The latest talking point for the media and jackbooters is "hand picked attorney general".
Did President Obama inherit Eric Holder from the Bush administration? Also.... was Loretta Lynch elected to her attorney general stint?

I haven't heard anyone say it, but that would be stupid.

I find it interesting that every modern day AG started on Jan. 20th (the day the new party takes over) after a transfer of power takes place and yet some think it's not a political position.

Because he wasnt willing to interfere with a special council investigation or lie about the results of such.
No, he met with the Russian Amb, he was on the foreighn relations committee which meeting foreign dignitaries was his job, and recused himself over a hand shake.FYI, nobody interferred with Mueller unlike the two previous AG who carried Obama water for all his illegal actions.

The results are public knowledge, what exactly would he have to lie about that was in the report?

Its called a comparison of the two situations, pointing out how hypocritical Democrats are. Now , when a Democrat gets into office & is doing shady **** you will say Republicans didn't care when Trump done it ...& everyone will compare numbers & all kinds of stupid stuff

The was NO interference with the special councel investigation. NONE. Get your facts and forget the talking points supplied through CNN.

Incompetence!


I could actually agree with that, but not for the same reason, he is a 1st time politician and he had to learn on the job. It was one of his 1st decisions in a new role, the bottom of the triangle seems to be logical.

You realize the report has been released, right? The whole narrative we’re seeing right now only works if he was still holding onto the report and not releasing it. This is bizarro world. He denied the left their opportunity to drive the narrative. And they’re really really mad.

And he drove the narrative. Apparently the Mueller team was mad too. Simple way to settle this....get Mueller in there.

He and Barr should have been side by side.

He drove the narrative? With a 4 page summary?

Kinda hard to drive that narrative when the whole report is available to... drive the narrative.

Apparently. Partial report is now available, after 3 weeks of TOTAL EXONERATION. If it was of no value, why didn't Barr just wait for the report? Or release the Mueller summaries? It was enough to get 2 letters from Mueller and a backing off from Barr a few days after his 4 page summary.

This^^^^

Strange that didn't happen? Wonder why?
Because there is no reason for both of them to answer the same questions.

Mueller submitted a 400 page testimony. You didnt like it.

Its kinda tough **** for you.

Politics plain in simple. The other side has played politics with the investigation for over 2 1/2 years and are now pissed that their narrative is now over. We are literally complaining about not having the ability to own a narrative for 3 weeks.

The lefts strategy has been continuous pressure leading up to 2020. They saw their strategy being compromised and the result is a bunch of stupid political letters from a political appointee...Muller.

Mueller delivered his testimony in an almost 500 page report. Seems pretty cut and dry to me.

Try reading the report. There were many instances of Trump trying to interfere and being blocked, including by Sessions. This is why most of those folks are gone now. So, yes, there was interference with the investigation. It, as most things Trump does, was a failure.

Doing everything he legally could to end an investigation into something he didn't do. Imagine that! (That's what the report says, too).
