Barr is not trying to investigate anything, he’s trying to create confusion and divert attention away from actual Mueller report. How many Republicans do you think will continue to support Trump if they read the whole report and not the Barr “summary” ?
Barr should investigate those who came up with so much incriminating evidence against the Rump. Maybe he could have them charged for exposing that beast in the White House.
“The Russia investigation was a legitimate investigation, with a legitimate basis, into how a hostile foreign power tried to interfere with and undermine our democracy. It was in the best interests of the nation—in the interests of all Americans, no matter who they voted for—that this investigation be allowed to proceed to its rightful conclusion, without improper attempts to obstruct it, if only so that we could all know what really happened and take steps to see that it never happens again.
But because you are a malignant narcissist—a person with both narcissistic and antisocial personality disorders—you couldn’t view it that way. Instead of complying with your oath of office, and instead of taking stock of what was in the best interests of the nation whose Constitution and laws you swore to uphold, you viewed the matter purely in terms of your own ego: You viewed the investigation as casting doubt on what you perceive as your great election victory (in which your opponent garnered nearly three million more votes than you did), and so you took multiple steps to obstruct, and repeatedly lied about, the investigation from the outset.
Even today, despite the well-founded assessments of the intelligence community, and despite the Instead, you continue to lie, calling the investigation a “hoax” and an “attempted coup."
“Put simply, you put your own perceptions of your self-interest above the national interest, which you seem unable to comprehend or respect. That is your greatest offense against the country, an offense that incorporates but vastly exceeds the statutory crimes you’ve committed. It is the ultimate high crime or misdemeanor under the Constitution, and under the Framers’ wise design; it is an offense for which you should pay with your office, regardless of whether you are ultimately brought to justice in the courts of law.”
It’s always been race to see what would happen first – Mueller et al would turn up something damning on Trump, or the DOJ OIG would turn up evidence that the whole Mueller investigation was illegal to start.
Barr isn’t investigating, he’s following Nikita Kruschev’s threat regarding all the facts, evidence, proofs, convictions regarding Bonespurs’ activities and orders to his minions, “I will bury them”.
Republicans—especially those who’ve been involved for years—are making LOTS of money through Individual One’s administration: they’re not going to vote against it.
Investigate the Investigators? Varell wants to be in charge of the Kangaroo court that puts Republican Jim Comey, Republican Bob Mueller, Republican Rod Rosenstein and Republican DonMcGahn In Jail. Sure Go for it. Don’t worry about breaking precedent. I’m sure that Joe Biden’s pick to investigate the entire matter will be as non-partisan and Ken Star. I’d nominate James Carville or Eric Holder.
Inasmuch as the “conflicts” and so on of the “investigators” are entirely Trumpish fantasies, an investigation wouldn’t take long. Starting with determining that every single thing that Trump has said about it is false. (I believe he actually named Jeff Sessions as part o the “Democrat” conspiracy against him. Sessions may have actually been a Democrat, a long time ago, that is a Dixiecrat, i.e. a closet Publican.)
WTF is Varvel drivelling about here? Barr investigating investigators? Who are leaving evidence of their investigatory efforts? I do often wonder why I bother reading this strip.
So Director Mueller did not find a prior or express agreement between Russia and our esteemed President*s campaign to influence the election?
Mueller certainly found a Russia willing to assist, and a Trump campaign willing to reap the benefit of Russian influence. And our esteemed President* was desperate to hide and distance himself from the Russian plan.
Did the Russians have the best interests of America at heart in promoting the Donald? Of course not!
Regardless of how erratic and idiotic our esteemed President* may be, he understands that the Russians promoted him because they considered him to be the dimmer bulb. It deeply offends his over bigly inflated sense of self to know he was the Russians choice . . . because he was the dumbass in the race.
As he has done his whole life, he must distract from yugely embarassing facts by distracting, disrupting, and reinventing the story from whole cloth.
Our intelligence apparatus investigated him simply because it was suspicious and peculiar that amajor party American presidential candidate would welcome the assistance or an arch-enemy to squeak out an election victory.
And then there was Helsinki.
This malignant clown must be repudiated at the ballot box. To burn him at the stake of impeachment will only serve to martyr him to the faithful.
By the way, what would Bozo look like with a massive comb-over?
To Quote George Orwell.“In time of Universal Deceit Telling the Truth is a Revolutionary act”
When Trump can’t tell the Truth about things so minor as the birth place of his father, you Trumpsters want to take his word for important things like his relations with Putin or his Taxes or his wall or anything of importance, like did the investigators break the law?
So Trumpsters, be Americans, Be Revolutionaries, Call him out on the TRUTH
Today’s paper reports that Pompeo has cautioned Russkies and Snake Eyes against screwing with the next election. Someone in the admin is paying attention anyway. Kinda leaves Barr with foot in mouth disease maybe? Benghhazi!! Benghazi!!
