Well, howdy there, internet people, it's Bo again.
So today we are going to talk about investigating
the investigators of the investigators.
I think that's where we're at in this little cat and mouse
game that is being played out in the U.S. Congress.
Okay, so what's going on?
Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee
are asking Garland for information.
Because of the strength and seriousness of this evidence, Attorney General Barr
acknowledged that the department was compelled to investigate, but instead of
allowing the investigation to proceed through normal channels, he asked Mr.
Durham to handle the investigation, secretly goes on, in this instance, it
appears the attorney general Barr turned the special counsel regulations on their
and use the special counsel not to promote independence and fairness, but
to bury a potentially significant criminal investigation from the public.
Mr. Durham's refusal to explain his decision not to charge former President
Trump after secretly investigating him for alleged financial crimes is highly
concerning, especially considering Mr. Durham's extensive public discussion of
evidence that was rejected by juries which acquitted the defendants that he
charged. Okay, so if you have no idea what that's about, during the Durham
investigation, it seems like they uncovered some stuff about Trump and
they went and checked it out, but it didn't go anywhere. Okay, now the
Democratic Party at the moment is kind of indicating that they believe maybe it
should have gone somewhere, and the then attorney general kind of buried it.
Okay, so what's going to happen?
Honestly, I don't think much.
I could be wrong, but generally speaking, these types of investigations, the reason
they don't proceed, normally there's a good reason.
Normally there's something. Maybe the evidence wasn't credible,
maybe it's, you know, upon actually investigating it,
it might have been unethical but it wasn't illegal, or
it was something that was right on the cusp and because of
the Bureau's desire to, you know, or the Department of Justice's
desire to remain apolitical, they kind of passed on it.
There's a whole bunch of reasons that could be that are legitimate or at least semi-legitimate reasons for doing it.
Most times when these types of investigations get launched by people in Congress, they don't go anywhere.
Just historically speaking, it's pretty rare for an investigation to have occurred
and then Congress to step in, and something change to the point where it matters.
They might find out something that doesn't sit well with the public or something like that,
but it generally doesn't prompt any criminal charges.
That being said, that is how things normally work.
However, this particular investigation stumbled upon information about a former
president that has now been indicted multiple times and is under investigation
for a whole bunch of other stuff.
I don't want to use the word unprecedented, but I mean, here we are.
My gut tells me that not much is going to come of this.
at the same time given everything else going on, I can't really fault them for wanting
to look because there's a lot of allegations, throwing in a few more wouldn't really be
shocking at this point.
But before anybody gets their hopes up and turns into a, you know, donkey version of
somebody screaming butter emails, just remember that generally speaking these
types of investigations don't really uncover what people hope to uncover when
they when they're concluded. Anyway, it's just a thought. Y'all have a good day.
