Just how far does the White House want AG Barr to go with this investigation?
Well, to hear Sarah Sanders, it would seem like putting James Comey behind bars would be just fine by them.
The Origins Investigation
As the world knows by now, Attorney General Barr has launched multiple investigations into the origins of the Russia probe.
Two of them had already been underway when Barr tagged Connecticut U.S. Attorney John Durham to concentrate on a very specific period of the probe.
Sarah Sanders appeared on “Meet the Press” this weekend to offer a bit more clarity on what the White House is hoping will come of these investigations.
Sanders stated, “We already know that there was an outrageous amount of corruption that took place at the F.B.I.
“They leaked information. They lied.
“They were specifically working trying to take down the President, trying to hurt the President.
“We’ll leave the final call up to the Attorney General and he’ll get to the bottom of it.
“But we think Americans deserve the truth.
“The President asked for that and we should expect nothing less.”
Chuck Todd immediately pushed back, insinuating Barr was more or less given this assignment with the intent of giving the President the outcome he wants, not where the facts lead.
Todd stated, “It doesn’t sound like you want him to do his job.”
Sanders immediately pushed back, stating, “Chuck, that’s the reason that he’s granted the Attorney General the authority to declassify that information, to look at all the documents necessary is so that we can get to the very bottom of what happened.
“Once again, we already know about some wrongdoing.
“The President’s not wrong in that.
“But he wants to know everything that happened and how far and wide it went.”
When Todd flat out asked Sanders if she thinks Trump wants Comey arrested, Sanders replied, “Again, we’re going to let the Attorney General make that determination as he gets to the conclusion of this investigation.
“We certainly expect the people that were responsible and part of this out… uh… unprecedented obstruction and corruption at the F.B.I., those people should certainly be held responsible and be held accountable and the President expects that to take place.”
If I were James Comey right now, I would be very nervous because you better believe if there is one shred of evidence of wrongdoing, conservatives are going to expect the book to be thrown at him.
It was bad enough when Hillary got off without so much as a slap on the wrist, Comey cannot be allowed to get away with being the mastermind behind an alleged coup against the President if the evidence says as much.
