Attorney General William Barr Sees “No Need” for Special Counsel on Hunter Biden

Answering questions during his PanAm 103 terrorist bombing probe press conference, Attorney General William Barr says he sees no reason to appoint a special counsel to investigate Hunter Biden.

Additionally, Barr confirmed he does not plan to announce any actions on Hunter Biden before leaving DOJ.

Additionally, Barr said that he “saw no basis” for seizing voting machines, when asked if the President had legal authority… and with regard to election fraud, Barr added that “if I thought a special counsel at this stage was the right tool, I would name one, but I haven’t and I’m not going to.”

Presumably we, the people should just trust the American justice system to see this through without political intereference…

This comes just days after Barr said in an interview published Friday that he has no regrets over not letting the public know before the election that Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden’s son was under investigation.

We give the final word to Pepe Escobar, who appeared to sum up Bill Barr perfectly:

“Barr is now out of the picture (see his letter of resignation). Barr is a notorious Daddy Bush asset since the old days – and that means classic Deep State. Barr knew about all federal investigations on Hunter Biden dating back to 2018, covering potential money laundering and bribery. And still, as the Wall Street Journal delightfully put it, he “worked to avoid their public disclosure during the heated election campaign”.”

Gatekeeper, indeed.
