Wouldn’t it be great if Billy Boy stopped trying to investigate things that are perfectly legal (as if investigating was the DoJ’s business), trying to drop cases where there’s already a guilty plea, and actually prosecuted a criminal once in awhile?

Bizarro AG.

Barr is, once again, trying to run interference for Trump. Trying to change the subject, to rein in the orange sludge. Too little. Too late.

Supported allegations are not legal in the Trump administration.

Wasn’t it reported that Flynn was never “masked” in the first place? Why is this even a thing?

I’d say this is hardly a thing at all. For one, it’s too complicated. Second, Mike Flynn? Who gives a shit? All they got is nothing.

Barr’s comeuppance should be exquisite. I hope it includes scatological immortality a la Rick Santorum.

Hope Low-Barr has already retained a good personal attorney.

They are going to be in short supply when Attorney General Schiff takes over in January

FU-Barr has a nice ring to it…

I actually care a little less about prosecuting Trump in the Biden administration than I do his enablers. Barr, Pompeo, Moscow Mitch, plenty of others all need to be investigated and prosecuted. I don’t care about political capital. If we’re not going to use the power of the presidency to fix this country, what is the point?

This is part of their full court press to November. But the fact that the GOP has to fight tooth and nail for Texas, is heartening.

Here’s a thought Billy…why don’t you investigate all of the police violence against African-Americans…you know…CRIMES.

Sure…any THINKING person knows that. They are simply trying to add some scanty meat to the bones of “OBAMAGATE” That is the only word his willfully ignorant followers need to wrap their heads around. Just try asking any of them why Hillary needed to be locked up and you won’t get a LOT of detail.
