William Barr's Senate Suck-Off, Official Viewing Thread

Who's sucking who?

There will be anal, and that's official.

Fire the liar

This is a waste of time

Tomorrow is the day I'm looking forward to, but the dems on the Senate panel today should be able to take a nice bite out of Barr. That's what I'm here for.

Slap him viciously.

Nicole Wallace: "You talk about collusion, what will happen in a few minutes between Lindsey Graham and Bill Barr, that will be collusion."

I look forward to Lindsey's hysterics. He gets bold when he gets that gavel in his little hand.

Puke. Lindsay you are a disgrace.

When Lindsey said "you can read the unredacted version" he scratched his face, a nonverbal "tell" he is LYING.

GASLIGHT!! Motherfucker!

Ha! Brian Williams interrupts Graham to say he's lying!

Lindsey: But her emails!

Can Miss Lindz be fined by the FCC for swearing on network TV?

Lindsey just dropped an f bomb.

Lindsey sucking off Trump on live television. But her emails!!!

How is this helpful OR relevant to what the Mueller report covered???

This is like a Sean Hannity screed.

STRAIGHT UP LYING for Trump his BAE. hes talking about Clinton, wtf??

Lol the letter was leaked to NBC just in time.

He should just assume the position now. Shameful display!

You're SO right that it is OVER for you, Lindsey!

Miz Lindsey is a disgrace.

Dianne, go get 'im girl!

Lindsey Graham is such a twat. How did she become the chair of this committee?

The Democrats need to really rip Barr a new one, I hope they can step up and do it.

Barr looks like he’s gonna stroke out

I feel for the Democrats, but...recent polls have shown most people out in the country don't want impeachment.

The country doesn't want it.

Me too, r26. Hit him with a sledgehammer.

You beat me to that very sentiment, r16, a public blowjob. Lordy, please let there be sex tapes in Pooty's vault.

I hope that the stunt that Lindsey just pulled will anger someone enough so that the whole unredacted Mueller report AND the pee tapes gets leaked.

[quote]I feel for the Democrats, but...recent polls have shown most people out in the country don't want impeachment. The country doesn't want it.

The country didn't want it for Nixon either ... until they did.

Barr is blinking too much and his hair is a mess. His coloring is off too.

All this is taking a health toll.

Well Lindsey Fox News plenty of material they can run over and over instead of anything important that might come out of this hearing. Trump must have some serious blackmail material on Lindsey. Someone might want to check John McCain's grave site to see if the dirt is heaved up from McCain turning over in his grave.

That is precisely right, R32. It took an investigation by congress to change the public attitude on Nixon. It's what finally caused his fall.

God, I hate Barr and his fat little sausage fingers.

ATTITUDE CHECK!

R 36, What station are you watching that cuts to Barr? I'm on NBC live stream and the camera is fixed on Feinstein.

MSNBC graphic: Moments ago -- House Judiciary Chairman Graham falsely claimed that the Mueller Report found "no collusion."

Feinstein looks like she's 100 years old.

It’s obvious that there’s some serious dirt on Ms. Graham

R28:

[quote]The support for impeachment in the poll breaks down along party lines. Ninety-one percent of Republicans said there should not be impeachment hearings, compared to 70 percent of Democrats who favor impeachment hearings. Fifty-one percent of independents said they opposed starting the process, compared to 40 percent who said they supported it.

No surprise there. The problem is that Barr's gambit worked: his fake news of Mueller's findings has given people the impression that the Report didn't find Trump guilty when 1) Mueller set out from the beginning that it was not the Special Prosecutor's role, in light of DOJ policy (not law or rule or any binding agreement) to not prosecute a sitting President; and 2) the Report clearly lays out the roadmap for investigation and impeachment. I mean, how much more clearly could Mueller have stated it than "if this were literally any other US citizen, I'd recommend indictment"?

Barr starts his testimony with a huge sigh.

Only CBS is carrying it, not ABC or NBC.

I see Miss Lindsey has her usual hot twink parked right behind her.

R38. MSNBC. They had a split screen with Feinstein and Barr.

thanks, r46, wish i could get their livestream.

Im sreaming video on CSPAN live via you tube. But listrning to audio on msnbc live audio for commentary

What is that black dot on Barr’s lower lip? It’s extremely disturbing to look at.

Legal eagle Renato Mariotti:

Graham also misstated the law on obstruction. It is a crime to attempt to obstruct justice, regardless of whether the attempt succeeded.

Still LOLing at Graham saying "Trump is a fucking idiot." Out of context memes ahoy!

[quote]Im sreaming video on CSPAN live via you tube. But listrning

Put. The mimosa. DOWN.

Barr again speaks of “collusion,” which does not exist. Coordination and conspiracy? Those are real crimes.

Philippe Reines:

In only 12 minutes Lindsey Graham:

• Lied 19 times

• Said trump supported Mueller 13 times

• Attacked Hillary 5 times

• Lied about Hillary 9 times

• Told 4 jokes nobody laughed at

• Said “Fucking” once

• Giggled at saying “fucking” once

The Republicans are in full-on spin mode to save Trump's ass, and it is beyond me why. Impeach Trump, get Pence, you have an incumbent who is capable, popular, and only has the fact that he's gay and in a sham marriage to undermine his run. I'm glad they're putting everything on the line for Trump: it only cements the Republicans as the party of hypocritical lying, cheating, whore-paying slimebuckets that they are.

Barr is aggressively attacking Mueller for allegedly not doing his job. This will end well, I’m sure.

That little black dot on Barr's lip is this mornings love bite from Trump.

R25 chuck grassley STEPPED DOWN so ms Lindsey could take the spot as committee head and protect Trump. SHADY SHADY SHADY

Why is Barr saying that it was up to him and Rosenstein to make a ruling on whether or not Trump was guilty of obstruction? That was absolutely not what Mueller said in his report at all. He specifically states that he was recommending that Congress decide.

I really don't care what Barr has to say in his opening statement since it was proven last night that he's a liar. I only care about the questions that the Democrats ask him and how he answers those questions. The Republicans are just going to shield him and keep distracting by bringing up Clinton and those evil, Trump hating FBI agents.

He’s doubling down on his lies, R59.

Why would Barr allow himself to become a Trump toady, and destroy his reputation forever? He should have just stayed retired.

Oh here we go with blaming the press.

I suspect that Trump has dirt on both Rosenstein and Barr to cause this atrocity.

It’s been theorized that he was radicalized by watching Fox all day. Plus, he was always a scumbag.

Barr thinks he can say anything because he won’t let Mueller testify right now.

Arrest every one of them. Every single one.

NO UNDERLYING CRIME?????

R28 The American people didn’t want impeachment during Nixon until they did.

Barr has always been an unethical turd.

[quote]That little black dot on Barr's lip is this mornings love bite from Trump.

Probably a stress cold sore.

"Clinton Clinton Clinton Clinton."

Fat Boy has got that dewy "Nixon sweaty upper lip look" at only 45 minutes in.

I am waiting for Kamala to slowly take off her earrings, turn, and pass her beer to a staffer. Sic him, Senator Harris.

This is disgusting. Miss Linds is wiping the cum off her lips,.

Barr is answering Miss Lindsey's questions so quickly that it looks like the questions were shared in advance.

BUMP

r70, more like chapped lips from a ball gag.

Miss Lindsey is upset that fired DOJ staffers expressed dislike of like Trump.

Someone should mention Miss L’s comments (pre-Golf) about Trump.

Under that logic, should Miss L have to recuse herself?

You think Melania has to peg Ms Linds twice a week to keep his 👄 shut?

Barr is bullshitting.

The guy is a lowlife, lying scumbag but his cowardly Republican buddy, Mueller just lets him go on. Fuck you, Mueller, you solid, shithead!

R80, dial back the comma abuse, they have done nothing to you to deserve this.

Russian talking point - blame Mueller. Block troll@ r80

William Make It Up While You Go Along Barr.

He needs a pie in the face.

Pretty soon Lindsey will burst into tears over Trumps ill treatment! I can not believe the way Trump the sewage, is protected with lies and more lies.

Struck and Page again....Jesus, they were both fired.

Feinstein's a fine questioner, but I'm looking most forward to Whitehouse, Durbin, and Klobuchar!

Didn't this Barr pig lie under oath when he said he didn't know the Mueller team had issues with how his summary mischaracterized the report? He already received the letter when he said "no" in front of the House.

Keep the thread bumped!!!

Why can Hillary never sue these bastards for all their lies. It is slander.

Steele dossier again!

Who’s the hottie with the dimple in his chin behind Madame Graham?

Chuck Grassley is trying to take the proceedings in another direction.

Hottie sitting behind Grassley.

I think PT just kicked in, fyi...

I'm ready for Kamala and Cory.

Why do the Russians want everyone to post in this thread?

R94 yeah, who is that hottie??

We really need to hear from Mueller.

Hillary investigation, she testified live to the FBI no subjects off limits, no written answers that she could submit to her lawyers for weeks to go over. Hillary replied 39 times some form of "I do not recall" during her live interview that lasted three-and-a-half hours.

Trump investigation, he refused to answer any questions in person only written answers that he could think about and have lawyers go over, there were subjects he refused to answer any questions about, even written answers. Trump replied some form of "I do not recall" 30 times in answers to 52 question. This is a man who claims he has one of the best all times memories in the history of the world.

R55 you bring up a point that I'm curious about as well. Not that I want Pence in office but why are the Republicans making fools of themselves to support Trump? I'd think that Pence could just as effectively support their agenda without the extra drama that comes with Trump.

Barr trying so hard to evade questions, keep at him dems!! He’s starting to get testy :)

[quote]Not that I want Pence in office but why are the Republicans making fools of themselves to support Trump?

Because Trump's base does not necessarily equal Pence's base.

And all of the Republicans (including Pence) are addicted to Trump's base.

Good on leahy - keep pressing him!

OT, but this committee looks like the audience of the Lawrence Welk show. Fein, Grass, Lady Linds, Cronyn, Leahy. Old old dottering and old.

Barr: what do you mean by receptive?

We have an Attorney General that doesn't understand the word receptive? or is he just wasting the Senator's time?

Who's the beefy balding photographer behind Barr? Yum!

BTW, Barr looks like Elton John's spawn after raping the ugliest Cabbage Patch doll he could find.

Nichole Wallace "he's lying". You go, girl.

The only rationale I can conceive of is that either Trump and the Russians have dirt on a majority of Republicans, or the Republicans believe that impeaching Trump will weaken the party to the point that they'll lose the WH, the Senate and have no chance in the House (as well as all of the downticket races).

I don't think the base argument holds water, R103; Trump's base is solidly Republican and will vote for literally anyone — as we saw in 2016 — with an 'R' after their name. And that base is something like a third of potential Republican voters, not exactly overwhelming, but can't be ignored, either.

My worry, frankly, is that Pence could motivate Evangelicals in a way that Trump can't (or they can be shamed into not admitting they support Trump).

^ It's like Olympic commentary! LOL

John Goodman must certainly play Barr in a film to tell the sordid tale of all of the Rethuglicans' fuckery.

I am having a heart attack, listening to his constant lies. I have to give up.

Nbc straight up calling Barr a liar, they broke into cornyn questioning to call out all the lies just spewed and state the facts. THANK YOU

Trump has a pee pee tape equivalent on Graham. I am convinced that Ms. Lindsay is Kompromat. Perhaps a video of Graham during one of his stays at Mar A Lago? Straight from the Russian playbook.

I think we can all see the cowardly Mueller brought this on us. We are watching the end of our democracy.

Second day in a row, Spectrum will not let me watch MSNBC...I hate Spectrum.

I want to hump the hunky aide sitting behind Senator Durbin.

MSNBC only streams to subscribers. This hurts me. I want to hear the commentary.

Christ R115, stop with the "cowardly" Mueller crap. You don't know who or what you're typing about.

I’m sorry. I just can’t.

But... But...

BUTTERY MALES!!!!!

Again I wonder why old guys refuse to retire. It makes me mad.

Haha durbin is calling out the GOP BS bringing up hillary stuff during this. Msnbc has an audio livestream for free im listening while i work

Durbin is on Barr's ass.

Yeah he is, r124!

"My Republican colleagues are clearly working to coordinate the 'Lock Her Up' defense."

Too bad Mueller doesn't tweet, I would love to be seeing his live reaction to this. I wonder if he is even watching.

Because balls.

I can't listen or I'll punch a wall but here's the live audio from MSNBC

It's absolutely useless to cover the Republican's questions, they should just show the Dems.

Senator Durbin (sarcastically): "...after we take a closer look at Hillary Clinton's emails."

Miss Lindsay: "We might do that."

Barr: (((evil smirk)))

Let's just get to Kamala. I'm only watching for her.

R132 I hope she rips Barr a new one.

Klobuchar is going to dissect him! Kamala will eviscerate.

Someone needs to deflate Miss Lindsey's clitoris.

You just know this fat pantload has skid marks all over his briefs.

I'm just waiting for that one wafer thin question.

That Clark Kent cutie is sitting behind Miz Lindsey again!

Love him! (Although he's a Repug)

Has he LANDED THE PLANE yet?

Tee hee make him squirm Whitehouse!

Who was the guy before Whitehouse... the stammering dope..

When were you planning to provide the House with a copy of Mueller's letter? I love Whitehouse.

Whitehouse is an excellent questioner.

[quote]Barr: what do you mean by receptive?

Graham: I got this one.

Lee (r) was before Whitehouse

For reference:

"How a legal dispute between Mueller and Barr drove the end of the special counsel’s probe"

Lunch break for an hour.

Suck-Off Break!

Thanks R145

Booker said earlier he plans to question Barr about the lack of black employees in the DOJ.

They have none in high places, Booker. Use your time to rip into Barr about lying. Show some "Jersey" in your face tactics. Learn the technique from ole Chris Christie on the other side with some "street" lingo injected for emphasis.

This is very Lesbian television! I can't look away!

How does Booker rank the importance of black employees at the DOJ compared to the matters of presidential misconduct at a hearing concerning the initial report on the misconduct?

Who is this??

Republicans will next ask Barr if he is investigating Hillary being on the Grassy Knoll on that day back in November, 1963. Nevermind Hillary was in the 8th or 9th grade then in Illinois.

Has trump tweeted his thanks to his best pals Barr & Graham?

“I think we need to take another look at Benghazi.”

R153 to start, he's a sociopath.

R107 Around the time Barr was appointed, I heard someone (maybe Bill Maher or Stephen Colbert) say that Barr looks like the offspring of a frog and John Goodman. Since then I can’t look at Barr without seeing Froggy Goodman.

Russiagate transforms you--emotionally, and spiritually.

[quote]Trump has a pee pee tape equivalent on Graham. I am convinced that Ms. Lindsay is Kompromat.

The idea that Lindsay must have been blackmailed into submission to Trump is predicated on the notion that he has a core set of principles that he would only compromise in the face of unrelenting pressure.

But it’s much, much worse – he has no principles. Not a single one.

I know this is Datalounge, but looking for hot, sexy men in that Senate hearing room is not the forum to find such. Maybe Ben Sasse is viewed as cute by some, but they are in a room with Barr, Miss Lindsey, Grassley, Lee, etc. Just ewwww!

[quote]the Republicans believe that impeaching Trump will weaken the party to the point that they'll lose the WH, the Senate and have no chance in the House (as well as all of the downticket races).

Bingo - they’re old enough to remember the damage the Nixon impeachment did to the party.

Lindsey is a classic closet case. Nothing, and I repeat NOTHING scares her more than being exposed as a queer.

[quote]Nothing, and I repeat NOTHING scares her more than being exposed as a queer.

Wrong -- losing his Senate seat is his biggest fear. Being outed -- because it would likely lead to a loss -- is just a corollary to that.

I can’t wait for Madame Senatrix’ coming out speech ala Jerry Falwell’s tearful, “I have sinned” extravaganza.

[quote]ala Jerry Falwell’s tearful, “I have sinned” extravaganza.

That was Jimmy Swaggart.

Who's the Lewandowski wannabe who has been sitting behind Barr? He's hot but looks mental.

Russians hacked Lindsey's Emails when he was running for the GOP nomination back in 2016. And then there was the dirt collector, Pecker of the NE. Also, Graham was awash in NRA and oligarch cash with ties to Russia. Kompromat and the lack of principles are not mutually exclusive. Agree r160, Graham is an opportunist with no display of honorable principles.

Amy K and Kamala coming up

It’s interesting (to me at any rate) that Barr has no notes of his conversations with Mueller, or, if he has, he hasn’t provided them to try to back up his version of events.

Keep up the updates, please! Can’t see anything at work.

Thanks! 😘

Is there a definitive answer as to whether he will testify before the House tomorrow?

Yes and no, R172.

Barr looks like Steve Bannon, slightly cleaned up.

[quote]Why would Barr allow himself to become a Trump toady, and destroy his reputation forever?

Barr covered for George H.W. Bush’s involvement in Iran-Contra 27 years ago –- ending the investigation by sanctioning Bush’s pardons of other guilty parties. His “reputation” has been invented out of whole cloth by Republican loyalists.

Fucking Foghorn Leghorn....can’t stand Kennedy.

Me either r176

Ooo miss Amy is up

Kennedy: "I hope, when you're investigating leaks at the FBI, you investigate the Mueller team as well."

Were there any leaks from the Mueller team?

C'mon AMY GRILL THAT FAT LYING fUCK

For anyone unable to watch, Seth Abramson is live tweeting.

Amy has been working with a speech coach, methinks.

She's less quavery and more assertive than usual.

Thanks , R181.

Fucking fat Barr. Hope his legacy is completely trashed

so Barr doesn't think Trump implying Cohen's family committed crimes in an attempt not to get him to testify or to lie for him again to be obstruction

I need a legal type to translate what she is aiming for , anyone have any insight? thanks in advance I’m no Elle woods.

Barr's answers remind me of that old Abbott and Costello joke Who's on First?

The Jews all plug their noses and support the Russiapublicans because they believe they will be tough on Muslims.

I love Amys quivering voice. Very honest sounding and Jimmy Stewart-ish

Barr really is acting as Trump's personal lawyer omfg

Oh fuck off r188. Get off my thread.

SASSE’s turn

Barr looks like Chief Wiggum

Sasse quit with the both sides shit. The Democrats are about getting to the truth and how Barr is lying. The repubs are the ones playing politics

i do give Sasse credit for talking about Russian interference

I'm vaccuming my house when the Republicans are up.

Look at that twitchy little twitch twitching.

Sasse is not cute! I’m enjoying his line of questioning. So far, he seems the most non-partisan.

Ben Sasse looks like he has B.O.

Hes trying way too hard to be earnest and aww shucks nonpartisan. Vom.

Sasse has presidential ambitions some day it's clear

Barr is looking at Sasse like "dude we are both Republicans you are suppose to be giving me soft ball questions"

"I love Amys quivering voice. Very honest sounding and Jimmy Stewart-ish"

But not Presidential. Sorry, Amy.

I think Amy gets too excited when she speaks and it makes her voice quiver. Obviously she's not a weak person

I can't wait for Kamala. I hope she makes him squirm so much the seat breaks under the weight of his moving obese ass

Did Sasse just say it’s the Chinese government that’s the problem? I guess he’s still a Republican.

Chris Coons is up.

Yes sasse threw China under the bus as the biggest foreign threat while kissing up to Barr.

It’s a fantasy of mine that Mueller goes all Woodward and Bernstein on the whole lot

Sasse is going to play that wishy washy game. He will run for president some day

I really hate Barr's voice

Sasse will never be president with those teeth. No way.

I love how Barr keeps saying he released the full report. Bitch, it's redacted

I think Republicans are concerned that the Chinese might attempt to influence the election against Trump exactly like the Russians helped Trump.

Thank you Coons for stating why the counter intelligence investigation started!

Good job Coons. He just slammed Chief Wiggum

Since it's apparently legal now to accept help from foreign powers, why doesn't one of these Democratic candidates put out a full-page ad seeking any and all assistance from any country who would like to help them? And then dare any Republican to say it's wrong or illegal.

One of the lesser Democratic candidates that has no chance of getting the nomination can be the sacrificial lamb.

ugh who is this asshole with the "spying" bullshit

Coons nailed it, we need more like this.

Another rethug bumlicker is up: josh hawley Mo (R)

Love that idea r216

Chris Coons kicked his ass. YESSSS! This is exactly what we needed.

R216 I hope no Democratic candidates for 2020 has even a conversation with foreign dignitaries. We all know the repubs are going to come up with a conspiracy, should a Democrat win the 2020 election and become President, that he/she was the "real colluder" and if they have control of Congress, will start an investigation mirroring the Mueller Special Counsel

Right, R206?

At first he seemed to be going in that direction (Russia), but at the last minute he pivoted to the Far East (China).

I literally shook my head and went "Wait...whuh...????

Can’t watch Hawley, spying my ass!

I knew repigs would bring up the text messages. That and their bs FISA concern is all they've got. They're really going with the "coup" angle.

this currently asshole speaking is a piece of shit

Who is this fucker talking. Lord, these repugs have no fucking shame

Thanks everyone for keeping me posted. Can't watch while working, but I'm keeping this window open.

OK Blumenthal don't let us down. Nail that fat fucker

haha Blumenthal opened "I think history will judge you harshly" YES Gawd get him!

That’s my Senator! Go get im senator blumenthal!!

Blumenthal speaks too haltingly. I like him, and he's good, but damn he gets on my nerves.

The Trump campaign and its members were meeting with Russians, were lying about their meetings and Russians had shown an interest in helping the Trump campaign, the FBI would have derelict if they hadn't investigated that. Hawley is a traitor.

YES Richard get him!

haha Blumenthal yes you tell that fat fucking liar who's boss. Interrupting him and making him wait. Arrogant fat fuck didn't like it!

"your credibility is undermined in the department and in this committee"

I am LIVING for Blumenthal right now

Barr just said he hasn't talked to the WH about the investigations...I find that hard to believe

"I don't recall"

ok tub of shit is lying again

I have such a crush on Blumenthal.

And his tone toward Barr is nothing but respectful; Barr is being an utter ass in return.

haha Blumenthal is great

You SHOULD recall

so now Barr is saying he may have spoken to them but it was nothing "substantive". Of course that is a subjective word

R236- He'll clarify it later by saying he meant he didn't talk to the WH about the investigations into Hillary's emails.

Everyone who is applauding Chris Coons-Hell Yes! he cleaned that motherfuckers clock. Fatty Barrbuckle looked like he was on the verge of tears. But I'm sure a nice double thick ham sandwich with swiss on rye with bacon will soothe his big fat ass.

Barr is as arrogant as he is fat as he is a liar

Blumenthal bringing up Helsinki hell yes I don't do geriatric but I would make an exception and offer him a bj now

Heh, R243. Fatty Barrbuckle -- love it!

Blumenthal: Will you recuse yourself from the other investigations (spun off from Mueller's report)? Barr: NO!

Barr is making John Mitchell look like George "I cannot tell a lie" Washington.

Republicans used to do whatever it took to get through to the next day.

Now they're doing whatever it takes to get through the next ten minutes.

Yeah, fat bitch, you "didn't hear the start of the question" because you were fucking BLOVIATING while the Senator was asking it.

lmfao Barr "we have to stop using the criminal justice department as a weapon" wow wow

lying piece of shit

Trump, calling from the residence during "executive time" today: "Steward, get me an eight piece extra crispy, a large mashed potato with extra gravy, a large coleslaw and six biscuits. Oh and three Diet Cokes - and step on it!"

Give the Senator back the time....fucking cunt Kavanaugh delay tactic

Kamala i hope you are ready!!! I need to see that white pig squirm

Blumenthal did well!

Barr sitting with his middle finger pressed to his forehead.. giving a fuck you.

Love Nicole Wallace.

Get ‘em Maize

Maxie Hirono is FIRE!

Mazie!!

*Mazie

Josh Hawley is closeted.

I'd love for that to be true, 262, but I've heard no evidence. Can you shed some light?

Who’s the aging twins behind a Mazie?

He’s giving me fuck me eyes

Mazie is a star. If she weren't foreign-born I'd love her as President. She's amazing

Mazie calling him a liar to his FACE YES GIRL

Oh YESSSSSSS called him out on lying!!!

Mazie bringing up his 1989 conduct. GET HIM

OMG LOVE HER

Mazie is a Hawaiian treasure. Lover her.

She is so fearless

Go Mazie. Grifter in Chief. Finally.

Barr looking all pissed off

IRAN CONTRA PARDONS!!! Yes bring out the f-ing dirt!!

You should resign

lmfao omg

Barr doesn't like her. Ha ha ha.

Mazie is a tough bitch.. in a good way!

Barr: "ah... ah... ah..." hamuna, hamuna...

Mazie is fucking amazing

Senatrice giving her "what-fer"..

Love Mazie

here goes fucking Lindsey Graham defending another fellow white man

R230, You mean Richard "Vietnam" Blumenthal?

Blumenthal giddy during Maize’s questioning

Graham interrupting and stopping Mazie. Wow what a misogynist

I have to control myself from screaming for this. About fucking time a Democrat tore some new assholes....Graham can go fuck himself after his opening statements....what fer yourself you fucking lying cunt

Finally someone kicking ass, go Mazie!

Lindsay Graham told Mazie that she's slandering Barr. HOW DARE HE.

now that disgrace Blackburn

That was breathtaking. She hit all the right notes. Miss Linds needs to take to her fainting lounge. She really set it all out in less than 5 minutes. Bravo.

Go, Maizie! And now the library is closed!

I hope MSNBC rips Lindsay a new asshole tonight though he'd probably like it

Southern "belle" questioning now... haha

Senator Hirono brought the heat!

Let's hope Harris brings it to Barr like she brought it to Sessions.

Mazie should have finished up by outing Miss Lindsey.

Marsha Blackburn is an idiot.

I'd like to see that cross on Marsha Blackburn's neck burst into flames and consume her folkiness.

Sen. Blackburn seems to be under the mistaken impression that we give a fuck about what Tennesseans think.

Loll r297

Go Booker!!!!!

Here comes Wonky Eye.

c'mon Cory cook him!

Ok booker is up

We knew all about the investigation in to Hillary while we were voting, we knew nothing about the investigation of Trump by the FBI while we were voting. If the FBI had been attempting to sway the election we would have known about the Trump investigation.

I don't have a tv. Has anyone given a white power signal yet to the deplorables in the viewing audience?

I would have loved for the TN Senator to say, "When I go to Walmart, I smell....."

Barr does not like hearing the Democrats telling him about himself lol

Bring it Corey, Barr's nervous.

Lol R294!

Booker calling him out for normalizing Trump's behavior

Barr "what do you mean by seek to benefit?"

omg he's awful

So far, Mazie is the star of this show. She sounded angry like the majority of Americans are.

Barr playing dumb when he doesn't like a question

Playing "dumb"... obvious tactic.. and old.

Barr is starting to look like William Frawley.

About 3 weeks after he died.

Barr bringing up Hillary

of course

Using that tactic only solidifies his lying ass and guilt.

so glad Booker cut him off there

I soooo want Barr to be impeached!!! I hope he brought extra depends today. Ivanka can change his nappy right after she changes fat Donnie's.

Booker bringing up Manafort sharing the polling data

"no one should be grateful"

Booker is not very sharp with his questioning. He's sloppy and not making much sense.

Cory Booker did a very good job. He was effective.

Booker was OK but he let Barr filibuster too much

Hirono was by far the best

we'll see what Harris does

Looks like Tillis and then Harris.

oh gawd that idiot Tillis from North Carolina

Catching up on the hearings now. Mahalo Mazie!

I'm totally amazed at just how stupid some of these Senators are. Between old and stupid, it's hard to find many shining lights. Hirono was take no prisoners.

Mazie stands out because she's honest which is exactly opposite of the GOP.

Tillis acting like Mueller didn't take the OLC memo about not indicting a sitting President into account. The repigs are really acting like Trump wasn't indicted because of lack of evidence

Kamala comes out swinging.

Kamala GO

Kamala now..

Barr acting like he doesn't know what she's talking about

Maybe this is a bit crackpot, but Barr leaves his hands in front of his mouth while talking. Body language. He’s a liar.

Hahaha Kamala going in for the kill

How did Kamala open?

Barr left stumbling

Death glare from Kamala. Thank you.

R335 asking if Trump directed Barr to open an investigation into anyone

This settles it. I’m voting for Kamala just to hear her against Trump in debates.

Squeeze his balls 'til he pukes, Kamala!

GET HIM!

Barr says no one in his office looked at the underlying evidence of the report

Kamala ripping him YES Love her

now Barr throwing it onto Mueller

Kamala not having it

He turned he head, he wouldn’t look at her or the camera.

GO KAMALA!!!

His, I meant

Kamala got that fat fucker haha

OH MY GOD I LOVE THIS WOMAN

SKEWERING HIM - its delightful

Kamala = Alice kicking Ralph Kramden's ass...

Kamala calling out his conflict of interest and his bias

YES she's great

now Barr throwing out Rosenstein's name lol that fat weasel is throwing everyone under the bus

he's squirming yes!

SLAM

Looking around... someone help me!!!

Yea he is. Throwing everyone under the bus

Barr "this is a flip flop"

Kamala :sir the flip flop is you're not answering the question

ahahahhaa

He may stroke out

Kamala bringing up how Rosenstein is also a witness but involved in overseeing the case

she got Barr hell yes

KAMALA questioning...... it’s a beautiful thing.

She would skewer trump in a debate!

if this doesn't help Kamala's poll numbers, the Democratic base is moronic she was great today

Mike 💩O

The guy behind Barr, to the right on the screen. Red tie. Who is he? I need to hate fuck him.

Kamala nearly gave me a stroke. She does not play.

Fucking Barr. Hope he ends up in handcuffs

THAT is why I love me some Kamala. Damn, I'd hate to be on her wrong side. Can you imagine her debating Trump?

Crapo = Mormon with a DUI. Where do they get these fools?

I also want Harris to debate trump. That was beautiful.

Kamala could make Putin look like a wimp.

So 3 of our candidates, Amy, Cory and Kamala all showed themselves today. I think Kamala beat them all handily. All were good but Kamala was by far the best

Mazie wins the day for saying what we wanted Barr to hear though lol

[quote] if this doesn't help Kamala's poll numbers, the Democratic base is moronic she was great today

A lot of people vote on how a candidate makes them feel, Kamala doesn't make a lot of people feel all warm and cozy, not everyone chooses vote for someone based on the same reasons as you might.

Btw, I haven't picked a candidate to support but I will vote and support for the Democratic Nominee.

[QUOTE]Amy, Cory and Kamala all showed themselves today

I have to quibble with including Amy in this. She was just fine. And Booker was his usual queeny mess.

The winners of the day have been Blumenthal, Hirono, and the masterful Kamala.

The absolute last thing I want is a warm and cozy president.

R374

Cruz - BOOOOOOOO.

Ewwww slimy Cruz. I hate this fucker

Bleech!!.... cruz

R373 I understand that but it's dumb. People also vote with bigotry and misogyny in mind

Ted Cruz has always looked disgusting, but Ted Cruz with a beard looks like mold on a pile of shit.

My fifth-favorite Kamala questioning moment, because there were so many:

Kamala: Sir, do you —

Barr: Blah blah blah

Kamala: I'M ASKING A QUESTION.

Barr: [instant silence]

The existence and success of Ted Cruz makes me hate Texas even more

Fuck Kavannah and his treatment. I hate Ted Cruz and hate "trying to be sincere."

Cruz is slimy... literally looks like a slimy eel.

Kamala was extremely impressive, blumenthal & Hirono were also amazing! I was happy booker didnt f-things up. Go dems! Definite damage was done to fat piece of poo Barr!

His father shot John Kennedy you know.

the republicans, the invertebrates party.

cruz trying to be dramatic... his "Jimmy Stewart" moment in one of his movies.

Trump/Pence in 2020!

WHY WHY WHY couldn't have Beto won that election and sent this piece of shit into retirement.

STFU, Ted Cruz.

Cruz thinks he’s so masterful and catching Dems in a ‘gotcha,’ but she’s just a sleazy mess.

I hate his whiny, twangy voice..

“General Barr”?? Cruz is a purposeful moron.

R393 the repubs on twitter are gleeful today and bizarrely think the "Democrats are being owned" but they always say that despite what the truth is.

Hopefully moderates and independents see this and realize how awful Barr is

This gives the House a lot of places to start for tomorrow. Imagine what Swalwell and Lieu will ask to piggyback off of today. I can't wait

Wager on whether Barr shows up tomorrow at the House Judiciary Committee.

I can’t even listen to piece of shit Cruz, tell me when it’s over.

I like Leahy but he sounds like he died 3 years ago

r162, Really? And what damage was that? Jimmy Carter was a one-term President, followed by 8 years of Reaganism (12, if one counts Bush 41) that changed America forever.

Have they asked if Mueller was shut down or told to wrap up his investigation early?

Ditto R399. WTF is wrong with his voice?

I'm out of topic but at the start of the hearing Lindsay Graham quoted all the horrible things that Storkz and Page said about Trump in their texts. I so wanted somebody to pull out all the horrible things that Lindsay Graham said about Trump. He called him some nasty names and said that Trump was the worst thing to happen to the Republican Party and if we nominate him, we deserve everything we get

Leahy bringing up campaign finance laws yes gramps!

Leahy can barely speak..

Has Senator Leahy passed away?

Leahy needs to retire. He's too old and feeble. Vermont would surely replace him with another worthy senator

omg you can barely hear him

Leahy: "You testified many times, but your testimony was not correct." LOL!

Barr doesn't think Mueller intended for the report to be handed over to Congress? huh?

He looks like he's late 80's.. close to 90. Maybe older?

Feinstein still has a clear voice. Leahy does not

"I hate his whiny, twangy voice.."

He should be a minor character on "Green Acres".

Barr just said Trump was falsely accused

WTF

Durbin back on now thankfully

Ted Cruz IS Mr. Haney!

Leahy is 89.

Go Durbin!

Yes R416.. looks and sounds just like him!

ooh Durbin bringing up the Malaysian money laundering case involving Trump

Thanks R417..

ha Durbin caught Barr with the waiver

Barr is sweating now..

Barr is one fat wiley SOB. Can’t explain his waiver request. YOU SOUGHT IT!!!

I wish Kamala could ask all the Dem questions.

OK Whitehouse what are you bringing to this. Get him

Yeah.. Whitehouse again!

Durbin pressing him like a panini - this waiver thing is going to bite him in the ass !!!

Career ethics officials!! Kamala got him shook.

Whitehouse tripping him up

Whitehouse is the best questioner up there. Not that he's the most combative, but he pins down answers on timing and materials.

Barr comes of terribly. Looks guilty as sin!

Several Democrats have asked Barr if he has had any contact with the Trump White House. They must know that he has.

Barr doesn't know if Mueller looked into Trump's finances

I like Sheldon Whitehouse too. Ex-US AG and RI AG. It shows.

Sorry, ex-US Attorney. Not AG. Though he’s make a good one.

R403, we should be seeing what Graham said next to what he read today side-by-side on the very news outlet tonight.

Excellent catch!

Yes Amy get him on the subpoena issue

so Barr will supervise the other ongoing investigations. He did not say he would recuse

[R162], Really? And what damage was that?

The Democrats took 49 House seats from the Republicans, made a net gain of four Senate seats from the Republicans and a net of four governorships three months after Nixon left office.

How could you not recall if you spoke to the WH or not?

Don’t let that get lost in all of this.

Either you spoke to them or not. And if you are trying to hide it, then they caught him red handed.

Keep at it!

so Barr called Mueller after Mueller's letter

They need to get him away from the other 12 investigations.

Immediately.

Why does it have to be him?

Now we need to hear from Mueller directly. This Barr bullshit!!!!

Someone might want to make a seperate thread about this but don’t you think Rosenstien should be called before Congress?

No way he gets to slink away.

Barr saying Mueller says Barr's summary wasn't inaccurate but the press coverage following it was...

that sounds weird

And Mueller needs to testify sooner than later. Not 2 months from now.

Anyone know who this guy is to the right of Barr, this is an older photo he is wearing an orange tie today?

I have been looking and can't ID him.

I've switched to the Champions League match but put me down as a vote for Whitehouse too. Most impressive and composed. Harris a close second. She had more of an edge to her questioning but Whitehouse is really good at keeping a neutral disposition while probing.

I want Whitehouse to be president just so we can have President Whitehouse at the White House.

Barr before the House tomorrow will be blockbuster.

I'm sure Rosenstein will be called, The whole I'm willing to wear a wire thing needs to be directly addressed with him.

It’s also contradicted by Mueller’s letter, R445.

Barr said NO he won't give the memorialized notes during his convo with Mueller to Congress

Barr is a lying fat fuck omg he needs to be in jail

Graham to the rescue.

Blumenthal: Do you ever recall a career prosecutor repudiating an attorney general in this matter?

Barr: I don't consider Bob a career prosecutor.

Way to dodge the question, Bill.

Why didn't Lindsey thank Barr for protecting the President?

Barr: "The letter (from Mueller) was a bit snitty."

Barr saying the Mueller letter was probably written by someone in his staff as a way to dismiss it

I really liked the part at the end where Mike Lee rimmed Barr.

Brian Williams: "The blood was drawn by Kamala Harris."

Rick Wilson was right: Everything Trump Touches Dies.

Including Miss Barr. He has probably lost two pounds in sweat alone today. And I'm sure his underwear is positively soaked through.

Snitty?

Wow, R458: there was a troll on one of these threads saying Mueller didn’t write the letter, but that was before the hearing started.

Barr really is an arrogant fuck.

He believes he can do what he wants without regard to protocol

Kamala just said she also believes he should resign

I don't see how Barr keeps any credibility.

Barr is a blatant liar just like Trump.

[quote]I don't see how Barr keeps any credibility.

Keeps?

Barr: If the president feels a proceeding is unfounded, "the president does not have to sit there constitutionally and allow it to run its course. The president could terminate the proceeding and it would not be a corrupt intent because he was being falsely accused."

He's the one I want to hate fuck, r447.

That’s just horrifying, R469.

[quote]That’s just horrifying, [R469].

It's the apotheosis of the imperial presidency.

Wow, R469! That is pretty friggin' scary!

Nicolle Wallace: The AG made excuses for the sitting president today that I wouldn't make for my seven-year-old son.

why are Barr's views on repub executive power so far outside the norm?

Some day, and I hope someday sooner than later all the truth about this is going to come out and these people are going to be ruined, I hope. However since we live in a world where "the truth isn't the truth" and some people believe up is down, I have my doubts.

It was such a pathetic display. Barr is being absolutely lambasted on social media.

[quote] why are Barr's views on repub executive power so far outside the norm?

Because he's a crony and an extremist and only got confirmed because everyone was freaking out at the same time about the other extremist crony (Kavananaugh)

Watch the Kamala-Barr exchanges here

[quote]why are Barr's views on repub executive power so far outside the norm?

It's his raison d'être

I actually hope Barr doesn't testify before the House tomorrow, I am hoping the house gets to hear Mueller first and then call Barr back in.

Kamala was fierce out in the Senate hallway as well. She was a star today. I'd hate to have her question me on something I did wrong.

Lindsey Graham says he won't call for Robert Mueller to testify before Congress: "I'm not going to do any more. Enough already. It's over."

How convenient for Graham and the GOP. It's over.

Hilarious. Yet Benghazi went on for two years. 8 investigations and they keep bringing it up.

GOP is shit

Lindsey is such a little cunt. She WISHES this were over.

R483: Before the Senate. Of course.

Mueller will testify before the House.

Fucking cunt Graham. He knows that Mueller would slam Barr.. obviously.

Ok... Mueller will testify before Congress.

R483 - the House will have to do the oversight function then since the GOP in the Senate have no shame, no scruples, no morals and no balls left.

[quote]why are Barr's views on repub executive power so far outside the norm?

That's why he is called call the Cover-Up Attorney General

Kamala Harris is going to be on Chris Matthews today. 4 PM Pacific time and 7 PM Eastern It will be interesting what else she may have to say.

And Hillary Clinton is going to be on Rachael Maddow tonight.

Kamala made him sweat buckets, Mazie shamed him, and Cory made him defensive. Barr has no credibility left, and the final nail in the coffin will be Mueller. Barr lied almost continuously and didn't even defend his lies well. Get him out out out!

What a servile little soldier Barr turned out to be. I guess Michael Cohen was not enough of a cautionary tale for some.

Sorry, no direct link to an article. Just the Guardian live feed.

[quote]William Barr called Robert Mueller’s letter objecting to his characterization of the Mueller report “snitty,” and refused to hand over to Congress notes on their subsequent phone conversation.

[quote] In response to questions from Senator Richard Blumenthal, Barr said he called Mueller after receiving his critical letter and they spoke for about 10 to 15 minutes.

[quote]“I said, ‘Bob, what’s with the letter? Why don’t you just pick up the phone and call me if there’s an issue?’” Barr said.

[quote]Mueller was on speaker phone and there were multiple observers in the room including Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein, according to Barr.

[quote]“He said they were concerned about the way the media was playing this and felt it was important to get out the summaries,” he said. “I asked him if he felt that my letter was misleading or inaccurate, and he said no.”

[quote]Blumenthal pointed out that nothing in Mueller’s letter complained about press coverage, but rather said that Barr’s letter did not fully capture the report’s findings and created public confusion.

[quote]“His letter was an extraordinary act. A career prosecutor rebuking the Attorney General of the United States, memorializing it in writing,” Blumenthal said.

[quote]Barr confirmed that notes were taken on the conversation, and Blumenthal asked if the committee could have them. Barr said no. “Why should you have them?” he said.

[quote]He gave his assessment of Mueller’s letter: “The letter’s a bit snitty, and I think it was probably written by one of his staff people.”

[quote]With that, the hearing has wrapped up.

[quote]Some day, and I hope someday sooner than later all the truth about this is going to come out and these people are going to be ruined, I hope.

None of these people will be ruined. The reason is, there are so many out there just like them who will offer them high paying jobs. I am certain of that.

So now Miz Lindsey refuses to call Mueller. Can’t Congress just call him anyway?

R496, the House will call him.

R479, thank you for linking the Kamala Harris questioning of Barr, I appreciate that, and it improves the thread, too.

I agree with everything you've all said about the star, Kamala, and Sheldon "Hot Daddy " Whitehouse, Leahy, and Amy, Cory, and Mazie. But y'all need to go back and check out Chris Coons because he kicked Barr's ass pretty good today.

Anyone who is puzzled about why more Republican Senators don't rebel and pressure Mitch McConnell only needs to watch these hearings. They are dumb. Stupid. Ignorant. They have enormous egos, and they can be bought. It is all so obvious. They get their marching orders and they follow them. And Ben Sasse? That little shit is worse than Rubio with his doublespeak.

[quote] They are dumb. Stupid. Ignorant.

I hate to say it, but there is something so cunning about these people that they manage to get their way. I don't know what it is that they do, it could be just because they act as a pack the way animals do, but Democrats can't stop them or hurt them. And trump can smell a pack and knows how to lead a pack.

MAGA! 🤠

This thread has been fantastic today, when post after post articulate the same thoughts and feelings I have sitting alone watching this on the Telly......Thank you to all, please keep it up, ha ha.

Sen. Coons hit it out of the ballpark.

Seven minutes. Each senator gets only seven minutes to question this weasel.

That right there is something that needs changing, particularly when he filibusters his way through questioning.

[quote]That right there is something that needs changing, particularly when he filibusters his way through questioning.

True. You can see thorough his tactic of mumbling and appearing confused and asking for questions to be repeated and clarified. It's a clear stalling tactic.

No shame. No shame.

There should be an immediate penalty for witnesses who fillibuster. Perhaps an extra ten minutes of questioning by the senator who is being hijacked.

Is Trump having a twitter meltdown yet? Preceded, of course, by the obligatory tweet about how his very loyal servant Barr completely trounced the dishonest Dems.

Klobuchar's hair coloring is nice. Complements her face.

Would anyone consider linking a video of the questioning by some of the heavy-hitter Dems?

I can't, I'm at work.

Thanks r479 and r504

Bob Mueller acted like a coward and he has caused a world of trouble because he would not stand up against evil. He did not have a backbone when he just handed over that report to Barr. A brave man would have sat down with NBC and CNN. Sent the report to congress and the papers.

Trump breaks every protocol and gets a way with it...Mueller was working for the people.

Maize was fabulous today...Mueller should grow a pair.

I love you, r511. I feel the same way. He also could have been more direct in his wording.

All the Repugs are snitty. And many Dems are spineless.

Wonder how history will view Mueller?

I see the demoralization trolls have found this thread.

R501.. The repugs stick together. They pretty much watch each others' backs. I wish Democrats did that more.

Mueller did his job. He was limited by the rules governing the Special Counsel. His job was to investigate Russian interference in the 2016 election and whether the Trump campaign was part of the Russian interference. And any related matters. He also discovered criminal wrong doing which he spun off to other jurisdictions. He was directed under the rules governing his mandate, to write up a report and give it to the Attorney General. The AG then had the discretion to decide whether or not to make it public at his own discretion. IMO the law was poorly written and we can now see the flaws.

Where I feel frustrated is that Mueller was not permitted to charge the President with a crime. He was limited by the policy at DoJ not to indict a sitting POTUS. And remember. Rosenstein and Barr were the guard dogs. Mueller was never going to be permitted to make his report public and he was never going to be permitted to charge the President. And, IMO, I'm convinced he was probably pressured by Barr to "wrap it up. I want a final report within the next 30 days." Betcha.

One day we will find out that Mueller was blocked a lot more than we realize, and he still came up with guilty pleas, indictments, and convictions. BTW: I loved the questions Barr got about Oleg Derapaska and Goldman Sachs, etc. They probably shocked the shit out of him. Bet he went bac to his office to puke.

It was rich that that Billy "Candy" Barr couldn't even look at Kamala. You just know how it put his knickers in a twist that not only a WOMAN was questioning him, but a WOMAN OF COLOR was questioning him. He'll be wrapping himself in his white robes, and sucking his thumb as he tries to sleep tonight.

[quote]One day we will find out that Mueller was blocked a lot more than we realize,

Among biggest of blocks being trump's refusal to testify.

[quote]Bet he went bac to his office to puke.

[quote]He'll be wrapping himself in his white robes, and sucking his thumb as he tries to sleep tonight.

That would mean that Barr is capable of shame, remorse, guilt, self-criticism... he is not. He knows his pack of Repubs will cover his back.

R363, I want to see Kamala eviscerate Trump in a debate. She rocked it today.

Mueller may or may not have been constrained in his investigation, but he sure as hell could have been more direct in writing his report. His being obtuse os part of why we are here.

Except he didn't^

So, latest word is that Barr refuses to testify before the House and won't release the full report: What do you think Nancy & Steny's next move is?

Dig in, r525. If they want to do their jobs and have a sweet spot in history, they dig in.

I agree with you r517. I think there's more than a chance that Mueller has been constrained by his bosses. His farming out of evidence to the SDNY is a screaming example.

A compromised prosecutor wouldn't do that.

Quit your job, Mueller, and come testify on the Hill. Your career will take off, light years beyond where it's been.

My prediction is that this fat f*ck keels over on his reinforced stained toilet bowl tonight after his steak and potatoes.

Kamala for President

She was awesome just now on Chris Mathews.

I think we all want to see Kamala Harris v Donald J. Trump in the 3 or 4 Presidential debates.

Trump must be SHITTING HIMSELF. AGAIN.

R530 Agreed.

R531, What makes anyone think that Trump will even participate in any Presidential debate? I bet that's something else he won't do.

[quote]I hate to say it, but there is something so cunning about these people that they manage to get their way. I don't know what it is that they do...

It's not cunning. It's the fact of being completely criminal, corrupt, and amoral that allows them to get away with things. They are like El Chapo. Do anything they want, whenever they want without consequence. Look where he is now. That's their future.

How many times did you shart in your yuge boxers today?

What R533 said.

By the way. Thanks for the thread OP and the thread title worthy of DL.

Barr was a delicious disaster today!

How is Fox covering this? I mean, how the fuck to you spin this traitorous disaster that comes with pictures AND sound?

Fox News Headline:

Barr who? What's a Senate? We no speak-a English.

He was R537. My rep is on the judiciary committee. For what it's worth, I called her office and told them I support subpoenas and impeachment.

[quote]How is Fox covering this?

I'm guessing they're saying Barr owned the libs. Meaning, the usual.

But, really, R540, are they just not going to show any of it at all because there's nothing that makes Barr look good in a spinnable way? Usually there's one clip they just show over and over. I can't imagine what they'd use from this shitfest. It would be hilarious if they just choppily spliced a bunch of moments together like they do on the late night shows.

R537, Delicious if you mean the salted sweatiness of deer tears before a speeding Pontiac ends it all, There's a Hallmark for that.

[quote] Kamala was fierce out in the Senate hallway as well. She was a star today. I'd hate to have her question me on something I did wrong.

She is the most prodigious wig-snatcher in the Senate. She makes the old white dudes sweat and fidget and they want to curse her out because she is a woman of color. We need a no-bullshit, straight shooter like Harris in the White House.

R542 you little shit! You just made me laugh so hard I peed on myself.....

...and she has a beautiful smile, R5433. I love it when the person she's questioning starts fumbling and stuttering and she says, OK. We'll move on.... and you know she has NOT moved on. She will be back fo yo ass.

Today’s testimony clinches the deal for me - I am voting for any Dem Prosecutor/Law Professor 2020. Harris/Klobuchar/Warren.

My wish is that someone on these panels, not limited to but including this one, would stop entertaining these obfuscating, know-nothing responses, and straight up ask

”You make $200,000 per year, are responsible to taxpayers for your salary, privilege, and power, yet you claim to KNOW NOTHING. What the fuck qualifies you for this job? How are you not a complete fraud? You claim to not understand simple questions, get befuddled by common words like “suggest,” and can’t remember whether significant events happened or not. What is it you do that justifies your salary and job title? What is it, exactly, that you DO all day?”

Well said, R547.

Dang! Ol' Kamala giving auntie Maxine a run for the wig snatching title!

Oddly enoug the Fox News webites Is pretty balanced.

This is one of the articles on today...

Nadler slams Barr's decision to skip House hearing, threatens contempt citation: 'He is terrified'

Chris Wallace also slammed the "opinion" side of Fox.

There seems to be an effort of late at Fox to move to the center.

Why hasn't some liberal multi-billionaire bought Fox News yet? Why don't both Bezos, and Soros, and Gates, and Buffett get together and save our fucking Democracy by offering them more money than they can refuse? There would be a rider that the people receiving the money can never create another network, ever. They'd transition the programming slowly over a month or two and all the Fox dolts would suddenly turn into liberals because Fox News told them to and they are just that stupid.

One America seems to be the new Fox, r551. Scary shit

People like Barr have one goal in mind...to get rid of our democracy. Every person in Trumps cabinet have one thing in mind...a country run by olagarks. They believe it would be a perfect white utopia. I believe they will get what they want, with the help of Republicans on the hill.

Fox will never change, unless people stop watching.

[quote]olagarks

FYI, it's oligarchs.

[quote]He [Barr] gave his assessment of Mueller’s letter: “The letter’s a bit snitty, and I think it was probably written by one of his staff people.”

Condescending, and giving Mueller an out at the same time. As if Mueller would send so important a letter - deep with further implications - without believing every single word.

Great though that the letter got under Barr's skin - and those resonant implications will remain out there, fuelling further scrutiny and pressure.

I don't even want to give attention to the bullshit line about Mueller not writing it but, who gives a fuck? Did you all see the actual letter? It's signed "Sincerely, Robert S. Mueller". It could be written in crayon by a four year old and say "Bar, u suk" and if Mueller put his goddamn signature on it, he owns it. End of fucking story. So sick of the Repug horseshit.

The WP tries to goad Mueller into testifying or at least speak publicly:

Mueller’s reverence for the rule of law and rigid adherence to protocol have bolstered the credibility of the Russia report, which was released with redactions to the public last month. But the special counsel’s deference to procedure and bureaucratic authority has also enabled Trump and his allies to dominate the debate over the investigation’s results.

Finally a BARR more disgusting than Roseanne.

LoL R559! I especially love when Ms Kamala inches further up to the mic, arms folded and head cocked. You just know it is coming! Even Cory Booker was smirking.

[quote]Why hasn't some liberal multi-billionaire bought Fox News yet? Why don't both Bezos, and Soros, and Gates, and Buffett get together and save our fucking Democracy by offering them more money than they can refuse?

Another Fox would spring up in its place, almost immediately. Fox is a huge cash cow -- much bigger than CNN and MSNBC combined. There's a lot of money to be made in keeping old white people scared and anxious.

Yes Fox is the national “cluck, cluck” - If it Bleeds it Leads - 10 o’clock “News.”

The Dems need to hammer home, repeatedly, insistently, that Barr is a big cowardly lion by refusing to "visit" the House for questioning.

Loved the Mazie Hirono realness.

They should have laughed at and ridiculed Barr for his LEGAL FICTION in r469. I mean, RIDICULED!!

"US ATTORNEY GENERAL BARR, or should I call you, TRUMP PERSONAL ATTORNEY BARR, are you SERIOUSLY telling this Committee that Presidents Nixon and Clinton could have LEGALLY SHUT DOWN the Watergate and Starr Investigations, respectively, because the presidents thought the investigations were [SAID IN A MOCKING CHILD-LIKE VOICE] "UNFAAAIIIRRR?!"

"Will you look Sen. Graham in the eye right now and tell him that President William Jefferson Clinton could have LEGALLY stopped Ken Starr from investigating the Lewinsky Matter, because he, Pres. Clinton, thought the investigation was UNFAAAIIIRRR?!"

"Or are you sitting in front of a co-equal branch of the Federal Government right now and claiming this FICTIONAL dictatorial privilege is ONLY FOR PRESIDENT TRUMP?"

"And anyway, how can you even claim such a FICTIONAL dictatorial privilege, based on the non-existent "right" of Trump to shut down an investigation into himself because 'he knows the accusations are false,' pertains---IF YOU AND MUELLER AND WE DO NOT KNOW SUCH, BECAUSE THE MUELLER INVESTIGATION WAS SHUT DOWN PREMATURELY?"

"Do you not know, US ATTORNEY GENERAL BARR, do you NOT KNOW that the FICTIONAL LEGAL AND DICTATORIAL PRIVILEGE you are claiming belongs to Donald Trump---is the VERY DEFINITION OF "OBSTRUCTION of JUSTICE?!"

"I'M DONE. I sit in contempt of this liar and quisling."

On one hand, Maizie technically wasn't pursuing legal questioning of Barr.

On the other hand legal questioning of this fat fuck proved to be completely pointless. Watching her repeatedly kick Barr in the nuts instead was thoroughly satisfying.

USA Today: Donald Trump criticizes Democrats' treatment of William Barr, praises AG's 'fantastic' performance

[quote]The Dems need to hammer home, repeatedly, insistently, that Barr is a big cowardly lion by refusing to "visit" the House for questioning.

Along with the fact that Hillary stood up to eleven hours from the Benghazi Committee, and they didn't lay a glove on her. (To quote fake tough-guy Trump.)

Love to see these fat smug ugly old crooks face such an interrogation. Recall how flustered and petulant Mnuchin became under pressure from Maxine. After about fifteen minutes!

He's praising Barr today, but a week of steady ridicule will make Trump turn on his AG.

Five Thirty Eight's Perry Bacon Jr.:

Pelosi notes that one of the articles of impeachment against Nixon was not cooperating with congressional investigations. She also uses the word “lied” to describe Barr’s testimony. Some other Dems had avoided that word.

Pelosi once called trump a freak. I think she does hate him. Pelosi, lieu, Schiff, Nadler are good people, and I want to believe in their leadership.

Bill Barr has a massive gunt.

I'm watching the hearing to try to understand liberal rage.

Does anyone find Barr kind of hot? Or at least hot-adjacent?

R573 = a blocked troll

Is there a name for the R575's of the world? The type that aren't content just to block someone but have to announce it? And if you blocked me how did you see my post anyway?

Is there a name for the R576's of the world? Oh, that's right. Deplorables.

It sounds like they had the poster blocked already. Then they saw there was a gap in the "R" replies. So they unblocked, did a search on that person's post history, and then announced to DL that it was a poster they had previously blocked.

I don't believe the supposed friendship between Barr and Mueller (and their wives). Isn't it only Barr who's ever said that?

Are you stupid R573? Obviously, he read your post and blocked after that and rightly so. You’re a troll.

Off to banned camp for you from me too. Why waste my beautiful mind on your silly, false garbage?

R578 My, what a lot of work. Of course, living off hi mother's meagre social security check while she eats cat food must give R575 lots of time for trolli-- ah, research.

R580 Glad your mind is beautiful, cuz I bet you aint getting shit in any other department. You and R57whatever can grind your beautiful FF-block-lookatme minds together all you want.

Why are there so many posters here supporting a rather obvious troll that tuned in to watch "liberal" tears? You're either trolls yourselves or the original cunt posting from different platforms.

And R582 is blocked for being an illiterate idiot.

Rep. Cohen should have chowed down on KFC at the Javitz Center on election night 2016 when Hillary was too chicken-shit to concede in front of her loyal supporters.

^^^Gurl?

R585. You sickening fool. Hillary knew — like many others of us did — that the Kremlin had vote-switched in Florida, Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Ohio.

Oh, and fuck you, you ill-smelling troglodyte pus.

Attorney General Barr’s decision to mislead the public in his testimony to Congress was not a technicality — it was a crime.

I believe that slow and steady wins the race and that the good guys will win. Yes, I want Trump and all of his criminal enablers carted off to jail right this very minute, but I still believe that Nancy and Nadler respect and want to preserve our rule of law and that they will prevail.

R587 thinks the Kremlin switched the crowds of 20,000 or more that turned everywhere Trump spoke on the campaign trail with the cr owds of two or three hundred people who turned up to hear Hillary - when she deigned to visit flyover country, that is.

Chicken Barr working the pole for Trump.

R590. What the mueller report makes clear, and what our intelligence community makes clear, is that Russia interfered in the 2016 election. We know Florida was flipped in at least one district in 2018. To say this is Clinton, is an inability to understand why the republicans are refusing to be transparent. The 2016 election was tampered with, and the senate judiciary committee meeting yesterday made it clear the Russians will rat fuck us in 2020. And the Republicans are ok with it.

These trolls are going to say until the day they die that Russia didn't do anything, it was all Hillary's fault because she didn't kiss every cow in Wisconsin. You can't reason with people like them.

Still waiting for Dump to PUBLICALLY denounce the proven Russher interference in our election.

*crickets*

With all due..we do not know if a district flipped in Florida. We know there was fishing scam that gained some kind access to the system. We don't officially know anything else. Not being a troll but lets not become conspiracy theorists. Let's wait until we have all the facts. If you have those facts then please enlighten.

Your Dear Leader still lost the popular vote.

And in case you are not through and through deplorable, thank you for the Supreme Court. You are the lowest of the low, in my view.

R580 has arrived. Cue the drama.

We Vote totals were flipped in Florida R595. M

How do you hack decentralized paper ballot systems?

[quote][bold]I don't get it. From what I understand there's no law that a president must show tax returns?[/bold]

[quote]Well some people like Rachel --and the guy who calls everyone "Boris" --never gave up hope.

[quote][bold]Should there be consequences for those who've been ginning up this anti-Russian hysteria for years now, when it proves to be a nothing burger?[/bold]

[quote]There should be [R192]. I think Maddow will pay dearly for her role in this.

[quote]But [R302] outside of a couple coastal bubbles I don't think most Americans care about this. And at the end of the day it's all about the will of the American people.

[quote]I feel bad for Mueller, having to become the patron saint of wackos like Maddow for so long. I'm sure he never wanted any of this.

[quote]I hate to add more bad news, but it sounds like the SPLC is in MAJOR trouble. Given that so many liberals tithe to SPLC this cannot be good optics.

[quote]This report should be Rachel's "Geraldo moment" where the vault is opened and nothing is inside. She's spent years pimping this out instead of doing real journalism. Those tears were for herself and her career.

[quote]She has a lot to answer for [R508]. Sadly her viewers seem seem to crave the pablum she spoons out.

Even if Hillary actually won Florida, she still wouldn’t have enough electoral votes to win the presidency. If Russia successfully changed votes in another’s swing state that went for Trump, however...
