t’s not true. It wasn’t closed down,” William Barr told The Federalist on Tuesday in response to Democrat Rep. Jamie Raskin’s claim that the former attorney general and his “handpicked prosecutor” had ended an investigation into a confidential human source’s allegation that Joe Biden had agreed to a $5 million bribe. “On the contrary,” Barr stressed, “it was sent to Delaware for further investigation.”
Former Attorney General Barr went on the record with The Federalist following statements Raskin made to the press Monday afternoon. Soon after attending a closed-door meeting with House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer and the FBI — at which lawmakers reviewed the FD-1023 form summarizing a CHS’s detailed allegations that then-Vice President Joe Biden agreed to accept money from a foreign national to affect policy decisions — Raskin spoke to the media.
“What I learned,” Raskin claimed, “was that Attorney General Barr named Scott Brady, who was the U.S. attorney for Western Pennsylvania, to head up a group of prosecutors who would look into all the allegations related to Ukraine.”
“After Rudy Giuliani surfaced these allegations,” Raskin continued, Brady’s team looked into the FD-1023 and “in August determined that there was no grounds to escalate from an initial assessment to a preliminary investigation,” and so “they called an end to the investigation.”
The Maryland Democrat then reiterated his claim that this was “under Attorney General William Barr and his handpicked prosecutor Mr. Brady, who was a Trump appointee.” “They were the ones who decided” there were no further grounds for investigation, Raskin’s claimed, adding: “If there is a complaint, it is with Attorney General William Barr, the Trump Justice Department, and the team that the Trump administration appointed to look into it.”
Difficult to follow all the bread crumbs thrown about in the story.
One thing that hasn’t changed though – there seems to be nothing McCarthy can/will do to change anything.
Just more of the same.
NPR and all the MSM already broadcast and positively editorialized how wonderful Jamie’s report was. THAT WAS THE PURPOSE OF HIS LIE – LOOK AT ALL THE LIES FROM PENCIL NECK< OBAMA< BIDEN< I COULD GO ON….
"Jamie lied" will never get reported in the MSM. They are already running with the Biden bribe thing is just more MAGA terrorists threatening democracy with another conspiracy theory.
Barr seems to have passed on investigations instead of taking care of them himself.
He also seems to like to jump on whichever bandwagon that is going to get him media attention.
Opportunistic phony.
Passed it on to Delaware that’s controlled by the Bidens. Barr, you’re a genius.
The problem isn’t that they lie and revise history.
The problem is that they lie, revise history, and the ast majority seems to believe it.
^^^^^vast majority
The missing Marx brother.
Karl Marx that is……
So now we have a coward complaining about a liar.
Barr you magnificent bastard…

Jamie Raskin.
He is not of the line that produced Einstein and Friedman.
He is of the line that produced Marx and Alinsky.
Good and Bad. Yin and Yang. But more good than bad. Keepin’ my faith in the Judeo-Christian way, baby.
