Attorney General William Barr told reporters on Monday that the actions taken by Obama-era officials in federal law enforcement and in the Intelligence Community against President Donald Trump were “unprecedented in American history” and represented a “grave injustice.”

“I’ve commented since I have been attorney general and even during my confirmation hearings that over the past few decades, there have been increasing attempts to use the criminal justice system as a political weapon,” Barr said. “And as long as I’m attorney general, the criminal justice system will not be used for partisan political ends.”

“And what happened to the president and I’ve said this many times, what happened to the president in the 2016 election and throughout the first two years of his administration was abhorrent,” Barr continued. “It was a grave injustice and it was unprecedented in American history. The law enforcement and intelligence apparatus of this country were involved in advancing a false and utterly baseless Russian collusion narrative against the president.”

“The proper investigative and prosecutive standards of the department of justice were abused, in my view, in order to reach a particular result,” Barr continued. “We saw two different standards of justice emerge, one that applied to President Trump and his associates and the other that applied to everybody else. We can’t allow this ever to happen again. The Durham investigation is trying to get to the bottom of what happened, and it will determine whether there were any federal laws broken. And if there were, those who broke the laws will be held to account.”

“Now under the longstanding standards of the department, criminal charges are appropriate only when we have enough evidence to prove each element of a crime beyond a reasonable doubt. That is the standard we’re applying. Now I have a general idea of how Mr. Durham’s investigation is going and as I have indicated, some aspects of the matter are being examined as potential crimes. But we have to bear in mind what the Supreme Court recently reminded us of in the bridge gate case. The court said there, there’s a difference between an abuse of power and a federal crime. Not every abuse of power, no matter how outrageous, is necessarily a federal crime. Now as to President Obama and Vice President Biden, whatever their level of involvement, based on the information I have today, I don’t expect Mr. Durham’s work will lead to a criminal investigation of either man. Our concern over potential criminality is focused on others.”

Heavenly Father, Thank You for AG Barr. I pray that you will give him wisdom in how to bring justice for all the lies that have been told about Pres.Trump. The impeachment trial WASTED lots of time and money for the American taxpayers. The congress was not able to do their duty to serve the country as they focused on all the lies. PIn Jesus name I pray Amen.

It is wonderful to know that our gracious GOD has men of this caliber in His service. How thankful I am that lies are but for a moment and the Truth will stand forever. May GOD richly bless A.G. Williams Barr and surround him with gifted people to help him accomplish his God-given purpose.

Lord, we pray everything hidden in darkness concerning Obama and Biden bring it to light and bring justice to our President Donald Trump in Jesus name. I bind the Strongmen of Lies and loose The Spirit of Truth in Jesus Name.

Father, thank you for Attorney Barr. Strengthen him and protect him and his family. Open doors before him and break down the Gates of bronze before him and Durham. Give them favor and confound those who speak evil of them. Thank you, Father.

Lord, as the angel stood by Paul and encouraged him when the ship was about to break up, I pray that AG Barr will receive that same encouragement to hold his course and for all evil to be revealed and dealt with appropriately. Let all Your enemies and the enemies of Your people be scattered. Amen
