If they find evidence of his involvement in other crimes, like conspiracy to commit insurrection, can they prosecute that?
Yep..nice right
Yessiree!!
Yes
@Katie Hettinger yes it is very important to get the ball rolling for our national recovery and health. That will get Americans to focus on what type of government is best, left or right wing..so in the next election the voters can better understand and vote for progress and not stagnation, ingenuity and not trickle down. Starting with Reagan the idea that if we promote and take care of the rich they will take care of us.. is a proven failure over all these years, the Rich have simply gotten richer and more powerful and their greed does not allow for “trickle down”it is true that the rich serve a function in our capitalism, but we cannot fool ourselves by giving them so much power in our government. They are only human and the power of greed can be overwhelming.
If us Reg ppl tried it bet we’d be punished.
Next, Bill Barr will be investigated. SHOULD be investigated. Every single Trump psychophant needs to be excised from our government.
Sycophant.
@Burma Jones but they are psychotic as well, I think that’s the angle he was going for anyway.
@Burma Jones I like psychophant. (Probably intentional.)
@Burma Jones No spelling or grammar check required obviously it’s spelled that way intentionally . . . Please take a minute and think about context and what the writer is saying.
I’m getting the image of a silhouette of a man beneath a streetlight.
Lock them all up! Finally some justice! Now we need to STOP him from running for President again!!!!!!!
So true.
Yes, let’s imprison our political opposition. That’ll show them fascists.
Hopefully Trump will start feeling the heat from federal agents.
This isn’t about Trump 2024. The 2020 census has added to the gqp.
We need to focus on Senatorial and Congressional races.
More FDR
Less REAGAN
America is back
Would love to see Barr indicted for obstruction of justice.
Same thought went through my whiskey soaked brain.
Multiple times.
“Obstruction of Justice” has nothing to do with the criminal offense being investigated, it applies to denying access to evidence.
US Supreme Court:
Nixon had to turn over the Tapes.
Clinton had to testify.
Barr is no longer Attorney General and Trump isn’t President anymore so he can’t even TRY to claim that excuse.
Me too.
@Lawrence Jeffrey can’t be too soaked, cause you are thinking pretty good! Take care.
SDNY Will absolutely get to the bottom & Barr, Trump, Giuliani & Company are going to Prison or wish they were! If anyone followed the Ukraine Story & Trump Campaign & his Lawyer knows this was Criminal Enterprise with Foreign Interference of Biden Election & America Democracy.
All the gangsters who went to prison because of Giuliani are probably making a Federal prison spread tonight.
@Luke_SkyWanker Look to the factual time line of his personal actions since he started riding the trump train.
His being investigated for his involvement in Ukraine, meeting with russian operatives and russian officials to get dirt on Joe Biden.
His regurgitating russian misinformation during the election and after.
He just got raided by the DOJ. Barr squashed that search warrant that started during trump’s administration.
It’s all going to come out under Biden’s administration.
Stay safe. ☮️
They were rivals….
@Your Mom Quickly now, send him all your money.
@Your Mom it’s gonna derail 😂
@Maria Cox I’ll be waiting to see that with my popcorn 😂😂😂
Not “for some reason.” This investigation was held up under Barr for a very specific reason.
Yes, obviously. But Rosenberg has to be very careful what he says and when/how he says it. It doesn’t actually have to be spelled out at this point.
Collusion…
Very specific
Amen. Evil protecting Evil!
Las time trumps lawyer got raided, they brought charges. Let’s hope this is the same.
Isn’t that one of the guys Trump pardoned?
no… Michael Cohen didn’t get a pardon because he turned on Trump
@studivanCray Rudi Giuliani is one of trump’ lying attack poodles.
What’s done in the dark will always come to the light. Giuliani is feeling the heat. 💩😵
🍿😀Waiting patiently with popcorn and laughter.
🍔🍟🍕trump let out the criminals in suits…its looking like trump brought more swamp with him those taxes🤔 all those houses? Trump and his man in suits has been running under the radar for a long time and never been caught pass the pop corn please.😊
@fox fire1 you will be cordially invited when the party is scheduled.
🍿😄🇺🇸.
I love that quote and it is TRUE!
And some cold beer😂😂😂😎
Hopefully, enough charges will be brought that Rudy will be forced to pull a “Greenberg”. 🍿
Or an Epstein.
@Kar Walker He was earning $20,000 a day advising the president of the US on complex matters just a few weeks ago. Would the most powerful person on earth pay an incompetent nutbag 20 grand a day for advice? 🤣 Not bloody likely (Cockney accent). Unless he can show evidence of some recent blunt force trauma, that won’t fly. Maybe that Kraken lady squeezed his head with one of her tentacles?
Or a redshield
@Charles Smith Rudy should definitely beef up his security and sleep with one eye open. He knows the type of people he’s surrounded himself with and what they’re capable of.
@David Galehouse Gaetz is probably hoping that his prison term is like his girlfriends… Less than 18 years…
Well, well well, the sparrows, pigeons, chickens, turkeys, penguins, emus, and ostriches are coming home to roost!
@Colin Robinson trump hated all over the world, so glad to hear!!! 81 million usa peeps saw trump as the failure he actually is!!! Hooo rah!
They all stink
@Prophecy & Revelations The birds or the politicians?
@OS Muzik All of them…nothing against the chickens tho…had one for dinner tonight…was pretty tasty😋
@Prophecy & Revelations Ha! Ha! Ha! Try ostrich, a very healthy alternative!
It’s time for accountability and justice to be served! Get the entire criminal enterprise!!
T – Trump &
R – Rudy
E – Exchanged
A – Absurd
S – Schemes
O – On the
N – Net

P R I S O N
VERY WELL SAID, BRAVO 😎😎😎😎
🤔 barr warned them to leave things alone. This is what they get for not listening 🤣🤣🤣.
Barr new he too would be implicated
Barr is up sh*t creek without a paddle, the SDNY is investigating Epstein too–including his untimely death.
After seeing what was attempted the last couple years by Trump and co. And nothing done about it. This has the makings of a real satisfying resolution. I pray we get one
The American people solved the Trump problem by voting him out.
@J G that wasn’t really a solution. It needs to go all the way, convict him and his family so they are wiped off the political scene forever.
Thank you to the 81 million voters who made this possible! Justice is coming.
@James Erb Off your meds again?
@Richard Moorhead Is a no content troll site!
Yes, thank you.
They can’t hear you. Half of them are dead or don’t exist
Clinton and Hunter can now be arrested.
THANK YOU TRUE PATRIOTS‼️ Don’t give up.
Hopefully, Bill Barr will be revealed. That man has hidden a lot of crimes.
@Jim McLoughlin this may be a way Trump could go to jail ? Flip rudy ?
I want to see him and Trump exposed for facilitating Epstein’s death more than anything. The Ukraine and Russia criminal conspiracies too of course, but the Epstein matter is close to my heart. I want to see everyone involved with him go down, especially those who allowed him to escape justice.
@Hopsta I’m looking forward to how Q will spin this when it’s proven that Hillary had nothing to do with the Epstein assassination.
Here’s some answers for you….
“Russia should use its special
forces within the borders of the United States to fuel instability and separatism, for instance, provoke “Afro-American racists”. Russia should “introduce geopolitical disorder into internal American activity, encouraging all kinds of separatism and ethnic, social and racial conflicts, actively supporting all dissident movements – extremist, racist, and sectarian groups,
thus destabilizing internal political processes in the U.S. It would also make
sense simultaneously to support isolationist tendencies in American politics.”
“The United Kingdom should be cut
off from Europe.”
From Aleksandr Dugin’s 1997 book ‘Foundations of Geopolitics’, a book that has had a large influence within the Russian military, police, and foreign policy elites and was allegedly used as a textbook in the General Staff Academy of the Russian military.
Who is Aleksandr Dugin?
A Russian Orthodox Christian with
no official government title, but highly influential, Dugin is the guy who travelled to Turkey and succeeded in restoring relations after Turkey’s downing of a Russian military jet on the Syrian border. He did the job so well that Turkey
is now closer to Russia than it is to the rest of NATO.
In common with other Russian Orthodox Christians, the Muslims of Chechnya, the Muslims of Iran, and right-wing Christian groups in the US, he hates feminists, gays, “godlessness” and western liberalism in general.
Usually there is a history of obsessive compulsive behaviour ie gambling, etc.
The corruption goes a long way these people should be locked up they have no shame and that Bill Barr should be prosecuted.
@James Erb Not all of us can get that grammar nazi degree. Public education system really is the pits
@hpqz hpqz I sure hope AG Garland gets a free hand to do that. This was a long overdue clean up before Trump and the US can’t move forward with any kind of claim of “equal justice under the law” if they don’t do a good house cleaning after all of Trump’s “plants” in the various areas of our government.
There is a long cue
@Luke_SkyWanker : I agree. Loooong overdue, and i admit to being more hopeful than certain that we will see what is required.
@hpqz hpqz I hope you are right. I am glad that Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas fired almost every member of Homeland Security Advisory Council (about 30) – some members had been installed under Trump some also were Democrats. I believe that is the sacrifice you have to make to get rid of the Trump swamp nest & what lurks inside. I am looking for more of them being fired especially in the private IRS, Justice Department, Defense Department, etc. So far Trump & his children are still in the USA with Gaetz, etc. even though there are about 29 law suits & more coming on Trump which tells me the Trump swamp nest of people in the Federal Government who do the investigating, etc. is very large that serve them in the courts, etc. (but its not their lawyers but their own private investigators like his AG) or else they would be all out of the USA right now or else in jail. What ever happened to “Billions Spent on U.S. Defenses Failed to Detect Giant Russian Hack” or obstruction of justice by Trump through the Mueller Report (“Conspiracy to Defraud the United States (18 U.S.C. §371) a/k/a “Collusion” by the Mueller report”) City & State of New York Taxes, etc. right here in Democratic Heaven which was the playground for Taxes, etc. of Trump & the entire family including the Father. For sure they have a lot of connections there & they still can’t come up with anything on Trump & his children. Trump & his children also supported the Democratic Party.
Somewhere Matt Gaetz is saying finally someone else to report on besides me. Oh Matt you’re still gonna get popped by the feds when your boy turns on you 💯 and keeps cooperating with the feds
Barr needs to be disbarred for undermining the confidence in the court
