Unmasking Probe? No charges, no justice

well color me freakin' surprised.


PLUS:

Bash announced last week that he was leaving the department — surprising many in the Justice Department because the move came so close to the election — though he made no mention of the unmasking review. He said in a statement that he had informed the attorney general of the decision a month earlier and had “accepted an offer for a position in the private sector.” He gave formal resignation letters to the president and the attorney general on Oct. 5, and his last day was Friday.

Before being nominated as the U.S. attorney, Bash worked in the Solicitor General’s Office and as an associate counsel to Trump. Bash thanked Trump and others in the statement, and Barr offered his “gratitude” for Bash’s service.

“I appreciate his service to our nation and to the Justice Department, and I wish him the very best,” Barr said.

Asked Tuesday if Bash had quit over anything related to unmasking, Kupec said, “No, that was not my understanding.” At the time Bash’s departure was announced, she had said of the unmasking review, “Without commenting on any specific investigation, any matters that John Bash was overseeing will be assumed by Gregg Sofer,” who was tapped to replace Bash as the U.S. attorney. She declined this week to comment specifically on the status of the unmasking investigation.
quit heh? no reasons? i can think of a good one that no one would want to talk about.

Death threats against his family.

I saw that. They probably figured it would be hard to get a guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. They had plenty of evidence that the unmasking, particularly the people who sought it, was abnormal. But proving it was criminal is a different matter.

The unmasked can likely sue civilly where the burden of proof is much lower.
