The federal prosecutor Donald Trump’s Attorney General tapped to investigate whether Obama administration officials improperly requested the unmasking of individuals during the 2016 election ended up with a nothingburger, concluding that his probe ended without “finding any substantive wrongdoing, the Washington Post reported. In essence, the probe was merely trying to legitimize Trump’s wild-eyed conspiracy theories about his predecessor.
So, Bill Barr failed to find anything to help out his president, which seems to have made Trump angry. Although Trump is always angry, however, he’s even angrier now. Trump gave a “no comment” on whether he plans to keep Barr as Attorney General should he win a second term during an interview with Newsmax TV that airs Wednesday night on ‘Greg Kelly Reports.’
Trump said it’s “too early” to determine whether he would ask Barr to stay on as AG.
Earlier Wednesday, it was reported that an investigation into the Obama administration “unmasking” the names of Trump campaign members caught up in surveillance as part of the Russia probe found no wrongdoing.

“I have no comment. Can’t comment on that. It’s too early,” Trump said. “I’m not happy with all of the evidence I have; I can tell you that. I’m not happy.”
“Personally, I think it’s ridiculous. It’s ridiculous. It’s a disgrace,” Trump continued. “I think it’s really a horrible thing that they’re allowed to get away — when they say no indictments, they actually said no indictments before the election.”
“I had to go through elections with all those clouds over my head,” Trump said. “But they don’t because the Republicans are so nice. Personally, I think it’s too bad. I think it’s too bad; they’re guilty as hell.”
Here’s the audio:
Ah, yes, but remember that with Trump, every accusation is a confession. If there was evidence of any wrongdoing from the Obama administration, Trump’s lapdog Bill Barr would have found it. That is if he’s not too busy flash-banging and teargassing American citizens. And the fact that Barr has not released the probe results shows that he continues to only serve in the president’s interests. Barr just didn’t want the public to see that the Obama administration did nothing illegal.
