[The Hill] Attorney General William Bar has reportedly formed a team to review actions of Justice Department and FBI officials leading up to the launch of the federal probe into President Trump's campaign and possible Russian collusion.
Bloomberg reported Tuesday evening that Barr has assembled a team to review certain counterintelligence decisions made by Justice Department and FBI officials including during the probe into Trump's campaign during the election in the summer of 2016.
Barr had testified before a House Appropriations subcommittee on Tuesday that he was reviewing "conduct" from around that period.
"I am reviewing the conduct of the investigation and trying to get my arms around all the aspects of the counterintelligence investigation that was conducted during the summer of 2016," he said.
News of the review comes following the conclusion of special counsel Robert Mueller’s nearly two-year investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 campaign.
Mueller was appointed as special counsel in May 2017 to take over the Russia probe after Trump fired former FBI Director James Comey.
Barr’s review is reportedly separate from the current investigation being conducted by the Justice Department inspector general’s office, Bloomberg reported.

Perhaps it is AG Barr's style, but his responses failed to exhibit much specificity or enthusiasm. I remain unconvinced anything will come of an investigation of the Carter Page-FISA issue. I would be delighted to be found wrong.

No matter who he once worked for, and if he believed the allegations against Trump or not at this point he should be pissed at what has happened and should want to get to the bottom of it all. He's ex-military if I understand correctly and they tend to not tolerate this kind of bullshit.

I guess the thinking is that the three VIP aircraft will absorb three Russian missiles. I'm not sure I have a problem with that.

They’re Airbuses, right? Thus it is that Germany is supporting local production so that they will have a supplier when the Americans cut them off. And as everyone knows, it is logistics that allows wars to be won.

Putin-Merkel Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact seems to be working well for the red diaper babies. The only victims so far being the stupid tax payers of America.

related to the Airbus/Germany thing: Right now Germany and Airbus are in an argument about the roughly 600 million euro loan given to AB to finance the soon to be dead A 380. AB contends they have already 'repaid' the loan by giving people jobs and all the spin off jobs that the work created (fast food, other services, etc). Germany says not so fast; so maybe this a/c buy is an attempt to give AB some money to 'repay' the loan....
