16. The Judiciary Committee didn't just start investigating Barr

From more than two weeks ago:

House Judiciary Chairman Announces Actions to Hold AG Barr Accountable
Chairman Nadler proposes funding cuts, court filings, and Committee oversight hearings

Washington, June 2, 2020

Washington, D.C. –Today, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) announced a series of actions to counter Attorney General William Barr's continued defiance of Congress and improper politicization of the Department of Justice (DOJ). The announcement comes following the Attorney General’s refusal to appear before the House Judiciary Committee, the second time he has failed to do so this Congress.

Chairman Nadler and the Judiciary Committee will take steps to protect the integrity of the Department of Justice, including the following:

This week, Chairman Nadler will introduce legislation to slash the budget of the Attorney General's personal office at DOJ by $50 million.

In the coming weeks, the Committee will hear testimony from DOJ whistleblowers and former Department officials. These individuals are prepared to describe specific incidents of misconduct, as well as the unprecedented politicization of the Department of Justice under President Trump and Attorney General Barr.

Chairman Nadler and other members of the Committee will file an amicus brief in the case of United States v. Michael Flynn in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. The Flynn case is one of many cases in which Attorney General Barr has improperly interfered for the benefit of President Trump and his political allies.

This week, a DOJ whistleblower is testifying before the Judiciary Committee. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-06-16/house-democrats-subpoena-justice-department-whistle-blowers

9. Barrs

Lots of em. Fat boy got lots of crevasses to penetrate in a prison setting. Especially around the neck. Lock Him Up! Shout It with me, General, like you proudly shouted about Hillary. Maybe the both can share a cell at GITMO for treason.

[cstanleytech]

10. Frankly I am surprised that Barr still has his license to practice law. Makes me wonder about

the varies bar associations Barr is registered and if they even have any ethical standards.

[BigmanPigman]

11. What will they investigate...

He fired Berman because...
1. was investigateing Deutsche Bank
2. was investigating Giuliani and associates
3 was investigati g tRump and family taxes and organization
4. Barr lied about the Mueller report, influencing Stone's sentence....Obstruction of Justice
5. Lev and Igor's case is pending
6. He influenced Flynn case
7. SDNY was investigating investigating the Turkish bank Halkbank for allegedly evading U.S. sanctions against Iran... Turkey (Erdogan raised with Trump by handing him a memo at the G20 Summit in Buenos Aires in December 2018).
8. tRump's TAXES

Berman implied that the stakes in SDNY are whether “our *investigations* will move forward without delay or interruption.” Barr replied with assurances only about “*cases* now pending.” There’s a lot of room for mischief in the gap between those words. There are 5 months before the election...this will put A LOT on hold.

[cstanleytech]

13. Makes me wonder if the goal was not to kill existing cases but rather to kill one

that was about to be initiated.
If that was what this about then Barr might have just set himself up for criminal charges down the road.

[BigmanPigman]

17. Both, old and future cases.

But, if tRump didn't officially fire him it may not be valid....if Barr says that the president has fired him, but the president tells reporters that in fact he is “not involved,” doesn’t that mean Berman is still US attorney for SDNY?

[cstanleytech]

19. Depends on what the law says and if Barr has the power under the law to fire him

without permission of the President.
Of course my guess is Trump knew about it and is lying like a kid who just got caught with his hand in the cookie jar and is trying to shift the blame to some other kid.

[BigmanPigman]

21. Of course he is lying. He doesn't remember how to tell the truth.

He would have to do regression therapy to when he was 1 1/2 years old.

This makes me wonder if Barr is being investigated by SDNY too.

[cstanleytech]

40. Maybe but its also possible Barr feared an ongoing or soon to be launched investigation

was going to find something inadvertently during the course of the investigation that he did that he wants to prevent being uncovered.

[BigmanPigman]

41. That seems quite likely.

There must be a zillion crimes that have been committed by team tRump and we know that a lot are being covered up at the highest levels. I am sure the GOP is also aware of a ton of crimes but they will never convict him on anything, ever, and he knows it, especially after his impeachment. He and Barr and Mitch will keep committing and covering up more and more crimes right up to Inauguration Day (if we even get there). This country has been sold to the devil(s).

[SheltieLover]

34. I wonder f any connection

To judge Berman-Jackson. Isn't that person one who was tough on Manafort?

[BigmanPigman]

38. I don't know but it is a good question.

I would like to know the answer too.

[SheltieLover]

39. Thx!

Hoping someone here will know. 😉

23. Bars for Barr!

[calimary]

24. Diss-Barr!

And I hope he IS disbarred, too, so he can't serve anywhere else. And then there are those other bars - that he belongs behind!

[SheltieLover]

35. 🤣

You covered all his bases! 🤣👍

[rocktivity]

25. And she should dust off those impeachment papers, too, while she's at it

He's effectively confessed to suborning mass murder:

Excellent point!

I wonder if House could just resubmit same impeachment package to Senate again. She won't, but it would frost Moscow Mitch's fat ass. 👍

[lastlib]

37. We no longer have a Department of Justice.....

She'll have to burn him out of the Dept. of Crony Protection.
