MSNBC's Joe Scarborough: Impeach 'Lackey, Stooge' Barr
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 05/02/2019 7:13:46 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

The Morning Joe crew wound themselves up into predictable outrage over Attorney General Bill Barr's Senate testimony of yesterday. Joe Scarborough capped the display of righteous indignation by calling for Barr's impeachment, hurling a couple of epithets along the way. Scarborough:

"I understand it doesn’t make political sense to impeach Donald Trump, but for the life of me I don’t know why Democrats would not start gathering evidence to impeach this man [Barr]. He is actually as dangerous in the position of Attorney General as Donald Trump is as President of the United States . . . Barr is not an Attorney General of the United States, he is Donald Trump's defense attorney. He's his lackey. He's his stooge."

Perhaps more interesting than Scarborough's call for Barr's impeachment was his acknowledgment that it "doesn't make political sense to impeach Donald Trump." Guess that makes Joe a Pelosi Democrat rather than a Tlaib/Ocasio-Cortez one.

Note: It wasn't so long ago that Joe and Mika themselves might have been called Trump's lackeys, stooges, or as Rolling Stone put it, "lapdogs." Author Matt Taibbi accused them of "a craven display of bumlicking and softballing," and described a "hot-and-sweaty ménage a trois between the candidate and Mika and Joe." The National Review also cataloged Scarborough's enthusiastic praise for Trump.

Looks like Scarborough’s given up on impeaching Trump: now wants to go after Barr.

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.

MSM has dropped this story.

Drudge, of course, is still full hoodie on it.

Confirmed with 52 votes, he could be impeached but could never be convicted. Put down the bong, Joe.

There is no end to all this BS. The goal is obviously to set up more smoke screens and divert attention away from those who should be investigated. The left keeps telling us to “look a squirrel” when the investigation seems to be headed in their direction.

This is like Stalin torturing people to confess to crimes they didn’t commit. If you’re not willing to condemn the president, you’re guilty.

He is actually as dangerous in the position of Attorney General as Donald Trump is as President of the United States

Much truth to that statement. When he begins to investigate the origins of the whole 'Russian Collusion' hoax and attempted presidential coup, he will become quite dangerous to the Democrat Party and it's stooges.

AG Barr is becoming much more of a threat to the Democrats than President Trump is. Barr is investigating them and shows every intention of making them accountable. They have to undermine is credibility and attempt to get rid of him before all of their true crimes are exposed and prosecuted.

The attacks on Barr is because he is going to get to the truth! Plain and simple! The closer the truth the more they scream! SO FUN TO WATCH!
