    Barr's language is embarrassing. He is supposed to be the AG and he is deep into right-wing conspiracies. He uses Infowar's language, not the language of the law and high politicians. He is our general of righty conspiracy theories. Barr has stated he is a backer of the imperial presidency. He should never have been voted in by the Senate. They knew he was a righty, not a fair arbiter of the law, but nobody thought he was this crazy.

    where do you see that happening? If you mean subpoenas,Trump is contesting that on a separation of powers.

    Riddle me this:
    Why isn't Schiff filing a suit to compel testimony by Mulvaney and Bolton?
    If Schiff wants the testimony he's going to have to enforce the subpoena by court order

    Holder didn't think he was the US Attorney General either, did he?

    Common sense is not a gift, it's a punishment because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.

    Think about his quote:

    Meaning, basically, that billy barr thinks Trump is above the law, he can do anything he wants, that Congress, a branch the Constitution created as an equal branch, can not question if the President has broken the law. Tell me that makes sense to you?

    If Trump did shoot someone on 5th Avenue and said it was in the execution of his power as Chief Executive bill barr would conclude he couldn't be charged with the murder
    “Presidential powers are not exercised by a body or group. The Constitution vests 'all executive power' in one and only one person – the president," Barr wrote. "The president need not 'convince' his subordinate that his decision reflects the best view of the law."

    Meaning exactly what it says, nothing more, nothing less.

    A/G Barr gave an informed opinion that is held by many Americans... “that President Donald Trump's political opponents have pursued a "scorched earth, no-holds-barred resistance" meant to "sabotage" his presidency.”

    You may not like this president but the actions taken by some at the FBI, the CIA and the State Department constitute exactly what A/G Barr said...sabotage.

    bingo. more facets of the Deep State.
    They are pissed at "irregular channels" - but the Snakes Dept is out to sabotage what they don't like.

    The diplomats don't want their fiefdom questioned, and the CIA Creeps in the NSC leek and oppose Trump

    They put themselves above the Constitutional order of serving POTUS

    Abortion rights dogma can obscure human reason & harden the human heart so much that the same person who feels
    empathy for animal suffering can lack compassion for unborn children who experience lethal violence and excruciating
    pain in abortion.

    Unborn animals are protected in their nesting places, humans are not. To abort something is to end something
    which has begun. To abort life is to end it.

    Bolton said he would honor a subpoena. He is expected to testify. Mulvaney is an unknown. Would he be lawful and honor a subpoena or hide in a hole in the ground at Trumps behest.

    USA TODAY


    “WASHINGTON–Attorney General William Barr said Friday that President Donald Trump's political opponents have pursued a "scorched earth, no-holds-barred resistance" meant to "sabotage" his presidency.

    "The pursuit of scores of investigations and an avalanche of subpoenas is meant to incapacitate" the administration, Barr said in a biting address to the conservative Federalist Society.

    The attorney general, in a full-throated defense of the president, said the political "harassment" contravenes the intent of the Constitution's framers who, he said, meant to provide the chief executive with sweeping authority.

    "I am convinced that the deck has been stacked against the executive," Barr said.

    Barr's remarks came as Trump has been swept up in an impeachment inquiry over allegations he pressured Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to open investigations into political rival and former Vice President Joe Biden and his son, who served on the board of a Ukrainian energy company.”

    Barr's only purpose in life is to protect Trump.
