Because Trump felt “falsely accused” by special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation, which he felt was “propelled by his political opponents,” it was only natural that he would try to stop it, Barr testified.

At work, and can’t watch. Did “our” Attorney General actually just say that?

Wow…Shit…FFS…

Why should we sympathize with that persecution maniac instead of asking him to seek help from psychologists?

If the accusations were false, then you’d want the investigation to continue. Right? An innocent man would demand an investigation into his own behavior to refute false accusations.

So if I think there’s no good reason for you to be alive, it’s ok if I interfere with your life and kill you?
This essentially is what our Attorney General thinks?
Wow.

  1. Trump in his whole public life has ALWAYS thought that the truth is unfair. It is why he lies every time he opens his mouth.

  2. This manipulation method is a Roy Cohn Thing. Clients Joe McCarthy and Mafia mob bosses did it at his instruction, too. Even Cohn as he was dying of AIDS denied his homosexuality.

  3. NEW BUMPER STICKER: Barr lies; Democracy dies.

Let’s see how this “defense” flies in any real court of law in this country.

Barr should be disbarred for life.

Trump could not have felt falsely accused when Trump had to know the accusations to be true since he participated and was fully aware of Russia’s involvement in his election.

Did trump feel “falsely accused” when he told Comey to lay off Flynn?

I think the president felt rightly accused and that why he obstructed justice 10 known times

I think I’ll go out and kill someone who I think deserves it…

then threaten any witnesses because I think its unfair to investigate me for murder.

And I’ll call Barr to explain to the judge why I shouldn’t be charged with obstruction.

Wrong noun. Gruel goes in. Barr is propelling this thin lumpy mix out the other end. With gas.

Why do feelings of guilt trump the 100+ contacts with a variety of Russian agents by the campaign, ALL of which were vociferously denied by Trump, et alia?

Kavanaugh surely didn’t feel that way.

So, Bill Barr supports the theory of sovereign citizenry.
But only if you’re a Republican.

Yep, every single step made has been one to stop clarification. Not an iota of cooperation. No, that is not an innocent man looking for vindication. By this point, if Trump were a mere civilian, he would have convicted himself in minutes.

TPM’s nanny-bot is going to reject a comment which is all-caps, so here’s the text which will get around that. That being said,

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Jesus, Bill. That’s all you’ve got?
