In a tweet on Monday, Grassley said, “Barr recently said ‘this is the closest we have ever come to an organized effort to push a president out of office ‘ leads me to think Durham report any prosecutions til after election so as not influence vote. SAD SAD.” 

“IF NO PROSECUTIONS TIL AFTER ELECTIONS SAD SAD//just think Flynn Mueller Impeachment/ The deep state is so deep that get away political crimes/Durham be producing some fruit of his labor,” he added.

Grassley’s tweet refers to U.S. Attorney John Durham’s investigation into the beginnings of the Russia probe that was launched late last year.

“In terms of the future of Durham’s investigation, you know, he’s pressing ahead as hard as he can,” Barr said in an interview on Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures.”

He continued, “And I expect that, you know, we will have some developments hopefully before the end of the summer.”

Barr previously said that he did not expect Durham’s probe to lead to investigations of former President
