AG Barr just announced that the John Durham investigation into the origins of the phony Russia probe won’t likely lead to criminal investigations of either Obama or Biden:
Barr says he does not "expect" that the ongoing review of the Trump-Russia probe will lead to a criminal investigation of Barack Obama or Joe Biden: "Our concern over potential criminality is focused on others" https://t.co/HcJ4ge7ZNj pic.twitter.com/N7F0WvaeFE

Barr asserts, with respect to Obama and Biden, that as the Supreme Court just reminded us every abuse of power isn’t criminal and that, based on what he knows now, neither Obama or Biden will criminal investigated. He said “our concern over potential criminality is focused on others.”
Here’s a longer and more fulsome video of his answer, where Barr notes that neither the Durham investigation, nor the criminal justice system, will be used for partisan political ends as long as he’s AG. And as you can see from the tweet, he also weighs in again on what happened to Trump:
