The IG got the Whistleblower complaint on 8/12. Congress didn't get notice from him until 9/9. Somewhere in that timeline, with Trump on notice of the complaint, DOJ declined to open an investigation. To be clear - not to bring an indictment. Barr decided not to even open a case.

On the basis of what has been presented, Barr made the right decision. If this all had been an actual trial, with the mountains of supposition and hearsay that the prosecution has presented, versus the limited but direct evidence that the defense has given, I could not honestly convict. |

That’s not how the process or law works.

Funny how the Constitution and rule of law have so much flexibility when you don’t get the results you want
