requires him to do.

and not in some hotel...................but a jail..............

He isn't above the rule of law any more than trump is, and once he's allowed to ignore the rule of law , he cannot in any way be an acting AG , and should be impeached. The same should apply to any President, even an illegitimate one like trump is. Barr may have an awaking soon if this continues, and I already think he's going to regret many of his actions, and end up in prison. Just a matter of time for Barr and trump before they are held fully accountable.

Fuck em, we need the real Mueller report, not the Barr report. I sure hope Mueller will tell the truth when he testifies. If he repeats Barr's no collusion lie, IMHO no impeachment.

I must say I'm getting worried.

Go figure.

that's the only major difference, the only unique advantage they have - the ability to repeat lies all day long to 50 mil a week with no direct challenge or correction.

the reason trump played golf with and paraded limbaugh the day after the mueller report was to send a message to any republicans thinking about cooperating with democrats

trump and his cloud of orange assholes feel that buzz - 2 years of unchallenged limbaugh/russian bullshit about obama clinton soros leading a 'deep state' coup, and until the left and dems stop ignoring talk radio they're always going to feel enabled to do anything they want.

when americans start protest and boycott rw radio into the true demand for the lies and hate - a few hundred stations in the swamps - fox will fall apart, republican pols will drop trump, dems will win 'every' election, and the GOP will have to rebuild

different ideas. But today, the GOP has descended into just being a bunch of ignorant and hateful assholes fueled by racism, bigotry, religious crackpots, distortions and endless lies.

being totally lawless and obstructionist.

If our leadership caves to his demands.

I hope not.

They set deadlines weeks away and never intend to keep them. At least we wouldn't have to wait to hear no's and the Peoples business would go quicker. This is ridiculous.

for contempt of Congress

we wouldn't need lawyers to ask questions of Barr.

The last Senate hearing I saw was pretty lame. Democrats other than Chris van Hollen didn't come prepared.

He is objecting to the House hearing, not the Senate since that hearing will be chaired by Lindsey Graham.

If he is allowed to set the agenda. If he refuses to testify over terms then hold him in Contempt of Congress and let him wear orange.

nt

Nadler should unveil the Budget-omatic: a tote board that counts down in $50k intervals.

Every time Barr lies, deflects, stonewalls, prevericates, filibusters, or in any other manner fails to provide a satisfactory answer, the buzzer goes off and Barr's Department loses another chunk of cash from next year's budget.

(Even better if they can take it away from Barr personally)

DoJ has probably already submitted its proposed FY20, 21, 22 year budgets. The Judiciary committee could just have a big board and start zeroing out line items each time Barr lies, disembles or tries to run out the 5 minute clock.

He may think he can handle politicians who haven't practiced law recently, but a professional will phrase the questions so it becomes clear he's lying. Plus the "no-one gets to discuss the redacted stuff" thing, by demanding it's all in open session..

It's so very stupid.

Who is "committee counsel" for House Judiciary?

then the next round, questioning will be handled by majority and minority counsels in alternating 5 min increments in 30 minute segments.

A Congressional subpoena loses standing when member's term is up. Then a new subpoena needs to be created.

Their hope is to foil this committee, stymie any old or new Dems coming in for the next Congress because of the time this re-creation will take, but most of all--they hope to replace with Repugs and shut this down altogether.

Do I have this right?

The trouble we're in is serious as hell.

years. I mean issue subpoenas and then file Orders To Show Cause why those who ignore subpoenas shouldn’t be held in contempt. Lawyers do it all the time in cases.

AG Barr is OUR attorney.

If subpoenaed, he is obligated to appear and speak to the American people. Throw his ass in jail too if need be. This is Trump's doing.

Don't like the kind of questions being asked? We do not like being lied to, Barr!

It will expose his coverup.

Let's get them all jailed for failure to comply with the Constitution's 'format' of 3 branches of government.

Drag it into the chamber, plop it in a chair, and turn on the klieg lights!

"Vee haff VAYS of makin you talk....!"

it possible an entire political party of reprehensible DEPLORABLES could take over our government . In my opinion we are in totally unchartered territory.

Hillary did eleven hours of Congressional testimony.

Mueller to testify. I would bet the farm on that.

and if the sob still doesnt show, send the capital Police and drag his ass down in handcuffs...geezus i wish the dems would grow a pair...

Democratic President needs to turn loose the FBI and the DOJ on them as well as on their cronies in the Senate and House as its time this country had a major house cleaning.
