    Default Is Rachel Maddow the Attorney General?

    Appearing on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” on Thursday morning, former federal prosecutor Mimi Rocah said that one point everyone was missing about Rachel Maddow’s explosive interview with Lev Parnas – who is implicating almost every major player in Donald Trump’s administration — is the fact that Attorney General Bill Barr is nowhere to be seen.

    Speaking with host Joe Scarborough, Rocah, who served as a federal prosecutor for more than 16 years in the Southern District of New York, said the elephant in the room is Barr’s reluctance to investigate Parnas’ claims with the ex-prosecutor calling the Parnas revelations a “bombshell.”

    “Here’s the thing,” Rocah began. “We can talk, and I would love to talk about specific things that Parnas said, and Maddow did an incredible job not just asking him questions but tying what he was saying to the documents that he’s provided and to the text messages and things like that so that republicans are not even necessarily saying he’s a liar, because what he said is so bad, so damaging, so incriminating. They’re just saying, ‘oh, you know, I kind of, uh, didn’t see it. It’s hard for them to even attack his credibility given the documents and given the evidence he’s given over that corroborates.”

    “But here is the other thing we really need to focus on, it’s so hard. so many scandals with Trump — Bill Barr. Why is Rachel Maddow, who I love and respect, being the one to interview Lev Parnas in this? Where is Bill Barr?” she asked.

    “Bill Barr comes out with a statement, the Department of Justice says this is not true. Now Bill Barr is investigating himself and clearing himself? That’s not how our justice system works,” he said incredulously.

    “He’s Donald Trump’s legal bag man, he’s Donald Trump’s legal hit-man,” host Scarborough offered.

    Once again, what crime is he implicating them in? I'll understand your inability to answer a simple question and attempts to flail and deflect.

    A leftist blog? No wonder you're such an uneducated, simple minded moron. Yet, the House Democrats could only come up with two articles that have NOTHING to do with criminal behavior. Abuse of Power, which was not proven, and Obstruction of Congress which is a laughably stupid claim and again, not criminal.

    STFU; seriously.

    I'm betting Barr would say he is already under investigation in NYC, implying he would say or do anything to get immunity in that case and is not a reliable witness. Everyone on the right would dismiss anything he offered as bogus attacking his credibility as they did Michael Cohen

    How is that a bailout card you simple minded fool? If you think you can impeach and convict a President for doing his job, you're a fucking moron.

    If you think you can impeach and convict a President without high crimes or misdemeanors and for doing his job, you're a fucking moron.

    The Democratic Party of the Jackass and it's low IQ followers are certifiable if they believe that you can impeach a President because you don't like how he is conducting foreign policy and KNOW that you will NEVER get 20 Republicans to vote to convict.

    It is a CLOWN show and quite possibly could lose the House for the Party of the Jackass in November.

    I didn't know using the power of the Presidency to ask foreign nations to investigate political rivals was part of a President's job. And perhaps even using his power to leverage needed foreign aid to get this request was a standard one used to judge accomplishments. I must be missing a lot not watching Fox

    The only problem with both of them is the physical evidence which Trumpublicans are trying to bury. We now know why Barr would not let the DoJ investigate this. Cover Up!
