US attorney general pressed for evidence clearing Trump

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Two weeks after he exonerated President Donald Trump in the Russia meddling investigation, Attorney General Bill Barr faces mounting pressure to show the full evidence behind his decision.

Allegations this week that the US Justice chief downplayed serious evidence of illegal obstruction by Trump in Special Counsel Robert Mueller's final report are fueling demands that he release the entire, unexpurgated document to Congress.

News reports, citing unnamed members of Mueller's staff, said Barr ignored the summaries Mueller's team prepared for public release, and instead issued his own on March 24, in which he peremptorily cleared the president of any wrongdoing.

And Barr now says he will not release key evidence given to Mueller's grand jury, a special panel used by prosecutors in politically-sensitive cases. Democrats suspect the evidence could be damning to the president -- setting up a legal and political showdown.

3. I was one who gave Barr the benefit of the doubt

A seasoned lawyer, a former AG who didn't need this job at the end of long career and a man described by many as an Institutionalist.

But it's become all too evident that Barr is simply a Clean-Up Guy for the Trumpster. Institutions be damned.

I will never understand or forgive what Republicans have done here, the sycophantic devotion to the most unfit and unhinged individual in the WH. All for winning and retaining power.

Never forget. Never forgive.

5. You and many others have awakened to the real

DC motive. Never ever forget Ed Meese and his cover up of Reagan's crap. Remember,he was behind the scenes directing Barr and the Pardons..

All about protecting the GOP and their methods of stealing the levers of Power.

6. Sadly, you're right Wellstone

I've been proven dead wrong. Guess I needed to believe there was still a spark of honor and decency in some of these people, particularly with the well-being of the country at stake.

7. Oh how I wish Honor and well being of Country

was a true day to day item for the Rethugs.

Reading more and more of stories of how wealthy Rethug Donors are financing efforts to divide our Party by creating false Equivalencies and false narratives of certain Candidates.

Major increase in these narratives and Equivalencies on U Tube both in Ads and videos.
