    This.

    William Barr is extremely biased. He lobbied for the job and wrote a memorandum protecting the President before he was even in the administration.

    The question is whether what he did is criminal.

    Didn't read but yes, of course he would said something like that. He lied about the Mueller report that is about, hummm... the Presidency, not about Trump. LOL.

    On a more serious note, if you believe the President is above the law, should have unquestioned power with no Congressional check, then go for it. Just remember this next time there is a corrupt, law breaking immoral Democrat as POTUS.

    If he's honestly doing this for the office of the presidency and not for Trump, he's still doing us a disservice if he insulates the executive branch from oversight by the legislative. So, it really doesn't make it any better in my view to cast this effort as some grander, nobler thing about how democracies should work because he's wrong about how they should work.

    Please show me an instance where the presidency has lost power to the article 1 branch of government since Reagan? Just 3 years ago all I heard about was reigning in the powers of the presidency when the Black guy was in office, now it’s powers are under attack because of... investigations stemming from obvious criminal behavior?

    Barr and the admin’s excuse for protecting the presidency is nonsense. Bill Barr has always held authoritarian views of the presidency since he constructed the GOP cover up of Iran Contra. His views of our overall construct of government mean zero... zilch to me and should to anyone who really understands the entire premise our founders were trying to create a democracy under.

    But that’s Barr...we know him and we know the Trump regime. The real question is for people like you. Why are you obviously okay with the president of the US being above the law? Because your opinions here and your trolling show you get a kick out of the guy and root for failure to hold him accountable.

    I see plenty of threats to the office of presidency from the current president.

    Yea but why is okay for the Trump administration to have so many communications with Russian linked associates?

    You care more about investigating the investigations than finding out the Trump’s behavior was exactly how it was reported.

    Wasn’t it our allies in Australia who told us about questionable ties of Trump’s people?

    That's a whole lot of dot connection.

    And yet we still ignore that the FISA warrant was based on much more than the Steele dossier.

    Things will get very interesting as Trump starts declassifying the documents that started all of this.

    They’re all a bunch of bozos holding some kind of a circus convention while the American people suffer

    Lol. I love how the law and order crowd views white collar criminals vs regular criminals.

    Would you have batted an eye that someone linked to organized crime was bugged?

    Trump sure as hell doesn’t want the Mueller Report declassified.
