As Garland Arrives At DOJ, Capitol Rioter Cases Take Shape, Whistleblowers Ding Trump
With any luck , Clark will go to prison with Trump and his co-conspirators also !
Finally class integrity and honor.
You won’t find class, integrity or honor in the democrat party. They are all corrupt pedophiles.
@KentBalzer COPE LOL
@KentBalzer Thank you comrad for your in depth statement. Loser.
@viewome I hope you are planning on taking Bill Gates’ vaccine. Loser.
Thank goodness they finally gave him a job he so rightly deserves.
Finally a real Attorney General working for the people and not the president, or for personal interest.
@a bc another Blue Anon that hates America.
@a bc YOUZ A FOOL !!!!
@a bc ANTIFA ARE TERRORISTS FOOL!!! SEE PORTLAND RIOTS EVERY NIGHT!!!!
@Brian Peters Amen to that!!!!
@V for Wombat Ha ha ha ha ha🤣😄😂😁🤣😃🤣😂🤣😃 good one!!!!!
To all the attorneys who resigned in protest against
William Barr last year,
HERE’S YOUR CHANCE !
You now have the opportunity to right all wrongs under
Trump and Barr
@Alex Hamilton you wouldn’t comprehend the answer. Do some research.
@Brandy Courvoisier They’ve moved on to much more lucrative jobs, to the detriment of the country.
Your Use of one of our greatest founding name is a disgrace!!!
@Music G go ahead and tell me . Just spin your answer as far left as you want and I will comprehend it as crap 😀
@Alex Hamilton google is a good tool
We haven’t had a real AG for years.
Nor under the Obama/Biden Administration alot of acting positions
@Iris Hewlett “Acting positions” because Senate Republicans *refused* to confirm Obama’s nominees.
You mean for 4 yrs right ?
@Catrasho a little over.
The Keebler Elf Sessions who answered almost every question with “I do not recall” should have disqualified him from being an AG because his memory was clearly compromised.
So, yes, it’s been at least four years. 👌🏽
we need a bobby Kennedy type as AG
The next words I want to hear from Garland are: subpoenas, grand juries, and indictments.
@D j mahaney I’m afraid you’re gonna have to prove I’m a racist, Sparky
@Democratshate America That must be why the FBI recently shared a 2 year covered up report (thanks to trump) that the biggest security threat to our country is white supremacists.
@Democratshate America Yes b/c now that we know trump faked the FBI report into Kavanaugh’s background Whitehouse has requested the FBI do that investigation again. 🙂
Cheers!
@Sojourner Girls First at Covid lies and deaths.”You just breathe the air and that’s how it’s passed,” Trump said in a Feb. 7 call to Bob Woodward. “And so that’s a very tricky one. That’s a very delicate one. It’s also more deadly than even your strenuous flus.” “This is deadly stuff.” the president repeated for emphasis.During a press conference he then told the public he hoped churches would be full by easter. T**** lied & people died.
Hate to burst your bubble, but that will NEVER happen.
Get them traitors and put em away like the Benidict Arnold’s they are.
@Creative Native dude you are 100 percent correct. 👍🏻
Great comment, get all those traitors!!!!
@SMS I suggest you use your mental abilities to focus on getting facts straight instead of slanting things to the left LOL
@SlayerofFiction how many convictions? None of them had to do with Trump it seems like. LOL
@Alex Hamilton Where are you getting that from? I’m a Democrat so why would I be slanting things to the left?
I’m certain we’re going to hear a lot of “this is politically motivated” every time a Republican is under scrutiny for their corrupt deeds.
Oh ya for sure, those criminals and traitors will be saying that and a lot of other nonsense.
It will be their battle cry.
I am so far beyond caring what rightwingers have to say about anything. America has chosen truth over their lies. Full stop.
aka, I know I committed crimes and there’s evidence but I don’t want to be prosecuted.
We have a lot of Democrats under scrutiny now. There is a revolt against Cuomo in New York State. The governor of California is close to being recalled. The Michigan governor is under investigation. Look at the cries of systemic racism coming from our most progressive cities that has been under democratic control for years. So far, we’re not doing the best job in the world. This is why I believe we have to clean up our party and remove the corrupt and entrenched political class.
Some might say a ‘new’ Attorney General, many would say an actual Attorney General.
@Alex Hamilton troll it
@Alex Hamilton Get Q flag and popcorn, the fun is about to start.
@Alex Hamilton The entire trump administration was a dumpster fire of unqualified hacks, cronies, and Religious nuts.
@Alex Hamilton sure, alex jones wannabe troll.
@dublinjazz1 correct
Garland has a lot of cleaning house to do immediately.
@Big Smoke Guitar of course your referring to Benedict Arnold Bonespurs !
@R L T “Biden is a laughing stock with our allies.”
the entire UN laughed in trump’s face.
Biden is a step up.
Hurray! The DOJ won’t be corrupt anymore.
Investigate Bill/Ba/rr
@No Name There are so many possible crimes during the trump mess. The undermining of the CDC and trump’s pandemic lies could be negligent homicide on a giant level. The insurrection 1-6, could be incitement, obstruction of congress, the Georgian attempt at vote fraud, the firing of the FBI director in aid of crime, 10 obstruction of justice charges from the Mueller Report, dangling of pardons & witness tampering, etc, etc.
Is he also going to investigate the members of Congress involved in the insurrection?
@funches897 my conscience is as clear as my criminal record, I’m not some dumb rioter or even worse a trumpanzee jumping around the capital
@Ẉ̵̌í̶͕K̶̬͑e̸͓̔r̵̈́ͅ Great to hear that!
@funches897 and arrested
I’m sure he will.
@Forged Hard thAt is for local folks. Last time in oregon some folks took over government land they did republican thing. Not guilty.
It’s pretty bad that one needs to become a President of The United States to destroy the DOJ to avoid criminal prosecution. God
Bless everyone that protected our Constitution.
Interesting point Leslie. We should remember that Orange POS’s lengthy background of criminality … his daddy Fred schooled him in under reporting assets and overstating expenses AND evading tax exposure.
TR45H gutted so many federal agencies ….it will take years to clean up this mess. His people also burrowed into lower positions.
What’s really bad is he was able to. Time to give those “protection measures” a tune up.
Biden and his staff are doing a wonderful job and I will never ever vote Republican again
Trapped under the red hat. Nope. Liberated from that hate fear scare the church lady party. Conservative values …..what a joke.
Biden is horrible and a walking cadaver. Other countries don’t even want to deal with him. Biden cheated and the entire world knows that
@Kirill S. You were no Republican ever! Just a lying democrat
@Nicolette Marinelliso not true . It’s just very hard to find truly republicans. Almost all of them looks like talking heads and nothing more. General line most of them – do not let dems help Americans for just be elected. And of course all of them, including half of dems, happy to take money from big corps.
Thank God for Merrick Garland and yes,Biden is knocking it out of the park,left and right!
Traitors, all. Garland will get ‘em!
cheri atkinson
yes. being a Democrat he knows who the guilty are in his own party.
@Alex Hamilton keep trying
For most Republicans the idea of _equal justice for all_ is a nightmare.
@Tracy Rowe What right wing insurrectionists? Are you talking about the people that charged the capital? I think they were stupid and achieved nothing.
Those people that are trying to burn down buildings with people in them I think should be shot.
@Brian Baff just because they failed their objective doesn’t mean they weren’t insurrectionists. They don’t get a pass because they’re morons
Give me proof of anyone trying to burn down an occupied building
@Tracy Rowe its not hard to search for Portland courthouse antifa. Videos are there.
There was also a case where they tried to cement an exit to a police station and light it on fire.
If yiu come up with nothing let me know will post links in the morning
Ah screw it

@Brian Baff that is what some news outlets wanted you to believe. They just put the tapes on rewind to make you believe it was still going on. Just call your family and friends in those cities and you will find the truth.
@Leslie C yAre you are trying to say there were no new riots in Portland in last couple weeks and its some media lie?
I confess I was wrong — I thought the Senate would never confirm him, despite his excellent qualifications. I’m very pleased.
Probably because they knew Barr was SO corrupt, that any marginally a-political AG would uncover and expose just how shockingly bad he really was. So, they figured, they might as well just Garland through.
There were 30 Republican Senators that voted against Garland…very good place to start taking out the garbage!
@B Jack I just scrolled through them. So predictable.
A real DOJ the job is for Merrick Garland, A true Hero.
A honest Attorney General? How refreshing. Can Barr get prosecuted for his actions?
@Bianca Culpo I was anxiously awaiting your reply about what ‘we know’ and I have not yet received one. I hope all is well with you. Happy St. Patrick’s Day.
@T. R. Campbell he mightve
Yes, yes he can😁😊😀😃🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Exactly what actions are you referring to?
@TMC CLIFFORD Anyone can be prosecuted for any reason. I recall what Joseph Stalin said, ‘show me the man and I will show you the crime.’ Anyone can be prosecuted but under our system of law now if there was no crime there could be no guilty verdict.
Well, Trumps battle cry of “drain the swamp” is finally coming to fruition.
@Cowboy Bob, life is frustrating and difficult for you, having a double digit IQ.
@Justin Bradburn My last reply provoked two responses, does it still sting?
@Cowboy Bob, life must be really hard for you demoKKKrats, with your double digit IQ.
@Justin Bradburn Yawn
@Cowboy Bob 👈🏻 model of depravity.
