'Barr is an off the charts partisan hack, not a criminal'

https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1222644438268170241.html

Parnas cannot make a deal, according to some connected people I know, because he was involved in other crimes, some much worse than the 2019 Ukraine plot. They involve Giuliani & different/earlier extortion/bribery plots with Ukraine. Trump is involved. SDNY is all over it.

Part II: 1 of the biggest pieces apparently involves one of the dozen redacted investigations Mueller handed off, involving the sale of Javelin missiles to Ukraine which coincided with Ukraine killing all their Manafort investigations & cooperation w Mueller. Massive criminality.

In relation to these explosive posts I made about a massive SDNY investigation involving Parnas/Giuliani/Trump and others re: a 2017-2018 Ukraine extortion & bribery plot, no I do not believe Barr has or will interfere in it. He is an off the charts partisan hack, not a criminal.

And then holding it for 3 weeks so that narrative gets locked in isn't illegal

It should be

His squashing the Whistleblower investigations is illegal, isn't it? Stomping on Mueller's report, stopping him from investigating very guilty Eric, Don Jr., & Kushner 2 of which committed perjury in Senate hearings - so putting his personal preference above the law isn't illegal? I know, Repugs say it's not illegal for them, but if Barr was a Dem, guarantee you they would call him what he is - criminal.

He said he didn't know how Mueller felt about his summary when he damn well did.
