Attorney General William Barr is rejecting House Republican’s request to appoint a special counsel to investigate the President-elect’s son, Hunter Biden. Once Biden revealed his “tax affairs” are currently being investigated calls for AG Barr to appoint a special counsel to take over the investigation began to ensure the investigation continues through the incoming Biden administration. Despite the pressure, Barr has revealed he has no plans to appoint the requested special counsel. [Keep reading: What AG Barr Must Do to Protect Hunter Biden Probe]

Fox News reports:

“I think to the extent that there’s an investigation, I think that it’s being handled responsibly and professionally,” Barr said Monday about the investigation into Hunter Biden. “To this point I have not seen a reason to appoint a special counsel and I have no plan to do so before I leave.”

“To this point, I have not seen a reason to appoint a special counsel and I have no plan to do so before I leave,” Barr said Monday during a press conference.

Hunter Biden revealed his “tax affairs” are under federal investigation.

A well-placed government source told Fox News that Hunter Biden has been a subject/target of the grand jury investigation. According to the source, a “target” means that there is a “high probability that person committed a crime,” while a “subject” is someone you “don’t know for sure” has committed a crime.

The source also told Fox News that this investigation was predicated, in part, by Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) regarding suspicious foreign transactions.

William Barr will be leaving the Department of Justice on December 23.



    1. I once posted that he would do much of nothing. To date I was shown right in that assessment. Not one person has even been indited over spying on Trumps campaign. We still have no answers and will never get any now. Hillery is still walking around free, Obummer is as well. Funny how I was attracted for my words, yet now stand affirmed.

      1. Yes and it would seem nobody cares… Not even the hallowed Supreme Court seems to care about where heading as a Democratic Republic… God help us…
        👍🏻🇺🇸🙏🏻✝️

          1. The Supreme Court is ensuring that the Socialist/Liberal/Demwits walk off scot free! Soon, they will demand that Hunter Biden be made a saint!

          2. We are NOT a Democratic Republic. Just goes to show how little you actually think or know about our Constitution. We are a Constitutional Republic. We are in no way Democratic.

          3. Seriously? Really? Have you read the news about Chief Justice John Roberts latest antics? If you had, you wouldn’t be saying that. Don’t you get it, ALL OF GLOBALIST ELITE are nothing more then wealthy criminals with wealth, influence and power that they use all three to protect themselves. These are truly disgust human filth. You seriously need to read this investigative piece from a “real” journalist, trying to put the puzzle pieces together. This article infuriated me, and I went ballistic. Still confident in the Supreme Court?

        1. All have been corrupted by our so called “Democracy”…when we are and should conduct ourselves as if we were a true “Republic”…A 1920’s Webster’s dictionary definition of Democracy was “Mob rule”…Now you know.

      2. funny how as people in and on the right we still get muddled over attacked and attracted. maybe it is because we attract attack ,when we are right .. over target !? .I personally am gutted AG Barr has done so little ,his rhetoric on the need for law and justice was so good !. He did draw a line though ,rape of children is a death penalty , this may be his legacy setting that in place . And ,we strongly suspect the hilderbeast is no longer on this earth , things feel a tad cleaner already .

      1. globalist puppet bush and globalist puppet cliton and globalist puppet lil bush and globalist puppet barry soetoro, all the same globalist puppets like chester the molester biden . . . . .

  1. A special counsel was apparently need for Trump but…..not for Biden and his crooked son. Something is very wrong with this picture. There was no viable evidence on Trump but there is tons of evidence on Joe, Hunter and Jim Biden and their corruption with China.

    1. Which tells us just how horribly crooked our government really has been, for years! Trump only thought he knew how much our government has been corrupted. Now that he is getting a real clear picture, they are desperate to get rid of him.

      1. Yes they dare to ask us to accept the theft and wait until next election to correct any fraud. No ID, no close observations, anything goes mail in ballots and lots of Dominion machines. And the Democrats will drive us into poverty as they make slaves of us all.

    2. Why not have Barr’s replacement order a special Council before Jan 6? He can order this before Biden or Trump takes over as President . We know Biden had a Prosecutor fired who dared to investigate his son. So itb stands to reason anyone reporting to him will be on his team.

    1. Can’t help wondering if Barr might have just received a really big bonus check from Soros. (or maybe a really big threat from Hillary). I guess he can now join Sessions over there, hiding under his bed, with his tail between his legs. He’s definitely showing what side of the fence he’s on now.

      1. globalist puppet candy barr doesn’t seem like he needs any more than globalists and globalist puppet $oro$ bribes to make him preach all the globalist agendas, the globalist puppet, cliton crime family didn’t need to threaten to aid his suicide .

  2. Haven’t seen to much that the FBI has investigated in the last 6 years or so that proves they can handle an investigation of any type, let alone this one.

    1. The globalist puppet, fbi CRIMINAL organisation found globalist puppet biden criminal family innocent before they started their “investigation” and innocent after they collected all the evidence .

  3. Dismiss Barr immediately. Relieve him of his duties and then get someone who has a back bone to do what is right. Barr is a member of the deep state.

      1. You could only wish. Trump has awoken the sleeping giant of everyday Americans who previously paid little to no attention to politics. Trump has opened the eyes of many who did not realize how deeply the leftists and globalist establishment has corrupted our once great nation and system of government. There may be a hiccup now, but the people will never be blinded again. The Trump revolution has just begun! Find your safe space little boy.

      1. Actually you missed a few words. Most of the Americans with megabucks are deep state. They hate Trump because they could not buy him so that left “let’s discredit him” took place.

  4. The tax question is but a small part of what was confirmed on Hunter B’s computer. Although a tax investigation may lead to uncovering other illegal and /or traitorous crimes involving his father, uncle, sister and many others as listed as “contacts” including Harris. Also is email to his father indicts his father and sister as involvement in his admitted pedophilia for which they all deserve jail time.

      1. Biden has been in bed with the Chinese Communist Party for quite some time. Xi owns Joe, and China will be the one who benefits most from a Biden administration.

      1. were all going Albert , as in will have to stand before our maker one day!? . But DJT’s day is not yet ,he has another 4 maybe more years , to help destroy satans kingdom ,’THE KINGDOMS OF THIS WORLD HAVE BECOME THE KINGDOMS OF OUR GOD’ . This is why DJT was given the sword in Saudi, happily walked in front of the queen in England [ and reviewed and signed some ‘very interesting ‘ documents ]. had red carpet, and forbidden city treatment in China , even walked across the ‘line’ in Korea ! , all clues as to what is going on . ‘And they hid themselves caves and called on the rocks to cover them ‘

  5. Traitor Barr is still in charge after he has already resigned!? He is Bribed traitor and should be executed for his treasonous role in the ongoing election fraud and coup de taut.

  6. Barr gave us hope for the truth and then ripped our hearts out because he did nothing for the corrupt election of 2020. Barr knows the Biden’s ARE guilty. How do you sleep at night knowing you protected Biden instead of the United States. Maybe he is in the Chinese pockets too. Very sad Barr. Very sad.

  7. AFTER 6 months’ investigation and came out NOTHING, AG BARR is worse than AG Jeff sessions.
    AG BARR = WIMP..

  8. BARR you disgust me, you certainly turned against our President and joined the swamp!!!! How much did they pay you or what exactly do they have on you????

  9. Now it is in the law there has to be some semblance of a law being broken, before a law enforcement agency can open any in investigation into anyone, that law prevents someone who does not like you having you investigated, and that applies to all of the people in this USA, any investigation originated must have the approval of a judge based on evidence, not accusations, and so far that is all there is, and if Barr refuses to grant Trump’s wish he must have good grounds.

  10. The Government is Corrupted this Country is going to HELL. American people get ready for the worsts four years just like when Obama and Biden (Faud) were in office.

      1. Name the reasons you say this? Are you an occultist? You like offering human sacrifice to Lucifer? That would be the only reason to dislike the President, if you were a Luciferian Occultist B@stard.

      2. Maybe you had a terrible four years. America had a great first three years under President Trump until the leftists made everyone suffer and pay in 2020. Leftists hate peace and prosperity for any others except themselves.

  11. I believe Satan’s CORRUPTION and DEEP STATE Tentacles have infiltrated our Government BEYOND Human Repair. Believe the SECOND COMING of ‘CHRIST’ is definitely needed. DIVINE INTERVENTION IS NEEDED to WIPE CLEAN ‘SATAN’ from the face of this PLANET.!! ‘IN GOD WE TRUST’ !!

  12. What do you expect from a 2 face backstabber RINO. I have learned from Ukrainians how crooked the Bidens are, I’d FIRE that low life Barr right on the spot

  13. Barr is the ultimate swamp rat. He poses as an honest and dedicated upholder of law and order … and he protects the swamp to his full capability. Contempt is an inadequate description of how real Republicans feel.

  14. The incoming AG must be willing to appoint a Special Counsel to investigate Hunter Biden and Joe Biden for collusion with the Chinese Communist Party!

  15. Barr has taken a lot of Benjamin’s. In the last 3 months, he has turned rogue. He didn’t resign. Trump sent him packing. I suspect this all will come out, in the months ahead.

    He turned out to be, a wolf 🐺 in 🐑 sheeps clothing. NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW! JAIL HIM AS YOU WOULD ANYONE ELSE, WHO WOULD IGNORE JUSTICE. AND PROSECUTE HIM TO THE EXTENT OF THE LAW.

  16. John Durham’s report past overdue is a good indication of Bar’s work ethics Lazy and non productive . He’s never late for dinner tho..

  17. What a huge disappointment Bill Barr turned out to be. He is either dishonest, lazy or incompetent. – Probably all three.

    Good riddance to bad rubbish. Don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.

  18. Barr could not be dog catcher in a small town. Who the hell recommended him anyway? But wait, oh yes, he’s part of the ‘deep state’, it’s everywhere in DC sewer politics. An honest person there doesn’t have a prayer.

  19. Obviously I am not a good judge of character.
    I thought Barr was one of the good guys– not meaning
    a GOP troll but just that he was a genuine non-partisan
    observer.
    Guess I’m wrong.

  20. Barr is not the great American patriot he wants you to think he is. He has been bought and paid for by the very people who hate America to her very core.

  21. Where are these people? If a normal person working in a classified environment did the things Clinton, Biden, Obama have done they would be out immediately and tried. Yet it keeps growing and growing. They all used their power and positions to rob us and put America in position to be blackmailed and used by these nations, especially Biden. We have seen the FBI, CIA, NSA and others bowing to this game and when you have charisma and great power I guess anything goes as long as you get others to go with you and can organize rioters to threaten anyone who is against you to either die by suicided, leave the earth other ways. Will we ever get rid of rampant evil?

    1. I have wondered on those same thoughts several times . the only way I see government getting any better. Is if all true red BLOODED American’s marched to the Whitehouse and threw them all out on their a–. AND then people with real brains that wants their kids to have a safe place to grow and live. Not the ignorance Hillary Obama Biden and kamala hairyass well these DAMOCRAPS HAS DONE TO OUR NATION. !!! THEY ARE MONEY AND POWER GREEDY. AND STILL I THINK SHOULD BE EXECUTED. FIRING SQUAD STYLE. I BEG FOR THEM TO LET ME SQUEEZE THE TRIGGER ON THEM.
