Rep. Raskin said that Attorney General Barr closed down the investigation into the Biden bribery probe.

The only problem?

AG Barr says he didn’t! https://t.co/TtLhLJYJQX

Awfully interesting how just a day after Bill Barr said Trump’s looming indictment for stealing classified documents is “not a case of the Department of Justice conducting a witch hunt” and “they approached this very delicately and with deference to the president, and this would have gone nowhere had the president just returned the documents. But he jerked them around for a year and a half,” and two days after Trump called Barr a “weak and slovenly man” for not doing anything to overturn the 2020 election over some other interview, and we could go on over their now years-long back and forth shit talk, that now spandex-wearing grapple freak Jim Jordan is happy to take Barr’s word for it simply because this time he’s saying exactly what Republicans want to hear.

Anyway, Barr told the Federalist that an investigation into the Bidens “was not closed down” and “On the contrary, it was sent to Delaware for further investigation.” And those are the only two quotes they use in the “exclusive” article meant to carry a whole “debunking” of Jamie Raskin’s briefing to the media after he and violent pro-choice activist James Comer viewed the now-legendary FD-1023 document. The problem for Jordan and pals is that on Monday the Washington Post reported that sources within the Justice Department now, in 2023, told them the investigation was in fact closed, writing “the allegation contained in the document was reviewed by the FBI at the time and was found to not be supported by facts, and the investigation was subsequently dropped with the Trump Justice Department’s sign-off, according to the people familiar with the investigation.”

It’s unlikely Barr is deliberately lying so much as he got his wires crossed with the ongoing legitimate investigations into Hunter Biden for his taxes and the gun permit, or that he wasn’t confused and the Federalist purposely twisted his words to make it sound like what fanboys want to hear. They certainly don’t want him to talk about the other shit he’s been saying publicly lately.
