It’s a good thing to protect it, just in case Trump gets wackier than he already is.
William Barr nominated by Donald Trump to be US attorney general

You mean like facts you fail to provide to back up all sorts of claims you make.
Do you have anything to back up the claims about yourself?
The Hill article is misleading. I see why you didn't provide a link.
The probe was enabled by an undercover informant working for the FBI inside the Russian nuclear industry, court records show. But the Justice Department did not make that evidence public until 2014, long after Rosatom benefited from multiple favorable decisions from the Obama administration.
I posted a whole thread on the informant about a year ago.. He didn't have anything to do with Uranium One..
His name was Campbell and he was such a flake the FBI couldn't use any of his testimony.
I did provide a link, fraudster, and the NRC export license and the amendment are also linked. Nothing to do with an informant. It's public information.
I see your brush with the justice system didn't rehabilitate you.
William Campbell was working for the Russians when they started taking back the biggest portion of his bribes.. That's when he went to the FBI... The FBI protected his name, but Campbell went public..
Vadim Mikerin went to prison.
Let me see if I can find the details. It was a bout bribing a trucking company NOT Uranium One.

If the investigation needed protection from Trump it would have needed it before now.
What the AG needs to ‘protect’ is the integrity of the justice system and there’s ample reason to suspect ‘something wasn’t exactly right’ with how the Russian investigation started. Sessions was impotent because the idiot recused himself—for no good reason.
You are as wrong as Schumer is.
According to court, in 2009 the FBI found enough evidence to suggest Vadim Mikerin, who headed the Rosatom subsidiary Tenex, was corrupt and high-level officials at Rosatom knew about his bribery scheme. In 2014, he pled guilty in a U.S. court case to orchestrating more than $2 million in bribe payments through shadowy accounts in Cyprus, Latvia, and Switzerland.
i disagree, the closer Mueller gets to Donald’s kids, the crazier he will become. The last few days tweets having proven the man is not a stable genius.
The witness, a Florida businessman and former FBI informant named William Douglas Campbell, was considered so unreliable that prosecutors dropped him as a witness in an unrelated case involving Russian uranium sales, according to the sources.
But there are mounting questions about Campbell’s credibility in light of his track record as an informant in a separate FBI investigation into a Russian businessman named Vadim Mikerin, who was in charge of U.S. operations for Tenex — a separate unit of Rosatom that was not involved in the Uranium One purchase.
Court records and interviews with the sources who are familiar with the case indicate that Campbell provided key information to the FBI about a scheme orchestrated by Mikerin to collect kickbacks from American companies doing business with Tenex. The bureau enlisted Campbell as an undercover informant who wore a wire in his conversations with Russian officials.
But he proved a “disaster” as a potential witness in the case when doubts arose about his descriptions of some events that could not be documented, one of the sources said. As a result, prosecutors dropped extortion charges against Mikerin that relied on Campbell’s testimony. “There was no question that [Campbell’s] credibility was such that [the prosecutors] had to restructure the case,” the source said. “He got cut out of the case entirely.”
Mikerin pleaded guilty to the remaining money laundering charges in August 2015 and was sentenced to four years in prison, which he is still serving.

You’re flat out wrong.
The AG’s first responsibility is to protect the integrity of the justice system—NOT ‘protect’ investigations at the request of partisan Senators. Some of the problems have already come to light: people associated with the origin of the investigation have been demoted or fired for extreme bias AGAINST THE SUBJECT OF THE INVESTIGATION.
I can see why Schumer wants the investigation ‘protected’ and why he thinks anyone who won’t ‘protect it’ should be voted down.
Ethics required that he recuse himself.. You can lose your law license for that sort of conflict of interest. Trump doesn't know.. He is not bound by any code of ethics.
Still waiting on proof of your claim from post #31. Running from your claims tells me you don't believe them.
I give it a week until you lefties find a drunken slut to make false claims against him. I hear Christine Ford is available for a reprisal of that role.

Trump’s New Attorney General Pick Is a Big Fan of Executive Privilege
If Barr is confirmed by the Senate, it will be his second turn atop the Justice Department. As Trump noted, Barr previously served as attorney general under George H.W. Bush, from 1991 to 1993. Before that, he was Bush’s deputy attorney general. Unlike with interim attorney general Andrew Whitaker, it’s hard to argue that Barr isn’t qualified for the role. Very much like with Whitaker, Barr has a specific history that may play into Trump’s desire to insulate himself from legal jeopardy.
For one, Barr is a pretty big fan of executive privilege. In 1989, while serving as the assistant attorney general in the office of legal counsel, he wrote a memo outlining his aversion to “encroachments” from Congress on the the president’s power. “[O]nly by consistently and forcefully resisting such congressional incursions can executive branch prerogatives be preserved,” he wrote, as pointed out by Law & Crime. Barr went on to argue that the president’s “power to remove subordinates is essential to carrying out” his responsibilities. In other words, Barr believes the president should be able to fire anyone he wants at will. He also doesn’t seem to have much of an issue with dismissing special counsels.

Ethics lol??
You mean like AG Lynch ‘recusing’ from the Clinton investigation even as she instructed Comey to play federal prosecutor? Or like Rosenstein recusing from the investigation since he wrote the letter recommending that Comey be fired?
Oh wait, Rosenstein didn’t recuse.
Or why didn’t Mullet recuse since he and Comey go way back as buddies? Anyone who is part of the anti-Trump Resistance who goes on about recusal ethics has a serious lack of self awareness.
So what? Uranium was exported to Europe with the approval of the Obama-era NRC. It's in the public record.
I know it must be hard for someone with your history to focus on the facts, but do try.
“No uranium produced at either facility may be exported,” the NRC declared in a November 2010 press release that announced that ARMZ, a subsidiary of the Russian state-owned Rosatom, had been approved to take ownership of the Uranium One mining firm and its American assets.
The NRC never issued an export license to the Russian firm, a fact so ingrained in the narrative of the Uranium One controversy that it showed up in The Washington Post’s official fact-checker site this week. “We have noted repeatedly that extracted uranium could not be exported by Russia without a license, which Rosatom does not have,” the Post reported.
Yet NRC memos show that it did approve the shipment of yellowcake uranium — the raw material used to make nuclear fuel and weapons — from the Russian-owned mines in the United States to Canada in 2012 through a third party.
The Obama administration approved some of that uranium going all the way to Europe, government documents show.
NRC officials said they could not disclose the total amount of uranium that Uranium One exported because the information is proprietary. They did, however, say that the shipments only lasted from 2012 to 2014.
NRC officials said that Uranium One exports flowed from Wyoming to Canada and on to Europe between 2012 and 2014[/B], and the approval involved a process with multiple agencies.
Rather than give Rosatom a direct export license — which would have raised red flags inside a Congress already suspicious of the deal — the NRC in 2012 authorized an amendment to an existing export license for a Paducah, Ky.-based trucking firm called RSB Logistics Services Inc. to simply add Uranium One to the list of clients whose uranium it could move to Canada.
The license, reviewed by The Hill, is dated March 16, 2012, and it increased the amount of uranium ore concentrate that RSB Logistics could ship to the Cameco Corp. plant in Ontario from 7,500,000 kilograms to 12,000,000 kilograms and added Uranium One to the “other parties to Export.”

No "Campbell". No "informant". Facts, fraudster.
Vadim Mikerin and William Campbell had nothing to do with Uranium One or Hillary Clinton. Mikerin served four years and was deported in May.. Rosenstein was the lead prosecutor in the case which involved bribery and money laundering and TENEX so he definitely knows .. and Willam Barr knows. Nothing Trump can do or say to alter the facts.
But, rest assured the Rosenstein and William Barr know Trump is a liar and a moron.
I have information that will make you laugh every time faux Saudi princess krudzu mentions "ethics."
