AG Barr has said that Biden will not be investigated because elections. I recall the DOJ not wanting to prejudice the election by hurrying its investigation into whether Democrats were registering illegal immigrants in California going into the 2004 election. Of course, allowing people to vote illegally also influences elections. I get the reasoning. Innocent and mostly-innocent people should not have their reputations tarnished by a series of accusations that are put-up jobs. This approach shows a high regard for elections being about elections. The high road and all that. On the other hand, guilty people get a free ride because it's an election year, and it doesn't take long to figure that out. They get to look innocent because no one is investigating them. Look how it was spun after James Comey gave a massive dressing-down to Hillary Clinton about her security lapses, but backed off at the last moment from using the magic words that could possibly trigger indictment. Have we heard any Democrats acknowledge that there was anything the least bit out of order since that date?
What was that Sophia Loren movie where she kept getting pregnant because the Italians wouldn't put pregnant women in jail?

I liked Andrew McCarthy's take. Paraphrasing him, 'unmasking' is not a criminal act. The officials authorized to do so have a right to know the information to discharge their responsibilities. Taking their name is a bit of insurance that they will hopefully give the request some hard thought since the next person in their position is going to be able to see that request and maybe declassify it. Elections have consequences.
Those 'security lapses' were actual crimes. At the very least they needed to find and jail her people who were taking the TS mail off the JWICs or NSAnet, stripping the paragraph markings (TS) (TS-SCI) (SAP) etc and then sending them over the regular ole internet to Hillary wherever she was so she could read it on her blackberry. Also, somebody (a lot of them) should have been charged with the crime of destroying evidence and destroying government records. I can see reluctance to pursue Hillary and thus Obama but the little critters were doing the real criminal stuff and all of them walked (Abedin, Mills and the clerks).
