Anything for a dollar.

Tonight:

Michael Bersin @MBersin
@LesterHoltNBC I missed the point in your interview with William Barr (r) where you asked him why he waited to speak out until he was ready to sell his “tell-all” book.

Earlier:

Mr. Newberger @jeremynewberger
I wouldn’t buy Bill Barr’s book, but I wouldn’t rule out paying to see him shove it up his ass.

Yep.

Bad combover. Check. Too long red tie. Check. Orange spray tan. Check. Tiny hands. Check. Cluelessness. Check…

William Barr (r) was kissing Donald Trump’s (r) ass and it just accidentally went off

I condemn ALL who hijack a legitimate national conversation and use it as an excuse to loot, destroy, and kill. Their actions are reprehensible and have no place in our nation.

In the 4th Congressional District?

“Make America Great Again” – in Russian.

Ken Dilanian @KenDilanianNBC
William Barr’s Justice Department (but not the prosecutors on the case) told a federal judge it doesn’t believe it can prove a charge that Mike Flynn HAS ADMITTED TO IN OPEN COURT.

In Russian – “We are so fucked.”

Yes, we are. We have been for almost four years.

Too late, it’s here.

Donald Trump’s campaign operation has never been a bastion of moral rectitude.

Barr takes control of legal matters of interest to Trump, including Stone sentencing
Attorney General William Barr’s intervention in Roger Stone’s case wasn’t the first time senior political appointees reached into a case involving an ex-Trump aide, officials say.

…the case against Trump associate Roger Stone. On Tuesday, all four line prosecutors withdrew from the case — and one quit the Justice Department altogether — after Barr and his top aides intervened to reverse a stiff sentencing recommendation of up to nine years in prison that the line prosecutors had filed with the court Monday…

They don’t even have to bother to try and hide it anymore.

This morning:

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump
Congratulations to Attorney General Bill Barr for taking charge of a case that was totally out of control and perhaps should not have even been brought. Evidence now clearly shows that the Mueller Scam was improperly brought & tainted. Even Bob Mueller lied to Congress!

See you in the labor camps.

“Executive time” his morning:

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump
“The Democrats can’t come to grips with the fact that there was No Collusion, there was No Conspiracy, there was No Obstruction. What we should be focused on is what’s been going on in our government, at the highest levels of the FBI….” Senator Josh Hawley

On the somewhat brighter side when it comes to Congressional oversight – at least Missouri is represented by a U.S. Senator who has first hand experience with an Attorney General who obstructs and lies. Oh, wait…

#resist, Donald Trump, Kansas City, missouri, Mueller Report, Robert Mueller, Russia, special counsel, William Barr

Early this evening approximately fifty individuals showed up in Kansas City on the steps to the Liberty Memorial on Pershing facing Union Station to protest the continued suppression of the Mueller Report by Trump Administration Attorney General William Barr. This was one of hundreds of protests across the nation, organized on very short notice by a loose coalition of national activist groups.

Two Kansas City Police officers stood nearby.

“What are you hiding?”

“…the full report”

A flyby by a local network affiliate:

The Liberty Memorial:

“We won’t be Barred from the truth”

“Bill Barr, what are you hiding?”

“No one is above the law”

That’s what we used to think.
