"The president is fuming that a DOJ report on the early days of the Russia investigation won't be completed before the e******n.

onald Trump and the Republicans had long been counting on William Barr to dig up some dirt on Joe Biden before next month’s e******n. But in recent conversations with GOP lawmakers, the attorney general has dashed those hopes: The Department of Justice report into the origins of the Russia investigation, he’s reportedly told Republicans, won't be ready by E******n Day — much to the chagrin of the president and lawmakers who, in lieu of actual ideas to run on, had apparently been banking on a last-minute boost from John Durham.

“This is the nightmare scenario,” a GOP aide told Axios on Friday. “Essentially, the year and a half of arguably the number one issue for the Republican base is virtually meaningless if this doesn’t happen before the e******n.”

In 2019, Barr commissioned Durham, the United States Attorney for the District of Connecticut, to probe the early days of the FBI’s Russia inquiry, which Trump cast as a political “witch hunt” by Barack Obama and a cast of so-called “deep state” actors seeking to thwart him. Barr has covered the Durham investigation in a noble veneer, but the purpose of the probe has always been obvious — to legitimize the president’s abstruse lies and conspiracy theories, and to deliver an October surprise against Biden to help Trump in his uphill ree******n battle. Barr has already teased “very troubling” findings, and hinted during a Capitol Hill hearing this summer that a public report would be released this fall.

But Trump has grown impatient with the pace of the probe, and has publicly lashed out against Barr — one of his most loyal and effective allies — in recent days. “Unless Bill Barr indicts these people for crimes, the greatest political crime in the history of our country, then we’re gonna get little satisfaction, unless I win,” Trump told Fox Business’ Maria Bartiromo Thursday. “I won’t forget it.”

“These people should be indicted,” he added, calling directly for Obama and Biden to be charged.

His frustration, of course, has spilled onto his Twitter feed, which has been particularly unhinged in the days since his C****-** diagnosis. “Taking too long,” he complained on Tuesday. “Where are all of the arrests?” he asked in a Wednesday tweet about Hillary Clinton. “For the love of God ARREST SOMEBODY,” read a meme Trump retweeted this week.

Such remarks have irked Barr, the Associated Press reported Thursday. But the Trump administration is likely to keep up the pressure, pushing for him to release what he’s got before November 3 — even if the deliberate Durham doesn’t have his report ready by then. “Bill Barr should follow the instructions of the president to declassify and release all the documents the FBI are sitting on,” a White House official told Axios. “There’s no good reason for him to withhold this information.” Whether Durham heeds those calls remains to be seen. But Trump has made clear that bailing him out following Robert Mueller’s investigation isn’t enough; for the attorney general to remain in his good graces, he’ll have to deliver him a win here. “To be honest,” Trump told Bartiromo Thursday, “Bill Barr is going to go down as either the greatest attorney general in the history of the country or he’s going to go down as, you know, a very sad situation.”"
