News outlets are reporting that Barr...

[SHRED]

...is forming a team to investigate the origins of the Special Counsel investigation.

Barr just said he's doing neither.

Where is the truth?

[Iliyah]

1. Media.

Barr is a liar and compromised.

[Arkansas Granny]

2. At this point, I don't trust anyone in Trump's administration to tell the truth about anything.

Trump is a lying conman who has surrounded himself with others of his ilk. If they weren't liars and conmen (and women) themselves, they wouldn't be able to work for Trump.

3. Barr is forming a committee to investigate the

concept of truth.

[gratuitous]

14. First witness for the Barr Committee

Mister, ah, Pontius (am I pronouncing that right?) Pilate?

Governor, actually.

I apologize. Governor Pilate, I have here a quote from you during an official proceeding, where you ask, What is truth?

Yes sir.

Please tell the committee the oranges of that question.

Oranges?

You know what it means; that's the word we use here.

[guillaumeb]

18. Yes, the oringes of the word truth. eom

4. The citizens that have been seized by a coup usually have no idea what to believe when coming from

a dictatorial regime and a dictator, which is exactly where we are. A dictatorship. And donald j. tRump, of all people, is your new dictator.

I mean, isn't that exactly where we are? An powerless Congress. A compormised Justice Dept. No State Dept. Seizure of DHS. And, why is the military so quiet these days? And how the laws do not apply to tRump. The continuous evil being perpetrated on immigrants and against women and POC. The open white supremacy and the praising of white supremacists as "good people".

And so much more evil that I could ever list...

Hmmmm......

[Iliyah]

9. Congress is not powerless.

[DontBooVote]

10. Show me where they have power. Convince me whatever they do won't just be ignored.

[Ohioboy]

13. The Democrats are trying,

but Congress was designed to act as a whole when it comes to checking the executive branch.

[DontBooVote]

15. It was designed to be populated by representatives of The People, who it was assumed would be

honorable people who would serve with a sense of duty and honor.

What we have is a political party that has perpetrated a coup and installed a dictator, with the assistance of a foreign adversary who purchased said political party and used it to seized all the levers of our government. Meanwhile, they're planning military parade in our new dictator's honor on July 4.

All as we watch(ed). Our children will pay for this, and so will us Democrats, Liberals, and Progressives.

[Ohioboy]

11. You are so correct it's scary

It seems all the checks and balances our founding fathers put in place have been nullified. The three branches of government can't check each other if a certain party(republicans) allows Congress to give more power to the executive branch. Add to that vilification of the press, promotion of propaganda, and a whole lot of hate and fear, and you have everything needed to destroy this great country.

12. Once Barr shut down the Mueller investigation and seized Mueller's work and the evidence,

that was the end of America as we have known it.

Why? Because we just sat around and watched it and kvetched as it happened.

And, soon, they will come for us.

[Shell_Seas]

5. Barr said that yesterday....

[Ohioboy]

6. If it's fake news it's coming from the right

Hannity and Limbaugh have both talked about this. They and their followers think this is where the deep state is going to be exposed and taken down by God given Trump.

[arthritisR_US]

7. The truth does not lie with Barr.

[budkin]

8. It was obvious from the moment Trump nominated him that he was in the bag

And here we are...

[librechik]

16. Oranges n/t

[Takket]

17. Barr said he believed there was a "bias"

Amazing he can make that conclusion on zero evidence but he was able to tell in a day that the mueller found “no collusion”. Fuck this traitor.
