1. Just when you thought the Barr couldn't be any lower.

[AZ8theist]

22. Barr belongs in prison

John Mitchell went to jail for far less.

Our democracy is just about lost...

[unitedwethrive]

2. Anyone surprised?

I hope Barr ends up behind Bars!

[triron]

4. Not me. I think I have him pegged.

Needs to share a cell with Trump.

[blaze]

3. And the FEC is nonfunctional right now, right? nt

[triron]

5. Gee I wonder why.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

24. Exactly. Not enough people to vote until trump appoints?

You have to have three. Coincidence? I think not. This just gets worse and worse every day.

Kudos to Steve Cohen D-TN and others who drafted articles articles of impeachment in 2017!

[Golden Raisin]

28. Ellen Weintraub, FEC Chair has been

speaking out in anti-Trump mode via Twitter and publicly. She's trying.

[dewsgirl]

6. I am shocked.😲

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Barr belongs behind bars.

[Maeve]

[Laura PourMeADrink]

25. FUBARR

8. Let this sink in for a moment.

The DOJ of these United States...

New evidence indicates DOJ coverup.

UnF**King believable. The CHIEF JUSTICE OF THE UNITED STATES is covering up crimes for the PRESIDENT OF OUR UNITED STATES.

[triron]

12. Bet Rachel hits on this.

[sheshe2]

14. I hope she does.

We need to end this.

[blm]

13. Sounds familiar. It's the Republican Way.

[sheshe2]

17. Sadly it is.

I want the Repukes brought to light and then want them all destroyed.

[Moosepoop]

32. For a minute there I thought you meant John Roberts...

"Chief Justice of the United States" denotes the Supreme Court Chief Justice. I couldn't figure out how he was involved in the coverup -- then I realized you meant Barr. Agreed, the Attorney General of the United States is covering up crimes for the President of our United States (although I hate referring to him as our President!). And it has to end!!!

[sheshe2]

33. I call the ass donnie or trump.

I will not capitalize his name. He does not deserve the honor or respect.

Thanks, Moose.

[triron]

35. Deserves Hell.

[napi21]

10. No surprise! We all have known this AG was DT's flunky since he was sworn in.

I have to admit I was surprised when he was chosen because he was old enough to retire and had a fairly good reputation as his legacy. I never thought he would scrap all that to become an a** kisser and for sure that's what he would be remembered for.

34. Ah, memories...

Bill Barr: The “Cover-Up General” The Village Voice | OCT 27, 1992 [eta reprinted online APR 18, 2019]

...But as Bush launched his presidential bid in 1988, Barr joined the campaign team and, among oth­er things, helped fend off attacks on Dan Quayle’s character. His loyalty was quickly repaid. In late 1988, Barr became the first assistant attorney general to be installed in the wake of the election.

He also began flexing his ideology in pub­lic. During a congressional hearing at the time he boldly acknowledged having “doubts” about the constitutionality of the independent counsel statutes because of what he saw as their limiting effect on pres­idential power.

For the next two years, as chief of the Justice Department’s Office of Legal Coun­sel, Barr played a key role in shaping Rich­ard Thornburgh’s stormy tenure as attorney general. In a job that was essentially politi­cal, he helped maintain the administra­tion’s ideological purity by screening out judicial candidates who weren’t conserva­tive enough. He also drafted two key docu­ments rationalizing the U.S. invasion of Panama and the seizure of General Manuel Noriega.

If Barr had made no other contribution to the imperial pretensions of George Bush, these documents would nevertheless qualify him for hero status in the Republican pan­theon. The first “opinion,” written in June 1989, recognized the president’s right to dispatch FBI agents abroad to arrest for­eigners even in violation of international treaties. The second document, issued the following December as American forces geared up to invade Panama, gave a patina of legality to the president’s desire to use the military in similar takedown opera­tions. Together, the two memos enshrine what has come to be known as the presi­dent’s “snatch authority.”

In an inevitable seignorial flourish, the administration refused to release the com­plete contents of these documents, even to Congress. But over the years, enough of their flavor has seeped into the press to take one’s breath away. Writing in the June memo, Barr argued that both the president and, through him, the attorney general have an “inherent constitutional power” to au­thorize certain overseas operations, includ­ing abductions, to fend off “serious threats” to U.S. domestic “security” from “international terrorist groups and narcot­ics traffickers.” Such actions, he said, are mandated by the Constitution and domes­tic law and can be undertaken even in the face of objections from a foreign govern­ment or provisions of the UN Charter bar­ring the use of force against member nations.

Emphasis mine. No wonder Barr sees no problem in personally running around overseas doing whatever it is he's doing. There's more covered in the article - BCCI, Inslaw (PROMIS) and Iraqgate. It's been a while since the Bush I era. So much has happened since, it's been less on the mind of the general public, especially since the overall quality of media coverage has steadily deteriorated since then.

The man is a menace.

[GoCubsGo]

11. I'm sure that's just the tip of the ice berg with that asshole.

I'm sure he's been obstructing justice and covering things up on an hourly basis since he got that job.

[uponit7771]

15. K&R, "Low" Barr is signing his impeachment letter. This is some crap here

[NCLefty]

16. He's "landing the plane" again.

Who investigates the investigators?

[Hermit-The-Prog]

18. Barr's Dirt Services -- If we can't dig it up or make it up, we'll bury it.

[ffr]

19. ENOUGH!

Impeach.
Convict.
Imprison.
Throw away the freakin keys!!!!

[BadgerMom]

20. How can he be removed?

[Ford_Prefect]

21. Sounds like another impeachable offense...A very low Barr indeed.

[JCMach1]

23. Why Trump has not appointed anyone to FEC

Basically sidelining them

36. Ouch. Good catch. nt

[Brother Buzz]

26. A month ago this story would have been dismissed as 'sour grapes'

The timing is perfect now, and the story WILL gain traction.

[meow2u3]

27. Bill belongs behind Barrs

as well as dis-Barred.

Lock him up!!

[Kablooie]

29. Ladies and Gentleman, may I present -- Mr. Aiding and Abetting, himself.

[dlk]

30. When Nancy Pelosi said it was a cover up...

She knew it was a bombshell.

[KPN]

31. Barr needs to follow the path blazed by John Mitchell.

Lock this fucker up and throw away the keys.

[Kid Berwyn]

37. Barr deep-sixed every criminal referral re Ukraine.

Whistle blowers, ambassadors, IGs —ALL reported wrongdoing that Barr Just Us had no problem with.
