AG Bill Barr tells Fox News public must know if officials 'put their thumb on the scale' in Russia probe

In an exclusive interview with Fox News, Attorney General William Barr explained that he is trying to get to the bottom of whether or not “government officials abused their power and put their thumb on the scale” during the early stages of the Russia probe.

"I’ve been trying to get answers to the questions and I've found that a lot of the answers have been inadequate and some of the explanations I've gotten don't hang together, in a sense I have more questions today than when I first started," Barr told Fox News' Bill Hemmer in an interview set to air Friday on "America's Newsroom."

"What doesn't hang together?" Hemmer asked.

"Some of the explanations of what occurred," Barr said.

"Why does that matter?" asked Hemmer.

"People have to find out what the government was doing during that period. If we're worried about foreign influence, for the very same reason we should be worried about whether government officials abuse their power and put their thumb on the scale," Barr responded.

Barr added, "I'm not saying that happened but it's something we have to look at."

Hemmer conducted the interview with Barr in El Salvador, where he will address the crisis on the U.S.-Mexico border, MS-13, drug trafficking and human trafficking with officials.

On Monday, multiple outlets reported that Barr had appointed U.S. Attorney John Durham to examine the origins of the Russia investigation

A person familiar with the process told Fox News Tuesday that Durham has been working on his review “for weeks,” to probe "all intelligence collection activities" related to the Trump campaign during the 2016 presidential election.

The Russia investigation and Special Counsel Robert Mueller's report continue to be debated by Republicans and Democrats since its release last month.

Democrats have accused Barr of acting as the president's "personal attorney" while Republicans accuse Democrats of vilifying the attorney general in order to harm President Trump.

Fox News' Brooke Singman contributed to this report.

I have high hopes for Barr and his team to bring all this scum, both on the job and not, to justice. I hope I'm not disappointed.

When this is all over I believe the Democratic party will find itself decimated and in total chaos. :clap:

Pay backs are hell, especially when they start at the bottom and wind up at the very top!!! :clap:

These people deserve what ever they get and probably more. Unless they are hanging at the end of a hemp rope with a bag over their heads.

At the very least, if no one is actually indicted, we the people should get the truth about what happened and who did the dirty deeds.

Sadly, we the people may well have to settle for that. But such is more than we now have with which to trust our government.

I think Barr's intent in this is to try get the trust of the American people back in THEIR justice and fed law enforcement dept's. Any law enforcement organization is always susceptible to corruption but not normally at high levels like this appears to have been.

Our Nation's Republic construction has always been one thin gossamer step from that of a Banana Republic. It is only because of the inherent, built=in tension, and courageous acts by men and women of good will, that we are not.

That said, historically, I believe this is the closest we ever came to it's demise via a coup.:unsure:
