The New York City bar goes after William Barr

[jnug]

The most disgusting aspect of the Barr/Trump connection is Barr sending Durham after CIA in an effort to flesh up whatever trash he can with Trump waiting in the wings literally ready to blast whatever trash he can over his now established disinformation apparatus.

The very biggest problem with that is CIA does not need to be laid bare for the purposes of DonDon's personal political agenda. DOJ has no business picking through CIA.

There is not a Prosecutor alive including Durham and certainly not Barr that understands how the IC works. How it generates its assessments, anything at all to do with Intelligence gathering. So there is simply no chance that Durham will come up with material that is credible because he has no idea what he is looking at. But will that stop DonDon from yammering endlessly? Did that stop Barr from starting this idiotic investigation in IC? Are Trump's ghoulish hordes frothing at the mouth about the possibility that Durham will find anything for them to consume? You're darned right they are.

Not even close to the point. Mostly left wing bull**** about Barr doing Trump's bidding. Why would Barr speaking out publicly that Trump's tweets were making it "impossible" to do his job IF Trump were calling the shots?

I answered your question directly. Don't ask the question if you don't want it answered. :shrug:

Sorry, Ain't gonna happen. If they get stupid Trump will just pardon him. They aren't going to give the guy 9 years for this BS.

As typically ****ed up Trump behavior as that would be, it might actually work out well for the left. More proof of his utter corruption.

But no, Trump probably won’t pardon Stone and it’ll be for the same reason he hasn’t pardoned Manafort, and probably won’t pardon Flynn either. It brings the heat too close to him, and as we all know, Trump only cares about Trump.

That wasn't an answer; it was a LW slogan.

Actually having Barr speak out makes perfect sense. Barr is telling Trump that it makes it hard for Barr to do Trump's bidding if Trump keeps spilling the beans, congratulating Barr for doing Trump's biddin, right out in public. Trump by keeping silent makes it difficult for the public to say with certainty that Barr is Trump's lawyer rather than the nations lawyer. So what Barr is saying makes perfect sense when you look at the tweets making it difficult to do Trump's business with impunity.

Just because you can't substantively respond to my answer doesn't make it a slogan.

At any rate, I'm still waiting on you to explain how career prosecutors lied to their boss. The U.S. Attorney for D.C. is the career prosecutor's boss, and was appointed to that job by AG Barr. His name is Timothy Shea, and Mr. Shea signed the sentencing memo and submitted it to the court under his name. So how did the prosecutors lie to that boss when that boss submitted the sentencing recommendation?

 

[JackA]

What corruption?

What lie have I made up?

I don't support any President using his executive branch powers for any corrupt political purposes. Let me know when Trump does it. (But present facts, please. I'm not interested in spin, speculation, hyperbole, innuendo or lies.)

You spend your time here doing things that don't interest you.

New York City bar is a joke! Just raw meat for our folks who despise the president.
They could not get Trump so now they will try to get AG Barr. But again
they will fail in grand fashion. eace

Barr has already stated that "it is impossible to do his job". He needs to resign immediately.

D.C Rules of Professional Conduct

Rule 8—Maintaining the Integrity of the Profession >

8.5—Disciplinary Authority; Choice of Law >

a) Disciplinary Authority. A lawyer admitted to practice in this jurisdiction is subject to the disciplinary authority of this jurisdiction, regardless of where the lawyer’s conduct occurs. A lawyer may be subject to the disciplinary authority of both this jurisdiction and another jurisdiction where the lawyer is admitted for the same conduct.

Fine, Show me where the DC Bar is making a complaint.

Nothing could be more comical than seeing the manic and undeterred Trump haters prattling about the "impartial administration of justice." When have they ever demonstrated a scintilla of impartiality about anything? Their entire reason for getting up each day is to find ways to attack Trump, attack his administration, attack those connected to the administration and work to advance their own political agendas. They are cynics, liars and frauds and should be told to shove their letter right up their backsides. The NYC bar should be much more concerned about the total failure of their socialist mayor and the mess he's turning the city back into and leave Barr to do his job.

As for Trump, he tweeted, that's it. The recommended sentence was totally and completely out of line and just another manifestation of Mueller's pets attempting to exact vengeance on people connected to Trump. If we have any REAL justice, we should be seeing Comey, Brennan, Clapper, McCabe and a host of other slimy establishment types brought to trial for their conspiracies, abuse of power, perjuries and who knows what else. This two tiered, politically driven justice system is fraught with all sorts of danger but the left and the MSM advance it daily.

The New York City bar goes after William Barr

This is an extraordinary request by the NYC Bar. Only the respective State Bar Association can reprimand a practicing attorney and a city bar requesting House and Senate investigations rarely if ever happens.

It is also possible that the New York State Bar Association will independently look into the Barr/Stone sentencing event of this past week.

No one cares.

Hey, they gotta defend themselves from the MS 13 in Congress.

This is what you post when you support complete corruption.

If you check my avatar you'll notice I live in California, not New York. the NY US Attorney doesn't loop me into most decisions. Maybe Shea mislead Barr, I have no idea. I know what's been said, and not suffering from TDS I tend to believe what's said.

You guys are insane, totally friggin' nuts. You create scenarios that even Netflix would buy. :roll:

The prosecution team was in the D.C. district and Shea is the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, appointed by AG Barr. You seem ignorant of really ALL the relevant facts in this case, so there's no mystery why you're confused.

FWIW, the allegation was the career prosecutors lied to their boss. They didn't. Their boss, a political appointee tapped by BARR, signed the sentencing memo. If Barr's hand picked D.C. USA didn't keep him in the loop, that might be a problem but it's different than the career prosecutors LIED, which was your claim. They didn't. It's a made up false claim, aka bull****, nonsense, horse crap, evidence free, baseless smears.
