This ethically bereft man has to go. WTF is wrong with this guy? He's been in the Justice Dept. his entire life. He clearly doesn't believe in his oath of office.
Wrong.

He's spent about 10 years working for the government, 14 years at GTE/Verizon, and 17 years in private practice at two D.C. law firms.

Strongly agree here. Mr. Barr's history of stonewalling is crystal clear. His confirmation by the Republican-controlled Senate based on his history is stunning, they are, in one word, complicit. These 'so-called representatives' continue to act on behalf of Mr. Trump, not on behalf of the American people.

It's stunningly clear his record of stonewalling is the reason why he was picked as attorney general. He was selected, as you've testified above, not to act to protect, serve, & defend the American people & the Constitution but to act as Mr. Trump's personal 'stonewaller'.

More on his record of stonewalling here:

Quote:
... Barr, in fact, has a history of stonewalling and helping presidents avoid the consequences of investigations. The last time Barr served as attorney general, during the Iran-Contra investigation, the late New York Times columnist William Safire referred to him as the “Cover Up General” because he rejected calls to appoint an independent counsel that could have ensnared many members of the Reagan administration, including himself.

Barr finally relented when members of Congress considered impeaching him, and appointed Lawrence Walsh as special counsel, allowing Barr to oversee Walsh even though he was under scrutiny in the investigation. It was also reported that Barr then considered firing Walsh for “misconduct,” believing his investigation cost Bush re-election.

After the 1992 election, Barr then proceeded to help President George H.W. Bush grant pardons to six figures in the Iran-Contra case, including former Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger as he was about to go on trial to face charges about lying to Congress. That action undercut the Iran-Contra investigation and Special Counsel Walsh. When the pardons were announced Walsh said, "It demonstrates that powerful people with powerful allies can commit serious crimes in high office, deliberately abusing the public trust without consequences". ...
Congress can’t do its job if the full Mueller Report isn’t provided. Anything less than that is the Trump-Barr Stonewall Report, not the Mueller Report.

Trump and Barr are stonewalling on the Mueller investigation -- just like Nixon on Watergate

It's official. As we suspected, Barr is not an honorable man, just another Trump stooge.

Add William Barr to the list of people history will not be kind to when books are written about this awful administration.

James Clapper admitted on "The View" there was Spying going on. He said it was justified due to the Russians.

We know there was spying. As Barr said, he needs to determine if it was legal or not against the Trump Campaign.

Clapper admits to Spying on The View and that Trump should be happy about it.
Barr's job now is to determine if they used unauthorized surveillance on the Trump Campaign.

We know Clapper has lied to Congress in the past. Would he use his powers to spy on a Presidential Campaign ?

Former Director of National Intelligence (DNI) James Clapper used the word spy while discussing the Trump campaign surveillance scandal in an appearance on Tuesday's The View. Clapper said the spy was there for Russian meddling purposes and that Trump should be happy such a person existed.

Just curious, why do you disagree with the statement: "We don’t publicly disparage people we don’t charge with wrongdoing."


Are you saying that you would still degrade people, because you don't like them, even though no charges have been brought forward? Kinda sad if that's the way you are....


And the FBI did spy......
