Is it true? Barr's appointment with Congress is SEVEN WEEKS IN THE FUTURE??!!??!?


He should have been subpoenaed to appear this week, enforced by inherent contempt power of Congress.

Can someone explain this ????

Hope it’s not inconvenient for Barr.

I thought March 5th or something which is somewhat reasonable. But 31st? BS.


In a normal presidency that might even be ok. But the impeachment was last Wednesday!!!!!! One week ago and look at everything that’s been done.

By March 31st, the story might seem quaint with what will for sure happen.

why they can't get his ass in there now. It makes no sense. This mob kingpin needs to be in prison along with his lord in the white house and Senate.

... could not have it sooner. Of course, he can always get busy and say he's not available until even later... then, he can just not answer anything, of lie. He's already lied to Congress.

The orange anus gave his marching orders to his toadies before Barr even received the Congressional letter.

Seven weeks of their pitching propaganda and bald-faced lies is going to be excruciatingly painful to endure.
