After Barr squashed Mueller, I stayed sane knowing that Trump was likely to break the law again.

Never in my wildest dreams did I think he would do the EXACT same thing, and only FOUR months later. Only this time, he's using taxpayer money to coerce another country to intervene in our election and actually doing the dirty work himself (instead of relying on Manafort, Kushner, or Beavis Jr).

He really doesn't ever disappoint!

anopolous that he would accept dirt. Third, he is a corrupt skank no matter what he is doing so it was all very obvious. There is more coming no doubt.

Once it seemed like he was going to skate on the 2016 crimes, it sent a message that people (including Trump himself) could do the same thing with impunity.

Dipstick Donnie would try to pull off another illegal stunt. Only this time it involves Taxpayer Dollars.

Way past time to Impeach Bill Barr or at least hold him in full Contempt.

The more desperate he gets about staying in power to avoid prosecution, the more outrageous his criminality will get.
