"Adam Schiff Demands Investigation Into Barr’s Trump Felony Cover-Up"
. . . .
"There are still a great many questions unanswered by the documents made public [ by the United States District in Manhattan on 7-18-19], including Trump’s legal exposure when he leaves office, but the one of most immediate concern to me [Schiff] is the involvement, if any, of Attorney General Barr. Barr testified that he believes it was within the President’s power to stop any investigation into his own potential criminality if he felt an investigation was unfair. Barr has demonstrated there are no lengths to which he will not go to protect the President, and I believe it is of paramount importance to determine if he had any involvement in the SDNY’s investigation or sought to bring it to a close."

1. Go get him Adam Schiff!

Barr is an outright criminal.

[bdamomma]

22. thugs and criminals

they have no shame sickening.

[MBS]

34. Agreed.

Plus he's so brazen about it! I shouldn't be shocked by now, but -

[olegramps]

54. Just what will it take to convince Americans that their own freedoms are in jeopardy?

Just what will it take for the most vulnerable of Americans, the so-called common man, to awaken to the fact that the Republican hierarchy is determined to overthrow our democratic government and replace it with a fascist oligarchy. It appears that after fifty years of intense propaganda that they are confident enough to out rightly challenge the nation's most cherished principle. That no man is above the law. I also wonder if those common working folks even have the fortitude to resist. I appears that the fascists are not only winning, but winning battle without firing a shot and a large segment of our fellow citizens are embracing the fascist message of hatred an division not unlike the endorsement of Hitler's message of hatred and division. Could this lead to a catastrophe as dire as what German suffered?

[triron]

56. Going that way.

[SlogginThroughIt]

60. too many have bought in to

too many have bought in to the idea that we are a republic and not a democracy. They actually support the idea of having less democratic control over the country. That bullshit has been sold to them for years and now that the party that they supported for so long is in power they are full throttle for removing our democracy to keep it that way. It is completely fucked up that they cannot see the need to have a reversal option should they need it but there you have it. They WANT our democracy to fail.

[NewJeffCT]

2. They need to put teeth into these demands

pretty soon, even if Trump loses at the SCOTUS level, he's going to just ignore results he doesn't like if his minions keep getting away with everything.

[Pepsidog]

39. Exactly. Lots of hot air that's all.

[duforsure]

3. Barr is a criminal

And will be facing prison time, and made an example of after ignoring the rule of law.

[dalton99a]

4. He should go to jail like John Mitchell

[True Blue American]

9. Barr has

Already been impeached by the House. He edges ever closer to the brink.

What I can not understand do Trump and Epstein have something on his father, or him?

[leftieNanner]

24. Don't believe he has been impeached

Cited for contempt of Congress. Impeachment would be great though!

[hedda_foil]

25. He has .NOT been impeached they voted him in felony contempt of Congress.

It will want end up in court because Barr will thumb his lying nose at that too.I'm

[malaise]

28. Ditto

Can't wait for his fall

[FiveGoodMen]

21. Sounds like wishful thinking

[MBS]

35. please, yes, it's what he deserves and what our democracy needs to have happen. n/t

[spanone]

5. K&R...

[Vinca]

6. They've got to do something about Barr. I think Barr would cover up Don doing anything.

If the treasure trove in Epstein's safe produces a video of Trump molesting or raping a child, we need to know.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

8. I have a feeling tht is what Trump could be afraid of...

This needs to come out.

[True Blue American]

10. What about Barr,himself?

[Vinca]

12. Good point. That hadn't occurred to me.

[True Blue American]

14. Barr strikes me as being

As sleazy as Trump or Epstein. Thinks he can get away with anything.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

47. What about the Bush's? Isn't he close to them? I

Have despised them but SURELY there is a strand of decency about them? To stand up to this? What about all the living presidents?

[True Blue American]

50. I do wish they would band together

And speak as a team. Jimmy Carter has, but maybe closer to the election would be better.

Barr covered for Reagan and Bush in Iran/ Contra so do not expect much from Bush.

[Mme. Defarge]

13. I fear that Epstein was arrested for the main purpose

of securing his stash of blackmail material so that it is never seen by the public.

[people]

31. Fear that Epstein was arrested for the main purpose . . .

After seeing how the SDNY investigation of the Trump Org, etc., ended, probably at Barr's insistence, I fear that too.

[johnnyfins]

19. any evidence incriminating dirty donny

Is already destroyed. Epsteins case is federal. Ultimately overseen by Barr. Do you think he will let anything like that come out?

[stopbush]

7. Can we just assume that Barr stopped the investigation,

that the proof of him stopping it will emerge soon, and that nothing - ABSOLUTELY NOTHING - will happen to Barr, tRump or any other criminal involved in this?

[Botany]

11. " Can we just assume that Barr stopped the investigation, ... "

Yes, Barr stopped Mueller before he could file any charging statements and then
said he would redact from the report anybody who wasn't charged.

Barr is "a republican/criminal organization fixer."

[johnnyfins]

20. which is why im suspicious of this new epstein case

[True Blue American]

51. Of course he is.

[kentuck]

15. Investigate Barr

He thinks he is above the law.

[pwb]

16. Barr cant tell New York state to stop investigating .

The disloyal family is fucked after trumps one term presidency.

[BSdetect]

17. More action required.

[kacekwl]

18. Who's going to investigate,

the DOJ ?

[happy feet]

23. YESSS!!!!!!

[zentrum]

26. Schiff for AG 2020

[Turbineguy]

27. A 69 year old person should consider

how much of the time they have left in life they want to spend in jail. Especially to protect a piece of shit like trump.

Unless of course he's playing some 3 dimensional chess game designed to ensnare trump.

[yaesu]

29. The fixer is just doing his job, keeping the crime family safe

[True Blue American]

52. Honestly

That is what Barr is, The fixer!

You nailed it!

[triron]

57. Took over for Cohen. That's why Cohen only one charged by SDNY.

[True Blue American]

61. Is Barr from New York?

Just asking for a friend.

[patphil]

30. White collar criminals always believe any investigation of wrongdoing on their part is unfair.

Barr isn't even trying to hide his disdain for the rule of law.
I'd call him an asshole but that would defame honest, hardworking assholes who are just doing their job of holding back a pile of shit until it can be properly dumped down the old shit can.

Barr is what comes out of an asshole...in this case, Trump.

Patrick Phillips

[BlueJac]

32. K&R

[elleng]

33. YES!

Received this e.mail today:

'Some important news from Adam’s district: A wealthy, Trump-loving Republican just filed to run against Adam in 2020.

And on the first day of his campaign, our new opponent decided his first stop should be a far-right, pro-Trump news network that is known to push wacky conspiracy theories to attack Adam with a bunch of smears that would make the President proud.

He called Adam a national disgrace and a liar. He claimed Adam is trying to cover-up the “crimes” and “Russian collusion” of Hillary Clinton and the DNC. He spread vicious and hurtful conspiracy theories about a tragically murdered DNC staffer. And he said Adam is on a mission to hold Donald Trump accountable.

Okay, he’s actually right about that last part, but the rest of it? It’s a sad demonstration of the Trumpification of the Republican party.

Attacks from the fringe are not anything new for Adam, but we have to take this seriously for one simple reason. Our new opponent is wealthy and he has a history of spending hundreds of thousands of his own money trying to buy elections.

Adam relies on grassroots support from people like you to get his message out and fight back, whether the attacks are coming from the President or his new opponent. That’s why we’re asking:

Will you pitch in $5 or whatever you can to show you’re standing with Adam and you want to make sure he can keep focusing on his work in Congress at this crucial time?'

36. Someone has saimething really big on Jabba.

[sweetroxie]

37. AG Barr is the keystone

He must be removed.

[RANDYWILDMAN]

38. Thanks Congressman Schiff

For doing the right thing again and again.

The stain of the Trump adminstration is leaving a permanent mark on the United States.

[Kablooie]

40. Agree but there are so many things to investigate it will never be finished in our lifetimes.

I'm so sick of investigations.
I need some indictments and convictions.
It's like we are being asked to hold our breath for years but are never allowed to let it out.

[triron]

44. Good metaphor.

[BootinUp]

41. Schiff might have a little canine genes. Nt

[Skittles]

42. and find out why BARR stopped the Mueller investigation

[triron]

43. Schiff knows something is amiss. Maybe more than that.

[tblue37]

45. K&R for visibility. nt

[triron]

46. knr

[Laura PourMeADrink]

48. So the founding fathers had a remedy for a bad

AG and a bad president. But they didn't think of both of them stinking at once along with a Senate from the same party being complicit.

[True Blue American]

53. Mitchell and Nixon

Were just like Barr and Trump, only not quite a mob like Trump and company.

[DeminPennswoods]

49. One of the MSNBC legal guests made a good point

that since SDNY gave Weisselberg and Pecker some type of immunity for their co-operation, there really isn't anyone else, except Trump, named in the indictment to prosecute. Just food for thought.

[triron]

58. How about Hope Hicks and Don, Jr. Why wasn't Trump named as violating campaign finance laws and

participating in a conspiracy. SDNY did the same as Mueller, only worse.

[DeminPennswoods]

59. Trump was named as a co-conspirator,

but iaw DoJ policy, a sitting president can't be indicted.

[Hestia]

55. Another tsk-tsking, mugging for the cameras.
