Impeach Barr

hey lets buy his inane book

legal games to what end?

I would still like to know who at the FBI coordinated the early dawn attack on his house? How many agents were there, 40? Who made the call, or is the FBI afraid to answer the question and why some many?

Decades for not telling the Democrates what hey wanted to hear and no charges for people burning, looting, beating and murdering. Wonder why conservatives are less than understanding.

I'm betting it's an assumption like usual.

Both side can argue political motive.

What is going on with Politics now, and what next

But the WSJ never really writes about the corruption, do you...

More fake news from democrat 'elites.' For democrat crackpots.

Sfa

And the hits keep coming for the President. Damn those little nuts of his have to be getting sore.

and?

Fact or fiction

Because Stone would never have been so crucified had the Left not been all in on destroying Trump by any means they could make up.

Another crook

3rd world democracy

Rag news. Stick to facts. This is nonsense.

Are you sure? I think that Barr meant to call his butcher and ask for a 64 oz cut of tomahawk rib-eye. You know the problems with VoIP.

Give him a deal, resign now or face jail time later.

Maybe Barr is auditioning for his next career. Mob boss!

What, like the pre-dawn armed raid on his home?

Prosecutor: Roger Stone got special treatment from Justice Department'What I heard— repeatedly— was that Roger Stone was bring treated differently from any other defendant because of his relationship to the president,' fed. prosecutor Aaron Zelinsky says in testimony prepared for a hearing Wed. before House Judiciary Cmte. The guy connected to the President was treated differently than other defendants? Not shocking. He probably deserved more time. Roger Stone and his wife are swingers who swing in both directions and have done for many years. They don't try to hide that. I've never thought of them as frail or disabled. Should we assume their days of bisexual orgies have ended. BTW, i'm NOT criticizing their lifestyle. ObamaGate isn’t a ‘distraction’ — it’s about outrageous abuses

Ex-Stone prosecutor says Stone treated differently 'because of his relationship to the President'A deputy to former special counsel Robert Mueller plans to tell a congressional panel Wednesday that the 'highest levels' of the Justice Department politicized the sentencing of President Donald Trump's longtime friend and adviser Roger Stone by pressuring the acting US attorney for the District of Columbia to ease up on his sentencing, according to written testimony the committee released Tuesday. He was definitely treated differently. Remember all the people that lied to Congress and FBI during the investigation into Clinton? How many of them were prosecuted? Yeah, it’s different. DOJ can’t be trusted! It’s a mess
