Is the democratic party in full panic mode?

Is the Democratic Party the Party of criminals because they helped finance the phony Russian dossier. That would explain their behavior.

When this investigation was began by Obama, and he had a meeting, Susan Rice sent herself the following email:

“President Obama began the conversation by stressing his continued commitment to ensuring that every aspect of this issue is handled by the Intelligence and law enforcement communities ‘by the book’. The President stressed that he is not asking about, initiating or instructing anything from a law enforcement perspective. He reiterated that our law enforcement team needs to proceed as it normally would by the book.”

Who the heck sends this sort of thing to themselves as an email, unless they are trying to create some sort of documentation. You might write it down in a note, but email it to yourself? You are trying to create a record.
Why would you do that?

Maybe you knew full well you were on thin ice.

Uh, yes, contemporaneous memos, which in the year 2019 can involve electronic word-processing and communication systems, are a fantastic way to record important details, especially when you need to cover your ass. People with important jobs who make consequential decisions do this on a daily basis. It’d be crazy not to do it.

Are you really saying this should have been on a napkin to achieve authenticity or something?

They had to bring in outside counsel to question him. They tried the same thing with Kavanaugh and we all remember how that went down. No wonder Barr didn’t play their game.

Wait, didn’t the Republicans bring in outside counsel to question Ford? Don’t you have it backwards?

Then why hasn’t Trump locked them up for the last 2 years?

Lol, I’ll give you all the time you need to answer that.

[wiley8425]

Yes and who was complaining later when that outside counsel actually did their job in questioning the Democrats’ star witness? It wasn’t Republicans. Stellar job trying to twist the point though. This time around the Dems would have brought their own in. Again, no wonder Barr didn’t play along.

No…its not

Hilarious. So Dems allowed outside counsel to question Ford, but Barr (a ■■■■■■■ lawyer) can’t even handle that, and so refuses to testify at all?

And you think you’ve made a point? Amazing.

[Plasmaball]

Right now? Biden isnt a bad choice if he only does 4 years. He can bring in the midwest I believe better than Warren or Harris. Sanders has his normal base but is too far left for the nation. You cant just slam people with a ton of stuff and expect them to jump on…

So I’m looking at a Biden Harris ticket and she preps for 2024 as the first woman president…since it’s become quite clear the black women vote is super important now

If Republicans brought in outside counsel “to actually do their job” in questioning Ford, why wouldn’t you want outside counsel to “actually do their job” and question Barr?

Why didn’t Barr play along, again? You’re saying it’s because Republicans used outside counsel on Ford and he didn’t like that?

[wiley8425]

Allowed. Too funny.

@Bodecea

What efforts of Barr are the Democrats restricting? Besides his effort to lie to Congress, that is…

I already gave my opinion. Lets wait and see how this plays out. Shall we?

[wiley8425]

Are you forgetting he already testified yesterday for five hours? What questions do you think they were saving for outside counsel that couldn’t have been just as easily asked yesterday exactly?

I was driving to the gym and Rush was talking

And your first instinct was to scurry to the forum to tell us what an entertainer is paid to tell you what to think. And you happily obliged? Wow.

@altair1013

the incredible rudeness that the Dems subjected Barr to

There are not enough laugh emjois for the snowflakiness of this statement.

@altair1013

Even though it was Mueller, not Barr who decided there was not enough evidence to prosecute for collusion or obstruction.

Sounds like you and Rush need to read the report.

@altair1013

Barr has said that he is committed to digging down and uncovering all of the sleaze involved in the FISA warrant, the FBI and all things that led to the false accusations against the President.

There is literally nothing stopping them from doing so.

It would behoove EVERYONE to not let entertainers tell them what to think.

And you and Rush REALLY want us to think that, by refusing to testify to the House today, that Barr is committed to uncovering the “truth” about the “Russia debacle?”

[altair1013]

@DougBH

I wouldn’t appear again until I got a public apology for having been called a liar.

Yep. It’s a totally hostile environment with only one purpose. To get Barr. Why would he play that game? I definitely would not be making it easy for those scoundrels.

[party-free]

@altair1013

The dems do not want any investigation into this debacle and will do everything in their power to stop it.

Dems tried to have a hearing today and Barr was supposed to testify. He didn’t show. So go on, and tell us all about who doesn’t want investigations.

[party-free]

Ironic, huh? This is why it’s terribly unwise to let entertainers think for you.

Time will tell. This investigation is just getting started. You do agree that this is going to be fun. Right?

@Zander

How are they trying to prevent it? Give an example.

They will try to impeach Barr or subpoena him continually. Probably a contempt of congress charge is in the works. Basically filibuster him. I could be wrong though. It may go down totally differently. It’s just started. We’ll see how it plays out. But you and I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that they will not support his efforts. Time will tell. As I said, it should be fun.

How does any of that prevent an investigation by Trump’s DOJ? Clue: It doesn’t.

And how does Congress filibuster the Attorney General? Points for creativity, but yikes.

One has to wonder why, with the GOP holding everything from 2017 to 2019, they didn’t do these investigations (or at least start them) then?

Congressional oversight of the Executive Branch is a game?
