MSNBC ripping Barr a new one.

[madaboutharry]

Brian Williams: "Well, I guess we have an Attorney General who decided to have his legacy be "I took one for the team."

Nicole Wallace and Neal Kaytal agreeing that this was complete bullshit.

Nicole Wallace is majorly pissed off. I love her.

1. And So 'The Barr Brawl' Begins.....nt

[lagomorph777]

19. Hah! Just don't let Felix Sater get in there...

that could be ugly.

[C_U_L8R]

27. No Barr is too low

[Sherman A1]

2. Here's a tip

They don’t care what MSNBC says or reports.

[LovingA2andMI]

10. Nope....

Or anyone else for that matter.

[lagomorph777]

20. Here's another:

I don't care what "they" think.

[IADEMO2004]

3. Brian Williams: Barr gave a victim impact statement in advance.

Poor pResident was under too much stress and sounded obstructioney

[JaneQPublic]

4. Mrs. Betty Bowers on that subject

===============

"According to the Attorney General, you are allowed to obstruct justice if you are mad or sulking about law enforcement investigating possible crimes you committed. Good to know."

[IADEMO2004]

5. She is an excellent and dependable counter puncher.

[Lucky Luciano]

16. One of my favorites!! nt

[malaise]

41. Well said

Barr should be disbarred - that was lying on steroids

[Wounded Bear]

6. Nicole Wallace is a Republican who doesn't like what has happened to her party...

she's still conservative, but she's a patriot first.

[FakeNoose]

7. I respect her and I think she's great on MSNBC

She's got a lot of fans here on DU, at least for now. I like that Nicole has opinions and she lets us know what they are. Far better to do that than to play the "both sides" game.

[Moostache]

23. Did you see the HBO "Game Change" movie? (With Julianne Moore as Palin?)

Nicole Wallace (acted by Sarah Paulson I believe) came across extremely sympathetically in that portrayal. I think that film kick started a rehabilitation for her in many ways...then the MSNBC show and renouncing Republicans due to the Trump stain and circus went the rest of the way.

[oasis]

31. Nicolle Wallace hammering Trump's lawyer, Jay Seculow. Her voice raised

to slightly below yell level. Ari Melber jumps in on a tag team of Seculow.

[Wounded Bear]

38. I saw just a bit of that...

took me a minute to recognize Sekulow, then I turned it off.

[mainstreetonce]

8. It should be an impeachable offense

By Barr

[yaesu]

9. herr hitler is about to speak, backing up his propaganda minister. nt

[ancianita]

11. Lawyer Maya Wylie laid out all the evidence that the founders would impeach this lizard prez over.

[calimary]

12. Guess you could call this "Barr the Door Day".

Barr sure tried one heluva block 'n' tackle to protect trump just now.

[eShirl]

13. Hodor of politics

[cstanleytech]

14. So has anyone filed ethics complaints with the bar association Barr is registered with?

If not then maybe someone should because its clear he is not fit to have a license to practice law.

[SergeStorms]

15. And on FOX...

an alternate reality is unfolding. Judge Neapolitan (or whatever his name is) says Democrats will not let this go and the political "witch hunt" will continue. Brit Hume actually parroted MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell's statement that "This is just the end of the beginning" on this matter. That surprised me. Everyone else is singing the praises of their hero, Donnie Dim-Wit. That's all I could take. No one should be subjected to bullshit like that for too long.

I need a shower. I need two showers.

[Pluvious]

24. You are strong and brave - thank you for your sacrifice

I'm going into a RW Inlaws gathering in a few days.

I will be having no alcohol, must keep my cool, and recover from the exposure.

These just can't be normal times mon.

[gratuitous]

17. "Took one for the team"?

One what? From what I see, Barr is still Attorney General, still acting like he's the President's personal attorney instead of head of the Justice Department. What is this "one" Barr is supposed to have taken, Brian Williams?

[lagomorph777]

21. He flushed whatever legacy he might have still had, down the toilet.

Not that he gives a shit.

[Nay]

34. Why would he care? He'll have all the money he needs, friends in high places, and a cushy

retirement. Unlike the rest of us poor bastards.

[lagomorph777]

39. That cushy retirement may not be in a location of his choosing.

Ask John Mitchell.

[Nay]

40. I just looked it up -- it seems that Mitchell spent 19 months in jail.

"Mitchell served only 19 months of his sentence at Federal Prison Camp, Montgomery (in Maxwell Air Force Base) in Montgomery, Alabama, a minimum-security prison, before being released on parole for medical reasons."

By the end of 1976, he was out of jail and lived in DC for another 11 years, when he dropped dead on a sidewalk in Georgetown.

The problem has always been that these sorts of people never get enough actual jail time, in an actually shitty prison, for them to be very worried about being jailed. It's just a "cost of doing business," not a true deterrent.

[lagomorph777]

42. Personally, I would not be happy about a year and a half in jail.

And a doughy old man would probably enjoy it even less.

[Nay]

43. I'm sure he wasn't happy, but I'm also sure other inmates did not mess with him, and

things were made as pleasant as possible for him. And he was wealthy when he got out, just like when he went in. It's hardly a crushing sentence. Unlike for the poor people who get railroaded into jail for minor crimes. I am convinced that Mitchell has spent more time in jail than any Trump family members will, though.

[lagomorph777]

44. ...sigh... you are probably correct.

Mafia Don Turd, Turd Jr, and Barbie & Jared Turd will probably walk. But will be a little poorer, having trashed their brand.

18. link to the full, redacted report

[eppur_se_muova]

22. Thanks ! Shouldn't this be its own OP ? Oops, never mind, it's already on the home page. nt

[Hortensis]

25. Barr's "took one for the team" spin is propaganda itself.

He is The People's attorney and completely betrayed his duty to the nation. I am hoping for ultimate criminal prosecution. If he can't be, his unprecedented criminality reveals another hole on our system that must be patched.

[Honeycombe8]

26. What is bs? The report? The Mueller decisions not to prosecute? The redactions?

Seems to me there is evidence beyond a reasonable doubt for both conspiring with the Russians and obstruction. Strongest case for obstruction. The only reason Mueller wasn't fired at Trump's request is that the staffers wouldn't do it. The ONLY reason.

So it seems like Mueller is saying, "Trump was unsuccessful. So, no obstruction that rises to a legal level."

[madaboutharry]

28. Barr's bullshit press conference

twisting and sugar coating the report to protect Trump.

[Honeycombe8]

29. Oh, I didn't see that. I don't have cable.

And my internet has been out, so couldn't stream anything.

[neohippie]

30. Barr lied about everything in the Mueller report

Mueller's intentions were clearly spelled out let Congress decide

[Capperdan]

32. This is how I felt on November 9, 2016

We lose again. Democracy loses. I'm losing interest.

[TommyCelt]

33. I'm losing hope.... nt

[democratisphere]

35. Barr should resign his office today.

This AG is a criminal.

[RAMS38]

36. Barr Goebbels

no collusion, no obstruction.

[gopiscrap]

45. welcome to DU
