    "got sucked up by Mullet in the Russian sweep" The man's name is Mueller. That you can't even grant a person his own name causes me to wonder what other inaccuracies plague your thinking.

    And it was not a 'sweep.' It was an investigation.

    "...since Mullet had the ‘Russian blinders’ on..." You have no proof of this. Mueller was highly praised with a strong reputation of impartiality by both parties at the time of his appointment. Republican resentment of his investigation only surfaced after Trump dictated by tweet that Mueller should be ridiculed. At first, Trump claimed he was cooperating fully. Trump didn't 'go-off' on Mueller for the first few weeks. Of course, that was but a ruse and didn't last.

    For non-partisan viewers, Mueller conducted a fair and thorough investigation. The only people who don't think so are die-hard Trump fans.

    "So Trump politely asked Zelensky to investigate it " (After impolitely cutting off the military aid the country was depending on for it's survival.)
    Praise aside, Mullet came off as pretty out of touch with his own investigation during his appearance before Congress.

    Objectively, it’s fair to say Mullet was incompetent, at minimum.

    Since we are judging people on how well they are regarded, both Barr and Durham are well regarded. So, we’ll see how their investigation goes.

    You do realize this is now a criminal investigation -so are you saying this is just Barr as well?
    Barr controls the investigation, he is the one who directs Durham. He is Durham’s boss, just as he was Mueller’s boss.

    Mueller ran a tight ship and did a very good job. However, he operated under the concept that a sitting president cannot be indicted by the justice dept. He spent half the report pointing out the many, many activities and connections the Russian had with Trumpies as they interfered bigly in the American election. The last part listed and explained the many incidents of Trump's obstruction. Trump is facing them in the House investigation now. Mueller provided a road map for the House. In the end, Mueller will end up removing a terrible crook.

    was Mueller independent? did Barr interfere? no.
    why would he interfere with Durham?

    "controls" is a misnomer. Durham is an independent United States Attorney. They operate as such.
    Barr doesn't "direct" he appoints.

    Mr. Barr is closely managing the Durham investigation, even traveling to Italy to seek help from officials there to run down an unfounded conspiracy that is at the heart of conservatives’ attacks on the Russia investigation — that the Italian government helped set up the Trump campaign adviser who was told in 2016 that the Russians had damaging information that could hurt Clinton’s campaign.

    It turns out Mullet was ‘running down an unfounded conspiracy theory’ with Mifsud.

    If Barr felt compelled to be present with the witnesses in Italy, it only means he was more ‘hands on’ than Mullet. Mullet turned out to be almost comically ‘hands off’.

    It was apparent in his appearance before Congress that Mullet had little, if anything, to do with his[lol?] investigation.

    Mr. Barr’s reliance on Mr. Durham, a widely respected and veteran prosecutor who has investigated C.I.A. torture and broken up Mafia rings, could help insulate the attorney general from accusations that he is doing the president’s bidding and putting politics above justice.

    i think Barr was there as the head of DOJ ( Atty general).
    that has more clout with foreign governments then just Durham, and insures that Italy did the thing with Msfud

    Durham has already investigated the spooks.

    No wonder the Deep State fans hate him.

    Of course, if foreign intelligence services were involved in setting up Papadopoulos they aren’t going to want to talk about it.

    So yeah, have a Cabinet member tag along. Makes perfect sense.
