Democrats go after Barr over DOJ Russia investigation (Schiffty - 'weaponizing the Justice Dept')
Politico ^ | 10/27/19 | MARIANNE LEVINE

Democrats are accusing Attorney General William Barr of using the Justice Department to do President Donald Trump's political bidding.

Democratic criticism of the attorney general comes amid media reports that a department probe into the FBI's investigation connections between Russia and the Trump 2016 campaign has now become a criminal investigation. Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, accused Barr on Sunday of “weaponizing” the Justice Department. Meanwhile, Senate Democrats have called on Barr to recuse himself from the department's investigation.

"Bill Barr, on the president’s behalf, is weaponizing the Justice Department to go after the president’s enemies,” Schiff said on ABC‘s “This Week with George Stephanopoulos.” “He’s demonstrating once again that he is merely a tool of the president, the president’s hand, not the representative of the American people.”

Trump has repeatedly called on Barr to investigate how the FBI began its Russia probe. John Durham, the U.S. attorney for Connecticut, is leading that effort. The Justice Department’s Office of the Inspector General has also been conducting an investigation into aspects of the FBI's Russia probe. That report is expected to be released in the near future.

Barr can hurt them, with the law, because they have been breaking the law for the last ten years.

‘”Bill Barr, on the president’s behalf, is weaponizing the Justice Department to go after the president’s enemies,” Schiff said’

And what was it that Eric Holder said....oh yeah.. I’m Obama’s wingnman.

“...tool of the president.”

Let’s hope so — an instrument of justice.

"Democrats are accusing Attorney General William Barr of using the Justice Department to do President Donald Trump's political bidding."

Because only investigations by the doj for fanatical democrats are legitimate and free from partisan influence.

I suppose if anyone knows about that it would be Schiffty.

Meanwhile, Senate Democrats have called on Barr to recuse himself from the department's investigation.

HAHAHAHA! That only works when the AG is in cahoots with the progs.

They are figuring out the nasty part of a $h1t-storm is headed right for them.

... and Janet Reno always had Billy-Bob’s back for him. The AG position is always the head of the clean-up crew for any Democrat occupant of the White House. But Republican AG’s??? They get immobilized by Media criticism from Day frigging 1. Any political controversy with an R in the WH and it’s immediately “Special Prosecutor time. Dems just stonewall.

The longer they delay in reports from Horowitz, and the criminal referral to the Grand Jury the worst it will become.
