Interior Minister Barr is greatly displeased. He had expectations that his eighth (but who’s counting?) explanation yesterday would have sufficed. Please hold on as he is currently busy grappling for yet another rationale on this matter.

“Would you believe”…? in his best Agent Smart imitation.

The lawmakers proposed creating a website and permitting anyone who bore witness to the events at the public park on June 1 to submit statements, photos and video evidence to document police activity during the incident.

They recognize that the administration itself will stonewall and prevent anyone near the top of any chain of command from testifying. They’re fishing for a whistleblower. Good. Make the website. Get started. Shine a light on this farce.

In a way, we really have to thank Trump and Barr for providing us with most excellent film and audio footage for Biden (and down ballot) campaign ads.

Lordy, there are tapes of the police riot of Tinyman Square!

They will fall harder when we push!

Start your own probe in the House, Dems.

It’s about Trump, so it’s totally appropriate that I stole it.

Trump just wanted to go to church to pray and read his Bible.
He also wanted to inform God what she should be saying positive about him or be fired.

I trust some of the videos will capture disBarr’s “good side.”

What’s to investigate here?

IT’S ON MULTIPLE VIDEOS…TAKE YOUR PICK!!!

This reminds me of articles written after murders that use the phrase “alleged victim” as if the dead guy can get up and go home.

failure of biblical proportions.

Barr is discovering that he is completely out of his depth in attempting to represent Trump personally rather than the American people as he is supposed to do. He needs to look at where Michael Cohen ended up, because Barr may well be headed to the same experience.

Officials initially declined that any tear gas was used on the protesters around Lafayette Square, but they later acknowledged that “denying there wasn’t any use of tear gas was a mistake lie."

FIFY!

Might that probe include a gimp and a whip? That would be fitting, n’est-ce pas?

Will it be one of Barr’s fat fingers extended in reply, or one of Trumps tiny orange fingers extended in reply?

Cohen has been released early, I want Barr to serve his full sentence, then on to the next sentence, and then on to the next…
