More than two dozen DC Bar members urge disciplinary probe of AG Barr

https://thehill.com/regulation/court...ry-probe-of-ag

Quote:
More than two dozen members of the D.C. Bar Association, including four of its former presidents, urged the group’s disciplinary board on Wednesday to investigate Attorney General William Barr for committing “serious ethical deviations” as head of the Justice Department under President Trump.

The 40-page complaint alleges that Barr has repeatedly served as Trump’s personal attorney, rather than act on behalf of the United States, in breach of Barr’s ethical obligations as a lawyer. The result, the letter states, has been to undermine and interfere with the rule of law.

“Mr. Barr’s client is the United States, and not the President,” the members write in the letter. “Yet, Mr. Barr has consistently made decisions and taken action to serve the personal and political self-interests of President Donald Trump, rather than the interest of the United States.”

Judge finds Michael Cohen's return to prison 'retaliatory,' orders his release
Cohen had refused to sign a form that would have barred him from speaking in public, including by publishing a book, as a condition of home confinement.

Sorry, Billy, but that pesky 1st Amendment just keeps getting the way of your authoritarianism...

National Guardsman: Removing protesters from Lafayette Square was an 'unprovoked escalation'

https://thehill.com/policy/energy-en...-square-was-an

Quote:
A National Guard official will testify that a Park Police operation to remove demonstrators from Lafayette Square in front of the White House on June 1 was an "unprovoked escalation" against protesters "engaged in the peaceful expression of their First Amendment rights."

These comments are part of the written testimony of District of Columbia National Guard Major Adam DeMarco, who is slated to appear before the House Natural Resources Committee on Tuesday alongside acting Park Police Chief Gregory Monahan.

DeMarco is expected to testify that he was serving as a liaison between the city’s National Guard and Park Police in Lafayette Square on June 1, the day that protesters there were subjected to pepper balls and smoke canisters in an effort to clear the area.
Billy and Donny were lying. Imagine that.

Orange Shitstain wanted his Roy Cohn. In Billy Barr, he found his John Mitchell instead.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/opini...chell-instead/

Quote:
Mitchell lied incessantly about Nixon’s role in Watergate and other misconduct, no matter the consequences — which in Mitchell’s case eventually included disbarment and prison. Barr’s long series of distorted, dishonest and false statements in defense of the president may not land him in criminal jeopardy, but they are familiar steps on that same crooked path — steps that the Judiciary Committee should press Barr to explain.

Billy fully intends to lie through his teeth, under oath, to congress

https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2020/07/27/p...ent/index.html

When our national nightmare is finally over, Billy, Donny, and the entire clown show will be locked up, and the keys thrown away.

Todays drinking game. Participants will take a shot of vodka each time Bill-boy lies. One lie in a sentence, one shot. Two lies in a sentence, a double. Three lies, a triple shot. Four or more lies in a sentence, a half-pint. The one still conscious after ten minutes wins.

The unethical Billy Barr: 27 lawyers, 4 powerful allegations of dishonesty and deceit
Lawyers' complaint is shocking evidence of Barr's mendacity and a warning for us: He's America's most important public lawyer, and we can't trust him.

https://www.usatoday.com/story/opini...mn/5517466002/

Donny's and Pootin's lapdog is running the DOJ. I hope the judiciary committee locks him in the basement for obstructing justice.

Orange Shitstain crony Barr's 2020 House testimony is a big opportunity for Democrats
The attorney general's tenure has been a disaster for the American people. The sooner he is gone from office, the better off the nation will be.

T'Rump's consigliere, AG Billy 'Low' Barr, acted like an evasive and guilty perp today before the House committee. I remember Nixon's pos AG Mitchell acting the same way. I can't wait until he's behind bars.
