AG Barr confirms the DOJ is reviewing Rudy Giuliani’s Ukraine evidence

Attorney General Bill Barr is reviewing Rudy Giuliani’s evidence on the Ukraine scandal. Giuliani, acting as the President’s personal attorney, gathered information, witness documentation, and testimony, on behalf of his client who was facing impeachment.

It is being examined through an “intake process” to gauge its credibility.

Barr went on to explain that there are “a lot of agendas” in Ukraine and “a lot of cross currents.”

“We can’t take anything we receive from the Ukraine at face value,” Barr said. “For that reason, we had established an intake process in the field so that any information coming in about Ukraine could be carefully scrutinized by the department” to assess its credibility.

He added: “And you know, that is true for all information that comes to the department relating to the Ukraine, including anything Mr. Giuliani might provide.”

LINDSEY GRAHAM LET THAT SLIP

South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham said on CBS News’ “Face the Nation” on Sunday that the DOJ has “created a process that Rudy could give information and they would see if it’s verified.”

“Rudy Giuliani is a well-known man,” Graham said. “He’s a crime fighter. He’s loyal to the president. He’s a good lawyer.”

Graham did issue a caveat — the information collected by Giuliani needed to be given to the Justice Department “because it could be Russian propaganda.”

What nonsense, a special process for Rudy to follow. This is another Barr stall. Doesn’t the DOJ always scrutinize things carefully? No, they used known disinformation which they generated to attempt to frame Trump. Rudy has bank records from multiple nations, not just Ukraine. Rudy has sworn statements. Rudy is not hiding evidence or falsifying evidence, as the DOJ does. Barr’s reaction here indicates deception.

That’s our amateur investigator, the tortoise, who has already been greatly humiliated by Rudy, an ace investigator and a patriot, not a coverup artist.

I’m willing to give Barr the benefit of the doubt on this issue. Just because he has said the DOJ will verify all of Rudy’s information doesn’t mean it is going to be swept under the rug as it would in other administrations I can think of.

The verification process does two things: 1) it takes some of the wind out of Nadler’s sails that anything invalid is being used to improperly investigate Hunter Biden and 2) it buys Barr time to work with Rudy to build an air-tight case against the Bidens, Obama, Romney, Pelosi and others.
