Bush official predicts spy indictments

John Yoo was a Deputy Assistant Attorney General under Bush 43. Yoo told Fox News that by appointing a U.S. attorney to the Spygate case, Bill Barr told the world to expect indictments.



CNS News reported that Yoo said, "If I were the Democrats I would be quite worried.

"And the reason why is, by appointing a U.S. attorney, Attorney General Barr is essentially signaling that he thinks it's possible that criminal violations occurred in the start of the whole investigation into any kind of Trump-Russian collusion.

"As Judge Barr said, there is already an inspector general investigation that's going to come to a conclusion. That's what you would do if you were just interested in reforming the way the department does things, the way decisions were made.

"But you wouldn't go with a U.S. Attorney like John Durham, someone of his stature, unless the attorney general thinks actually something criminal might have happened, that someone might have violated the law, that there might have been malfeasance, that people at the FBI or the justice department were acting out of partisan motives, not just out of incompetence or stupidity or they were duped by the Russians or Steele or the English or by the Clinton campaign.

"So if you are a Democrat, I think you would be really worried to see the appointment of a career prosecutor like this."

Durham has a record of putting away rogue FBI agents. I wrote about that here.

Most conservatives have a wait-and-see attitude because we know that Washington takes care of Washington, first, last, and always.

After watching Hillary not only go unindicted but had the FBI destroy the evidence as well, I realize Comey is about as high as they will go.

Still, I believe President Trump will exact a price for this that is high enough to prevent another attempted coup.

But we shall see.
