    Well, I would have no problem with him after having him impeached.

    What does it say about the rule of law in America to have an AG who perjures himself before congress as the DEFENSE attorney for partisan political purpose?

    Why should Americans have faith in the rule of law when the party in power uses that power for political advancement in our courts?

    Sounds like a typical Liberal position as all the Liberals will say what you’re saying. So it is summarily dismissed.

    Conservatives would agree with me as well.

    Respect for the rule of law and for our system of government is not limited to liberals.

    Respect for the rule of law is a Conservative prerogative, Libs have nothing to do with it.

    Sorry my friend, landing in Vegas and on to a diner at Giada’s and see the O. Chiao

    Totally agree. And what does it matter in the scheme of things.

    Sick of the Muller report. It is useful regarding Russia's attempt to divide our country and, disrupt or Government.

    The Democrats need to start working on necessary Legislation. They have done nothing positive since they took the House.

    Expecting the crybabies to actually function as a legislature is like that baseball comedy movie where the Anaheim Angels sucked like crap but something happened(I forgot what) that led them to a bunch of wins.

    Basically, a freaking miracle.

    The House has passed a number of bills holding Russia responsible for election interference and taking steps to protect our election process.

    The Senate has introduced such bills, too.

    Most if not all of these bills have not made it into law because of blocks in the Senate related to disagreement with the Executive Branch.

    Beyond that, Trump has blocked sanctions against Russia and has gone so far as stating that Russia did not interfere in our election BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT PUTIN TOLD HIM!!!!

    That coming after US intel groups all said that Russian absolutely DID interfere as well as the Mueller report.

    Trump is failing his oath of office by not protecting our democracy from foreign attack.

    Mueller is an idiot. If he had something on PODS trump he should have written it in the first paragraph and then repeated it on every page.

    The old buzzard Pelosi is a national disgrace. She is in it only for the money that she can skim. She is one of the most corrupt people in Washington, and that is saying a lot.

    And that's a Democrat(Wyrd) saying that! This House is the definition of epic fail. It seems the only thing diversity granted Congress is guaranteed failure on epic proportions. Which proves my point: Ability, not color and social status. Social Darwinism: 1, Political Correctness: 0. The best man/woman for the job not the most popular.

    Prissy Trump (R) bum kissers are in a tizzy over Barr (R)'s sugar-coated confection being discredited by the actual report of the Trump (R) Justice Department Special Counsel (R).

    Why, otherwise, would their unstable, self-obsessed, hysterical lowlife (R) suddenly go from "TOTAL VINDICATION!" at Billy (aka Roseanne) Barr [R)'s frothy paean to "It's BS!" as the actual report of nearly two years of the patriotic mission "to oversee the previously-confirmed FBI investigation of Russian government efforts to influence the 2016 presidential election and related matters," emerged?

    Meanwhile, Rudeboy "Il Magnifico Naso Marrone" Giuliani (R) was deftly swatted away by conservative legal scholar George Conway (R):

    Screen Shot 2019-05-05 at 9.25.12 AM.png

    Conway (R) piled on the arguments against Giuliani (R) by tweeting that there is a section in the Department of Justice manual that “nicely captures what obstruction of justice is about.”​

    “It’s got nothing to do with whether there’s an underlying offense,” George Conway (R) wrote. “It’s all about whether someone is trying to wrongly influence a participant in federal proceeding … or to retaliate for someone’s past participation in a federal proceeding.”

    He included an image of the passage in the criminal code and said the manual has an entire section stating that obstruction does not need to be successful to be considered obstruction.

    “There doesn’t have to be an underlying offense; the proceeding can be about trying to figure out whether there was an underlying offense. This isn’t hard,” George Conway (R) tweeted. “So stop it with the garbage, Rudy (R).”

    Let's remember that all previous Secretaries of State used systems that were known not to be secure.

    Plus, this administration is doing so as well. In fact, Trump himself is not even CLOSE to being secure and promotes giving security clearances to a good number of individuals which our FBI says should be denied clearance.

    If your big issue is going after Hillary (as opposed to Condi Rice, and the rest), fine.

    If you're interested in security, how about we agree to take steps today to rectify the many practices that have been gradually growing.

    I am interested in the rule of law. Hillary got caught. Hillary skated. The rule of law was not operative. If you are not interested in that, then fine, don't boast about the rule of law.

    Hillary is NOT an excuse for deciding to give up on the rule of law.

    Neither is Condi Rice. Neither is Reagan, who skated on Iran-Contra. Neither is Bill Clinton.

    Tell you what, let's compromise. We will reinstate the rule of law starting with Buttigieg.

    Yes, the president has the power to be FAR less secure than Hillary or any other secretary of state has been.

    But, you can't suggest it's ok to block congressional oversight in those cases and then suggest you give a hot damn about security.

    The dem clown show isn't about oversight, it's about doing everything other than oversight for optics.

    I obviously don't know George Conway, and for the life of me I cannot understand his choice of life partner, but he seems to be pretty tuned in to what's going on here..... you ever wonder if KellyAnne ever lets anything leak during intimate moments??

    And the phrases "Rudy Giuliani" and "fact checked" are from this day forward to be forever linked... The last thing Rudy is ever going to read is a DOJ manual...

    Kelly Anne "Bowling Green Massacre" Conway actually composes all of George's tweets regarding "Deranged Don".

    [​IMG]

    It is very therapeutic for her after a stressful day at the orifice.
