    Failure to address the OP topic duly noted and thereby ignored for obvious reasons.

    All I see is you believing in what is obviously a fiction.

    "Obviously" not "ignored" at all. :roll: I see where the poster addressed the topic. Contrasting Nixon's cover up of crimes actually committed -vs- Barr's non cover up of any crimes at all. Bob Mueller fired the FBI's 2 lead counter-intel investigators. Both Mueller and McCabe concealed both the misconduct, and the evidence thereof from congress. Technically, Mueller obstructed the FBI investigation by firing the FBI's counter-intel agents. It is your position that IG Horowitz found Strzok and Page had no bias, and their professional conduct wasn't impacted right? So Mueller fired both without cause, and McCabe's demotion essentially halted the FBI probe.

    I share the opinions of those who say that there is no point to having Barr return - he's shown himself to be who and what he is, and won't be any more forthcoming. At this point, he is a waste of time.

    I disagree!

    The nation needs to hear it from Barr's own mouth as to why he chose to LIE to We the People about the actual findings in the Mueller report. He only has the right to invoke the 5th Amendment but not to defy Congress.

    Why not? When you ignore everything you don't like and post a pile of bovine excrement, you have a self- granted right to ignore the lack of respect for your work. Makes you feel better than actually considering reality.....

    Barr is a team player for the government, all the way. He demonstrated that during Iran-Contra.

    Yesterday's performance was to be expected.

    Been doing a bit more reading into his background and I tend to agree that he is not a stalwart upholder of the Law of the Land. Rather he leans towards putting party partisan interests ahead of what is best for the nation and the Law of the Land.

    No wonder the GOP Senate approved him.

    I understand your desire to see that, but I don't believe he would do that. He shouldn't be permitted to defy congress - nor should Trump or the WH. But I don't think anyone will get any satisfaction from Barr.

    Barr can take a page out of St Reagan's book of lies and just claim that he can't remember.

    However to allow the AG to defy Congress would set a seriously bad precedent IMO.

    What's Rod Rosenstein's background? Mueller and Rod's resumes overlap ... Uranium 1. Here's what Rod had to say about Barr. https://thehill.com/homenews/media/439291-rosenstein-on-barr-in-time-100-the-rule-of-law-is-secure

    Someone on Fox put out an interesting theory.

    He said that this idiocy is all designed to create a smokescreen of discredit upon the Justice Department and the forthcoming reports from I.G. Horowitz and U.S. Attorney Huber.

    I continue to believe that no one will be held to account, but maybe I'm wrong. Maybe they really are afraid; and maybe they have reason to be.

    Like Holder did? Barr already testified and the house dem clown show wants to whine and throw a fit.

    TC, we are seeing a standard operating procedure from the left and democrats these days, which declares that anything that doesn't denigrate Trump is fraudulent, and anyone who doesn't support trump-hate is a crook. This is not only universal, it is over-riding morality, integrity, common sense, love of country and anything else that is in the way of the overwhelming need to fan the hate.

    I have to ask myself, what frame of mind would I have to have to allow myself to even consider that? I am unable to think of any scenario that would make that remotely possible, except insanity or reversion to mental infancy.

    However, this is where they are; it's no longer surprising- it's what we expect of them. It's a black cloud over the nation.

    Defy Democrats throwing a 28 month temper tantrum over losing election even after they colluded with the KGB to create a slander dossier, spied on and attempted to infiltrate the opposing campaign? That's called patriotism.

    That has happened with frequency. there will be negotiations, assuming, of course, that The house Dems really want to hear from him anyway which I doubt as they are far too much in love with their false narrative to let something so simple as the actual truth intervene.

    My thoughts:

    You will not accept the Mueller report and you intentionally misconstrue facts to fit a warped notion that Barr/Trump and others you don't like are all criminals. You also intentionally cover up real crimes so that you can run down a rabbit hole looking for unicorns and other things that do not exist. There is a level of corruption that far exceeds Watergate, that we agree on, but it is on the Obama side of the fence and has a lot to do with who was running the gov't during the 2016 election and during the transition. Obama set out on a path to destroy the Trump Administration and to cover up the deeds that they did while in office. The evidence is overwhelming and getting more air time as Barr moves forward. That IG report will start the ball rolling in a direction that will really have yo howling in despair.

    I don't read much of what you post because it rarely makes intelligent or thought provoking sense and it is filled with attacks and silly capitalization of words when they don't need to be. It's on a 3rd grade level and frankly, it's almost outright trolling and not sure why it is even allowed. But I gave my thoughts here hopefully for others to read and respond to. If you want serious discussion and not just a platform to throw out insults and false information, I would suggest trying to write posts and responses that are a bit more mature.

    Your disingenuous trolling flame bait was given all of the consideration that it was due.

    Have a nice day!
