he put his trust in
His mistake, just like the mistake we the people made, is being a normal person, a person who puts his trust into other Americans working for the people and getting paid to represent them
Normal people, while they might understand there’s some corruption and deal making in Washington to line the politicians pockets, couldn’t fathom the degree to which the evil goes
President Trump thought he was appointing normal Americans who would work for the American people, and he was given advice by what he thought were normal Americans too
Again, normal people wouldn’t think an American politician or government official would sell out their country for profit. They wouldn’t think American politicians would be working for China or other foreign countries. They wouldn’t think well paid American politicians simply wouldn’t give a damn about the future of their country and their children
I wish the President would have realized it sooner, but we we’re all bamboozled. None of us new the true depths of corruption and criminality the filthy, treasonous scumbags who sit in the seats of power would go to
We’d all better pray Trump gets his legal second term, as it turns out it took one full term for him, and us, to truly realize what was going on
Trumps second term will be the “Kracken”
Yes.
Fixer gonna fix…
Bill Barr is revolting. Personally and spiritually.
Hygienically?
?
The insane porkulus bill and the bloated swamp toad belching on his way out. All in one day. America needs help desperately.
It’s all here in this short thread.

Comey2.0
Calling Joe DiGenova! Calling Victoria Tonseng. Calling Sean Hannity. Calling Qanon.
Trust the plan, folks. Trust the plan.
They’re saving it for their books. You’ll run out and buy those wont you? /s
Crickets from them..
Eff Bondo Barr. He’s a useless POS.
Trump can and should have already appointed the special counsel. I think Trump is being too shy about this whole election steal. He should be raising holy hell every day and putting pressure on every Republican state legislator and Gov. in the contested states. He should refuse to support the uniparty commies in Ga. until the Gov. calls a special session and tosses out the Biden electors. He should have already fired that useless Romney as Republican committee chairperson and get rid of that Mark Meadows and Cipollini or whatever his name is.
Romney knew the dems were going to flood the election with mail in ballots to steal the election. Trump told the world and we all knew, yet she did not do diddly crap to stop it. I’m fed up with the whole damn thing. We have been royally screwed and we get insulted by a 2.3 trillion porkulus bill in which we get a paltry $600. An insult. They can take my $600 and shove it. And Trump keeps signing this crap.
Concern noted. And his name is President Trump.
And it always will be.
I think PDJT is dealing with a global CCP, maybe Russian, crisis too at the moment. The infiltration into the databases of many US Govt agencies is quite catastrophic too.
Well, now Bury It Barr has more time for bagpipes and can dig deeper into the Bible studies with the Muellers. Forward a couple decades or so.
On his 100th birthday, Bury It Barr comes out of retirement for one day and announces that the DOJ has indicted a case of a single person in Madison, WI, that committed election fraud in 2020. It was the only case found in the USA and the department is recommending probation.
For those that like to research and I do, Barr has been a corrupt deep state person for a long time. He has been working/living in DC almost right after he graduated college. Amazing what can be found out.
Barr is nothing but a smartass who likes pissing people off, he’s got a bit of a sadistic streak in him. He seems to enjoy making people FUME –on either side. Just a smartass.
Barr is a useless Swamp creature.
I’d rather that he not appoint anyone, they would be in the same vein as the rest of his appointments, useless.
The old crop duster may or may not have done his job. Whatever that job was. Have no idea. Which is sad.
Barr did end the Mueller SC but he didn’t do it specifically for Trump’s benefit. He did it to provide a somewhat graceful exit for Rod Redactenstein, Herr Weissmann and the rest of the angry Democrats.
Another example of Barr’s complete uselessness that rarely gets mentioned now was his complete dereliction of duty in cracking down on tyrannical governors all over the nation with their dictatorial overreaching COVID restrictions.
What a treasonous a$$hole.
AG Barr gave a green light to the looting and rioting by BLM and ANTIFA! He said it was protected civil rights protest. What an idiot!
Uhhhh …. What about BLM thugs? Anitifa? He is encouraging violence. As is Wray … but we already knew that.
This guy used to be the biggest Bernie Bro but now he’s a Trump supporter. He has some things to say about Bill Bar good and bad:
Hurry up and leave, you fat crooked b*stard.
No opinion Sundance?
Dirty back-stabbing P***K
And thats all I have to say.
So, has he cancelled the Durham Report yet or will it be released on 21 Jan 2021?
