Barr is in charge of the Department of INJustice.

We certainly can’t have the truth coming out, even behind closed doors.

The department of justice doesn’t want us to know the truth. Orwellian to the max.

Ah, but the Ministry of Truth will give us the full story.

I’m willing to go along with Pelosi on not impeaching l’Orange if they instead impeach Barr. It would be an easier lift, and leave the boss dangling out there for duration of his term.

In this case, I mean Shill Barr. 20 years ago, who would have thought we’d end up with a Mafia consigliere as AG?

PS: At least Tom Hagen had some redeeming qualities

Obstruction of justice in plain sight. Trump henchman Barr couldn’t be more obvious.

OT- President Snowflake shall not be criticized by anyone. For he is too fragile not to be praised constantly as a great great president, the best one, better than Lincoln and Eisenhower.

As the article notes, the two are no longer DOJ employees. Would Barr try to get a court to enjoin their appearance before Congress? And would a court go along? Not likely.

exactly, then when he is escorted out of the White House by the next Democratic President right into the arms of the FBI with a huge pile of arrest warrants, we can begin the celebration, world wide.

You can put “If Obama” in front of everything they do and imagine the outrage, the 7-24 screaming at faux news , conservative commentators fainting , Judge Pirro and Hannity’s heads exploding in unison and the complete destruction of society as we know it that would ensue

Obstruction, with a side of contempt for a co-equal branch of government.

Hi! To find out what I can do, say @discobot display help.

[According to new reports in the [New York Times, The DOJ’s interference could muddy the deal that the department and lawmakers reached last month to get Mueller’s testimony.]

It has been surmised that Mueller’s testimony would accelerate the move toward Impeachment Inquiry among Congressional Democrats.

If this stunt results in significant changes in the conditions of Mueller’s appearance and /or cancels it altogether, there should be an immediate move among Democrats in Congress toward Impeachment Inquiry for Trump and Impeachment for Barr.

This situation is beyond your considerable abilities, discobot. No help is possible. We are doomed.
