Is there anyone in this Administration who does not desire an authoritarian coup?
The Kims of North Korea would applaud…
John Goodman will play him in the movie. Or Fred Flintstone will.
Barr is a partisan, but he’s no Whitaker. I doubt he’ll fall on his sword to protect Trump.
Really? I thought Goodman would pack back on 100 kg and play Trump.
I’d be more worried if Barr interferes with SDNY. And now with the House Judiciary Committee’s list of who they wan to see documents from, all documents that have been previously turned over to Mueller or SDNY then the info will get out there.
On the other hand the battle maybe heating up to indict a sitting President. How does Barr look at attaining the Presidency by hook and crook?
And of course he’s a suck up
Barr is not an Elliot Richardson … Barr calls balls and strikes based upon how it matches up with his political philosophy/agenda. Standing on principle - refusing to be party to a Saturday Night Massacre … is not in him.
he had chosen not to recuse on the advice of “senior career ethics officials.”
lol, would those ‘senior ethics officials’ include the WH abomination, jr. and jared?
Lock him up!
Specially after the treatment that Whitaker received from Trump, just dumped to face the music by himself. Totally deserved by the meathead.
Schiff and Swalwell are watching Barr even more than we are.
Whatevs. Barr isn’t going to be able to boss around Mueller or stop the tempest coming from the House of Representatives.
Barr is too late to do anything about Mueller. That train has left the station. He may try to bury it, but that report is going to be like Glenn Close in the bathtub.
I don’t think it matter. The House got the snowball moving in the right direction and contrary to mueller’s office which doesn’t leak, democrats have no incentive to keep findings quiet, the ball will get much bigger on the way to the WH.
This is difficult to fathom. Is it to protect Mueller by sidestepping Putin’s Bitch? Is he the new Rosenstein?
Hope for the best, plan for the worst. Buy extra piano wire and rope. The traitor count is enormous and growing daily.
Yes, Virginia, there are plausible conspiracy theories.
Trump’s efforts to undermine investigations of his criminality continue on schedule.
Well, the House can call Barr to testify, and get him to explain all about this decision.
Inquiring Americans will want to know, among other things, just who were those ethics experts he consulted with. And let’s read his editorial back to him and have him explain, line by line, what his reasons were for each statement, tying that back to a copy of the Constitution on display. Oh, and ask him what he thinks about the House’s conduct of these matters, including having him come before it…does he have a problem with that or does he think it’s a healthy component of our democracy, or what?
With that giant mystery cleared up, I’ll go back to wondering whether the Earth will continue to orbit the sun tomorrow.
I keep wondering why it is the conservatives who keep fighting for an imperial executive branch - can someone explain the reasoning behind that again?
