Yep: x Congress must act immediately to rein in our lawless Attorney General. Barr should resign or face impeachment. And Congress should use spending power to defund the AG’s authority to interfere with anything that affects Trump, his friends, or his elections.— Elizabeth Warren (@ewarren) February 12, 2020 Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) on Wednesday called for Attorney…

VA-Sen: Sen. Mark Warner (D) Pushes The Call For Attorney General Bill Barr's Resignation
Received this e-mail today from U.S. Senator Mark Warner’s (D. VA) re-election campaign: Sen. Mark Warner (D. VA) This week, the Department of Justice released a long-awaited report into the origins of the Russia investigation. Contrary to what President Trump and his allies have been claiming for three years, the report found no evidence that…
Barr: Don't protest cops or you might find yourself without police protection
Does Bill Barr have to sound like a mobster every time he talks? This is a nice community you have. It would be a shame if someone wrecked it. The Washington Post: “Today, the American people have to focus on something else, which is the sacrifice and the service that is given by our law…
Mob consigliere Bill Barr disputes IG's finding on validity of FBI's Trump campaign investigation
Remember back in the before times when members of both parties were horrified that Trump appeared to be hectoring Jeff Sessions into resigning as attorney general? It was clear to anyone paying attention that Trump wanted Sessions — who had recused himself from the Mueller investigation — to act not as the nation’s top law…
Trump and Barr bring three decades of GOP criminality full circle
Historical events occur twice, Karl Marx famously said, first as tragedy and then as farce. But when it comes to the rampant lawlessness of Republican presidential administrations, the record is a succession of national tragedies for the United States. And the damage to America’s democratic institutions is no laughing matter. As President Trump, his attorney…

Trump's AG pick thought a border wall was an idiotic idea when Pat Buchanan proposed it
Back in 1992, Pat Buchanan primaried incumbent President George H.W. Bush because, apparently, Bush wasn’t nearly racist enough. You may remember Buchanan. He was a nativist, xenophobic tub of nut butters who campaigned on a platform of fear and scapegoating. Thank God the GOP had too much sense to ever allow a guy like that to gain…
Trump's top AG candidate thinks Uranium One should be investigated before Russian collusion
Maybe it’s a good thing there’s a marginally credible attorney general candidate who thinks Donald Trump is totally, totally innocent. I don’t know if our tottering republic could withstand a Senate confirmation hearing featuring Jeanine Pirro or Rudy Giuliani or Mayor McCheese or whatever the fuck Trump’s aspartame-addled Wiffle-ball cerebrum might dream up. Then again, picking the…
House Dems will force Whitaker to testify in hearings on Mueller investigation
Donald Trump has been screeching and whining like a toddler in a dentist’s chair for the past two years, and so far all he’s gotten is a teeth cleaning. Well, here come the pliers, motherfucker. Get ready to spit blood. On CNN’s State of the Union today, Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.), who will likely be…
AN OPEN LETTER TO THE ILLINOIS ATTORNEY GENERAL
Dear Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan: I realize the state of Michigan is out of your jurisdiction, but I wanted to bring to your attention that one of your citizens has been in our state for nearly four years and frankly, we're really sick and tired of him. Illinois resident Richard Baird came to Michigan…
