Barr was stupid to leave that duct tape on the latch bolt of the door.

Corrupt fascist christian conservative whore Bill Barr should be fired. He should have destroyed evidence, covered up and cleared things up legally for the rapist traitor and thug and his filthy family before going on vacation.

Our constitution is hanging by a thread. We are on the cusp of unimaginable fascist tyranny.

Their corruption knows no bounds, and clearly we’ve got a lot of cleanup that needs doing once the orangutan resigns. It doesn’t end with him.

Given the “high crimes and misdemeanors” threshold that our Constitution provides, Pelosi’s committee chairs could be knee-deep in various/multiple impeachment proceedings from now until election '20.

The Justice Department decided that what Trump was seeking on the call — an investigation into the family of political rival — did not constitute a thing of value under campaign finance law and thus an investigation into a campaign finance violation was not warranted.

That “decision” should be a career ender, right there. If it was Barr’s, impeach his double chins.

Rotten to the CORE! I hope the financial records do come out as well; there’s no sense in holding back at this point.

DOJ is acting as if Congress has no oversight function.

Trump’s DOJ doesn’t believe it does.

Nah, they’ll have to wrap this up as best they can before the election heats up. The Iowa caususes are Feb 3rd. Pelosi really doesn’t want the House and possibly the Senate tied up in what will be portrayed as hyper-partisan proceedings during the primaries.

By the looks of things, they’re acting as if Congress does have an oversight function. They just don’t wanna see it in action.

Wow. Just wow.
Not really surprised, but also still somehow surprised at the level of corruption, lies and willingness to put party over country from these treasonous SOBs.

Oh yes, I really want this guy impeached. But would this distract from Trump’s impeachment? Can the media walk and chew gum at the same time? While AGs can be impeached, most will think impeachment is just for the President. It’s clear that Barr’s impeachment could flow out of the President’s impeachment investigation–highly logical. Can media do logic?

Well sure, functioning democracy was a close call here. But, don’t forget that we came this close to having a president who once used a private email server.
