The long standing policy of the DOJ has been to not divulge info information harmful to a candidate in an election year (my rough understanding).
The last time this policy was breached was in 2016. James Comey (A Republican) helped Donald Trump by raising doubts. It seems like history will repeat itself.
You can argue that it’s not directly aimed at Biden. But let's be honest. We all know that’s what this is: a pre scheduled october surprise. Republican Barr fully controls the narrative and has never been shy in exercising that control:
Asked last year, Bill Barr already knew when Durham’s report would be released, and it is right on schedule. Legitimate investigations do not conclude on a schedule. They end when they end. When the Horowitz report offered even a hint that there was no evidence of bias in the investigation, why did Bill Barr take to the airwaves to try to make sure we didn‘t pay attention to that? Durham and/or Barr also dropped hints that the durham report would contrast with Horrowitz findings and that indictments were coming (must be ESP). To speak at all of ongoing investigation is usually verboten. But they did it anyway. Because Barr is a Republican operative and this served the Presidents purposes.
More control:
Replacing three Key US attorneys in D.C. and New York , with only a few months left to the election on Friday nights to muffle the news cycle???? Really???? Not suspicious at all. Replacing many inspectors general in key positions likewise??? These are not subtle.
More control:Earlier this year Barr had issued a directive that any complaints about the president come through his office.
