The U.S. Constitution provides that civil officers of the United States, which would include the U.S. Attorney General, may be impeached by Congress for treason, bribery or high crimes and misdemeanors.

It’s vitally important that he manages to stretch this out for another couple months.

If he no-shows, ask the questions to the empty chair.
If they can’t be shamed, at least show them who’s the boss.

More bad optics, please. And Subpoenas.

Didn’t an attorney get hired to interrogate Christine Blasey Ford?

Or was that just because she was a woman?

Two options:

  1. subpoena the SOB
    or
  2. accept his demand that congresscritters question him – but assign on really smart congresscritter to question him for an hour on behalf of the entire committee (i.e. just one democrat, and no republican, because they will be asking questions on behalf of the entire committee), then let each committee member get their 5 minutes.
    AND, if 2 is chosen, be ready with a subpoena if Barr refuses to respond appropriately to questions—including the power to have him detained by the sargeant at arms to compel compliance with the subpoena

If I tell my child to do something, and she doesn’t, who, exactly, is the boss?

No it was because the GOP was scared shitless that if they questioned her they would come across as the assholes that they are, So the chickshits hired a woman to do their dirty work for them…

Barr isn’t coming off as looking too brave right now. It’s almost as though he has something to hide. I wonder what that could be.

Just last Fall the GOP Senate hired an outside lawyer to question Dr. Ford about her allegations Brett “Kegger” Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her. Now they are objecting. Barr needs to be subpoenaed. Too bad, assholes.

Taking too damn long.

I not saying this out of frustration of Mueller Report.

I am saying this, when you have someone who is not going to be congenial or lawful, you send the damn subpoena now and haul everyone’s ass in front of Committee. You don’t give them the time to runaround and thump their chest. Get them all under oath and on record.

If they refuse, perp-walk their ass to Congress.

This is where we are people. Normal rules on how professionals would act in the past no longer apply. Dems need to wake up…and soon.

The top law enforcement officer in the country is unwilling to testify under oath if the questions will be asked by a trained lawyer. He is only willing to be questioned by civilians.

Is this the position of a man with nothing to hide? Or is this the position of a man who has only a fig leaf to hide behind, and believes his only hope of success is an incompetent questioner?

“Regardless of how the House Judiciary standoff is resolved, Barr will first appear in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee on Wednesday.”

Barr needs to coverup the coverups of the coverups, it seems.

And no doubt, Miss Lindsey will shake the truth out of him . . . . .right?

Barr is one sickening arrogant son of a bitch, isn’t he? Where does he get off telling an independent co-equal branch of government what, when and how to conduct their own inquiries? He needs to fucking learn to stay in his own fucking lane…or be impeached. The guy is a nothing more than a partisan flack for trump at this point. He doesn’t even pretend to act like an AG for the rest of the country. What’s worse is that we are paying this schmuck’s salary while he abuses the process our founding fathers gave us. You’d think as AG he’d understand the damn law…but noooooo.

I’m not really scared about Wednesday (Harris), but I’d like to read/see a drama free hearing.
