‘I Was Hoping That There'd Be Accountability at the FBI’ – Former AG Bill Barr Forgets That He Ran FBI for 2 Years!

2022-11-07

[Gateway Pundit] Former Attorney General Bill Barr didn’t want accountability at the DOJ and the FBI. He proved this by his actions for two years by not addressing the massive corruption in these institutions.

By not addressing the corruption, the DOJ and FBI have only gotten worse.

Bill Barr now says he was hoping that there’d be accountability at the FBI. This guy had two years to address the massive corruption at the FBI and DOJ but he didn’t. Now we have a DOJ and FBI that arrest innocent protesters from Jan 6, throw them in jail for nearly two years without court dates, place crimes on them that are way overstated, and force them into plea deals by placing them in isolation and beating them up in the DC gulag.

In an interview with Byron York, former AG Barr made the following shocking statements.

#4 Do a"Musk" to the FBI amd DOJ. I.e., fire the entire FBI and DOJ, lock them all out, then do a selective and vetted rehire of a few and hire new agents as needed.

This would be the fastest way to clean the depts up.

#3 Once an institution has a majority of 2nd-tier and 3rd-tier career middle management bent towards a political direction, it takes years to unwind the attitudes that they use to undermine appointee directions and intent. As a first hand veteran of this at a state civil service level for example, the veneer of paper thin obedience is often comedic. I appeared at work on day to find my office door still dripping wet to discover that there had been an adhoc demonstration early that morning to splatter the nametag on the door with "Holy Water" in hopes of moderating the demonic influence within. You can't fire civil servants in California, but you can move them around under the guise of temp assignments and even lateral promotions. Once group-think meets intransigent guidance cloaked with good manners, things slowly change.

#2 /\ It is a hard slug.
Reading this I had an image of a huge banana slug with 'FBI' on its side and a very tough skin. Perhaps a dump truck full of salt would be necessary? But yes, it would take a 'hard slog' to batter through the walls of institutional Omerta and get significant reform.

#1 People forget about the difficulty of doing investigations of government action.

TMany witnesses need to be interviewed, many more than once. Typically witnesses are uncooperative, manage to forget key points, etc. Terrabytes of information in emails, documents, etc.

It is a hard slug.

A lot of rantburg readers were dissapointed at the speed of the IG's review and this was narrower than the investigation by a special counsel.
