Democrats Want To Impeach Barr

humbolt said:
The fear of the political left concerning what the DOJ may reveal in coming months is palpable. But hey - maybe Barr should endorse similar sentencing recommendations when their cases are adjudicated.

I suspect those convicted will be given lenient sentences. Far too lenient is my suspicion, so the malfeasance will only recur, lenient sentences being an insufficient deterrent.
 
Right after Trump was acquitted, someone here started a thread about what will the Dems do next. I predicted they would go after Barr. I was right...except I predicted a fake whistleblower. Instead, they used some attorneys. Doesn't matter. Same result. Nonsense about "Trump doing something for personal purposes".

But time is running out. I don't think they can afford to take 70-90 days this time. Those House Dems had better get busy.
 
They just want to get rid of all the mafia underbosses.

I challenge the House Democrats to get 3 impeachments in before the election!

You lost your impeachment gambit. If that effort was the best your brain dead leaders can do, I'm not concerned in the least.

Trump was Impeached, everyone knew the fix was in in the Senate.

The Senate did just that, even for the first time in history not allowing evidence, documents a d witnesses.

Also for the first time in history a member of the accused party voted to remove.

Many Republicans admitted he was guilty but used a variety of excuses to try to justify their cowerdness.

All of americans saw what a sham that was as did the whole world.

And you somehow see that as a win???

You speak nonsense.
An impeachment is the formal accusation process. He was acquitted of those accusations. President Trump has been forever acquitted of the bs articles of impeachment.

As for the no witnesses bs?
1.
"Never in Senate history has this body paused an impeachment trial to pursue additional witnesses with unresolved questions of executive privilege that would require protracted litigation," he said. "We have no interest in establishing such a new precedent, particularly for individuals whom the House expressly chose not to pursue."​

2. They presented witnesses by video.

So far he has, that's true, but then shoot fish in a barrel isn't really sport, is it?
 
I wonder what jobs Barr is gonna get after Trump is out of office.

Normally, a former AG could basically write their own job description for a 7-figure salary at any law or lobbying firm.

I don't think it's gonna work out that way for Barr. Maybe he'll take a teaching job at some small law school, like Gonzales.

Of course, that's a great excuse. He can just say he's "retiring", and can slink off into the night and never be seen again. That way he can save himself the embarrassment.

You're probably right.

No but when the fish are house democrats it sure is amusing!

In that case it's largely self inflicted. To be fair, the Republicans grandstanding in public committee hearings aren't really much better either.

Bingo. They don't want 3 co-equal branches of government.

Senate Democrats Demand Barr Resign Or Face Impeachment Over Roger Stone Case
Click to expand...

I’ll be interested to see if they stick to their oversight role or try to make it another campaign show.

If they want to question Barr about Stone then they have every right to do so. That’s “oversight”. If they choose to spout more conspiracy theories and get all up in the “subjective intent” stuff again it will all be campaigning.

True, but as panicked as they are over Bernie's 2 recent wins, I suspect it'll be the latter rather then the former.

And I think he is going to be loaded for bear. March 31st pencil it in. He will be going before Nasty Nadler's Judiciary committee. I have a feeling Nadler and his minions are in for a real bitch slapping.
And those Democrat senators calling for Barr to resign are a sheer embarrassment. The idea that an AG doesn't have the authority to weigh in on sentencing don't have any business working in Congress.

Correct me if I am wrong but now that we know that this whole thing about lowering recommended years for Stone was going on over a week ago. Barr wanted it to be 2-3 years due to part of the case against Stone was very weak. The leftover Mueller lawyers wanted 7-9 years. They didn't get what they wanted so instead resigned.

One thing I do not like about this is a president weighing in on a case not yet finalized. I didn't like it when Obama did it and I don't like it when Trump did it. I understand his frustration because he knows the whole Mueller investigation was based on what we now know were lies which allowed Mueller and his anti-Trump team of prosecutors to go fishing into anyone associated with Trump to bring a slew of charges against them that had nothing to do with Russia, Russia Russia. And they sought the highest sentences possible. Heck just a couple of days ago the judge in the Flynn case has postponed sentencing indefinitely. What does the judge know that we don't?

I hope Trump holds his powder dry from this point on. He has the power to pardon anyone he wants. I think after Durham's report is released and indictments known, he will have a good reason to pardon anyone who ended up with a conviction due to Mueller. Because his very investigation was started on lies.

Stone was found guilty on all counts, so the case certainly wasn't that "weak".

The sentence recommended by the prosecution was well within the federal sentencing guidelines for the offenses Stone was found guilty of, and in fact towards the lower end.

He could have faced 50 years.
