Former Deputy AG Under Bush Calls For Barr To Resign | Morning Joe | MSNBC
“Criminal Republicans” is redundant.
Excellently said.
Cool username!!! The avatar’s a perfect candidate for the Presidential Portrait Gallery……. face of the legacy.
Hey look its the russian with his many fake accounts. God your all beyond sad
THERE HASN’T BEEN A REAL REPUBLICAN PATRIOT IN THE WHITE HOUSE SINCE Dwight D Eisenhower. And that’s just what we need now a Miltitary hero to sweep all those Russian Red Mad Hatter’s off to jail. Too bad the Dixicrats hijacked the GOP and made it a party first before country organization. A fools gold group of political scavengers & Christian hypocrisy.
Is it any mystery why Trump calls him his best decision ever? Singe the fudging of the Mueller report this man ignores law for what he “feels” is right.America has no AG currently by the definition of the position.
@HeavierThanLight Lightweight unicorn rainbow goblin !
@Chas Murphy. . . The House vote is not required and is not written anywhere as being required. You’re a propaganda craphole.
@Lord Of Light. . . And how does that make you feel?
@Fish Shoes. . . . You conspiracy idiots just don’t seem to learn. Maybe you can’t!
Im not surprised lol thats what you expect to happen in third world countries like the US ^^
At least Trump managed to reveal how utterly corrupt the Republican party has become. Most all of them willing to sacrifice democracy and go full fascism in order to stay in power.
@Tor Finn, ipso facto, you trumpturds really are a special kind of stupid!
@F. S. , ipso facto, you trumpturds really are a special kind of stupid!
@Wes Bernard, ipso facto, you trumpturds really are a special kind of stupid! Learn to differentiate “your” and “you’re” before you utter such ignorant speech.
@Tor Finn, again, , ipso facto, you trumpturds really are a special kind of stupid!
@Wes Bernard , again, ipso facto, you trumpturds really are a special kind of stupid! You are truly an embarrassment to the education system. You sound like drumpf: “I know words, I know the best words”, yet the words you speak demonstrate your inferior intellect. Like your orange idol, you might be a good narcissist and bully, but the words you have used here demonstrate your obnoxious character!
Republican senators and representatives are just as culpable as Barr… they’ve all got to be voted out before all our rights and beliefs are gone…
Wonder Wonderful : Well, I’m in one of those red states, and dems are on the opposite end of just about every issue you can name. So, voting blue is out of the question. By the way, lose the CNN & MSNBC rhetoric.
Chelle Chelle : Whether they did or whether they didn’t is not the issue here. It’s democrats dealing with the fact that so many do not want their alternative, and do not buy the CNN & MSNBC rhetoric.
EXACTLY!! WELL STATE D RANDY
EXCEPT SENATOR MITT ROMNEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Barr needs to go , He’s perverted our Justice Department.
@Gary Vance He was impeached . It is the Senates right to decide punishment they chose not to .
@Draka Dog They Acquit him. Nice word Acquit. Do you know the meaning. To let go free innocent of all charges.
So the congress impeached witch means investigated and recommended a hearing to try the case. The senate looked at the evidence and Acquitted. Let go innocent of all charges. Lmao
He is EXPOSING the ROT!!!! But you people LOVE rot, hey, don’t want them straight. Sick people.
@Gary Vance What evidence was looked at . Many of his own party said he was guilty , but the crime of which he was guilty of did not deserve punishment as severe as removal from office .
@Gary Vance Sorry if i am repeating myself but my reply got dropped . The definition of trial includes ” a formal examination of evidence ” . No evidence was allowed or witness called .
He should be disbarred and license revoked. He no longer acts in the capacity of an attorney but some henchman
Im not surprised lol thats what you expect to happen in third world countries like the US ^^
@Dae Dotfan19 If You wrote full sentences,not used of commas when they are not needed, You wouldn’t sound ignorant either.
@Jeffrey Hagelin but like people said. Those were some weak articles,which Senate literally just swept aside. All this millions wasted on BS.
@Homer Simpson GED?. That teaches You absolutely nothing.Doesnt the people have higher goals in education than that?.
@Robert Zajkowski 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
And they say the Democratic socialist are the problem
@Bubbles Pathetic fool. Is that your best?
People called FDR a “socialist” and a “communist.” And guess what happened..? FDR not only led us out of the Great Depression, but he also led this country into the greatest era of growth and prosperity that America has ever known.
@Don Johnson Go back to Miami Don, the snowflake unicorn rainbow goblins are waiting for you in the hotel room you rented last spring.
@Bubbles Maybe you should do a bit of research about something called Popper’s Paradox of Tolerance. Basically it says if you tolerate the intolerant, you end up with an intolerant society. Which is why it’s OK to execute nazis and punch alt right bloggers. Because if we don’t, they take over and we all suffer. My grandfather won medals for killing Nazis. Which side did you grandfather fight for?
Barr’s resignation is long overdue the moment he stuck his ugly nose 👃 into legal cases in doing trumps bid was the moment he abused his office of oath to the America people
@rich tracy
Very original material. Classic drumpf cultist, no imagination.
You really show us just how ignorant the left had become. Hissy fit upon hissy fit, hyperventilation, smearing, abusing, and always loving the corrupt and the criminal. You people are completely brainwashed, and need a good reality check. Your president is brilliant against the old hacks you have, hacks taht is so far left, they had become communists.
@Christien du Preez your president.
@Christien du Preez
You sound like a stark raving lunatic suffering the effects of Stockholm Syndrome..
These last three years as a programmed drumpf cultist have fried your cranium and destroyed what’s left of your limited thought process. Good luck with your theropy.
@Christien du Preez
Your president, YOUR mess.
“Disbarr Bill Barr” would make a great headline or protest sign message
@Jillian Adele Yes. DISBARR BILL BARR!!
NPC University ! We should protest # orange man bad # not my president . . . Meanwhile ! The left ignores the dems corruption. It’s pathetic how brainwashed the left wing propaganda goblins are. Very narrow minded view with a huge lack of common sense, brainwashed by liberal institutions and the MSM. Pathetic but hilarious !
The crooks must go, the people the run the show!
Oh yes, you better rename the dem party to “The Communist Protest party”.
Please ignore the bots and trolls, do not engage. Register with MoveOn.Org and petition to demand Barr’s resignation. Call your state reps (202) 224-3121. We will no longer quietly tolerate this fascist, corrupt AG!
The streets of America should be like the streets of Hong Kong last year. The very foundations of American and Western democracy and freedom are being attacked by domestic enemies.
*RISE!*
@Gabriel White AS WE DID TO END THE VIET NAM WAR
Tessmage Tessera Trump 2020!
@None Blank You’re so cute. Did you know that Trump can’t win without votes..?
Vote!
Those Republithug Senators should also resign – all have their heads up T’s Rump.
And every word on the op-Ed is completely truthful!
Far more truthful than anything to come from Trump’s idiotic tweets.
What is he hiding? Was he or people he knows involved in Epstein scandal.
There must be a connection with all this people protecting themselves. Just saying.
Barr’s father was involved with Epstein from the very start.
I have no doubt that Barr was instrumental in organizing his assassination.
@Antony Stringfellow so that is the connection. And why nobody in the news talks about it.
Cover up even the news.
!surprise!
Yes
POTUS is still counting his Rubles ???
Good guess
Barr was appointed precisely because he auditioned as a rogue Attorney General.
@Jim Reynolds Register with MoveOn.Org and petition to demand Barr’s resignation. Join a local protest or organize one. Call your state reps (202) 224-3121.
The candidate you can most safely bet will enact POTUS-restraining legislative amendments before the end of his first term, is Bernie Sanders. For real, the POTUS seat deserves a period of slightly diminished influence after the Trump soiling.
“Auditioned”
Great wording.
@Jim Reynolds WE HAVE TO UNITE TO VOTE THE HEATHEN ANTI CHRIST OUT OF GOVERNMENT
@Wonder Wonderful BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY
“The higher you climb a ladder, the more your behind is exposed!” A wise man.
J.R. 48 ………..Exactly 👍🏻😂
@beth robb ; Hello , did you read my comment at the top of the column ? About my deportation in 2001, after living in America for 45 yrs. ?
J.R. 48 No, I have not, can you send it again, that ! I need to read, please.!!
@beth robb J.R. 48

I got no Pardon ! After living in America 45 yrs. Serving in Military 3 yrs. Spent 3 yrs. in Prison for carrying an illegal substance (28 grams ) across county lines . Deported in 2001. Children grew up in America without me. Haven’t seen them or my grandchildren . Can Not Return , it’s been 19 yrs.as of today . Tell me is that Okay ? I’m 71 yrs. of age now living in a country I’ve come to like as well as it’s people . But lost my family .
J.R. 48 I am so sorry you have had to go through so much, it is certainly a tragedy to be separated from your family for so long. Where were you deported to?….When I think of what Trump is doing, getting these people out of prison that have done a lot more than you did, this is ludicrous. This is how you are repaid for your military service!! I think you were handed a cruel hand. I am glad you like where you are now, I hope you find some happiness. I also wish your children would reach out to you. Life is too short, we have to try and make everyday meaningful. I Wish you the best.👍🏻🙏🏽
Who would have ever believed so many politicians could be so corrupt? We have to thank/blame trump for revealing just how vulnerable our democracy is.
@Christien du Preez Read much? Obviously you haven’t been paying attention to all Trumps associates who’ve been put in jail since this corrupt establishment has been in office. Birds of a feather…
What democracy would that be? What exactly are you blaming on President Trump? I agree on the corrupt politician thang, no matter the party…
@LC You mean the ones that have been conned by the Corrupt FBI? the ones that will all be free soon, and those skunks put away. You mean the man who was put away because an attorney in the FBI changed an email from the CIA that said YES he was working undercover for them, to NO? The one that was threatened about his family? That is all being looked at, and the perpetrators will soon get their dues. Me thinky, you start ready.
Any man who turns his back against the country and its foundation, deserves to be facing the wall of a jail-cell.
Lock Barr up!
@James Carter Wakey, wakey! Have you seen the hacks hobbling the Dem election trail? The newest is the biggest racist and sexist, Bloom, that ever ran for office. And of course, the least whiff of BAD, and the left loves the person.
@Allen Yeong Past crimes me dear. many, many being exposed.
@James Carter Maybe that is why FOX numbers swelled by MILLIONS, while fake news are way down. CNN is down to a miserable 600,000.
@Raoul Fleckman You are afraid of Barr because he is smoking out your heroes, the ones of whom a few are on a list for jailtime. But, as I observe from my corner of the planet, do a crime, become a lefty darlen. Wonder how long before Durham will come under fire, as HE is the one with all the damning evidence about the communist dem hacks, and the corrupt bunch in the FBI. Interesting times coming, as the corrupt judges are also being smoked out.
“Government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the Earth.” Seems like this no longer applies.
Alex Bestoso mulan labbe
Bring it on!
Send Trump on a one way ticket to the sun yesterday.
He may try to become the king of kings, but it could never happen. He just doesn’t have the intellect to do so. His children and son in-law is the real crazy genius in operation
I bet that bone spurs won’t even hurt walking on, walking on the moon.
Barr: “I’m doing everything I can to destroy the rule of law, and maintain the cover-up so the American people don’t see what I’m doing — then Trump blew the whistle on me!”
Hahahahaha you ppl are nuts.
FAT BILLY LOW BARR SHOULD BE HUNG ON THE WH LAWN ON LIVE TV FOR TREASON TO AMERICA
Well they are the fucuplicans.
Remember: Accepting a pardon implies guilt admission.
Please
