These people willing to work for Trump have lost their collective minds.
They think they will work for Trump for life. Little regards for their own freedom. Someone ought to tell them he’s only there for up to 4-8 years.
How many times does this ass-clown have to sperm-shield for the Trump administration. Buying into the Spying conspiracy theory with no proof....
https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2019...ot_SubscribersAfter initially shielding President Donald Trump from the full brunt of the Mueller report's findings, Attorney General William Barr is reportedly shifting his attention to another frequent object of Trump's ire: the F.B.I. According to Bloomberg, Barr has assembled a team to investigate how the law enforcement agency handled their probe into the Trump campaign before it was taken over by Robert Mueller.
Barr said during his hearing before the House Appropriations Committee Tuesday that he was "reviewing the conduct of the [FBI's] investigation and trying to get my arms around all the aspects of the counterintelligence investigation that was conducted during the summer of 2016." Bloomberg reports the investigation will include allegations that the F.B.I.'s probe was tainted by anti-Trump bias and was spurred by a "pattern of actions" undertaken by F.B.I. officials, including a criminal investigation into former attorney general Jeff Sessions that was closed without charges. The newly-assembled team will operate separately from another Justice Department probe into the F.B.I.'s FISA process during the Russia investigation, which is being undertaken by the Inspector General. That investigation is expected to wrap up in May or June, Barr told lawmakers Tuesday.
The allegation that the F.B.I. was packed with members of the Resistance bent on taking down Trump has emerged as something of a Republican pet project during Trump's presidency, as lawmakers allied with the president seek a counter-narrative to combat the Mueller probe. House Republicans launched full-scale investigations into the agency during their time as the majority party, and Sen. Lindsay Graham promised in March to investigate the matter and "how [the Mueller report] got off the rails" in the Senate Judiciary Committee he leads. Barr's decision to join their insurgence with his own team, naturally, is being met with open arms: “That’s great news he’s looking into how this whole thing started back in 2016,” Rep. Jim Jordan told Bloomberg. “That’s something that has been really important to us. It’s what we’ve been calling for.”
Of course, one of the biggest proponents of Barr's new plan is likely to be Trump himself, who has frequently taken to Twitter to rail against "Lyin' James Comey" and the "corrupt former leaders of the FBI." While Barr's new probe may earn him brownie points from his boss, it won't do much to help the already-growing narrative that Barr is putting protecting Trump above all else, as evidenced by his controversial summary of the Mueller report and continued refusal to release it to Congress unredacted. As Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff noted on Twitter Tuesday: "Trump got his Roy Cohn."
Now, if you didn’t already think Barr was failing to fulfill his oath to enforce the laws as the people’s lawyer (not Trump’s lawyer), this latest episode might do it. Remember that Barr already subs uted his own “exoneration” of Trump on obstruction of justice (something the Justice Department’s guidelines specify should be a matter for Congress and not for the department), refused to use summaries that Robert S. Mueller III’s team prepared in favor of his misleading summary (which he later claimed was not a summary), has failed to turn over the report or Mueller summaries to Congress in a timely manner and has refused to make an unredacted version of the report available to Congress. All in all, it’s a shabby record of politicizing the Justice Department in a way that his predecessors avoided.

Dude - the entire Trump administration are traitors - including the biggest piece of traitor - Trump.
The GOP are traitors.
33% of the ing country are traitors.
This is a very serious problem.
Im more worried about the president this is setting....forgetting Trump...The executive branch has now overridden the power of judicial and legislative branches of government. We are well on our way toward a dictatorship...
Redactions bad now.
Democrats clutching their pearls.
It's sad to watch
All the people at Trader Joes are traders.
Oh wait you said traitors.
search "Barr and Iran-Contra", and you'll see EXACTLY why the Repugs made sure Barr became AG.
Iran-Contra was long complicated story, and Barr protected two Repug Pres, St Ronnie the Diseased and Repug Dirty Trickster/CIA/East Coast WASP Elite GHW Bush.
Then Clinton got elected and followed the convention not pursuing the preceding President (Carter did the same for Ford's pardon of REPUG Tricky ).
Compare with "sore winners" Trash and the Repugs STILL wanting to Lock Her Up.
Since it really didn't concern himself at all, I'm sure Trash forgot, if he bothered to learn, all about Iran-Contra, and esp about who did what to whom, and esp anything about Barr.
As the always opaque politicians love to bleat, "Let Me Be Clear":
The Repugs and the people who elect them are who TF have been running the country down on behalf of the oligarchy.
THEY are "the problem", not St Ronnie's "the government".

Repugs lose their :
butter emails
benghazi
christmas card list
whitewater
consensual sex
Vince Foster
Truly ing sad that people are scorboarding "triggered lib s" instead of criticizing the AG/USFG for not releasing the report. I guess winning internet points is more important than government transparency these days ...
Government transparency is only necessary when it benefits my team.
AKA, for the Repugs it's eternal campaigning and All Politics All The Time, the law, the Cons ution, agreements, conventions, fair play, break the rules, the people, fellate BigDonor.
Repugs know they can do just about anything they want as long as they first and always do what BigDonor pays them to do.
After that, anything and everything goes.

It is not red team vs blue team - here is your proof -
it is USA vs NOT USA!
Truly ing sad to see a lawyer criticizing the Attorney General for following the law.
bull ing . Barr was chosen for his coverup of Iran-Contra and intends to coverup for Trash.
He can also follow the law and tell the sdny to pursue trumps felonies in that district he oversees.
He can follow the law and enforce the IRS/Treasury to make sure they comply with the law to turn over trumps taxes.
He can follow the law to check into the emoluments clause violations of trump and his criminal family.
But you really do NOT want an AG that follows the law.
Following the law is not covering up anything. Should Barr not follow the procedures put in place after Clinton/Starr? Yes or no.
nah you're close... i bet they all voted for HRC though.
Have you ever redacted something for privilege?
