Georgetown Professor: ‘The Justice Department Should Be Called Barr & Trump LLP’ | Deadline | MSNBC
Bill Barr is not your average AG. He’s a mob lawyer.
@Diana Hulstine Oh ok. My own country’s intelligence organisation told the US before that happened that America’s protege, Mr. Hussein had no womd, and was regularly monitored and inspected by international agencies. But Cheyney, Wolfowitz and the rest created alternative propaganda and just wouldn’t listen. They knew America had earlier provided him with chemical and biological weapons, among others, and assumed he still had them. We -and others – knew it was no longer so.
@Diane O’Donovan blah blah yawn
@Dawn Santi Biden has never, not once in all his years in elected office, called for the reunification of the supercontinent.
Not once.
What is he hiding…….
😅
Bill Bar took the loyalty oath to Donald J Trump. This is what you get. Trump justice from the Manhattan .
@Mark Campbell You mean literally? I’d have thought that having taken an oath to the constitution and the people would make any oath of personal loyalty, by an elected official, to any other person an obvious conflict of interest, even if not treason. A president may represent the American people, but he doesn’t become their embodiment. Sometimes, though, when I hear Trump say “we” I get the feeling that he does mean it like the royal ‘we’.. that is, himself only.
Today the Republican Party is a criminal political cult obssessed with power and greed, and to achieve their two priorities, they will do anything, and I mean ANYTHING.
Since 2016, we have witnessed a test of the depths to which the Republican Party will sink. How much corruption, how much collusion with foreign powers and betrayal of the national interest will that party’s elected representatives stand for? Well the results of that test are abundantly clear, shocking, and horrifying: There is no bottom.
The GOP is now a thoroughly corrupt party. Trump is a symptom, not the disease, and our democracy will remain under threat even if and when he’s gone.
The corruption we see in the Republican party today can be defined as institutional depravity. It isn’t an occasional failure to uphold norms, but a consistent repudiation of them. It isn’t about dirty money so much as the pursuit and abuse of power—power as an end in itself, justifying almost any means.
The modern GOP as a whole, is overwhelmingly corrupt, and dominated by fanaticals and extremists. Anyone imagining that Trump being defeated in November will lead to a moral awakening, or that republicans will return to democratic political norms once Trump is gone, is living in a fantasy world.
Republicans have chosen suppression and authoritarianism, because unlike the Dems, their party isn’t a coalition of interests in search of a majority. The Republican party isn’t interested in what the majority of Americans want. The Republican party doesn’t even hide it’s contempt for the American people.
The big question is whether America as we know it can long endure when one of its two major parties has effectively rejected the principles on which our nation was built.
@Ray Lovelace wdym Donnie isn’t a dictator?? Wtf r u living in an alternate reality lmao
@Creepy Uncle Joe Why are you unable to actually understand English? Cyrillic keyboard?

“I don’t think science knows”-person who claimed there were airports in 1776
We don’t persecute people for their religion; we just have to keep them away from sharp objects.
🤣
Trump. The virus kills mostly older folks with health problems,…basically no one.
Steven lol and has he looked in the mirror lately
Ten to one those ballots were discarded appropriately (perhaps for signature issues) but improperly disposed of.
I can tell you what happened……ballotts in Pa. have to be put in an envelop, and then placed in a second envelop……the inner envelop is not to be opened now…..The contractor thought those ballots were actually the applications for a ballott….since those overseas ballotts were sent out two months ago, but the domestic ballotts, not yet…….and bottom line…..Luzerne County , where this happened , is a REPUBLICAN controlled county….
@james caporale Thanks for the information. This presidency just gets worse with every day.
More likely, it’s a lie.
It’s time for America to stop ignoring and start addressing its Christian extremist problem.
But but but jeebuz
@Chris Scott Chris Scott claims religion.
If you are a religious zealot ,you should be adress as mr taliban for you
Are as if not more dangerous than the taliban itself!!!
GOP IS THE KKK IN RED CAPS NOW
@HOME TEAM
Jesus was a brown socialist Palestinian jew, he wouldn’t like no uneducated racist GOP magat
Barr is supposed to be the AG for the United States of America; instead, he is Donald’s personal flunky, paid for by taxpayers.
The “new Roy Cohn.”
For all you know, the so called discarded ballot issue is a set up by the republicans.
Duh…
Who would discard only 9 ballots out of 6,000,000 that will be cast in PA, leave them intact, and place them in the nearest dumpster? A clumsy and brain deficient clerk trying to hide a really bad booboo?
@ruth depew Exactly, you would try to cover up the tampered/unsealed ballots by……leaving them intact.
And findable.
And identifiable.
Agree.
@Lee C my thoughts ezactly
@ruth depew they claim they are military ballots
Trump is fairly quickly turning the entire federal government into his personal workforce
@Sue Zbell hes a giant parasite
The Republican Party is no longer a political party/movement. It’s a criminal organization
@BC stargazer amen
That is all that he has done for nearly four years.
DONTHECON is running the con of his life on America
DRAG HIM OUT AND LOCK HIM UP 2K21
Trump Playbook is simple – “Repeat a lie often enough and it becomes the truth” – Joseph Goebbels
I have never been frightened of my own country until now!! With trump in office I pray God removes him.
TRUMP IS PLAYING THE REPS. FOR FOOLS. BEHIND CLOSE DOORS HE IS 😂🤣😂🤣 THEM.
Why is Barr still in Office as AG? Remove him. Make him resign. Get rid of him.
Moscow Mitch Mc Connell is Too spineless He works for Traitor Trump NOT AMERICA !
@John Doe I’m not sure Moscow Mitch doesn’t answer directly to Putin. He’s been a pro longer.
The missing nine ballets thing was obviously a false flag operation by Trump sycophants — who were involved in discarding the ballets and then supposedly “finding” them…
I don’t think if nine votes were randomly discarded they would just coincidentally all be for the same candidate.
@Bace smells like a dead cat up the line somewhere to me.
Military ballots no less
*_Trump will not accept the election result. He will have Republican State Legislators invalidate mail in ballots. Vote in person and vote Early._*
@Nancy M Ross …Lyndon B. Johnson was a very smart southern man. He knew that Democrats would lose the south when he signed the civil rights bill into law. That was one of his most memorable statements during that time.
@Diana Hulstine https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/ivanka-trump-voting-machines/
@Nancy M Ross Oh and go back and watch as major republicans in today’s party describe trump to a T before the elections.
@TomI won’t go to your site if you can’t tell me then I don’t care .I remember when the traitor bought them0
@D MP indeed he did. After he signed the bill, he accurately predicted what would happen. It just shows the deep hatred and bigotry that still permeate many parts of the south, and the rest of the country if accuracy is the goal. Mark Meadows demonstrated this kind of thinking when he proposed sending Obama back to Kenya or wherever he is from. That statement alone should disqualify him from ever holding office, but now he is “l am not a racist” Trump’s chief negotiators to fix the economy. No wonder nothing positive has happened. It might do something good for the poor folk.
It’s called planting the seed…this administration is good at it…what a clusterfu**
Let us Vote in Great Numbers for BIDEN/HARRIS so there is NO QUESTION
as to who is the clear winner! Let us save our DEMOCRACY!
Democracy is failing. VOTE.
Bob Woodward said this:
Donald Trump is putting a dagger in our U.S. Constitution.
📜🦅🇺🇸
@Diane O’Donovan
DRAG HIM OUT AND LOCK HIM UP 2K21
this is a Putin installed criminal enterprise folks not an administration
@Indi Pillai No matter against whom it is done, a mob dragging someone from their home, even if just to lock them up and not do bodily harm, seems to me an offence to the rule of law (by which I don’t mean rule-by-cop). If you add an illegal weapon to any store, be prepared to see it used for reasons other than those you consider the good.
@Diane O’Donovan
The poorest uneducated GOP racists and traitors come from shithole redstates that collect half their budgets from blue donor states FACTS
@Diane O’Donovan
DRUMPF KILLED 200THOUSAND AMERICANS
worst economy in history millions unemployed 500billion ppp TAXPAYER dollars stolen
ANYONE BUT THE PUSS GRABBER 2K20
Their two sides too every story.
This is insane. The DOJ has no business trying to help Trump get re-elected or steal the election
He needs to be impeached immediately, before the election.
@Kay dies no good same senate scabs will not remove him
Barr may have very good selfish reasons to do this: he risks being indicted if Biden wins, and only just so. Vote blue! Take the senate back! Take America back! Vote early! Vote safe! Vote Biden Harris!
🗳 VOTE HIM OUT! …VOTE HIM OUT! TO SAVE 🇺🇸 AMERICA… 🗳VOTE HIM OUT!
I wonder who set this up, one guess. another trump scam.
Trump and his administration are attacking America, its Constitution and Democractic norms from within.
