Democratic Sens. Mark Warner (Va.) and Dianne Feinstein (Calif.) are calling on Justice Department watchdogs to investigate Attorney General William Barr's comments about the firing of intelligence community Inspector General Michael Atkinson.

"This is a disservice to ICIG Atkinson. It also raises broader questions about whether Attorney General Barr is following Department policies and rules of professional conduct that demand candor and impartiality from lawyers, particularly those who serve the public trust," the senators wrote.

"We request that you investigate whether Attorney General Barr's statements in matters involving the interests of the President violate applicable Justice Department policies and rules of professional conduct," they added.

And THANKS. On the 1st cup of coffee!

At least that is my excuse!

Think maybe Nancy was not a conservative with a capital ‘C’. Just had the decency not to embarrass her husband.

She spawned two very liberal kids that seemed to hate their father so probably not.

That is for sure!
