Jeeeeeesus! The information about Barr and his power on AM Joy right now is

[mfcorey1]

frightening. We are all in danger. We must get this video and replay it everywhere. Glen Kirschner breaks it down hown everything ends up being under Barr. No wonder Lev is speaking out.

[gab13by13]

1. Lev told Rachel

that Trump got his power once Barr was in place. Barr may be more dangerous than Trump.

2. No maybe about it. ...nt

[Jamastiene]

3. If you find a link, please share it here and I will share it elsewhere

on Twitter and other places too. I want to help. People need to know.

[IndyOp]

4. MSNBC doesn't keep Joy's show in its on-demand platforms -

Rachel and other shows are there, but not all. If someone posts on YouTube, that may be the only way it is seen widely.

[Pepsidog]

9. Joy should get Todd's job.

[uponit7771]

32. +1, Friday Todd asked a senator should the house have subpoena'd Trumps people and leaves out

... the facts that the court is not responsive to the issue at hand regarding Trump and the elections.

28. Rawstory has video, please see my post

5. The Speaker is certainly aware. Wonder what her plan is.

Pelosi did call barr 'rogue', and 'trumps puppet, or trump was barr's puppet'.

Called for investigation of barr and Ukraine.

Hmmm.

[bucolic_frolic]

8. Impeachment managers must be kicking this subject around

Searching for some angle in the legal code or arcane aspect of law to force recusal or ruling on judicial ethics. Maybe additional Articles, this time against Barr, as Trump's trial progresses? Trump doesn't have the power here, he's on trial. Barr has the power.

How about Senator Harris' well-publicized questioning of Barr at Senate confirmation hearings? He couldn't seem to find a straight answer about whether he'd been asked to launch any investigations. But he seems to have researched his ability to stifle any inquiry against Trump's Ukraine playbook. And look how the evidence keeps being classified so no one can see it.

[empedocles]

25. Suspect barr issue been kicked around since barr's Mueller scam. Timing might

be a major concern, relative to current and future Impeachment Articles to be delivered.

[Eyeball_Kid]

6. It's possible that Barr is the reason that Trump got impeached.

Barr added a protective layer to insulate Trump from accountability. Trump knew it and overreached with his Ukraine gambit, estimating that Barr would make him untouchable.

When the Senate acquits, Trump's dream will come true. He WILL be untouchable. He will have no obstacles to dictatorship.

Just follow the legal logic. Deduce what will happen when clear evidence of impeachable offenses is ignored by the Senate GOPers.

Trials and court decisions set precedents. An acquittal will set a number of precedents that will trigger further violations of the Constitution, with no political or judicial recourse. When the Senate rules that there is no obstruction of justice/Congress in spite of overwhelming evidence, then in future deliberations, obstruction of justice, or Congress, will no longer have legal precedent, and will no longer have legal or political teeth. At a minimum, Congress will no longer have the ability to punish a president, even future actions by Trump, with impeachment if the president ignores legally binding subpoenas, Court Orders, or even Congressional overrides of vetoes.

I'm not understanding why virtually NO ONE in the free press is initiating a discussion of this inevitability: when the Senate acquits, the Constitution will be nullified. Who is asking ANY of the Senators or Representatives what will happen to the Constitution WHEN the Senate votes for acquittal. What are the legal ramifications? What are the consequences regarding the functionality of the Constitution?

Why are there no alarm bells sounding?

Is the free press too concerned that PANIC will set in, so they're denying the obvious?

[Evolve Dammit]

10. Excellent points and questions. I am afraid the selling out of "America" is almost complete.

Two more steps and he's likely there until his death; this trial and the election. I don't understand the last two questions either. I wonder if everyone is just exhausted and trying to cling to "normalcy" as much as they can, and the media as well? It has been a swift (3 years) and calculated, absolute power grab. No doubt about it. Absolutely disgusting how it was normalized so quickly, particularly in the MSM. Watching most programs, you would have no idea what has, and is transpiring.

[Lonestarblue]

14. Media just continues to argue that he's just a "different" president.

No, he is a dangerous megalomaniac, and the media needs to do a better job of reporting facts, stopping the both sides do it excuses, and calling out Trump’s lies and why they’re lies and dangerous to our form of government. Too many citizens either pay little attention to politics or are woefully ignorant of how government should work and thus do not see the dangers of Trump and his enabling AG and Republican Party.

Anyone who thinks Trump and his Machiavellian family and top Republicans like McConnell are not paying attention to what Putin is doing to Russia’s constitution and figuring out how to do the same here to preserve both Trump’s and Republicans’ power forever is just ignoring the obvious. And it’s clear that we need to rely on the media to help preserve our democracy because the current administration is doing everything in their power to destroy it. What we need, and now, is another Deep Throat who will acquire the real transcripts of the Trump telephone conversations hidden on the ultra secret server and release them to someone like Rachel Maddow or David Fahrenhold.

[Evolve Dammit]

26. Absolutely. I wish they had subpoened Brad Parscale, the IT guru about the server recordings.

The released "transcripts" are not transcripts as a court stenographer would perform. 90% of people don't understand this and the MSM doesn't explain it. It is a rendition, which through the testimony of the Congressional hearings became obvious that those assessing the conversation(s) had a LOT of latitude in what was preserved. The only way to know what was actually said, along with Mob-Boss voice inflections and "Code" speak (remembering Michael Cohen's testimony), is the actual recording. Without that, we have a very scant rendition of what transpired on any of those calls, whether it be Putin or any other calls. And, Drumpf's cell phone is totally unsecured, as well as his staff's phones. They simply don't give a fuck for any laws, ethics, legal opinions or any other "norms." What the hell happened to our government other than a total take-over backed by Putin?

[Bernardo de La Paz]

13. Barr was so triumphant spinning Muller's report and tRump bought into it deeply, emotionally. . . nt

17. No more Second Amendment! Maybe that will balance the scale when it comes to gun violence.

Including the possibility of new laws to address so many of the gun-related issues.

19. Very smart to look ahead like this.

It just really illustrates how flawed our system is.

[dchill]

24. This should be a thread on its own!

[EndlessWire]

30. Barr's meddling

in our oversight ability (that new thing where we won't be able to investigate campaigns) is strictly to protect Trump when he steals the election this year.

[bucolic_frolic]

7. I saw the Kirschner segment too

Glenn Kirschner has been ramping it up all week on Twitter. That interview on AMJoy almost begs him to be called to the Senate Trial to answer Dershowitz.

[usaf-vet]

11. A significant part, if not all, of her weekend shows are podcast. Google "AM JOY Podcast."

I know the video would be better. But the podcasts are archived for sure. Today's show will be up later today.

Here are two old shows to get you to the right spot.

https://open.spotify.com/show/0AtY9AiA5Xr9ITGREBSM1K

Other sites as well.

12. ... or the official entrance:

[usaf-vet]

15. Good point. Hopefully video will become available soon.

[Mersky]

16. Here's the segment on YouTube

Otherwise, MSNBC is likely to put out the clip later today.

[bucolic_frolic]

18. This is the guy!

Be very disappointing if the points he makes are not front and center over the next 2-3 weeks. This is all coming to a head if we can find a way around it. It's not healthy to just say, oh, it will all sort out on Election Day!

Thanks for posting! Share, tweet, post, text your network - This clip is important!

[Mersky]

20. You're welcome :) I thought he and Joy did a pretty good job

Of stepping through what’s wrong with Barr’s DOJ under tRump and the Parnas disclosures. This, whether you’re a news hound like me or just becoming aware of the curves of tRump’s impeachment.

[mfcorey1]

27. Thank you for posting!

[riversedge]

29. thanks.

[shanti]

21. He is a wicked man

and must be removed NOW! I hated Session's ass, but Barr is a horse of a different color.

[barbtries]

22. how did epstein really die?

Parnas is right to be afraid. Barr must be mad as a hatter and thoroughly corrupted.

[Fla Dem]

23. Glenn Kirscher on AM Joy video

Starts at about 24:30

31. Barr has to be locked up
