So you don't think "trump" is a liar? ????

 

 

Thats a bit rich coming from a network that pushed a total conspiracy theory and hoax 24/7 for 3 years and presented it as fact. No wonder their ratings took a hit as well. Can't believe that lot and CNN still have a broadcasting license.

 Just reading through this thread, it is clear why Barr didn't bother testifying. We are dealing with mass psychosis the likes never before seen. I wish I knew how to treat this, pulling hoax news outlets licenses would be a start at least.

Press is the enemy of the people, right?

That's the classic game of dangerous authoritarian demagogues throughout history.

I'm not saying that he hasn't been known to stretch the truth. But I don't think CNN is any more honest.

Which is why you were against Infowars, and all other right of center outlets being de-platformed and attacked? Banned from Youtube, banned from Facebook, Twitter etc etc.

 Or is it only the center and right of center press that is the enemy of the people? Is that an honest stance I wonder.

Yes, you don't think.

Anyone making a claim like that is not looking at or doesn't know or doesn't care about facts.

It's called congressional oversight. A constitutional obligation. 

Sure, but I don't think this dog and pony show going on now, is what they had in mind.

If Congress is really concerned about the integrity of elections, she and the DNC should be looked at, they are the other half of the 2016 election. But we know that is not the real purpose of these hearings don't we.

Funny how the Liberal media called Obamas lies, False Claims.

But, call Trump's false claims as Lies.

Thanks for confirming my opinion.

And don't forget to look at Benghazi, emails, Clinton Foundation and everything else that has been investigated by republicans many, many times.

You will be happy to read the NYT article on how the Obama camp conspired with the Ukrainians against Trump.

You forgot the Lincoln assassination:

Fox: New Evidence Hillary Killed Lincoln

The latest charge against Mrs. Clinton was reported by Fox host Sean Hannity, who said that the evidence of her role in the Lincoln assassination came mainly in the form of e-mails

For the record the DOJ has refused congress request and subpoena for the unredacted Mueller report.

The Democrates will eventually get it. The DOJ will be held for contempt and even Donalds loaded Supreme Court will not be able to stop the unredacted report going to the Oversight Commitee which has the highest

security clearance.

All that would do is give them a peak into ongoing grand jury cases.

They Dems might even find their own names there. we'll find out eventually 

and coup plotters will get theirs too eventually.

The House is going to look rather impotent...unless they exercise their constitutionally mandated authority.  Arrest Barr.  That would change everything.

 

 

[Baerboxer]

The Democrat members on the committee come across like spoiled children, behaving badly. The report confirmed their was no collusion despite many of them still trying to insist there was; because they know better. They've fallen into the trap of believing their own propaganda and wishful thinking is reality just because they want it to be and they say it is. 

 

Now they turn on the messengers. Any thing they can find to hound, discredit, nit-pick, in the hope people will forget the actual conclusion. There was no collusion despite Democrats, and their tame media, insistence they had absolute proof. 

 

Pelosi and a gang of POTUS long shot hopefuls are even trying to bully and vilify the AG in unprecedented ways. Presumably they are immune from slander? Even their own Democrat committee chairman has censured them.

 

If I was American, I'd be very concerned with how the Democrat Party are now trying to use the DoJ, Courts, and Law has political weapons. It's a trait normally associated with the extreme left. Oppose us, challenge us, defeat us and we'll start a witch hunt to bring you down - very Stalinesque. 

 

It smacks of desperation of people who believe they are entitled to rule, and only them.

Did he also speak out about arresting Clinton when she was very economical with the truth to congress?

 

Another Democrat who wants to use the law for political purposes - as long as it's his side doing it!

Pravda - the truth.

 

And how similar some media and politicians in the US now appear in actions to the old Stalinists.

 

Let's have a show trial for President Trump, AG Barr and a few others - charge them with being bad citizens and not supporting the Democrats!

"The report confirmed their was no collusion"

You're an intelligent man, why do you say this, knowing it is not true?

screenshot of relevant section from report.

no coordination = no collusion for people not suffering from tds

 

"investigation did not establish that the 
Trump Campaign coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference activities."

I found a good writeup on the legal theory of obstruction, statues and interpretation of Barr and Mueller. 

 

just fyi

Everything has to be done to force this mans resignation. He is a disgrace, a con man, and a man totally lacking in dignity, objectivity, honesty, and integrity. Not great qualities for an attorney general. He needs to be removed, asap. He is a hazard to the American people.

Speaking as a deplorable, repulsive and loathesome example of an American citizen, I think Mr. Barr is doing a great job and I look forward to him defending MY civil rights to be free of .govs politically motivated ginned up fake criminality.

 

Hey maybe some may call it treason.

Every single thing that Barr has done since installed, has been politically motivated. What universe are you living in? Where is your objectivity? Too much kool aid?

Not yet. It has been redacted beyond recognition, due to fear, and immense guilt.
