CONGRESSIONAL HEARING MAKES BARR SQUIRM


William Barr was questioned in a Congressional committee hearing today broadcast on television. The Republican pro-Trump congressmen gave him easy softball irrelevant questions. The Democratic congressmen and congresswomen were more to the point in questioning Barr concerning his suppression of prosecutions of Trump’s guilty cronies while going after people who Trump considers his enemies. Examples of the former included suppression of the jailing of General Flynn and Roger Stone, both of whom were guilty of conspiring with the Russian neo-KGB in their social media efforts to influence the 2016 US presidential election to favor Trump over Clinton particularly in the battleground states of the upper Midwest, thus swinging the Electoral College in Trump’s favor despite his loss in the popular vote. On the other hand, Barr showed no mercy concerning Michael Cohen, Trump’s “fixer” who saw the light and spoke the truth concerning Trump after Donald tried to throw him under the bus. Cohen was allowed out of jail to home confinement because of the COVID epidemic, but Trump influenced Barr’s DOJ to send Cohen back to jail for daring to tell the truth about Boss Trump. Fortunately for Cohen the judge saw through this inequitable action and sent Cohen back home. When questioned by the Democrats, Barr tried to evade the questions and appeared combative. He was clearly uncomfortable because he had no justification for his actions. The Attorney General is supposed to be the attorney for the American people, not the fixer for a corrupt president.
VOTE FOR JOE BIDEN, DEMOCRATIC SENATORS, AND DEMOCRATIC CONGRESSMEN! Throw out Trump and his Republican enablers in the Senate and House of Representatives!
