Senator Lindsey Graham, the committee's Republican chairman, rushed to Barr's defense, telling Hirono: "You've slandered this man."

Hey, it worked at the Kavanaugh hearings.

    Republicans, who employed attorneys to question a witness during Kavanaugh’s hearings now get all squirmy when Barr is to be grilled by an attorney.   Yep, that’ll fly.   Meanwhile

    The nation's top lawyer is afraid of lawyers. You couldn't make this stuff up. But of course he's not the nation's lawyer. He's 45's lackey. Reputation ruined forever. He needs to resign and go visit

Geez Mr. Attorney General, was this not important enough to review?  There were more than a few people waiting to hear about this.  Inexcusable!

I loved that part. Harris playing gotcha. Too bad most of us know that senior prosecutors don't look at the "evidence" accumulated in evaluating cases and this one is no different

He's my hero.  "Can we have those notes?" "No."  ????  I was in the Army and a General asked me for a report.  I said the same thing, "No." "It's stupid and you don't need it."  He tried to have me shot.

If Russia were out to get the usa, which I don't buy the whole Russian interference scenario, but if they were antagonistic toward the usa they could not ask for a better situation than what the Democrats have been doing to a duly elected u.s. President.  China must rub their hands in glee as they march as one to do economic battle with the usa and all others.  There will be a heavy price to pay for all this nonsense and it will be your and my children and grandchildren who will suffer.

Take time to view the questions Kamala Harris put to Barr, specifically wrt has the WH asked or suggested the DOJ conduct investigations.

 

Watch Barr squirm as he tries to answer without perjuring himself.

 

If you missed it, don’t fret, it will come up again.

He's like the rest of us, tired of this three ring circus the dimwits have been putting on for over two years now. I have seen some sore losers before but this is getting ridiculous, even the Republicans accepted the last mistake the voters made and we got through it much easier. I hope the legislative branch wakes up and looks in the mirror!

Trumps been openly asking for investigations. even said that he'd have "special" prosecutor look into it during a debate

 

Ofcourse you have to be careful with how to answer yes/no trap questions from a hustler like harris.  

watched that a couple of times. good try from harris but gets where?

If he refuses to testify. There is not much Congress can do about it.

 

1. In the modern world, the House sergeant-at-arms isn't going to be able to arrest the attorney general, who is protected by an armed FBI security detail. As one former White House official once put it, only half in jest, "They have a lot of guns over there."

 2. 

The second method involves seeking to hold a witness in criminal contempt under federal criminal statutes 2 U.S.C. §§192 and 194. The statutes make it a crime to fail to comply with a lawful congressional subpoena and call for the House or Senate to refer a criminal contempt citation to the office of the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, which can seek an indictment from a grand jury.

The problem with this in the current case: All federal prosecutors, including all 90-plus U.S. attorneys, work for Barr, and would be under no obligation to pursue a contempt charge.

3. As a member of the White House team. He can claim executive privilege. Citing a Justice Department policy of not prosecuting a White House official for criminal contempt of Congress if that official had invoked executive privilege at the behest of the president.

You mean the Republicans who claiimed Obama who believed that Obama was ineligible to be President because he was born in Kenya? And who was leading that so called investigation? Does the name Donald Trump ring any bells?

Lock him up.  

 

The good thing is very soon there's going to be an app.  

Maybe we'll call it the donkey app. When I meet someone I will be able to enter their name into the app and it's going to tell me and pull up all their comments and beliefs, about, racism, Pro Trump or Hillary, or white supremacy groups,  and I will know to tell them to f off. 

As a business owner I will know not to hire them as a person I will know to befriend them and at their funeral I will know to piss on their grave.

 

these records will remain for infinity and their grandchildren and great great grandchildren will have to live with this burden.

That didn't sound like the post of a liberal to me. Sounded more from like from the TWILIGHT ZONE. 

People can instantly grasp what a stupid thing it is for Kamala Harris to badger AG Bill Barr about not having gone over ALL THE EVIDENCE HIMSELF personally that Mueller & his team spent 2 years gathering/studying.

 

she knows better but makes for good campaign ad?

Apparently, he has gone over none of it. And just because it takes 2 years to gather evidence doesn't mean it would take anything like 2 years to review it. A book can take an author many years to write. Does that mean reading it will take the same amount of time?

And most of us know that there's a difference between routine cases and one that involves the President of the United States.

Wait for the howls when the indictments start to appear.  We really have not heard anything yet.

so you're suggesting Barr didnt even read the report? mis characterization much?

he states he went through the report but did not reviewing underlying evidence.

standard procedure. The veracity of the "evidence" would fall on Meuller

as he would be the investigator and affiant to the report

I just watched that part and Barr explains clearly.

 

anyway this get dems nowhere as far as collusion nor obstruction claims. that phase is over.

How long before barr is toast?  Surely he cannot carry on like he's currently doing without running into his own legal / serious credibility problems.

 

And how long before he can't protect his master and his master throws him under the bus?
