Again - you are being opportunistic rather than principled. The violation of principles like these is BAD for our country. It doesn't matter if you think, "well it worked out for the best". The same principles violated by others could result in the destruction of our republic! And accepting their violation today for Trump is paving the way for much worse later. And Trump accepting them/committing them should be inexcusable - no matter what your political views are.

Originally posted by oxmixmuddle View PostThe second is the willing enlistment or cooperation with the Russians during the election for which he has been given a pass by his base and by this AG. [...] And there is no doubt his campaign cooperated with them - albeit apparently (as far as we know to this point) without breaking the law.

Originally posted by Mountain Man View PostMueller found no evidence that any laws were broken. What was Barr supposed to do, indict Trump anyway? This isn't a power grab, it's just a common sense application of the law.
Mueller found no evidence that any US citizen conspired or coordinated with Russia in the 2016 election, and last I checked, Donald Trump is a US citizen. Sorry, but even your "non-criminal collusion" narrative was debunked by Mueller himself.
Your rants are becoming increasingly disconnected from reality to the point that I must admit to some difficulty in how I should respond. Like Charles Babbage famously said, "I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question."

Barr asked Sen. Harris “on what basis” he should recuse himself from the investigations.
“Conflict of interest, clear conflict of interest,”
“What’s my conflict of interest?” Barr asked.
“I think the American public has seen quite well that you are biased in this situation and you’ve not been objective and that would arguably be the conflict of interest,” (Emphasis mine)
Yet another blowhard who wrote checks she couldn't back up. The press is acting like she schooled Barr. She didn't. He basically told her repeatedly that she has no idea what an AG is supposed to do. And then there's this piece of joy...
Harris: “Did you consult with DOJ ethics officials before you enlisted Rod Rosenstein to participate in a charging decision for an investigation that subject of which he’s also a witness?"
Rosenstein was a member of the team for 2 years, long before Barr was confirmed, and never ONCE was his participation challenged by Congress, or Harris specifically, until the investigation concluded in a way she didn't like.That's what

Originally posted by Sparko View PostThen the entirety of the democratic senators should recuse themselves for conflict of interest. Their bias is unabashed. Even when the investigation proved otherwise they can't let it go. They started to attack the very people they put in charge of the investigation. They were not interested in the truth, but in just getting a big enough bat to knock Trump out of office. If that isn't bias I don't know what is.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Originally posted by Mountain Man View PostYour vacuous rejoinder and inability to address the facts as presented is noted.
As for your other 'facts', I have already addressed them multiple times, and your response has been to simply ignore my responses and repeat them again and again and again ... as if they have meaning, and as if no response had been given. In fact, the post I made which you responded to in fact also addressed them directly, and yet what do you do? Just repeat your talking points again mindlessly, as if they have meaning.

Tell me, if Mueller's report is as damning as you and the Democrats claim it is then why are they bothering with the theatrics of questioning Barr instead of immediately filing for impeachment with Mueller's report as their key piece of evidence? Well, I think the answer is pretty obvious, don't you?Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd
