It's being reported by our agencies, that Russians interfering again, is already on steroids, doing it again..... right now, for 2020.Pleas Impeach Trump. I implore you. Please
Trump should not YET be impeached.......The fucking moron has not fully destroyed the GOP.....It is much better to keep that CLOUD of deception having over his orange hairpiece.......Look at his fucking DISapproval ratings....
So, yes, don;t impeach him now to make him look like a martyr.......Let him DEFY laws and protocols and let voters (not his moronic cult) JUDGE how truly corrupt this charlatan really is.....LOL
Don't underestimate, the power of the Dark Side.
also, Bush 2 was reelected, and no one was happy with him on either side of the aisle in 2004 yet he was still elected.
doing the right and just thing, imo, will win out, in the end... the road may be more complicated and bumps may be there, but what is right, is right...
putting it off, will come back to bite us in other ways.
as example, what if the Democrats choose not to impeach for his never ending abuses of power, and he is reelected...?
If impeachment hearings did not happen with everything including several counts of obstruction of an official investigation, as just one of his episodes of lawlessness....
what will it be like when or if he was re-elected? The complete end of this once great Nation is at stake! Even if he is not convicted in the Senate, the effort was made to stop him and the public would be more aware of the lawlessness, and this will curb his future lawless actions, some... you would think?
This is such a slippery slope for all future presidents as well... his lawlessness and usurping of power away from us, away from our only representation in Congress, is NOT in any way, shape or form, good for "we the people" and this democratic republic.... imo.

Do you ever get tired of Trump spanking your ass daily? Maddow, we got him. I got his tax returns. Come to find out he paid more percentage than Obama. Collusion Muller 's got him, no collusion. You're still beating that dead horse. Lol, you thought for sure you had him with the grabbing pussy commit. Still feel relevant? LolView attachment 258323View attachment 258320Yes it did prove that the Obama administration is the most corrupt in history. Is that why you hate Barr?
NO......I hate Barr for being a Trump ass kisser and a selfish stooge who swore an oath to Trump and NOT the entire American citizenry.
Basically, Barr is a fat WHORE to Trump......
Now you hate him?
The above IDIOT has "chosen" (actually he can't really choose since its AGAINST CULT POLICIES) to believe Barr and NOT what Mueller actually wrote................THAT may be the problem with most Trump morons....they can't fucking READ.....
LMAO
MORON.....use your half brain.....
Trump should be GRATEFUL to the FBI for winning the election......
Comey, came out and stated ELEVEN days before the 2016 election that the FBI was reopening an investigation on Hillary......BUT, never told voters that the Trump campaign was ALSO under investigation for having several members of Trump's campaign urging Russia to help Trump.

The latest rumor is that Barr will show up to face the Republican majority in the Senate hearings this Wednesday, but may REFUSE to testify before the Democrat majority in the House hearings this upcoming Thursday.
Can anyone argue that Barr is NOT a Trump stooge whose ONLY role as AG is to cover-up for Trump?
Barr is AG for ONLY the 35% of the Trump cult and is AFRAID to be questioned by democrats as they would compare the WRITTEN statements by Mueller versus the partisan "summary" that Barr gave in his blatant attempt to "exonerate" his new-found hero........Trump.
My contention is that Barr......who clearly "auditioned" Trump to get the AG job.....is now ALSO auditioning for a SCOTUS slot if and when it opens up during the next 18 months.
Basically, Barr has become a cheap whore to Trump for his own selfish ambitions.....readily willing to give up his once decent reputation for a life-time position in the Supreme Court.
Shameful, corrupt and anti-democratic behavior.
Barr is NOT AG of the once proud Justice Department......He is "AG" of the Trump corrupt regime......

Want some cheese with that whine?
/----/ "TEN incidents where Trump OBSTRUCTED justice..."Mueller's job was to determine Trump Guilty or Not Guilty.
NO, fuckhead.....THAT was NOT Mueller's job......That what Hannity told you to believe....
Mueller was working under the DOJ clear policy that a sitting president CANNOT be indicted......
What Mueller did is lay out TEN incidents where Trump OBSTRUCTED justice.....Incidents that could and will have Trump indicted once he leaves office........READ THE FUCKING REPORT, moron.
So where are the indictments?

GET THAT THROUGH YOUR HEAD BY ASKING YOUR MOMMY FOR HELP.
From trying to usurp congress's power of the purse, to ending the nuke treaty with Putin without congress, to his cabinet breaking the law and having them be put in for the oppositie purpose of why the Cabinet and department purpose was initiated by Congress, like the EPA directors was suppose to be environmental protections for "we the people" for us but he heads them with people with the exact opposite intentions from the oil or coal industry etc, puts a person to head up our public schools who is against public schools, etc...., to calling National Emergencies when there is none, to Obstructing an Official investigation in to his campaign team and himself, to denying the white house counsel from testifying for an executive privilege that he already gave up, to having his kids claim an executive privilege that they do not have, when testifying before congress, to dangling pardons and threatening witnesses, to interviewing the AG's for the States he does business in, to asking and demanding AG's who ethically followed the rules to recuse themselves, UN-RECUSE themselves, like Sessions and the AG from the southern district of NY that he put in, to not replacing Secretaries with people so they can be affirmed by the Senate and using "Acting" heads that are not given consent by the Senate as our Constitution demanded for good reason, etc etc etc etc etc etc.... the president is a man of lawlessness, and has abused his presidential power.Should Congress find evidence? At this point I think the real question is how much more evidence do they need to find.uh, yeah, it pretty much means that...Congress is a co-equal branch of government. That’s not opinion, that’s in the constitution. For people to not show up to Congress once they’re called means they could be subpoenaed and if they refuse the subpoena they could be jailed and even fined $25,000.........a day.Your parroted opinion is not proof.time to impeach...
Even if he is not convicted in the Senate....
and even if Democrats lose their asses in 2020....
We are suppose to be a Nation of Laws, and NOT of men....
This president SPITS on that and the constitution and in Faithfully executing the Law of this land derived from it.
Turning a blind eye to lawlessness is not an option, imho.
That’s not opinion. That’s the way it works. So before you make yourself look even more ridiculous, do a little research and find out the truth.
Co-equal does not mean "I say you do."
Key Takeaways: Congressional Oversight
The scope of Congress’ powers of oversight extends to virtually all programs, activities, regulations, and polices implemented by the presidential cabinet departments, independent executive agencies, regulatory boards and commissions, and the President of the United States. Should Congress find evidence that an agency has incorrectly applied or exceeded its powers, Congress can pass a law overruling the action or narrowing the agency’s regulatory authority. Congress can also limit an agency’s power by reducing its funding in the annual federal budget process.
- Congressional oversight refers to the power of the U.S. Congress to monitor and change, if necessary, the actions of the executive branch, including the many federal agencies.
- The main goals of congressional oversight are preventing waste, fraud, and abuse, and protecting rights and civil liberties.
- Congressional oversight is one of the “implied” powers granted to Congress by the “necessary and proper” clause of the Constitution.
- In empowering the legislative branch of government to oversee the executive branch, congressional oversight forms a key element of the system of checks and balances of power.
Oversight Definition
Dictionaries define “oversight” as “watchful and responsible care.” In the context of congressional oversight, this “watchful and responsible care” is applied through a wide variety of congressional activities, including detailed investigations of program spending appropriations and re-authorizations requests. Oversight may be conducted by standing and select congressional committees, and through reviews and studies conducted by congressional support agencies and staff.
In Congress, oversight comes in many forms including:
- Hearings and investigations conducted by the standing or special congressional committees;
- Consulting with or getting reports directly from the president;
- Giving its advice and consent for certain high-level presidential nominations and for treaties;
- Impeachment proceedings conducted in the House and tried in the Senate;
- House and Senate proceedings under the 25th Amendment should the president become disabled, or the office of the vice president becomes vacant;
- Senators and Representatives serving on presidentially-appointed commissions; and
- Special studies conducted by congressional committees and support agencies such as the Congressional Budget Office, the General Accountability Office, the Office of Technology Assessment, and the Congressional Research Service.

Mueller could have recommended indictment, then Barr could have cited DOJ policy, and Congress could have run with it. The simple fact is that there is no basis for an obstruction charge, and that is not based on DOJ or Constitutional considerations, but the lack of evidence:
from Barr's letter to committee chairmen:
"The Special Counsel’s decision to describe the facts of his obstruction investigation without reaching any legal conclusions leaves it to the Attorney General to determine whether the conduct described in the report constitutes a crime. Over the course of the investigation, the Special Counsel’s office engaged in discussions with certain Department officials regarding many of the legal and factual matters at issue in the Special Counsel’s obstruction investigation. After reviewing the Special Counsel’s final report on these issues; consulting with Department officials, including the Office of Legal Counsel; and applying the principles of federal prosecution that guide our charging decisions, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and I have concluded that the evidence developed during the Special Counsel’s investigation is not sufficient to establish that the President committed an obstruction-of-justice offense. Our determination was made without regard to, and is not based on, the constitutional considerations that surround the indictment and criminal prosecution of a sitting president.
(Footnote 2: See A Sitting President’s Amenability to Indictment and Criminal Prosecution, 24 Op. O.L.C, 222 (2000).)
In making this determination, we noted that the Special Counsel recognized that “the evidence does not establish that the President was involved in an underlying crime related to Russian election interference,” and that, while not determinative, the absence of such evidence bears upon the President’s intent with respect to obstruction. Generally speaking, to obtain and sustain an obstruction conviction, the government would need to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that a person, acting with corrupt intent, engaged in obstructive conduct with a sufficient nexus to a pending or contemplated proceeding. In cataloguing the President’s actions, many of which took place in public view, the report identifies no actions that, in our judgment, constitute obstructive conduct, had a nexus to a pending or contemplated proceeding, and were done with corrupt intent, each of which, under the Department’s principles of federal prosecution guiding charging decisions, would need to be proven beyond a reasonable doubt to establish an obstruction-of-justice offense."

if the game was over, then Mueller would have said so... and he didn't.... he gave 2 pathways on how to handle the lawlessness...The game is over and the score is not tied so there is no overtime. Man, shuffling off to school in pajamas and slippers with competition eliminated has really scrambled the brains of 15-40 year olds.
1) it is up to congress to impeach him
2) Once removed from office or a resignation or his time expires, he can be charged with his obstruction of Justice via obstructing an official investigation.
