Dems say attorney general undermined credibility with Trump talking point

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Democrats on Thursday accused Attorney General William Barr of playing into President Trump’s attacks on the FBI after he testified the day before that he is reviewing whether U.S. officials were improperly “spying” on the 2016 campaign.

They warned that Barr is undermining his credibility by using language that echoes Trump and his allies.

“When someone is given real information that Russia interfered with our elections, of course they’re supposed to look into it, that’s part of their job,” Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) said from the Senate floor on Thursday.

“For Mr. Barr to label this as spying, echoing some of the worst conspiracy theorists in the country, he loses all credibility and that credibility is vital,” Schumer said. “Because he’ll be issuing a report with redactions.”

1. Barr is learning from tRump that credibility means nothing anymore...

Truth has no value. Politicians can say whatever they want. There are truly alternative facts. I know people don't want to, but read Faux Noise. It's two different worlds we're living in. You'd swear you're going crazy. They have done it. Welcome to Oceania...

2. Good.

'that’s part of their job,”
'he loses all credibility.'

THOUGHT SO.

3. What credibility? Barr never had any.

4. Exactly. He surely lost it when he submitted that bullshit memo to Trump to get his job.

Plus, even before that, he was a scumbag by engineering the Bush Iran-Contra pardons. https://www.npr.org/2019/01/14/684553791/william-barr-supported-pardons-in-an-earlier-d-c-witch-hunt-iran-contra

Barr has no and never had any credibility.

5. After the Iran Contra Pardons, It's Difficult to See Why Barr Ever Had Any Credibillity

When someone shows you who they really are...

6. Barr is to Trump as John Mitchell is to Nixon

Barr might not go to jail like Mitchell, but he will end up just as disgraced.
