Per Rep. Nadler
And now a surprise gift! AG will not testify before House Committee.
So here we are.
The House is Feckless against the unitary executive - powerless to do anything. Unable to perform even rudimentary constitutionally-mandated oversight.
Strongly-worded letters mean nothing. Contempt of Congress means nothing.
Impeachment proceedings must begin NOW!

We are fighting for the soul of our republic against an insurgent army of ideologues, monied interests and an immoral crime syndicate run by a con man. A Cult, if you will.

(4,575 posts)Hmm... do you think Congress and others in the government wish to retain our democracy or abdicate to a bunch of fascists? Today, my money, my bet would be on the former. Someone leaked that letter. There are still patriots in place willing to steer the ship. As little as a week ago I had lost faith.

Seemed to go very sideways for Barr in the last 24 hours. At times during his testimony he seemed flummoxed and audibly stammered. He'd make for a terrible poker player judging by his body language alone. He wilted under Kamala Harris's 30 minutes of direct questioning and several hours of that would leave him a crumpled heap. It is clear as day he is lying and obstructing. He is also dirty AF and I wonder what was given/promised to him in the twilight of his career in order to subject himself to this.
Since I'm gazing into my crystal ball I'll go ahead and say I think Lindsey Graham is going to "retire" in the next couple of years. Some of these people are going to have one hell of a time distancing or better outrunning this debacle. They'll be lucky not to go to prison.

(7,272 posts)I get it if you are upset, but disparaging the house which is controlled by Democrats is a bit too far.

Congress has brought a knife to a gunfight. Full stop.

(6,247 posts)Congress has very little power under a unitary, court-stacking executive branch with full cover from the Senate.
Weve crossed the Rubicon of truth and norms. That is NOT disparaging Democrats.
What we need are a few repuke senators to remove their souls from rumps gullet, and enjoin the Democrats in holding criminals and their enablers responsible for the near-destruction of our government.
you are not the first person in the history of the world to call a fight before its over.
