I’m a realist. And a cynic. I believe that the office of attorney general has ALWAYS been politicized. And today is no different, but that doesn’t mean that Barr is wrong.

What makes me laugh, is the attempt by left wing news sources to try to convince us that all this stuff that has been going on forever, is new, under THIS president.

Where did he say that?

Barr is wrong.

He's the attorney general.

His job is to defend the rule of law, not undermine it.

He didn't show anything other than that he is an obfuscating tool.

Give me a break - if you've read any parts of the report with an open mind, you'd clearly see what he has been doing.

I can't even understand what this first sentence means.

Many of them are, but
1)it's disturbing that people are okay with that. Not even self aggrandizement, some are just stupid. How many people do you interact with in your daily life that tell you thousands of lies over a 2 year period? You'd stop talking to them right? I dated someone once that started lying about really stupid things that were utterly pointless and easily verifiable. That obviously didn't last.

2) Many of them are not just silly lies of self aggrandizement.

-He said windmill noise causes cancer. It might sound silly but 1)not self aggrandizement 2) a bunch of morons take his word for it and have no concern for climate change as a result

-Opioid bill: https://www.politifact.com/truth-o-m...get-much-demo/

-Preexisting conditions: https://www.politifact.com/truth-o-m...democrats-pre/

-Whether or not Russia interfered in the election: https://www.politifact.com/truth-o-m...-russian-medd/

I mean, I could just give you the link to Politifact. You can spend days there, and perhaps by the end, maybe you'll think, "hey I lean a little bit right, but it would be great if we can get a more honest Republican in charge."

If you want my viewpoint. I am not of the impression that Democrats or Republicans are honest about everything. They're politicians. But what I do is when I learn new information, I process it, rationalize it and see if it makes sense from an objective standpoint. I cross reference it against other sources and data. Very little of what Donald Trump makes sense, is honest, is backed by data, or shows an ounce of integrity, so why is he in charge of a country of more than 300 million people?

mueller and his team messed up and now you want to blame Barr? LMAO!

Mueller and his staff didn’t like the media coverage so they went crying to Barr and Barr released the whole 400 page report and Democrats still crying foul.

Again, Mueller didn’t mention the media in his letter. He took issue with Barr’s selective summary made up of quotes taken out of context to make it appear to say something it did not. People need to stop pretending that the letter isn’t there for all of us to read. Telling us it says one thing when it plainly says another won’t convince anyone who read the letter it says something other than what it actually says. It just ruins your credibility.
