Trump’s Hands Now Firmly Gripping The Steering Wheel At The Department Of Justice | Deadline | MSNBC

    1. All Barr did (in relation to Stone) was make a sentence recommendation. Nothing uncommon about that. The sentencing is up to the judge. All this big freak out is an exaggeration. The real reason for the freak out is that all prosecutions which stemmed from the Mueller investigation are in danger of being tossed out because the origin was the illegal FISA warrants.

  1. The Republican party is now known as the League of Extraordinary Cowards. It’s the party where cowardice is not only encouraged, it’s also celebrated. Leave your spines at the door.

  2. These are all trial balloons that Trump is sending up to see what he can get away with. He will keep escalating until he is stopped. When you don’t say where the line is, you get what you tolerate.

    1. Exactly! On top of that even when he is exposed he just keeps doing more. This is a direct path toward authoritarianism.

    1. @Wesley C. Instead of looking at facts or answer a simple question,you falsely accuse him of insulting you and accused me of complaining.

    1. @Doom2exe Oh I have. An unstable nutcase and rabid narcissist but an excellent crook and con. Formed out of swamp mud. As for Barr. Now he is Satan’s slime

    2. Stop doing business with people who support Trump.
      Trump is a liar and a traitor and his supports cheer him on.
      Why would you trust your hard-earned money to these people?
      Stop doing business with people who support Trump!

    3. @jeff mcgowan….. you are so very brainless. Another one has lost it folks. A better education for you was necessary. Sorry.

  3. This is another reason we must vote against ANYONE with an “R” after their name. If we don’t we will become an authoritarian country.

    1. @Allan Ritchie ha that’s the best fact you’ve got? It’s true, but those are the same kind of dems that Nixon courted in the late 60’s. They’re all Republicans now and you should know that

    2. @Wes Bernard
      “our nation is doing awesome”
      Yeah, real awesome. Sacrificed nearly 100% of it’s credibility.

    3. @Allan Ritchie
      You’re absolutely right. And then the Republicans invited the Klan and all the southern bigots and segregationists into their party in the 50s and 60s and they went and found a new home. The GOP called it the “Southern Strategy” and it made them the party of hate, racism and xenophobia that they are today. Sorry, that’s a fact. Google it, son. Learn your history before shooting off your big mouth.

    4. @Wes Bernard
      “here you are and I see you like your own comment too”
      Did Trump teach you how to lie? Somkit never “liked” his own comment. I checked.

  4. Stone had a real attitude during his trial. He openly defied the courts and basically thumbed his nose at the justice system, and so it will be extremely damaging to the justice system if he gets off lightly.This will send a strong signal to everyone that you should not cooperate in any way if you are brought up on charges, and you can do whatever you like to publicly lower the status and gravity of the courts. His sentence should be on the high side, and not on the low side.

    1. G K2 Soon it’s “the Handmaid’s Tale” instead, especially with the evil, shameless, and corrupt Evangelicals, with Pence at the helm… 😢

    1. @M Dutton Hillary warned us about the chaos that would ensue if tRump was selected, and it happened.
      She was right all along.
      tRump is a wannabe Hitler, that’s why they call him Agolf Tweetler.

    2. Stop doing business with people who support Trump.
      Trump is a liar and a traitor and his supports cheer him on.
      Why would you trust your hard-earned money to these people?
      Stop doing business with people who support Trump!

    1. He should pardon anyone caught up in the mueller witch hunt , they where investigating people to see if crimes where committed , it’s supposed to be investigating crimes to see who did them

    2. @Saynoto Socialists I think all the indictments and guilty plea’s serve to illustrate there were crimes commited.

    1. As I commented in an earlier post, now that his big buddies in the Republican side of things have let him clean off the hook as to ANYTHING criminal, we’re now at the point where he locks the exits of all the Kindergarten classes and tosses in 10 angry, hungry pittbulls and stands back to watch what happens. That whole comment about standing in the corner of Fifth Ave and Anywhere and gunning down anybody begins to show true light. Will you just LOOK at what they’ve done! He’ll probably celebrate the biggest and best ever Spring by setting up a guillotine on the front lawn of the Whitehouse and lopping off heads while his rabid subjects cheer him on. The problem is, we’ve probably not seen anything yet!

    1. You are 100% correct , the GOP & Fox ( thier primary propaganda outlet ) are the only reason we are in this sad state of affairs.
      The GOP are a cancer on our country & will destroy democracy if we allow them to.

    2. Then why are people fleeing blue states for red states? The only population growth blue states get is from illegal immigrants mouching off your entitlements?

    1. YOU SILLY LIDDLE TWIT…….YOU DIDN’T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH LORETTA LYNCH MEETING WITH SLICK WILLY ON THE TARMAC DID YOU?  YOU SILLY LIDDLE HYPOCRITE…

    2. immobilien I know you’re trying to make a point but what does that have to do with what Barr is doing and has done? For God’s sake he killed trumps pedo buddy when they felt like he was gonna sing.

    1. @Sperup AD Exactly I kept hearing that again and again so I went and did some deep research on it. The truth is, Obama never did those things but you keep seeing people say that in the comments section of YouTube videos and another places again and again. You know how people are, all they do is parrot parrot parrot even if it’s not factual. We truly are going through information wars and media wars.

  5. My vote is of “no confidence” in the president and his administration and the department of justice. It’s time for US as Americans to stand up for what has held our country true for so many years. We need a great voter turn out to remove these corrupt people from office. Stand up !!
