But isn’t that the classic subservient posture?
After today’s hearing Barr can publish a dictionary to redefine words. Master of language!
Barr’s tortured logic is so egregious that by the time this hearing is over his spine will look like a twisted pretzel.
Seen and heard enough from Barr: ‘Take a number in the impeachment queue, asshole.’
What are words worth? Words
Words in papers, words in books
Words on TV, words for crooks
Holy crap! Sen. Hirono is ripping Bob Barr a new one.
Clearly only if Bill or Hillary Clinton (D) had done it.
I think that is still off the table. The powder must be kept dry!
Trump’s personal lawyers also privately told Manafort during the investigation that he would be “taken care of,” according to Mueller’s report. In public Trump also called Manafort brave for “refusing to break.”
Barr said all three instances would not be “sufficient to establish” any of the three elements needed to prove obstruction.
Purge the sentences to make the people anonymous (or pretend align them other public official cases) and run them across federal judge. I’m curious if they would judge these actions to be insufficient proof of obstruction.
but in absolutely any other case involving a Democratic politician it for sure would be obstruction, because, universally, IOKIYAR
Sounds like Klobuchar had him on the ropes. Did she finish him? Sweep the leg?
Maybe Le Dotard will start hating Barr because females are making him look weak and ridiculous. Let SNL choose their new, ongoing Barr parody actor/actress carefully.
John Goodman, all day long.
Trump: “PLEASE OBSTRUCT JUSTICE FOR ME!”
Feinstein: “Mr. Barr, the president just asked specifically for justice to be obstructed…”
Barr: “By saying ‘please’ it indicates that although trump may have been amenable to certain outcomes, he was not actually ordering anything that may be construed by partisans as wrongdoing. Also if the President does it , it’s not illegal as someone wrote in a memo somewhere”
No one but John Goodman will do.
Barr Bends Over Backward To Defend Trump
It is his job, that is the only reason he was hired. Obstruct, collude, whatever it takes to distract from The Dumpster’s house on fire.
Barr did take great care to say that the OLC memo ONLY APPLIES TO THIS CASE, so yeah.
Laws for thee but not for me!
and @dicktater. John Goodman played the Newt Gingrich House Speaker who shut down the Government to extort the Martin Sheen President in Aaron Sorkin’s political fantasy genre tv show.
