Should We Really Buy DOJ’s Efforts To Wash Its Hands Of Trump’s Ukraine Mess? | Talking Points Memo

When several Trump administration figures, from the President himself on down, have labeled the Department of Justice as part of a potential quid pro quo with Ukraine, it’s hard to believe the DOJ’s denials of its involvement.

Ever since Barr took over, there has been no firewall between the WH and DOJ. There is a fire pit that is blazing hot with the flames of conspiracy.

Barr reminds me of Anthony Scalia. Scalia did not care what others thought, he just did whatever he thought was right and just moved on, and so does Barr. He is counting on the tradition that the new administration will not go after the previous one for any wrong doings. He doesn’t realize that he is attacking the previous administration and those rules may no longer apply. Barr doesn’t have the protections that Scalia had and his actions will be scrutinized for a long time after he is no longer the head of the DOJ.

Why would there be a firewall between the Traitor-in-Chief and his consigliere and the consigliere’s minions? Silly libtard, this DoJ exists for only one purpose, to make sure the traditore di tutti traditori gets away with whatever he wants.

Antonin Scalia did not do “whatever he thought was right,” he just came up with whatever “legal” reason he could to pretend the political goal(s) he was trying to achieve was/were “Constitutional.” His whole “Constitutional strict fundamentalist” schtick was BS, and was curiously ignored when it did not provide cover for his decision(s).

Understood. One hopes that the fire pit you mention consumes them all.

No.

Any other questions?

LowBarr does not do whatever he thinks is right, he does whatever is expeditious for his goals, legitimate or nefarious. Sadly for us, most, if not all, of his goals fall into the latter category rather than the former.

The fact that this individual is running around destroying standards and laws unchecked is an abomination.

“…conducting law enforcement investigations for political reasons…”

Any bets on how long it will take before people from the right start saying there’s nothing wrong with this?

I am so looking forward to seeing Barr and his cardboard box full of crap trudge off into the sunset.That creepy bastard is more corrosive to Americans’ sense of justice than is his idiotic boss.

Fattest damn squirrel I ever did see. Although I guess he’ll need that when he “winters over” in Siberia (one hopes).

It’s farfetched and seemingly improbable, but Trump wants to see the names Obama and Clinton on criminal indictments before this is all over. Go big or go home.
It’s almost a certainty Trump has broached the subject with Barr.

Good morning y’all. I’m hoping for an action packed Friday. I just saw an article about a book by an anonymous WH insider coming out.
