Calls for Barr to be Investigated–and possibly Impeached–Intensify after lying to congress

Attorney General Bill Barr lied to Congress by spreading fictitious stories about the Department of Justice (DOJ) spying on President Donald Trump‘s 2016 campaign, according to legal experts. And now, congressional calls are ramping up for Barr to be investigated by oversight authorities–and, some critics say, possibly impeached.

“I think spying on a political campaign is a big deal,” Barr told a panel of senators in April of this year–without providing any evidence for the controversial claim. “I think spying did occur.”

Congressional Democrats groused at the time–saying Barr’s comments were the result of “willful ignorance” and that they directly contradicted previous DOJ briefings on the subject.

Former U.S. Attorney and current University of Alabama Law Professor Joyce White Vance said a forthcoming report by the DOJ Office of Inspector General (OIG) will put the lie to Barr’s heavily-criticized “spying” claim once and for all.

“[T]he important takeaway is that everything that President Trump has been saying for the last couple of years about the deep state and the effort by the Obama Justice Department to attack his campaign, that’s all been made up,” Vance told MSNBC. “None of it was true.”

The MSNBC contributor then took direct aim at Barr’s role:

Wow, has anyone from CNN joined MSNBCs Professor's comment? Did they miss AG Barr's recent talk? Can someone post the video again? They would crucify Barr if they remembered his words.

I am watching John Brennan's twitter feed. If he goes a few more days it will be the longest time since he last tweeted. (I am dreaming his last tweet was him pissed off before he was leaving for a meeting of indictment leading to sentencing of 50 plus years in Leavenworth. I wonder if McCabe got immunity?

(and then I woke up) but a sliver of hope is all yee havith mates.

Someone needs perp walked very soon, or we are done as a country, mates.

It is literally a fact that the fbi sent undercover agents to collect intel on various trump campaign members and their relations with Russia.

That is spying

It isn’t spying on the campaign and its election activities, but it is spying on campaign members.

Malcolm nance is splitting hairs


Nobody has EVER alleged that the fbi spied on the CAMPAIGN as a political operation.

This actually tells me Barr is taking this thing in the right direction. Kinda scares me where all the Republicans stand who have their hands in the cookie jar.

Investigate!!!

Impeach!!!!

It's time witnesses started going the frick off on Congress whenever they are called. Blast the hell out of them, mock them. Tell Congressmen they are the ones who apparently have contempt for Congress.

Isn't Law & Crime the Lawfare blog? So basically Lawfare is trying to spin a situation they themselves aided and abetted.

Since the DOJ (the FBI is under the DOJ), actually, literally spied on Trump's campaign, there is nothing fictitious about these "stories."

Seems like a weird line of counterattack.

Horse shite.

I allege that very thing, because it being a political operation they loathed is the only reason is happened.

Bingo. When the Deep State is attacking someone, you can know that 1) the object of their attack is doing good work, and 2) they are hovering over the target.


This happens time after time after time. The DS just recently attacked Jim Jordan FOR THE SECOND TIME about some sort of sexual harassment charges in the Ohio State wrestling program from maybe 20 years ago. Why did this surface after 20 years? Why did it recently resurface when Jordan was reassigned to Schiff's committee?

Same thing happened with Kavanaugh, Nunes, Trump, Jr., John Solomon, etc. Happens to President Trump EVERY DAY. The fact that the DS wants to take out AG Barr is a good sign.

The Democrats and their sycophantic media always linkTrump to any campaign members when charged with crimes which had no connection to him or the campaign. Yet, when these same type people are spied upon only because of their campaign connections they claim Trump was not spied on.

Lemme guess, she has no problem with Schiff’s repeated claims of a Russian smoking gun and the distortion of the Trump Ukraine phone call?

I can not wait to see a real, FACT-BASED Criminal Indictment...with all the t's crossed and i's dotted. It's what Barr/Durham will deliver, and what the Dems will have to deal with.

Their ultimate and only justification for the *spying*, will be that Trump's inflammatory rhetoric - "they are rapists", "grab em' by the p*%&&*", "fire and fury like the World has never seen", "NATO is obsolete", ad infitim - will not be that it was *spying*...but justifiable oversight and investigation.

It'll be like Bill's "depends on what the meaning of the word 'is'...is"; pure bs. But half the Nation will swallow it hook, line and sinker...because they hate Trump, Trump Nation and the America First narrative. It's what 3 decades of Leftist indoctrination in Higher Ed has gotten us...Democratic Fascism.

And with the MSM fanning the flames...there'll be trouble any way we slice it. The Left has already taken the gloves off; this whole fraud is clear proof of that. The day that the Right does the same, is the day that Rule of Law and Equal Justice begins to be re-established. Won't be pretty or painless. Earth 2019.
