UPDATED: Too Big To Jail?
That's the title of one of CTH's latest attacks on AG Bill Barr--the implication being that Barr regards some of the Russia Hoax plotters as "too big to jail." Evidence? It's a long post, typical at CTH, but the only hint at presenting evidence comes at the end in a Paul Sperry tweet:

BREAKING: Carter Page revealed on John Solomon Reports podcast that special Spygate prosecutor John Durham's team has not contacted him for an interview or asked him for any docs or records, even tho Durham is believed to be investigating FBI officials who illegally spied on Page
Sundance thinks that if Barr/Durham were serious about the whole Russia Hoax--especially including the Wikileaks/Assange angle--then they would have interviewed Carter Page.
But ask yourself: Why? What would be the point in interviewing Page?
The FBI is now admitting that at least some of the FISAs on Page were "illegal." The FISC agrees. That part of the investigation is in the bag.
How did they come to that conclusion of illegality? Easy. They looked at internal FBI files and records. The proof is in writing, in FISA records, in emails, in FBI asset files, etc. There was no need to ask Page anything to arrive at the conclusion of illegality. After all, what would Page know? The FBI was spying on him--that means what they did was done in secret, without Page's knowledge. By the very nature of it all, Page would have no information of value. Which is pretty evident to anyone who has listened to one of Page's many TV interviews. Page had no personal interaction with any of the main players at the FBI or DoJ. He has no records that would shed light on what was happening at the FISC.
Sundance is wasting our time with this stuff. If we don't see results by summer, as promised by Barr, we'll know we've been had. Till then, I'll be patient.
UPDATE: In another recent post sundance suggested strongly that AG Barr is burying all Ukraine related investigations and will ignore the evidence that Rudy Giuliani has collected:
Unfortunately along with Judiciary Chairman Lindsey Graham, the Senate finance and Senate Foreign Affairs committees refuse to review [Giuliani's] information due to the sensitivity of the politics. Additionally, Attorney General Bill Barr has told his lawyers that no investigations of political corruption will be permitted without his direct approval.
This, too, appears to be nonsense. Time is reporting:
Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said Attorney General William Barr told him during a conversation Sunday that the department has “created a process that Rudy could give information and they would see if it’s verified.”
