Thanks, but no thanks.

Fool me once, your fault.

Fool me twice, my fault.

You see…they’re not so tough after all. This is about the 5th or 6th time that either Barr or DOJ has made reference to the Barr contempt resolution. He is bothered by it. Don’t be intimidated by his drunken sailor routine. He’s not that tough. Keep pushing.

The response to DOJ should be the shortest letter in the history of Congress. One word will suffice, although two would make the point a little more emphatically.

Uh, no. They’re not going to negotiate in good faith. Whatever they turn over won’t be nearly enough. This needs to go to a damn judge and let it be decided by the courts. Plus, Barr needs to be held in contempt regardless of what happens with the full Mueller Report. He lied to the American people and that’s reason enough.

“If you’d like to do this dance for 6 to 8 more weeks we are happy to oblige.”

Barr has shown that he has nothing but contempt for Congress. Nadler and Pelosi should meet his contempt for them with contempt for him.

Yep! Just a few days ago, Barr was saying something about how reputations don’t matter, that we all die or something. That struck me as an act then and that’s especially true now.

Barr has proven beyond a doubt that he can’t be trusted in any show of ‘good faith’.
He already said in regards to damaging his reputation in the CBS interview “we all die”.
Have to assume any offer is a bait and switch.

Well, at least democrats were polite, patient, and always willing to negotiate while the republic fell.

OT, but surprising. They even say they have the votes to override a veto!

How to read this-

DOJ: We know you’ll eventually get what you want; how can we screw you along the way?

What Nadler’s response should be-

Nadler: Time to start holding your Deputies in Contempt too…

An offer to “negotiate” is nothing but another stalling tactic. The contempt vote needs to stand because Barr is contemptible.

Skip the.blather. if they try to prevent investigations move directly to impeachment. If they still withhold information impeach on that basis plus quite a number of counts for which sufficient facts are already public.
