Pressure? Please! Barr was more than happy to do it without pressure.

Well we the people will not take the word of a mere deputy WH press secretary, we the people demand the complete denial and blaming others for the Presidents actions to be delivered by the WH press secretary herself, Staph (infection) Grisham.

Like his predecessors in the Bush jr admin he is a spokesperson for a corrupt, lying buffoon and therefore he is lying and a corrupt person for selling his soul so cheaply. This is a person who also would have lied about the size of dotards inauguration crowd just as surely as Spicer did. How does he sleep?

Just yesterday Trump told reporters he had an absolute right to tell DOJ what to do and yet claimed he did not talk to Barr about Stone. We may as well rename the country the Republic of Trumpistan. Dems get your act together. VOTE!

Dear Republicans…

Your boss is sticking a skewer through your hearts in damn near real time. Senator Collins, prepare to furrow brow!. That brow is going to furrow so much that it will swallow mountains whole. It is going to take time, but the Republicans are going to go extinct. The mountains, no so much.

There is no deep state and the quotation marks around it don’t mitigate the damage.

Did I miss something years ago in civics class? Is the president “the chief law enforcement officer in the US?” Does Trumpty Dumpty get to wear a huge gold plated sheriff’s star?
