    1. He, Barr, knows exactly what he’s doing, protecting Trump Inc post election, from the criminal charges that will head their way, watch this space for more insurance policies from Barr and Trump… …..

    2. @Madeleine Backlund No idea. More than my salary for sure. That and plus x amount under the table.

    3. All the while, they are wondering why the buffoon can’t drink from a glass of water with just one hand.

  1. So manafort will be getting that pardon that Rudy promised him from impeached trumpee. Of course the prez can pardon anyone but the manafort problem is one of the obstructions listed in the Mueller report.

  2. I’ve said it before and will say it again , trump has expose the under belly of America law and practice, what has to be done by any and all new administration is to seal all back doors and put new procedures in place to ensure all the loop holes that trump and his lackeys has used is eliminated permanently.

    1. That shd include never again allowing one man to have so much power, for so long: Mitch McConnell. Judges to be appointed by an independent panel, not by politicians. And remove a president’s power to fire Inspectors General. They are supposed to be independent, so shd not be subjected to a would be dictator’s whim.

    2. John Smith, exactly right. Trump has found every single loophole that allowed him to get away with criminal activity. These loopholes must be closed! Our new Congress and Senate had better do their jobs!

    3. @Michele Z well said and exactly right! Lets get those changes made. Us…we have to demand these changes and never allow ourselves to become complacent ever again. That’s what happened…and the EVIL took advantage of it.

    4. Well what we all need to do is realise that we have some spineless sniffling, castrated individuals who call themselves men, who’s concern with their little power they have, than with the oath they took to defend the constitution from all those who would seek to distort and ignore it foreign and domestic, vote these spineless worms out and let’s take back the power that belong to the people , it suppose to be a government by the people for the people, in all my years America has stood as the light on the hill leading by example for the world to follow, so many countries are in a better position now because the followed the example of America and took back their power, now we the people must once again rise to the call to ensure our kids and their kids can have the strong ideals that can be America.

  3. If AG Holder had dismissed a US Attorney investigating associates of Barack Obama you would see conservatives rioting. Fox News heads would explode.

    We are so inured to what is blatant corruption our collective reaction is still “meh, that’s Trump for ya”

    1. @Paul Wilson Very little “rioting and looting” going on. In Tulsa there was one arrest-for trespass. It’s a national protest to fix problems.

    2. @Kay Clark call it what you want but there were still tens of thousands of people out protesting, rioting, and looting in the last 2 weeks… hundreds of millions in property damage of business owners that had nothing to do with floyd…

    3. Mr. Wilson, the overwhelming majority of protesters were peaceful,and the FBI confirmed that internet posts attributed to ANTIFA encouraging violence and rioting were actually posted by white supremacist groups intent on discrediting ANTIFA. Also several looters and vandals were members of right wing groups, and the peace officer who was killed was killed by a right wing terrorist intent on discrediting ANTIFA. So I guess if you want to use generalizations, then the protesters were all peaceful, and the looters and vandals were all members of right wing terrorist groups. There were also protesters that stopped looting at risk to themselves.

    1. @Donald Martin What is he supposed to come out for? What are you expecting from him? He’s not an elected official, Yet.

    2. @Donald Martin we want a leader to show what real Americans do to become strong,smart & plan for a future. tRump is an example of exactly what not to follow. Only chumps are wearing maggot hats these days.

    3. *~ MEDIAN HOUSEHOLD INCOME GAINS ~*
      Nov 7th

      up $401 in 8 years under Bush

      up $1,043 in 8 years under Obama

      up $5,240 in <3 years under Trump

      The tax cut also added an additional $2,500 to a typical family of four’s after-tax incomes. So after taking account of taxes owed, the income of most middle-class families is up closer to $6,000 in the Trump era.

  4. Some administrations have teams of people coaching on issues and policy. This administration has teams teaching on how to drink a glass or bottle of water. Taxpayer money well spent.

  5. *If POTUS Trump is a bad cartoon character . . then . . AG Barr is ‘Fred Flintstone’ in a cheap suit . . and Stephen Miller is a ‘Young Mr Burns’ . . and John Bolton is “The Lorax”*

    1. @Jen Robbie
      You’re just mad because she took your corner.
      You should just go home and find your safe space.

  6. I believe our country is in danger because the people who are supposed to check & balance have forgotten what their roles are 🇺🇸🙉🙈🙊

    1. 👄They haven’t forgotten their roles!! They are blocked at every turn by trump and barr misusing the DOJ!!

  7. *🤯This WH is no longer capable of speaking ANY truth, under this President!*

    *🙏🏻Please God, save America from this GOP!*

    1. Praying for your country. Hope trump is out in November. It’s best not only for the Us but also for the world.

    2. Relying on “god” put Trump where he is.
      Mobilize yourselves, your friends, and anyone you can get hold of to vote Democrat in November.

  8. He served 3 other president’s and hasn’t said anything bad about them I believe everything he says.

    1. the only reason I vote blue is because to corrupt voting system left me no choose its the dummy Biden of the dummy dummy dummy Trump

    2. @Viviann Sevier You don’t live here TROLL. You are a PAID TROLL. JOE BIDEN WILL BE THE NEXT PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES!!

    3. @Eddy Dishart not dumb enough to troll a Democrat media source a Democrat owned MSNBC news source and DEMOCRAT comment section. Now , about YOUR educational history trolltard….🙄

    1. Grim Reefer Half the world feels sorry for Americans the other can’t believe they ever feared such morons.
      MAGA? WHEN? WHERE? Only 6 months left to do that.

    1. They could have video of trumpy killing children and he still would not be impeached by the senate

  9. barr is a russian asset just like his master dump and Moscow mitch McTraitor.
    Along with the republickin party of criminals.

  10. This government stinks from being rotten to the core.The American people must act to save our country and the future of our children. It’s our duty.
