  1. ALSO EXPOSE MOSCOW MITCH!!! Joe Scarborough had the guts to call out MOSCOW MITCH! EXPOSE THE MARXIST MOB that has now infiltrated the US GOVT

    1. “Marxist”??
      Hardly. The “Moscow Mitch” moniker is a reference to present day Russia, specifically Putin. Russia has become a capitalist, oligarchical, plutocratic dictatorship — quite the opposite of Marxism. McConnell and the GOP are certainly not communists or Marxists. They want the US to be just like today’s Russia, not the former Soviet Union.

    1. @vulcan stein
      No he didn’t. He proved it and said it was happening again right now, but you lot keep blocking any bills that would protect our elections.

    2. @Raven Stark Russia, China, and others,have been running adds on Facebook for over a decade. Your lot seems to think it made a difference THIS election though.😂🤣😂🍼🍼Not the fact that Hillary and most other Dems are wacko! Open borders, third trimester abortions, and transgender promotion, lost you the election, not Russia!! And you will lose again because MOST AMERICANS ARE AGAINST THAT NONSENSE!! Greatest POTUS EVER!! Hop on baby!🚂🚃🚃🚃

    1. Barrkachov will be pulling his hair out if the Manhattan DA takes a look see under the rug at The White House to see what Trumpski’s hiding there besides his Tax returns

  2. Barr covered up for Reagan and Bush during Iran Contra. He’s here for a repeat performance and has zero credibility like the fake president.

  3. Bill Barr may be able to protect Trump for the time being but at the state level, New York is dismantling the Trump businesses.

    1. R.I.C.O. charges loom in the future. DeBlasio said trump and is family aren’t welcome back in NY. When he’s thrown out the WH he may make a run for it outside the country.

  4. i wont get my hopes up until i know for certain that nobody on this case is affiliated with the Trumps.

    1. @Talia Kay not 2020 it’s actually 16 sexual assaults and 5 rapes you guys keep getting trumps numbers wrong

    1. @Anthony Egidio trump still greatest defender of US Constitution in my life time. His heart is in the right place but he is not a diplomat. Tulsi Gabbard. ( Still a reserve soldier)…the only viable candidate on Democrats side. The rest of the Democrats are bozos. Go tulsi…GO ARMY. And trump not a perfect man but perfect for the times ( without him, I had no clue how bad the swamp us). You too trump ( viva the rude obnoxious orange man) 2020. I’ll support trump or tulsi

    2. You are talking about Eric Holdeer and thatt woman who met with Clinton during Hilary run for a President…Evil losers always project their own EVIL deeds and ASPIRAIONS onto innocents…

  5. There is NO Constitutional rule nor any other law that states a sitting POTUS can’t be indicted and/or impeached. Years ago a DOJ Director put out a memo that the POTUS cannot be impeached because it would send the country into a “tail spin.”
    However, trashy Trump has done that just that on his own…and worse.

    1. @Cynthia Allen I guess we ARE a bunch of sheep. Since the policy came into effect, the Presidency has become sacrosanct and Presidents have gotten away with murder.

    2. @victor soto Explain how? You spout a lot of accusations without any substance. I think the LEFTWING is doing a FINE JOB undermining the US Constitution. They don’t even want us to have borders.

  6. When this is over, billy Barr is the one person aside from trump who should be in prison for breaking our laws repeatedly

    1. Democrats are projecting their EVIL deeds and aspirations onto President trump. Projection is a typical tool of EVIL losers…as anybody who understand basic psychology UNDERSTANDS!

    1. @Dorian Shades of gray or you could make a educated comment, but we know dtrump supporters 😂😂😂😂

    1. YES !!!! They need to put this DICTATOR in prison for the rest of his life !!!! I don’t mind my tax dollars being spent on Trump in the orange prison clothes. Hate to tell him, but I really doubt that he will be able to have his ORANGE SPRAY TAN !!!!

    1. What could an independent businessman just turned President have on Barr that the Dems don’t already have? Bill Barr has been working for the gov’t for a LONG time, DUH

  7. You realize if trump was a descent human being all this crap would have been avoided but nope he’s a sociopathic, narcissistic con man with no empathy or compassion for anybody but himself

    1. Sorry to burst your bubble, but it still would have happened any way. GOD said, “You will Reap what You Sow.” “Give and You will Receive.” Guess what, Trump Sow that Seed now he has to Reap the Harvest. He Gave the Crazy, now he has to Get the Crazy back. I must say, it couldn’t happen to a nicer person.🤣🤣🤣

  8. Trump lied today saying a well respected Manhatten judge ruled the Russia investigation was a hoax. This is pure Karma

    1. As soon as he opens his repugnant mouth, lies come marching out! We just can not stand your lying, corrupted con man President. He is embarrassing the office he unfortunately holds, and your once proud nation.

    2. fusion fan He is following the lead of the greatest President of all liberal minds Barack Hussian Obama. 2016 HE was President when this Russian interference was taking place. He did NOTHING, NOTHING al all.

  9. Next election America or putin ?Democrat or Republican. Dems want to protect America, Republicans want to protect putin.
