I sincerely hope I’m wrong but I’m getting the vibe that there may not be anymore indictments coming out of Durham’s investigation of Russiagate.

The reason for my pessimism is two things that happened yesterday. First Trey Gowdy said in the morning that he thought and hoped that the one indictment so far would be the only one.

Then AG Bill Barr talked last night on the Levin show about how difficult it was to gather all the necessary evidence and then get an indictment through a grand jury. At that point I knew he was posturing because as I’m sure most of you know it’s commonly said a good prosecutor could indict a ham sandwich. And I recalled an earlier statement Barr made about not wanting to politicize the justice system.

What Barr and Gowdy are really saying is that we should be above petty retribution for political crimes. And this is the problem with Republicans. They want to be above sullying their hands with politics. The Dems weaponize DOJ and the FBI and harass and prosecute folks like Flynn and Stone and try to destroy a duly elected president, but now these guys want to give obvious criminals a free pass because they think if Durham writes a scathing report that should be good enough. Bullshit! The only thing that they will learn is that they can get away anything because the Republicans are too busy posturing about being above the fray.

And for any of you who saw Barr last night talking about the difficulty of putting together a case, again I say, bullshit. Many former federal prosecutors have said there are several slam dunk cases and you’ve all seen the evidence. The many emails and texts and statements are there and unrefutable.

I hope I’m wrong but I am getting a very uneasy feeling.
