If I only we had a functional Senate instead of embarrassment it is today

Trump played this whole thing off on Barr last night saying it's "his deal" like he had no idea what was going on, meanwhile Barr mentioned trump several times during the interview. These two better get together and get their lies correct.

Holy shit—with all the SCOTUS stuff happening, I completely missed that Berman testified before House Judiciary today...and stabbed Barr in the back with a knife and twisted it (metaphorically).

i don't think it's stabbing in the back when it was very clear what was going on, and Berman in no way misrepresented his position.
but yes, it is delicious. though i wonder what, if any, will come of it.
He didn't just stab him in the back, he went and forged a damned claymore like Conan and cut him in half. Damning stuff in there.
That's a tough one for Barr because Trump lies out of convenience at the time. Whatever gets him past the moment. Nobody knows what he'll say until it happens.
What else could it be? They forced him out of a job he had no intention of leaving because he wouldn't accept another position to give Trump control of appointing the person to lead investigations into people closely tied to Trump. You can suspect bribery if he were merely offered the positions without consequence for refusing or if he accepted them. But Barr/Trump's subsequent actions are crystal clear in their intention behind offering him those positions.

Just saw this on O'Donnell. Did not think Nadler was going there. Barr needs his turn in the barrel.
This "new normal" that the Repub party faithful is willing to stuff down their throats in order to tow the party line is featuring a president and AG of whom are shredding the Rule of Law, crapping on the Constitution and foregoing any and all ethical and moral principles in order to hang onto power of which is shielding them from their date with fate, karma, true justice and from being held accountable for their despicable crimes against the people of whom entrusted them with all of the power and influence their offices privileged them with.
I guess being held to a higher standard for a job that requires an extraordinary skill set for leading the most powerful nation in the world just doesn't apply to any Repub that wants that job.
As well, Trump's myopic quest to erase anything that Obama accomplished that would possibly make him look bad in comparison backfired in a really telling kind of way, one of the very few things Trump has been exceptionally good at.

They will not. Berman's deputy, Audrey Strauss, will continue the work & she'll be there thru the inauguration. Barr lost in an ugly way when Berman refused to resign. Barr gained nothing except a lot of bad press.
