AG William Barr confirms ‘multiple criminal investigations’ to find Russia probe leakers are under way

In his first congressional appearance since the release of special counsel Robert Mueller’s report on his investigation into Russian election interference, Attorney General William Barr told members of the Senate Judiciary Committee that his department is actively looking for officials who made unauthorized leaks to the media.

“We have multiple criminal leak investigations under way,” Barr said when asked by former committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, what his team is doing to address leaks to the media from sources within the FBI and Department of Justice throughout the course of the Russia investigation.

Barr, however, did not explain which leaks from the 22-month investigation are currently being investigated.

Grassley’s question followed up on a letter he sent to Barr last week asking whether or not the attorney general was looking into “whether DOJ or FBI officials had unauthorized contacts with the media” during the course of the Russia investigation.

“Much of DOJ’s work involves non-public, sensitive matters,” a Department of Justice outline of the agency’s confidentiality and media contacts policy states. “Disseminating non-public, sensitive information about DOJ matters could violate federal laws, employee non-disclosure agreements, and individual privacy rights; put a witness or law enforcement officer in danger; jeopardize an investigation or case; prejudice the rights of a defendant; or unfairly damage the reputation of a person.”

“DOJ personnel should presume that non-public, sensitive information obtained in connection with work is protected from disclosure, except as needed to fulfill official duties of DOJ personnel, and as allowed by court order, statutory or regulatory prescription, or case law and rules governing criminal and civil discovery,” the DOJ document continues.

In April, House Intelligence ranking member Devin Nunes, R-Calif., sent a letter to Barr outlining eight criminal referrals in relation to the Russian interference investigation, which included “global leaks” among several other allegations.

They didn’t get their talking points or maybe they are bored with the rehash of debunked charges?

I am getting weary of endless investigations.
HOW ABOUT SOME PROSECUTIONS?
We already have EVIDENCE for some. You can always add more charges.

Come on Barr, get the job done. No more excuses or foot dragging.

I sure hope he is dumping John Huber. He is an Obama appointee and came up with nothing.
The idea that he is a “lawyers lawyer” is sheer partisan crap talk. STOP PRETENDING these people are not biased!
Huber hide behind redactions as an excuse to do nothing and didn’t bother to interview ANY WITNESSES sent to him.

The funny thing about lawyers and judges is they are either Leftists/activists and biased away from the rule of law and willing to put agenda before the law which means an unequal application of the law or they are constitutionally conservative which means they are not biased and both parties have the law applied equally. But the Leftists think their Leftist judges are the ones that aren’t biased but the constitutionally conservative judges are biased… only because they don’t get their way.

They Leftists must be really scared… they seem to be lashing out any way they can.

Yea right. There has been so many investigations “with proof/evidence but no indictments. America is fed up with these dog and pony investigations to appease the public, but nothing to show for it. If we are to believe there still is a rule of law, a “credible” justice system and a Constitution, then let us see the indictments and arrests of these numerous traitors.

How best to say it? Take your pick:
1. ” What comes around goes around.”
2. “Turn about is fair play.”
3. “The shoe is on the other foot.”
4. “Karma’s a b*tch.”
