This is the new “normal:” unbridled bullying and corruption of the legal process.

So, it’s not about a lack of competence, or malfeasance, or some personal issue, or inability to get confirmed by the Senate …

It’s all about keeping things Trump and Barr have done quiet and hidden.

Well, we can’t have her answering under oath all those awkward questions about WH interference in DOJ policy decisions, can we?

This is another cover-up, and an admission of guilt. The more laws Trump breaks, the less scrutiny he can take.

I guess he “learned his lesson,” eh, Senator Collins? Senator Brown is also 100% correct. And nothing will change until this crook is booted out of office, along with his aiders and abettors in the GOP majority of the Senate. Vote next November as though your country depends on it.

At this point anyone who trump nominates is a crook. That is not an assumption, it is a fact. Trump’s administration is now full on banana republic.

For Trump it is going back to 1950.

When companies dumped waste into the water and smoke and poison into the air was a sign of prosperity.

When people knew their place.

And schools were segregated.

Next on his list: Return lead to gasoline. (It was better, I am the smartest scientist I know)
