This is what pisses me off about the "no impeachment until magic pixy dust appears" crowd.
Republicans will continue to kick sand in our faces unless we hit them back ... with the law.
If a dem AG even thought about lying to congress as Barr has RussiaPublicans would put them in jail without thinking twice !!!
Republicans wont give ONE DAMN about "liberals" being upset or someone being "popular" because they went through lawful procedures to correct misconduct or even some crap they made up!!!
Damn, ... how in the HELL did Barr get confirmed !!

Republicans would throw a democrat in jail in a hot second if someone lied that openly to them

(90,347 posts)... do it again.
After seeing that segment on TRMS about Barr lying in his "summary" before we KNOW the Mueller report has some crimes from Red Don's family in it.

(90,347 posts)... say it was his opinion but his opinion isn't based off fact that he was willing to share.
That stuff should be impeachable.
As of now it looks like we elect kings for 8 year terms.

(7,142 posts)Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me. As I said in another thread, we need to go after Barr, we need to keep the pressure on him. He looked to me like he will crack. I hear the subpoena is scheduled to go out Friday to release the entire report.
What Barr did in Panama needs to be kept in the news, shit, it needs to make the news other than just be on Rachel.
When the MF traitor comes out with his bogus report, Dems need to immediately subpoena Mueller to testify, to expose the lying piece of traitorous shit.
Dems need to throw the kitchen sink at Barr, make life miserable for him.
Barr has connections to Russia, I wonder how much Putin paid him to cover up the Mueller report?

(7,142 posts)desperate times call for desperate measures. Democrats need to toughen up. God, I remember Ted Kennedy screaming in the Senate, I remember Al Franken taking Jeff Sessions over the coals.
Our Democratic candidates need to speak out against Trump, policies won't mean shit if Trump gets re-elected.
We need more Maxine Waters, Nadlers, Schiffs, AOC's, where the hell is Steny Hoyer?
ancianita
(36,109 posts)kicked to the curb his whole obstruction of justice crime.
He wouldn't be around today if previous administrations hadn't let him slink off like Lord Baelish in GOT.
And I can't believe there was no one on our side to publicly raise his history for the congressional record.

(7,636 posts)Gosh, then they might get mad and not vote for the Democrat in the next Presidential election .
And we have to get high when they go low - or something
watoos
(7,142 posts)Trump's base will vote for Trump whether Dems impeach him or not but not impeaching Trump may discourage Democrats from voting.
Speaker Pelosi needs to put impeachment back on the table, there will never be enough votes in the Senate to convict but that doesn't absolve the House of performing its Constitutional duty to impeach an unfit president who has abused his powers.

(21,164 posts)They always seem to get off. No justice for them. Barr will get off again and die as a footnote In history that he really was a traitor to our country. Ho hum another repuke treasonous asshole.

(7,142 posts)things are different today than they were back in 1989. The Mueller report is going to come out, I have no doubt about that. We have a lot more options to getting the truth out. BuzzFeed has filed a FOI request to release the report and the judge hearing the case has stated that he may have to read the entire Mueller report before he rules.
Barr is holding back the truth, Dems need to keep hammering him, make life miserable for him. It's time for desperate measures.

(42,770 posts)in a nice, concise package. And Republicans having to go on record. "Nothing to see here!!!"
This is worth it's weight in gold.
Sick of this. But if you don't impeach a freaking president who lied us into a war where hundreds of thousands died, when will you. It's just sickening.

(42,770 posts)Silly memo I wrote, don't look there!
Three Dems crossed over to confirm - just remember Manchin. One repuke...voted no-,Paul. If we had held the Dems and gotten three more sane Republicans...Barr wouldn't be there.

(999 posts)The House has nothing to do with Barrs Confirmation. He was confirmed by a Republican controlled Senate. If you think that Lindsay Graham is going to convene a hearing into Barrs lies during the confirmstion hearing then
you will be disappointed.
The House Judiciary Committee will get a shot at him but just who at the Justice Department is going to bring criminal charges againt him. The best we csn do right now is call him out on his lies. We can also tie up the administration in court.
Elections have consequences and all those BOB or Stein voters as well as those didnt vote in 2016 have left the rest of us in a bad spot.
