BARR

[MDlaxfan76]

Salty,

Here's the limited aspect on which you and I appear to agree.

This isn't "routine" oversight.

Very serious stuff when you're looking at corruption in the Administration.

Whether corruption in the form of emoluments, or kompromat with a foreign adversary, or obstruction of justice, or the issuance of inappropriate security clearances, or any number of other forms of potential corruption or abuse of power, these are far from "routine" matters.

Impeachment is one remedy, but so too is sunlight.

Our system depends upon sunlight, whereas authoritarianism depends upon the suppression of truth and the total intimidation of opposition.

Nadler is calling Barr to tesify before his committee under their normal power of oversight for his department.
Questioning of Cabinet officers by staff, rather than by members, in such hearings, is without precedent,
To comply would be establishing new precedent, which will surely be abused again in the future.

If it's necessary to have Cabinet officials questioned by staff lawyers, (D) leadership needs to establish a select committee to investigate, or convene impeachment proceedings, where there is precedent for such questioning.

The premise for this is ridiculous. Barr has turned over much more than he is required to provide, To disclose more would be unlawful.
The (D)'s haven't even read the redacted portions which are available to them. They have access to 98 % of the report.
This is a transparent stunt, on it's face. A smokescreen to keep the controversy alive & make Barr the boogeyman.
You're too smart to fall for this stuff.

Like Benghazi

That was a select committee, formed to investigate a specific incident in depth.

It was not routine Congressional oversight of an Exec Branch Dept, which is what Nadler's committee is.

This is unprecedented. It's Congressional overreach & should be resisted.
The (D) leadership should establish a select committee for a specific investigation or convene impeahment hearings if it's necessary for staff lawyers to question Barr.

The Trump Admin is right to resist. Let the (D)'s charge Barr with contempt & the Courts can decide.

Again, so what if it was a 'select committee'.

The rules allow Nadler, as Chair, to set the format. Period, end of story.
The Executive Branch has zero say in the Article 1 authorities.
Stop whining about it.

But, ok, if you actually believe in the unitary authority of the Presidency, say so.
Authoritarianism.

Not just the ladies. Crosses a line.
If you don't know that, we know all we need to about you.

I've always found that the big guys who talk tough tend to be pretty wimpy when facing someone as strong or stronger than themselves. That's when they start whining about being the 'victim'.

In this case, all it took was a guy with a whistle.

Actual 'tough' guys, large and small, don't brag about it.

No calling a girl one does, not a guy. Stop being such a nancyboy and getting them wadded up.

Yeah, nobody ever talks about a fight they were in.

[OCanada]

Brawlers. If your fight lasts more than 30 seconds you haven't done very well.

Idk, some of the Kimbo Slice brawls lasted much longer than 30 seconds.

Laxlass:Please take the plunge. Not to worry,The procedure has moved from complex to quotidian.And it's covered by many insurance plans.Clearly your conflict is manifested by comparing your avatar with your "name". You can remove that larger boulder you carry on your shoulder.Best of luck.

Most deplorables aren't proctologists but they know an a**hole when they see one.

Me too!

Your proctologist is one of the few people you see eye to eye with.

Haven't been too entertained by Bill Maher since Orange Duce took office. Mostly he has spent his time whining about worse case scenarios and blaming others instead of using his brain. Watched him on Friday night and he seems to be back. Great, funny opening monologue:




Great, insightful New Rules segment:

r hero now considering himself with D-Day participants:

AG Barr: "As we've been watching the coverage of June 6, 1944 D-Day, I had the thought that my arrival this time felt a little bit, I think, like jumping into Sainte-Mère-Église on the morning of June 5, trying to figure out where you could land without getting shot."

FOUR MONTHS AGO ATTORNEY GENERAL BILL BARR CALLED BOP STAFF SHORTAGES THAT LED TO WHITEY BULGER MURDER “A SNAFU”

Looks like an prescient appraisal of the BOP -- with emphasis on normal & f'd up.

...while the MSM & AFSCME owned (D)'s rail against contractor detention facilities.

So now we know Barr has been running around secretly investigating the “origins” of the Mueller report, rather than leave it to US attorney John Durham. Makes the exchange when Barr was testifying on the Hill and Kampala Harris asked him if anyone was asking him to investigate anyone quite relevant...

So that our friends who support the Party of Stupid can understand, I will translate:

President Trump sought the assistance of a foreign leader to undermine the credibility of U.S. Intelligence services.

That is an abuse of office and a betrayal of our nation and the American People.

.. ...diplomatic professional courtesy.

Barr asking his foreign counterpart to co-operate with his investigator & to assure him that it's solely the actions of US citizens which are under investigation. ...& to quietly reassure that he won't make an ally look bad for previously helping US investigators.
