I know that there's at least 4 powerful people, who ain't buying the Barr BS

[vlyons]

Leader Nancy Pelosi, Chairman Adam Schiff, Chairman Elijah Cummings, and Chairwoman Maxine Waters. And not a single one of those people are afraid of squat.

[leftynyc]

1. Chairman Nadler

is already in talks with the DOJ to set up a date for Barr to testify.

[riversedge]

2. Now we learn that Barr had 3 weeks to get his legal argument in place for him to make the decision

on obstruction of justice for Trump (instead of Mueller doing it).

Yet, Barr had already determined Trump had not obstructed justice. It is going to be ugly. But as you say, we have strong Democrats to fight the good fight.

[bigbrother05]

5. Barr wrote an opinion piece stating POTUS couldn't obstruct

That was his resume for getting the AG job. This was prewired.

Note the key word in the conspiracy portion, no coordination with the Russian GOVERNMENT was found. Without the underlings linking Trump to Putin, that isn't proven for criminal court.

The House committees will be able to have public testimony making it obvious what happened, that's what brought Nixon down.

[onetexan]

6. Thats because Barr had already preplanned what he was going to summarize regardless

Of outcome. The fool covered up for the Idiot.

[rockfordfile]

21. Hey Trump knew from the start the white wash was put into place.

[world wide wally]

3. Just don't let Mueller off the hook for not pursuing the Russian connection.

That sounds brainless to me.

[vlyons]

7. and don't let Mueller off the hook

for not interviewing Trump Jr, Princess Ivanka, and Kushner. Or at least getting their attorneys to publicly invoke the 5th Amendment.

[lostnfound]

8. Do we KNOW that he didn't? What we know is some twisting from Barr, right?

We don’t know anything yet, do we?

[berksdem]

15. exactly...

there is still so much to learn from the ENTIRE report. I think it is in bad taste to bash muellar until we know the entire report. just b/c something did not go the way we had hoped does not mean that due diligence was not performed. Some folks need to take a deep breath...

[KPN]

19. Do we know that Mueller wasn't forced to

wrap up his report despite not having interviewed or subpoenaed Kushner, tRump Jr, Ivanka or tRump himself??

Personally, I wouldn’t be surprised by anything at this point. This is a massive scandal with lots at stake (more than most of us could imagine). I wouldn’t be surprised if lives are at stake somewhere in this intrigue.

We need to get to the bottom of it.

[Callmecrazy]

25. Oh please...

The report has been released. No collusion was found, thank God.
The investigation was handled professionally. There's nothing there.
LET IT GO. MOVE ON WITH YOUR LIVES.
There are other investigations going on. We'll see what they find in due time.

[KPN]

33. Seriously?

[berksdem]

30. I get it...

Any Democrat wants this asshat out of office but I am staying away from the conspiracy theories... Yes, we need to see the full report and then draw conclusions but to bash Muellar when the full report is not available is ridiculous.

We don't have to find the results satisfactory to our wants and wishes. We need to get the fing vote out and get th is clown out of office.

SDNY is still key... Let them investigate until the cows come home but blaming Muellar is really misguided as things stand now.

[KPN]

34. OFFS, who bashed Mueller here? Not me.

So you don't think Whittaker and/or Barr were pressuring Mueller to wrap things up, eh? That's awfully rusting of the party and people who brought you ... let's see, near normalization of the white supremacist movement, dismantling of ACA, trillion $ tax cuts for gazillionaires, gaslighting the global warming issue, etc,. etc., etc.

Geesh.

[lagomorph777]

23. And don't assume we have any idea what Mueller really said or did.

We only know what Barr claims Mueller did, and Barr has already demonstrated his dishonesty: first during Iran-Contra, and more recently with his "The President can't commit obstruction" claim.

[Bonx]

26. We need to investigate Mueller.

[uponit7771]

4. Looks like there's a disconnect also between Trump base and Trump Kremlin Klan

I noticed him there are a lot of trumper's who want to see the whole report also

[coti]

11. Ha ha, whoops

Get the memo, Trumpers...not the report!

[tableturner]

9. Just like they didn't like the Merrick Garland stonewall....then we got Gorsuch and Kavanaugh!

Edit for spelling.

[Thomas Hurt]

10. Trump knew all of this before the report came out, that is why did not tweet anything all weekend.

It would have given it away.

[Botany]

12. Add John Lewis to the list

In an exclusive interview with NBC News' "Meet the Press," Rep. John Lewis, D-Ga., said he does not believe Donald Trump is a "legitimate president," citing Russian interference in last year’s election.

[ProudLib72]

13. The timing here is what is important

It was necessary for them to get the narrative right at the outset. Now the country knows that Rump didn't do it. Our attorney general has said so. That just steepened the grade for us in this uphill battle.

[uponit7771]

14. +1, even the Mueller report says 100% opposite we're in an uphill battle.

[ResistantAmerican17]

16. Proving one more time

That Bill Barr is indeed the Winston Wolf of the repugnant party.

[SCVDem]

17. If tRump wants to be Russian

Let them be the Romanovs!

[Hekate]

20. They've been fighting for us for 2 years, & hardest of all since we got control of the House...

They have not been silent, not for a single day.

While certain people here have never ceased to whine that our warrior Dems are not doing or saying anything -- these 4 and others have battled every damn day.

[pazzyanne]

22. Kick...

[BlancheSplanchnik]

24. The reason it seems like Dems aren't fighting against this and everything else

Is the media the conservatives manipulate and own. It’s why it’s so hard to get any complex facts and correlations across to dumpsters. The media makes it impossible for the side of reality to get a word in edgewise.

[Hekate]

27. Sadly, I expect DUers to keep better track of the news, and this is all in all a good place to do so

Unfortunately, there is a very very vocal minority here who have their minds made up that:

1) no media at all is reporting the facts
2) no elected Democrats are speaking out
3) no elected Dems are doing anything of value
4) in a Congress that runs on majority/minority and seniority rules for committee apointments and chairmanships, we should just throw out all of our Dems and start over

Periodically they take a short break. Then they start all over again. This is one of those times.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

28. Thanks for pointing that out.

The media is poisonous enough—I avoid it. I get my info here, for the most part. I don’t need unrealistic hysteria here!

[Cha]

32. Mahalo, Hekate!

[cwydro]

29. And not one of them is giving up.

Haven’t heard any despair from any of them...

[Amaryllis]

31. Nadler. Schumer.
