Opinion: Only the threat of indictment will get William Barr to the truth—and reform the FBI, writes wjmcgurn

If the Federal Bureau of Investigation is to recover its lost reputation, the first item on Attorney General William Barr’s agenda must be to make good on something that set off a frenzy when he proposed it last week: an honest

accounting of the FBI’s spying on the presidential campaign of Donald Trump. To do it, Mr. Barr would be well advised to use a grand jury, the same tool used by special counsel Robert Mueller in his investigation.To Read the Full Story

wjmcgurn They go restore faith in democracy

wjmcgurn Right, or wrong FBI reputation has taken a hit. Appoint dual team to head up investigation. One from each party & both non political, impeccable credentials, but who've always put country over party. Provide true independence from party / WH influence. Full disclosure when done.

wjmcgurn wSJ give it a rest already. Stop trying to make news and do the world a favor are simply report it.

wjmcgurn This is childish. There is no such thing as exoneration by equivalency. That’s a concept that a 7 year old would come up with.

wjmcgurn So you propose FBI agents make a personal loyalty oath?

wjmcgurn Are you god damn kidding me with this? Frankly I expect the WSJ to be a bit more sophisticated than the average conservative hack pack in their efforts to prop up the Trump admin; this is some lowbrow dumb conspiracy theorizing right here

wjmcgurn This is why I don't get why the efforts to block the report by the GOP. They scream 'deep state conspiracy' but don't want to see what may or may not be evidence of such? Doesn't really make sense, does it?

wjmcgurn Great timing. Definitely makes sense to print this before the (redacted) Mueller Report comes out. I actually would welcome this, along with an unredacted Mueller report including Grand Jury testimony and a Trump interview with SC. Full transparency. What is Trump afraid of?

wjmcgurn Everyone knows we will never no what was in the report

wjmcgurn Wut

wjmcgurn Grand Juries only are formed to Investigate AFTER there is sufficient evidence.

wjmcgurn OPINION: Can you spell RICO?

Barr is reviewing ‘spying’ on Trump campaign in 2016William Barr told a Senate panel on Wednesday that he is reviewing how the Justice Department and the FBI conducted its counterintelligence investigation into Russian election interference, saying he thought “spying did occur” on President Trump’s campaign Good. USA is slipping more into Banana Republic territory with every passing day. So I guess the previous IG and other investigations into this crackpot theory that thoroughly debunked this conspiracy horseshit wasn't enough for the lunatic fringe that now have their own AG/Ray Cohn to falsely attack the FBI and Intel communities...
