Barr did say, however, that “not every abuse of power, no matter how outrageous, is necessarily a federal crime.”
“As for President Obama and Vice President Biden, whatever their level of involvement based on what I know, I don’t expect Durham’s work will lead to a criminal investigation of either man,” Barr said
Above is the actual quote.
He is not saying that he is expecting to find that they have done nothing wrong.
He is saying that he does not expect that to be a federal crime as per the books.
The problem is that as the head of executive the president has full authority to direct or review any investigation or spying operation.
The doj as it is part of the executive has no jurisdiction to try the president for carrying out executive action during their tenure no matter how abusive they are .
The only remedy in our constitution for presidential transgressions is an impeachment.
Now the problem is that an ex president has never been impeached. So what happens after that will be a problem for the legislative to solve.
This is a mirror image of what the left was hoping with mueller. They wanted the mueller report to be used as a tool for impeachment.
Mueller couldn't indict. No matter how much the hack weismann wanted over bogus obstruction of justice. Barr also cannot indict.
To:dr Presidents and vice presidents cannot be indicted, they can only be impeached.
Over throw of a sitting president is not s federal crime?
Unless there is an actual recording or transcript of obama or biden saying " take down trump", they have plausible deniability
The president can order review of ' russian interference' in us elections
Now if the agencies committed crimes during this 'review' unless the president is stupid enough to specifically tell the agencies to commit the crimes, he is not in trouble.
He can always say that he was misinformed by the agencies.
One disclaimer : The above is strictly in legal sense. In a political sense, even an indication of a wrong doing should be enough to ask for punishment via the legislative branch by impeachment or some other mode..
The left is good in that, I doubt whether the right has the courage
So, we need someone to Rat him out.

I am not saying that I don't think obama lead the coup. I am saying that he has to be specially stupid to leave an actual trail.
People at that level in a crime organization do not have to specifically state their criminal intent, they are understood by their underlings.
Yes maybe. One more issue is that I am not comfortable with how confident brennan is sounding. This was an international operation with Russians also peddling disinformation for Hillary's benefit.
From papadopulous we know australia was also involved.
UK via Steele.
So how many ends of this puzzle are in foreign countries, we do not know.
Many foreign countries including china had an interest in stopping a trump presidency. Simple reason he said that he will ask them to pay their bills.
When Democrats impeached trump, barr was doing rounds in foreign countries to gather evidence. Impeachment was a threat from democrats so that trump doesn't get involved directly with foreign heads of states( faster).
They are trying to delay till 2020.
What was the reason for the press conference? Was it solely to talk about this or was a question asked which led to this?
