Barr meets privately with Senate Republicans

[Qutzupalotl]

First I’d heard of this...

Link to tweet

@senkamalaharris:
Attorney General Barr is privately meeting with Senate Republicans today instead of testifying and allowing Democratic Senators to hear from him too.

This is unacceptable. Barr must testify immediately.

[monmouth4]

1. I'll wager he's resigning and wanted them to know first and tell them how to handle it..n/t

[pbmus]

3. From your keyboard to the almighty'make it so'

[onenote]

4. I'd take that bet.

No way he is resigning.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

5. More likely he's coordinating his story.

[Grasswire2]

23. yep

God only knows why Dems gave him six plus weeks to wait to testify.

WHY???

I want to scream that at the Capitol Building.

WHY???

[Caliman73]

13. That would be great but I doubt it.

Staying in office is likely keeping Barr from any justice due him.

[Anon-C]

2. Right!

[bluestarone]

6. They don't even hide it any more!

[DENVERPOPS]

20. Amen to that

Its been some time now that they haven't tried to hide a lot of stuff.

Can you imagine if this were reversed with Obama's DOJ meeting in private with just Dems???????

7. But the House Leadership Allowed Barr to skate until March 31

He needs to be subpoenaed and brought to the House to answer questions IMMEDIATELY. Why did Speaker Pelosi allow this. This is the biggest story of the day, not all the constant attempts out there to whack Sen Sanders

[CincyDem]

8. Likely because 3/31 is earlier than they'd get trying litigate a subpoena. n/t

[struggle4progress]

9. "I want to tell you about my hero, Roland Freisler"

[rockfordfile]

10. Lock him up

[Evolve Dammit]

11. Strategery" Sorry, W would have said that. I wish Barr would be impeached. Now.

[Scarsdale]

12. No big surprise there.

After all, he works only for the republican president, doesn't he? Maybe the democratic constituents should demand their share of his salary back, since he is tRump's personal lawyer, not the position he is supposed to fill.

14. Coaching sessions.

[warmfeet]

15. Of the people, by the people and for the people.

It's the name of a ship I saw. It sailed quite a while ago.

I still retain some hope of chasing it down, and wrangling it back to shore.

[milestogo]

16. Maybe he'll get the coronavirus and spread it to all of them.

Or ebola, that would be even better.

[moondust]

17. And by "meeting" she means...

"conspiring."

[rurallib]

18. Are we paying him or are the fucking Republicans

Get it out in the open where we can all see, Barr!

[spanone]

19. K&R...

[Under The Radar]

21. Barr secret meeting, Trump attacking supreme court

They aren’t accountable to anyone and want to shake it in our face.

[Perseus]

22. He must be impeached, period

[Demonaut]

24. was Romney invited?

not that I trust him but do they trust him?

[Qutzupalotl]

28. Good question. I don't know.

My gut feeling is it would be hard to stop him from attending. They’d need a reason to disinvite him, but all they have is “Trump doesn’t like you.”

Then again, they should let Democrats attend too, so WTF do I know.

[dalton99a]

25. Kick

[diva77]

26. rethug senators have to keep obeying dump's orders in order to continue receiving "protection"

K&R for exposure

[exboyfil]

27. Is this going to get the same coverage

As the Bill Clinton Loretta Lynch runway meeting. Because it sure is a whole lot more corrupt.

[Qutzupalotl]

29. It does look corrupt as hell

and I haven’t seen any real coverage of the meeting. I guess no press got wind of it and none of the Republicans are leaking.

The only way I can spin this into a positive for us is maybe Barr was not able to shut down all investigations into Trump, and is telling Republicans to prepare for blowback. I heard that Berman in SDNY is not playing ball with Barr and is proceeding with whatever he’s working on. But I really don’t know.

[exboyfil]

30. And that is still corrupt

He is the AG of the entire country. Of course he has to talk with the President, but it looks shifty as hell to only talk to one party. Anything he has to say impacts all of Congress, not just one party. He is our AG - not the GOPs.

Why doesn't want of the candidates start the drumbeat on this. BARR'S CORRUPT MEETING.

[Karadeniz]

31. Inexcusable.

[kentuck]

32. Do you think maybe he's bringing a "strategy" message from Trump?

This lying pandemic is worse than coronavirus.

[Qutzupalotl]

36. The secrecy suggests to me it's something like that.

Possibly a heads up or coordination of strategy. But in any event, excluding Democrats is inexcusable. As others here noted, we all pay his salary, and not to prop up a dictator.

[blakstoneranger]

33. They're laughing it up and ridiculing the orange idiot!

"Hey, did ya see that photo of him with that horrible fake tan! Wow!"

[sinkingfeeling]

34. House should impeach him.

[Qutzupalotl]

35. Strongly agree. eom

[Sunsky]

37. +1000 nt
