DiGenova to Newsmax TV: Obama, Biden Shaming 'More Important' Than Charges

Attorney General William Barr may have said he doesn't expect a criminal investigation of former President Barack Obama and his vice president, Joe Biden, but that doesn't mean U.S. Attorney John Durham won't expose their actions in his reports on the origins of the Russia collusion investigation, former U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Joe diGenova told Newsmax TV Monday. 

"Those are two different things because I happen to believe that the public shaming of President Obama and Vice President Biden is far more important than indicting them," diGenova told Newsmax TV's "The Howie Carr Show."

Carr commented that he thinks Obama is "shameless," particularly after watching part of his commencement speech on Saturday, and as for Biden, "I don't think he remembers what he did yesterday, let alone when he was vice president."

DiGenova replied that Obama's "arrogance is unfounded," but he also thinks he's decided to be "Joe Biden's press secretary and to defend him."

"He knows that what's coming down the pike in terms of public disclosures about what he did and what Sally Yates and the rest of them did is all going to come out now and it's pretty disturbing," said diGenova. "He thinks that it won't matter, that it'll roll off of him because he's always been treated that way by the media."

But what matters, he added is "history, and as the attorney general said, the victors write history and in that sense, we have a great guy writing the history in Bill Barr."

The report, said diGenova, will likely outline what "length the entire administration went to take down the president of the United States. 

Carr and diGenova also discussed the appointment of retired Judge John Gleeson to assist U.S. District Court Judge Emmet Judge Sullivan by presenting arguments against the government's call to dismiss charges against former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn. Gleeson, a former U.S. District Court judge in Brooklyn, co-wrote a Washington Post opinion piece urging Sullivan to deny the motion and proceed to sentencing Flynn.

DiGenova added that he and his wife, attorney Victoria Toensing, have filed a motion in the D.C. circuit Monday to allow Flynn's attorney Sidney Powell and others to become members of the court so they could file pleadings in Flynn's case.
