Barr's argument against his own department is a major disconnect.

[Baitball Blogger]

He sees it as a Civil Liberties concern that someone would use the apparatus of the State against an opponent! WTF? What about what your boss did, Mr. Kettle?

It also seems like sour grapes because Barr is upset that information was uncovered that has created this problem for his boss-god. It's not enough that Trump has tried to silence the witnesses. Barr was expected to stop the investigators from investigating.

What a travesty.

You should see the NBC NEWs Exclusive with Barr. It's major rabbit hole nonsense.

1. Barr thought he was hiring someone who would produce the Report

that Barr and Trump wanted.

Instead, the IG wrote the truth.

12. I believe the IG

was appointed by Obama back in 2012.

special prosecutor/counsel John Durham is the one hand picked by Barr and he's still investigating

3. What a lying a-hole

So deceptive and manipulative. Fuck him and his opus dei spank monkeys.

4. Barr argues the Russia investigation was opened on the flimsiest of excuses

And opens an investigation on the origins of the investigation using even flimsier excuses.

6. i can't listen to him.

will take your word for it. his voice is more jarring to me than trump's.

7. Aren't his investigations of the investigation a matter of using the apparatus of the state

against Trump's opponents?

8. Its almost surreal at this point

Its very clear the only "outrage" is that the investigation uncovered that Trump isn't "the good guy".

Jesus Christ, can't anyone ask why he is so upset that INDICTMENTS and PLEA BARGAINS were achieved? Will anyone stop him and ask, "Isn't it great that we caught the hackers and got plea bargains from others who committed crimes?". What.The.Ever.Loving.Fuck?

Further, will someone point out that Donald Trump wasn't the opponent of anyone involved in the investigation? Trump is the only one "using an apparatus of the State" to against an opponent.

Congress must impeach this criminal NOW. This alternate reality he is engaging in over the IG report is clear reason.

9. Can we throw in an AOI against Barr too?

He's clearly enabling Trump in his insanity, abuses of power. There are supposed to be proper channels for investigating these kind of things and just because those channels don't say what they want them to say, doesn't mean that they can just keep going at it or going around it. While a President uncovering a "Deep State" plot to remove him/her and/or a Foreign Power being falsely accused of rigging an election to help a President's former political rival might make for some gripping Tom Clancy thriller novels, they obviously don't reside within the realm of current reality.
