The Bill Barr Thread

I will fix this for you:

“Republican reps seem to be confused.”

Has Barr reversed himself on Mueller testifying to Congress yet? He initially said he had no problem with Mueller testifying, but Trump says Mueller shouldn’t/can’t testify.

If Barr reverses himself, I can’t think of any clearer evidence he’s not acting as Attorney General for the people of this country, but as Trump’s long-desired Roy Cohn, only he’s running the DOJ and has all the power that comes with that position.

Just wandered in to hear a bit of Louie Gohmert’s confusion. What a bunch of shills. I suspect we’re going to hear a lot of whataboutism from this cast of cretins.

What’s this “seems” baloney??

He is in a state of desperation. His “privilege” claim is balderdash and tommyrot, but it will move things to the courts where delay equals “winning!”.

Marco Rubio made a strong statement against Barr (for real, not sarcastic).

No he didn’t. Unless I’m missing something, that was a strong statement against Eric Holder from several years ago.

He made that statement in 2012.

You prolly should have listened to the video more closely at :56, eh. :smiley:

Wow! That shows just how amazingly hypocritical he is that I completely had no idea that he wasn’t talking about the current situation!

(And apologies!)

As a side issue, Donald Trump Jr. has been subpoenaed by the Republican led Senate intelligence committee.

I’ll have to give Marco the benefit of the doubt and chalk it up to a slip of the tongue.

Thank you. That’s pretty much my exact sentiment towards Angry Lid’l’ Donny, every single member of his “administration,” every single Republican who lies and covers for him, every single member of his family (yes, including Barron - what kind of a STUPID name is that to give a kid, BTW?), every single person whom he THINKS is his “friend,” and, MOST of all, to every single lizard brain in this country who voted for him for Prez. I will NEVER forgive any of those people for what they have done to this country by voting that “person” into the W.H. N-E-V-E-R.

Yeah, well you gotta stop them first. What are you gonna doooo?

They don’t care. They are more interested in debasing women, blacks, and Latinos. They are at war with progress and diversity, and they are willing to kill people and put others in jail for it.

What are you gonna do about it?

I dunno about you, but I’m gonna sit around on message boards and pester people about what they’re gonna do about it.

Call your congressman!

Good God, man… for a second there I thought I was going to have to respect Marco Rubio for something. Don’t ever scare me like that again!

What’s up with this? There is SO much going on everything is focused on the super big things and the just regular big things are getting overlooked. Is this something I should be getting happy for in my desire for JUSTICE? Or is it some GOP trickery?

And a third, much more distant possibility… is Trump throwing Jr to the wolves to save himself?
