    Default Barr to testify before House Judiciary Committee

    The arrangement comes as Democrats have demanded answers about Barr's apparent intervention in the sentencing of President Donald Trump’s longtime ally Roger Stone, who was convicted last year on charges that he lied to congressional investigators and threatened a witness.

    On Wednesday morning, Trump hailed Barr for "taking charge" of the matter, confirming suggestions that it was the attorney general himself who intervened.

    Barr's appearance before the committee will bring him face to face with some of Trump's fiercest political adversaries, including Chairman Jerry Nadler, who subpoenaed the Justice Department last year to obtain Mueller's underlying evidence and has gone to court to overrule Barr's refusal to share the grand jury evidence Mueller collected.

    Democrats have a long list of issues they're likely to press Barr on, including his involvement in decisions surrounding Trump's decision to withhold military funds from Ukraine last year, and his handling of a whistleblower complaint about the episode that DOJ determined should be withheld from Congress, overruling an intelligence community inspector general.

    Barr will just continue the severe beating Democrats have been taking.

    Well, there’s a method to their TDS madness with Barr lol.

    They would never admit it, but there’s a potential shit-storm for Democrats with the Durham investigation. If some of the jokers involved in the Russian investigations get indicted, last week won’t be Democrats ‘worst week’. If that happens, Democrats haven’t seen a bad week yet.

    And it will be close to the election. So even though they have little chance of removing Barr—you can’t blame them for trying.

    Makes one wonder why, everybody knows Barr will lie his ass off to cover Trump, you are going to see a lot of Barr's usual, "repeat the question," "I don't understand the question," "what does suggest mean," "I don't remember," and of course the predictable Executive privilege catch all, waste of time

    Also, don't be suprised if Trump kills his appearance, from experience, the last thing Trump wants is any of his ass kissers taking questions under oath, even Barr

    Don't get your hopes up there "DO," at best, Barr's "investigations" will hang some low level beaurcrat out to dry, his purpose isn't to prosecute anyone, that is too opened and closed, rather to create enough gray area so the likes of Hannity and such can run with endless inneundos till after the election. The timing will tell it all, I predict right before or during the Democrat Convention, or if Trump has another major blunder, then he will need the deflection

    And in the end the irony is no one will care, other than Trump echoing he was a victim, funny in itself, and as I said the Hannitys portraying it as big deal, Americans won't care, none of the figures you think will be involved are still active or relevant to anything occurring now

    The lying evil twin of Fred Flintstone deserves to go down in flames. I hope the investigative journalist who exposed Epstein is working on exposing Barr and his role in the Epstein "murdering'" himself BS to cover-up for Trump.

    A Modest Proposal For Separating Blue States From Red

    Dear Red-State Trump Voter,
    Let’s face it, guys: We’re done.


    It is a tragedy that so much of the work that so many men and women toiled at for so long to make this a better country, and a better world, has been thrown away, leaving us all in such needless peril.

    This is why our separation in all but name is necessary.

    Your first paragraph describes the Mullet investigation lol.

    Never could quite find that collusion in spite of the endless innuendos.

    I’ll stop short of predictions, but there’s enough ‘there, there’ that it should give Democrats at least some pause. Maybe not with the rank and file that tune into Maddow but I’m confident the big wigs see a potential train wreck coming in the Durham report.

    For example, Mullet uncovered no underlying crime in his investigation. It’s plausible the whole thing was a ruse intended to provoke Trump into an obstruction trap. What did House Democrats hope to hang on Trump at the conclusion of the Mullet investigation? It wasn’t a criminal conspiracy with the Russians—they wanted to charge him with obstruction.

    Barr gives the appearance of ‘being on to it’. Maybe it’s a dry hole—but if it’s not, it’s going to get very ugly. Historically, ugly.

    There’s an explanation for Mullet’s bizarre behavior that has nothing to do with his brain slowing down or whatever: Mullet may be a man who knows he’s been caught with his hand in the cookie jar. Recall that he seemed to ‘not know’ what was in his own report.

    Did he know Russian collision was a dry hole when he signed on? Maybe Durham will want to see ‘the state of the evidence’ the day Mullet was appointed. Probably a dumb question, actually.

    Democrats, their media arm and some other people are watching this very carefully. Stone is the sideshow. Nadler wants rid of Barr to either get control of Durham or even better, get rid of him.

    Of course, they are going to investigate Barr. They have nothing to lose.

    I am never surprised by how wrong you always are and a shitty speller too.
