Barr said he is the right AG for this particular time in history.
He said:
So in a sense, I have more questions today than I did when I first started. Some of what things don’t hang together, some of the explanations of what occurred. People have to find out what the government was doing during that period. If we’re worried about foreign influence, for the very same reason shouldn’t we be worried about whether government officials abused their power and put their thumb on the scale?
“I’m not saying that happened, but I’m saying that we have to look at that,” he said.
Barr
announced last month during a House hearing that he was “reviewing the conduct” of the FBI’s investigation into the Trump campaign. The next day, he said at a Senate hearing that he
believed “spying” did occur, but he wanted to review if there was proper predicate for that spying.
