Bull. If America wants Bernie Sanders for its President this country deserves what’s coming. And EVERY American should care about a lawless Federal Leviathan.

Trump’s tweets reach more people in and out of the MSM and could be seen as biasing a jury.

Doesn’t matter that Barr had been out of government. He had been corrupt CIA and in on Iran Contra on multiple levels. Poppy’s fixer in and out of the DoJ.

Big pals with all the Mueller, Rosenstein crew.

Swamp Creature.

From day one.

A lot of the past 3 year would never have happened.

I bet there were 1,000 voices whispering to Trump why Rudy could not be chosen.

He got rid of a lot of lousy aides it seems. A lot less voices that have his ear now. That’s a good thing.

Give Rudy 2 years. People Will get indicted.

I tend to believe the rumor that Barr was the Bushes’ enforcer pick they made Trump put in as part of the truce they struck after Poppy’s death.

An issue is that Mitch wouldn’t have the Senate approve anyone but a swamper.

And Barr is doing more to cover up than illuminate.

It’s a shame Trump made so many bad picks from the start of his admin, as he’s not got much to go to there.

I have no question but that Barr is Swamp and that Trump shouldn’t tweet about those who should be prosecuted as being guilty.

How about Eugene Scalia? He’s made it through Senate confirmation, right?

There’s no requirement that the AG be a lawyer, just as there is no requirement that a Supreme Court judge have been a judge.

That thing went from a batters belt to his knees in the span of about 2 feet. Poor Johnny Roseboro trying to catch that stuff every 4 days:)

I think Rudy is past it. Plus his actions as Trump’s private lawyer would make it difficult to get him confirmed.

It looks like a stall to me. No charges against Hillary, Comey, McCabe etc. I mean, how long does it take, give me a break!

The deep state can lie, deceive, prosecute whomever they wish, decline to prosecute whomever they wish, create process crimes based on defendants memory, etc. Corrupt to the nth degree, and protected by the mainstream media 100 percent. No election will ever touch them.

Barr is our champion, going to fix all this, yeah right! Why would he commit political and possibly actual suicide in the last few year of his life, which he has worked so hard to build?

I haven’t seen one of them declare Trump to be the deepest of deep state plants but I’m sure it’s eventually going to happen.

Sure they do. They want another Holder or Lynch. So do John Brennan and James Comey, among many others. And we can hope POSObama is extremely nervous.

Replace him with Tom Fitton of Judicial Watch. Tom has uncovered 10x as much as Barr, and he’s not even privy to half the inside info as Barr.

________

And Tom looks like he could squeeze a large car into an old phone booth.
