Part of the Confirmation Hearing of William Barr that most people will not remember
"But I want to make something clear, and that is that this is a complex case. Most – we cannot – we have a standard at the Department of Justice, an indictment standard. We feel we need to have evidence sufficient to support an indictment in hand that we can prove our case in court. And a lot has been said about not wanting to have a political Justice Department. And I agree with that.
… indictment that should be laid down because of political influence.
… that is don't hand down an indictment because of political pressure. Don't lower the standard of indictment just because it's politically convenient….
… Justice is not and should not be driven by a political timetable. I don't know why the people feel we should be handing down indictments immediately…
… to influence the course of this case."
BECAUSE IT WAS FROM HIS FIRST AG NOMINATION PROCESS. This represents an amazing insight on what was to come for us here today. Right Person, Right Time, Right Understanding, Right Courage, Right Reasons.
