Two Whistleblowers Come Forward And Will Testify Against William Barr


House Judiciary Committee Chairman Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY) announced that two whistleblowers would be testifying against William Barr.

Nadler’s office announced in a statement provided to PoliticusUSA, “House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) issued two subpoenas for testimony from two Department of Justice whistleblowers. These individuals—John W. Elias and Aaron S.J. Zelinsky—are prepared to describe the unprecedented politicization of the Department under President Trump and Attorney General William Barr. Mr. Elias and Mr. Zelinsky will be joined by former U.S. Deputy Attorney General Donald Ayer in a hearing before the Committee on June 24, 2020.”

Chairman Nadler said:

The Attorney General—who cites his busy schedule as a basis for refusing to appear before the House Judiciary Committee but has made time for multiple television interviews—may have abdicated his responsibility to Congress, but the brave men and women of our civil service have not. The Committee welcomes the testimony of current and former Department officials who will speak to the lasting damage the President and the Attorney General have inflicted on the Department of Justice.

Two of the witnesses scheduled to testify, Aaron Zelinsky and John Elias, are dedicated public servants currently employed by the Department. Mr. Zelinsky can speak to the Department’s handling of the sentencing of Roger Stone and Mr. Elias can speak to improperly motivated activity by the Antitrust Division.

Barr has been acting as Trump’s personal lawyer since he became Attorney General. Barr has interfered in the Roger Stone case, dropped the prosecution of Mike Flynn even after Flynn confessed twice to lying to the FBI, and personally taken over overseeing, and shutting down, any federal investigations that involve Donald Trump, his family, or his businesses.

William Barr is the most corrupt attorney general in modern American history, and in a little more than a week, whistleblowers are going to detail his impeachable offenses.

1. Get them in front of the committee FAST! Yes.

[soldierant]

21. And get them excellent security - FASTER nt

[Roy Rolling]

24. Most Corrupt and Dangerous

Ruthlessly contemptible, Barr was installed after his law firm was entangled in Russian intrigue. Originally just to steer the authorities in another direction, he found it too easy to steer the authorities in any direction he and Trump personally desired, regardless of the law.

He silenced Jefferey Epstein before he could talk, these whistleblowers are in similar danger.

[DENVERPOPS]

31. It's not just BARR,

This is, by far, the most thoroughly corrupt political party in the history of our nation................

[Cha]

2. KR!

[pandr32]

3. They need to be protected

[Delphinus]

5. Absolutely. n/m

[2naSalit]

8. Probably already are...

I can see where a lot of preparation has been going on while we've been trying to stay alive. Our House Reps. have been working all this time. To get these hearings proceed now will expedite some of the these cases for next year when there's going to be a lot to investigate and prosecute.

[certainot]

44. it is likely that limbaugh is leading a chorus of attacks on them - like all

significant trump admin critics. those attacks are designed to enable and push republican pols and media to disrupt and try to discredit them and won't be countered or challenged

[awesomerwb1]

4. Can we temporarily

transfer Katie Porter to that committee?



PS I know the answer

[Marie Marie]

22. Why not? Remember when the Republicans brought in Gym Jordan to play pitbull?

[awesomerwb1]

32. True. Good point.

[mjvpi]

45. They should have a joint committee.

House and Senate. Democrats should divide their time between Representative Porter and Senator Harris. Can you imagine those two questioning “Should Be Behind”Barr for a couple of hours with only the inane alternating Republicans periodically saving his ass from the concise pummeling.

I’d pay good money to see that. Wait.......We do pay good money, and we should see exactly that.

[sheshe2]

6. Disbar Barr.

Then lock his ass up for life.

[smirkymonkey]

7. Well, I don't think Bill "Droopy Dog" Barr is going to be very happy about that.

And neither is Twitler. I predict a very bumpy 2nd half of 2020 for both of them.

[jaxexpat]

9. the crux grows closer.

Will a democracy survive long enough to shake off it's saboteurs?

[grumpyduck]

10. I don't know why they feel they have to reveal who the witnesses are

this far in advance. Just opens the door to lawsuits and other bullshit.

Just say "two witnesses," fchrissake.

[BSdetect]

11. WOuld love to see Barr behind bars

[Marie Marie]

23. And disbarred.

[lastlib]

36. He reminds me of Jabba the Hutt (Star Wars)....

...and I wish for him a similar fate. But much more painful and enduring.

[OMGWTF]

43. Trump reminds me of Pizza the Hut from "Space Balls"

[SheltieLover]

12. K&R!

[bucolic_frolic]

13. Will they be allowed to testify?

[warmfeet]

14. He will not do well in prison. NT

[RainCaster]

15. I predict...

1. The Cheeto Tweeter will tell Billy Barr to not show up.
2. DFT will then issue an "Executive Order" declaring that the Democrats are on a witch hunt.
3. This will get delayed until DFT is tossed out on Jan 20, 2021
4. We the taxpayers will get stuck with the legal bills

[Blue Owl]

16. I wanna see that fat fuck fry

[calimary]

19. Gee, that has a nice ring to it!

[crickets]

42. Gruesome image but the alliteration is lovely! nt

[onetexan]

17. I hope these men have protection. I would not doubt there would be attempts to intimidate or harm

them.

[ffr]

18. I understand the part of Darth Vadar is taking auditions.

Barr? Barr? William Barr? Anyone seen Mr. Barr?

[Firestorm49]

20. One can only hope. Our side needs a victory of any sort

to bolster our side. We’ve dealt with enough corruption and destruction of American values. We need a shot in the arm just to give us hope.

[NoMoreRepugs]

25. This is going to be excellent theatre. The Repukes will

of course all fall on their swords for billyboy and RumpenFuhrer. Get your popcorn ready.

[luv2fly]

26. And America yawns

... "and in a little more than a week, whistleblowers are going to detail his impeachable offenses."

Much/most of America won't care, the Senate will do squat, and nothing will happen. Not my wish (let the asshat fry) but my guess... we went down this road recently and there was no pandemic nor nationwide protests to distract people.

[babylonsister]

29. We still need to hear from them, at least for the record. nt

[WinstonSmith4740]

27. I really hate feeling this way.

But those two witnesses need to be either in protective custody, or put in a safe house somewhere. These guys are not above killing someone. Barr is making John Mitchell look reasonable.

[LudwigPastorius]

28. "...in a little more than a week, whistleblowers are going to detail his impeachable offenses."

I hope Barr's misdeeds are more than just impeachable, because there isn't time (or the will) for an investigation, charges, and a trial before the election.

Hopefully, any testimony given could be reaffirmed in front of a grand jury later for indictment and prosecution.

[Ohioboy]

30. Time to actually drain that swamp they're always talking about

[BlancheSplanchnik]

33. Good good good!!! Get that far-right, extremist theology scumbag!!!

...Out of here!!

[spanone]

34. ⭐️⭐️⭐️K&R ⭐️⭐️⭐️

[Nitram]

35. Thank the Buddha (or the Flying Spaghetti Thing) for people who dedicated their lives to serve

their country by faithfully executing their duties as a government official or employee.

[The Wizard]

37. John Mitchell went to prison for less.

Barr couldn't survive prison.

[TeamPooka]

38. Make Barr testify even if you have to bring him in cuffs

[usaf-vet]

39. EXACTLY! Do not let him just ignore Congress. Use what ever tools you have to drag his ass in.

[TeamPooka]

47. Because the real question is what would Republicans do if a Democratic AG refused to testify?

Issue subpoenas? Charge with Contempt?
Whatever.
That is what we need to do.

[Lucinda]

40. KNR

[NY06DemSoc]

41. Great! When can we expect impeachment hearings? NT

[LiberalLovinLug]

46. Where is the American Bar Association in all of this?

I understand that they don't have the power to strip the Barr with two r's of his licence, but a public press conference declaring him unfit and breaking the code of his profession would go a long way
