    1. @Oslo Vega That’s a real person, Pirro, is idk, watched her once, all I heard was yelling and screaming disinformation, heard about her leave for some kind of inappropriate comments, like I would rather believe the facts from court related case as with his history of being dishonest, how not to be dishonest must be getting harder as more come together to tell their side of the story.It’s who he is, just saying as it is with believing the good, the right side of the law, the rule of law, the constitution and that no one is above the law.

    2. He’s good at finding other corrupt people and then surrounding himself with them. The best of them. If they’re on the fence he’ll help them over but then claim ignorance. Remember…”Loyalty”, people with integrity? Not so much. People with a moral compass? Absofrigginlutely NOT.

    1. @Bigg Roman Yea we will be just like the dems have for the last 3 miserable years. You have no idea what non partisian is being a ANTI-AMERICAN racist Democrat. GTFOH waste of life.

    1. @Grace Munich Poor Gracie. You are so brainwashed by fake news you have no clue what is actually happening. You probably have no idea who John Durham is. But you will find out soon enough when the indictments start flying around on your deep state criminals behind all this crap. Oh yes. You will be shocked soon enough. Meanwhile keep watching fake news and keep the faith. LMFAO.

    2. @Jeffrey Meade nobody cares if he ALSO investigates fisa warrants and possibly corrupt dems. He should do his job and not ignore this.

    3. Jeffrey Meade This conspiracy will go the way of all the others. All the “real” issues that the right-wing love to tout about their imaginary deep state and non existent crimes, that really happened if you go to the right websites. Its hilarious seeing the tin foil hat brigade, spouting how everyone else is brainwashed, because they have the real knowledge. Its getting boring now.

    1. @Bigg Roman correct. despite the cherry picking video, yes. “we” the US does it all the time (every administration has). “we” the US has preconditions on our funding. Yes, the president wanted the Ukraine to abide by our treaty to assist with corruption investigations. yes, the president and the doj announced, in advance, that it would seek the help of foreign governments into the investigation of foreign governmental interference in our 2016 elections. No, I do not understand why our president would attempt to disavow malvaney’s admission of that fact other than “optics.” Maybe he wants the impeachment to go forward? I hope it does. Did the president break any law? certainly not. investigating corruption is his purview entirely. do i know malvaney was correct in asserting that is what the president was doing? no. maybe he “presumed” it too? i have no clue but I do know it was no crime and if it did happen that way it is NOT unusual.

    2. Impoundment act of 1973
      Freedom of information Act
      Abuse of power
      Obstruction of justice
      Literally intimidating a witness as they testified
      Article 1 section 9 clause 8
      Article 2 section 3 clause 5
      Yes he did this and that’s not even counting a quid pro quo which yes, he cant do. Abuse of power.

    3. @Bigg Roman Oh please, take your excuses for losing on a daily basis and stick it. Deflecting to anything when you’re proven wrong. Typical Democrat, blame your opponent for everything you are actually guilty of.

    1. @CeNTuRiOn33100 Oh yeah! Forgot about that. That’s what Roger Stone got convicted for among other things. So many things these days are immoral and wrong but don’t actually break laws.

    1. Ian Trimbath, the DOJ is head of law for America, he’s not there to obstruct and cover crimes commited by the president. Its why its the Department of Justice and not Trumps personal fixer. Call it corrupt, call it criminal, call it anti constitutional, it all amounts to the same thing.

    1. olobar5 explain why cause that’s the truth.and was already clear when he after 48 hours an answer gave on the Mueller report.
      Years of investigation and he has an answer that quick. So tell me MrBot yourself what is wrong with that picture?

  1. Need to impeach Trump, Barr, Pence, and a slew of others, let Mother Pelosi take over to assure fair elections in 2020 — for everyone!

    1. You’re real bright. Not. Stupidest statement ever. You’re not brainwashed much either. 🤣🤣😂😂🤣

  2. Is there anyone left in this administration that is NOT a corrupt partisan piece of swamp sludge?
    (I think we all know the answer to this one.)

    1. @Ian Trimbath For me, people with whom I disagree are just people with whom I disagree (my brother and I are politically opposite) and people who I call corrupt have convinced me of that in some way

  3. Because it’s Barr’s DOJ. They investigate who and what he tells them to investigate.

    1. Schiff: “That’s me, too, cause I get to do it and you can’t stop me – nananana.”
      The Public: “You’re undefeated when it comes to losing.”

    1. “But I guess that’s the way it is. When you lose something irreplaceable, you don’t mourn for the thing you lost. you mourn for yourself.”
      Harpo Marx 😉

      That will be the trump/gop followers if we don’t get rid of this mess.
      To trumpanzzees, BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR.

    2. Remember he accused Dems of a coup? We are watching a big reality oceans 11. He has something on a bunch of those senators, especially McConnell and Graham.
      I wish the media would start talking about the large stack of passed bills that are being ignored by the Senate.

    3. @Josie Sullivan Agreed! I would be great right now for the media to put some major focus on many of the most important bills, passed, that would have HELPED people!
      It would be good to show people that it’s not the Dems not doing their jobs, but the Repug/GOP Senate that is BLOCK the bills.
      Blocking is the name of the game for the GOP now.
      Block bills. Block witnesses. Block documents.
      The gop is just a block of SCUM!

    1. olobar5 Barr is Trump’s keep out of jail card. He is refusing to to do his job and should be impeached and removed. So should all the Republicans who knew this was why he was picked.

    1. @Lana Kahl yeah, that’s the part that bugs me.
      There was great suspicion about who/what he really was and yet, enough dems, who I suspect were sucking up, voted him through.

      BIGLY MISTAKE!

  4. Barr should be disbarred and unseated since he refuses to do his job in non-partisan ways. He is protecting traitor trump not our nation; therefore he is a traitor also!😡🇺🇸🌊
