@senkamalaharris:
Attorney General Barr is privately meeting with Senate Republicans today instead of testifying and allowing Democratic Senators to hear from him too.
This is unacceptable. Barr must testify immediately.

(13,571 posts)God only knows why Dems gave him six plus weeks to wait to testify.
WHY???
I want to scream that at the Capitol Building.

Can you imagine if this were reversed with Obama's DOJ meeting in private with just Dems???????

(21 posts)He needs to be subpoenaed and brought to the House to answer questions IMMEDIATELY. Why did Speaker Pelosi allow this. This is the biggest story of the day, not all the constant attempts out there to whack Sen Sanders

(9,426 posts)After all, he works only for the republican president, doesn't he? Maybe the democratic constituents should demand their share of his salary back, since he is tRump's personal lawyer, not the position he is supposed to fill.

I still retain some hope of chasing it down, and wrangling it back to shore.

(14,337 posts)My gut feeling is it would be hard to stop him from attending. Theyd need a reason to disinvite him, but all they have is Trump doesnt like you.
Then again, they should let Democrats attend too, so WTF do I know.

(17,865 posts)As the Bill Clinton Loretta Lynch runway meeting. Because it sure is a whole lot more corrupt.
Qutzupalotl
(14,337 posts)and I havent seen any real coverage of the meeting. I guess no press got wind of it and none of the Republicans are leaking.
The only way I can spin this into a positive for us is maybe Barr was not able to shut down all investigations into Trump, and is telling Republicans to prepare for blowback. I heard that Berman in SDNY is not playing ball with Barr and is proceeding with whatever hes working on. But I really dont know.

(17,865 posts)He is the AG of the entire country. Of course he has to talk with the President, but it looks shifty as hell to only talk to one party. Anything he has to say impacts all of Congress, not just one party. He is our AG - not the GOPs.
Why doesn't want of the candidates start the drumbeat on this. BARR'S CORRUPT MEETING.

(14,337 posts)Possibly a heads up or coordination of strategy. But in any event, excluding Democrats is inexcusable. As others here noted, we all pay his salary, and not to prop up a dictator.
