Poll of the Day > William Barr is in the hot seat for...

(+) Yeah! (+)

Misrepresenting the Mueller findings, his role in regards to the unprecedented shitty ass handling of the Roger Stone case and the Trump secret police.

but...

In the midst of all the questions regarding this, a Republican representative of Alabama asked about pedophilia. She highlighted how pedophilia a bad. Very, very bad. And wanted to know just what Bill Barrs justice system is doing to combat it. They ended it by saying that the new evil threat is evildoers encrypting messages online. And I dont know what that means, but I know it sounds scary. And I dont like pedophilia cause its bad. So I guess Im changing my vote to Trump. This makes sense.

Trump's strategy with Hillary Clinton.

Truth is, if he wanted her to go to prison so badly, he should have given her a position as one of his advisors.

Trump literally still wants to put both Hillary and Obama in jail. Hes actually said the words you should be in jail when running against Hillary

True he did say that. But his administration has never launched an investigation into them

This hearing is fucking amazing.

Was about how the justice department worked hand-in-hand with the media so that media vans were parked at Stone's home *before* law enforcement showed up to arrest him? Because that was hella unprofessional... and probably not Barr's doing.

A joke that doesn't make sense since the investigation was supposed to happen AFTER he was elected and, more importantly, the first campaign promise he broke was announcing he wouldn't appoint a special prosecutor to look into Hillary Clinton.

It's really crazy to me how people overlook how fucked up that was. Its right up there with CNN telling people that people could be jailed for reading the Wikileaks emails but that the media was allowed to have them and the public was only allowed to get the info about the emails through them

It also doesn't make sense because Hillary Clinton likely didn't commit the vague crimes she was accused of, whereas Trump's advisors and associates absolutely did.

Bernie does seem like a genuine guy from watching him speak but he is still a politician so I have my doubts. The most brilliant sociopaths are very good at concealing their sociopathic tendencies. But he is also one of the least wealthy of the bunch

Lying to the American people? Show me a politician who doesn't and keep in mind Jimmy Carter hasn't been in office for decades. Abusing his position? That's a hilarious amount of spin. It's the same unproven and unprovable charges behind the fishing expedition into Trump.

Some maybe. Some, for sure, were railroaded just for being associated with trump. I'm pretty sure even some prominent democrats have said Flynn was screwed over unfairly for just doing his job

But even with Roger Stone's witness tampering charge, the guy actually wrote a letter to the judge saying that he didn't think stone should be charged and that stone was simply a juvenile character

lolwut? You want to play that game? Overlooking Hillary's countless historical criminal allegations, you still have the fact that the ONLY proven collusion between Russia and a political campaign involved Hillary's campaign paying a foreign intelligence agent to get political dirt directly from the Russian government (which was then fed to the media to be published for political advantage). You know, the same thing that was the alleged basis for inquiry into Trump.

They're probably talking about that new mandate they're trying to get implemented that will make it mandatory that websites format their data in a way that is easily accessible to the government.

You know, small government stuff.

Or maybe they're just talking about how they can't catch pedophiles because of increased online security. Why assume the worst. Just about the only way you can actually arrest an internet pervert these days is if they click on a .tor link and open it in their torrent client. I remember a story of a guy that was looking at CP at a public library... they arrested him for public indecency.

That's a complete twist of the truth.

The Clinton campaign paid a research firm that hired Steele to find dirt. Steele had Russian sources. There was never a direct connection established between the Clinton campaign and the Russian government.

However, it was CONFIRMED that Russia preferred Trump, hacked DNC accounts, and published cherry picked findings to hurt Clinton's campaign.

How convenient. Maybe they should've launched a full scale investigation into everyone associated with her campaign to find out if there was collusion or not. I mean, stone just had ties to wikileaks right? It wasn't a direct tie to russia. And wikileaks wasn't even hired!

A fair point. But the fact remains that there was never a direct connection established, making this statement:

It wasn't alleged, they were directly tied to GRU. A direct connection was established between Trump's campaign and the Kremlin.

Turns out Barr committed perjury during this hearing. He said he doesnt read the Presidents tweets but months ago he said that the Presidents tweets are making his job more difficult.

"Sir. The president said this on Twitter: "Insert idiotic comment.""

Once again, I know it's difficult for some of you to understand, but considering his position, he can be informed about comments the presidents makes or actions that he does. He does not have to read his twitter feed to know what's going on. Hard concept to grasp, I know.

Something about the US Attorney General receiving briefings regarding when the President of the United States shitposts on Twitter makes me laugh.

"Instead, criminal culpability attaches only at the instant the declarant falsely asserts the truth of statements (made or to be made) that are material to the outcome of the proceeding. For example, it is not perjury to lie about one's age except if age is a fact material to influencing the legal result, such as eligibility for old age retirement benefits or whether a person was of an age to have legal capacity."

Posting this since leftists don't ever actually seem to know what perjury is. Not every single inaccuracy counts as perjury because the human memory isn't infallible. For instance, if someone asks me under oath if i ate cereal two weeks ago and i say no but i did and simply forgot, that isnt perjury.

Also, is it not possible he stopped reading his tweets because it was making his job more difficult? I know critical thinking is hard and headlines are more fun but damn

Anyway, I finally skimmed a lot of the hearing... ffs what a joke that was. Nadler foaming at the mouth like a psycho and being completely unreasonable the entire time. Democrats are so scared that trump will get re elected that they are trying to criminally implicate anyone that could even accidentally aid his re election campaign
