Alex, I will take Big Titles for 200.

This person was a hot political name in the news during April, May and June of 2019 as one who was investigating something related to Trump.

What is Roseanne Barr, Alex.

The Attorney General did not have to release the Mueller report. He did it out of consideration for the people. Congress has no Rights here. They need to oversee the managerial part of the Justice Department to see that the department is using its money Righteously. I would say that the Justice department money that was spent on the Mueller investigation was a total misuse of millions of dollars. The investigators knew early on that there was no criminal activity on the part of the President, his cabinet, nor his campaign. Investigation closed! But, no, the Mueller investigation team was full of Trump-haters and Hillary lovers, and their prejudice came ever to the fore. David H. Coffey

I voted for “No, only elected Representatives should have the authority to question the Attorney General of the United States”. I would have voted for Senator Hawley’s remark IF he had not mistakenly called our form of government a “democracy”. The USA is NOT a democracy, never has been and God willing never will be. We are a Constitutional Republic. The distinction between a republic and a democracy is an important one. If you do not know the difference you need to do some serious study on the matter.

The tax documents for EVERY member of congress, both parties, both houses should be opened for the voters ti see. How can a member of congress amass such a large personal fortune on such a small salary. The secret should be shared so that all might benefit.

We don’t have a democracy now Sen Hawley. We have a democratic republic. They are NOT the same thing. A democracy is mob rule, 50%+1 vote puts the other 49% in chains if they want. A democratic republic is constrained by a constitution to prevent such travesties from happening. Instead of mob rule it’s rule of law. I’m sick and tired of people using the wrong terminology. By acquiescing to the jargon of the liberal left we tacitly approve their definitions and they win. That is not acceptable to me and shouldn’t be acceptable to anyone who has ever taken an oath to protect and defend the constitution of the United States.

Congress is making a mockery of itself! They keep trying to undo the 2016 Election and harassing Republicans. They try to ruin Attorney General Barr’s reputation just because they can. They are just trying to keep the Mueller Report alive when they all know it’s over! Getting and releasing the President’s Taxes? They are grasping at straws. They can’t win in 2020 even with the abundance of help from the National Media! CNN, MSNBC, NBC. CBS etc are ruining their own reputation for the Democrats also. Watch FOX NEWS for any truth at all. Truth on both sides. President Trump doesn’t need the bias National News, CNN et.al to win, in fact they are helping him. No real News station would say the things they say and call the names they call our President and all Republicans if they were a REAL NEWS Station. You’d think they would give up and start reporting about the real News like how great things are since Trump won the Presidency. Best numbers in over 50 years.
The Democrats can’t even do anything with a real Constitution Crisis! The Border!
They just make up their own FAKE Crisis with the lies they spout. Real Shame what is happening to the Democratic Party and just think, I used to be a Democrat. NEVER AGAIN!!!!!!

The House is only half of Congress so Barr is not in contempt of Congress because he testified before the Senate and has made a copy of the report viewable to the rest of Congress if they want to get off their lazy asses to look they are more than welcome

After more than 20 yrs in politics, I think that recognizing the set up Muller constructed for Barr to fall into is quite obvious. His report with regard to obstruction is a beautiful trap for Barr to fall into. Surprised the Gen’l didn’t see it for what it is. The one thing I learned during my time in politics is that you don’t play nice with Democracts. You tear their throat out.

The Answer is just NO! As to the claim that mentions that we are a Democracy is Wrong to begin with. We are not and never have been a Democracy! Our Founding Fathers feared democracies, as they lead to failure and tyranny. They did the right thing, when they created us as a Constitutional Federal REPUBLIC, as stated in Article IV in the Constitution. If we were a Democracy, we would now have Hillary Clinton as our President, and we would be much closer to what the Soviet Union was.
There is something called Separation of Powers, which is supposed to Protect one of the Branches from interference by either of the other two branches. The A.G. is a part of the Executive Branch, and the House of Representatives is from the Legislative Branch, and wants to destroy the Constitution and the President, thus interfering with the Executive Branch, and create a Socialist Nation, through the dismantling of the Republic protections in the Constitution.

We as Americans need to read and understand the Constitution as well as the Federalist Papers, and fight to preserve our Grand Republic, before we lose everything to power hungry Marxists.

Barr does not have to answer to Socialist Democrats. They need to be investigated for corruption and obstruction for and attempted overthrow of the current administration. They have been in power for so long with no oversight by republicans they are above the law.

He should go, and when the questioning starts about grand jury testimony he should demand a letter from Nadler ordering him to violate law before he can answer. Nothing works like a paper trail.

No I don’t think he needs to he’s already answered all the questions he needs to they’re just trying to trap him into saying one word wrong is going to make everything look like he lied or did something it wasn’t supposed to all they’re trying to do is get rid of him to now cuz they’re mad because he didn’t do what they wanted again as everything else has turned out and Mueller they should prosecute him just for what he did the way he left it on purpose to try an impeached Trump

Not sure what the law is on this. I can say that the AG (by law) cannot release a fully un-redacted report. All the Dems/socialist are going to do is question him
on these very items and make him look like he’s hiding/protecting the President. Then the socialist media will report everyday his “collusion”.
How anyone votes Dem these days is beyond me. The “swamp” (yes, including the stinking rino’s) are fighting back.
STAY STRONG MR. PRESIDENT

We need to investigate the socialists (AKA screaming babies) and the lies they have been spreading, then punish them. This is America and we live by the Constitution. If the socialists don’t like it they need to be thrown out of America, not change it.

42K No’s to 200 yes’. I think this is pretty clear-cut. Its all a “show trial” anyway. The Dems are furious their boy (Mueller) didn’t deliver the goods so now they are trying to find another way around the truth. Such horrible people!

I thought the USA is supposed to be a Republic (rule of law,) not a democracy (mob rule.) Democracy always ends in tyranny. The reason we have the Electoral College is to keep the US a Republic. The word democracy is not found in any of our founding documents!

He is supposed to be the people’s attorney. Not Trump’s personal lawyer. There is so much that the American people do not know because of the lies and cover-ups that have been going on in government for so long! Russia is a real threat to our way of life and we demand protection from our elections ever being manipulated ever again. Putin loves Trump because he is the perfect stooge for Russia to corrupt our constitution, our way of life, and our future. If Trump and Barr have nothing to hide, then why are they fighting so hard to keep the Muller report redacted, Trump’s financial records secret, his taxes, and fighting to silence Mueller. Why would Trump not do a face to face interview with Mueller, why are so many of Trump’s “experts” found guilty, doing prison terms, and telling all finally that they got caught? Trump throws them to the wolves to protect himself. He is not interested in serving we the people. He is looking out for himself only. And he proves it every single day. I am a very upset Republican that can’t wait to see this moron get kicked out of office and thrown into jail for the rest of his life!

I have so much respect for attorney General Barr to stand up to the Libs, a good example to the Republicans in office who seem to be afraid to take strong stands. Pelosey, the wicked witch of the west called Mr Barr a liar, only one Republican i am aware of tried to take her to task. When are our members going to start standing up, and fighting back? Many people I am aware of have basic TV so don”t hear anything but the left’s lies. Our representatives have to start taking advantage of social media to get our side’s take out there. Time is ticking away til 2020.

I heard a democrat congressman explain that the alternating 5 minute questioning between dems and reps didn’t allow enough time to pursue answers, which, he claimed, would not be the case by having staff lawyers asking the questions because they would have more time to pin down and pursue Barr’s answers… This made absolutely no sense to me. Does anyone know what he was talking about?

I asked the question several years ago, “When does a first world nation realize it’s become a third world nation?”, now it seems the USA under the Obama administration allowed our country to slip in it’s high standards of integrity to become a lot less than our heritage pursued, and now under Speaker Pelosi is sinking further into the swamp of ‘whatever’ and the old mantra, “by any means necessary”.

The Socialist Criminal leadership of the Liberal Democrat Party attempted a Political Coup against a democratically elected President. They will not stop attempting to corrupt our Constitional rights, our election process or our freedoms in their fight to get power and control of our Ciuntry fir one sole purpose, the destruction of America and its conservative citizens.

I am so sick of the democrats spending tax payers money on one investigation after another. The money spent on the Muller Report could have been spent to help fund research on Cancer, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson Disease . My grandson died of a rare form of cancer at age 27. Because it is a rare form of cancer its called an “Orphan Disease” no money is put forth for research on Orphan Diseases. According to research by the American Cancer Organization there are over 200 Orphan Cancer Diseases without funds for research. I hope Barr investigates the Clintons, Eric Holder and all of the democrats in office. Look at their taxes.

The behavior of the Democratic Members of the Senate Judiciary Committee during the hearing with AG Barr was absolutely disgraceful. Their treatment and comments of AG Barr were unwarranted and untrue. I’m ashamed of their treatment of AG Barr. Moreover, I’m ashamed that Republican members of the House are not protesting the uncalled for treatment. Finally, if anyone reading this posting wants to see a “behind the scene” view of the current events in our government and the media; I very strongly recommend you acquire the DVD entitled “AGENDA Grinding America Down” produced in about 2010, and directed by Curtis Bowers. This documentary will open your eyes wide… and provide the backdrop for what is taking place across America today. By the way, there is an Update to the video, which I believe is available on YouTube.

The Mueller report contains grand jury testamony, grand jury testimony is behind closed doors to protect the innocent. Separation of powers is clear that the house cannot see testimony of those cleared by the grand jury so they don’t slander innocent Americans .Those questioned and found not guilty of anything must be redacted and Mr Nadler can’t see full interacted version no matter his tantrums, and certainly not unelected ambulance chasers.

The only ones that I want to see testify is all of those involved in the “witch hunt” that was perpetrated against President a Trump! 45 million dollars foolishly spent on an investigation that revealed that the only collusion was between the Clinton Campaign and the DNC with the Russians. I want to see all of these people to stand trial and be incarcerated for their treasonous activities!

Why aren’t the comments below heard in the news media and what happened to honest reporting, they make the public look like they don’t know how to think for themselves
the question is why aren’t the DemoSocialists focusing on the real issues facing OUR country instead of offering the Russian, N, Korea;China and others to undermine us by their unwillingness to do what’s best for the country by regarding the intelligence of those who founded this GREAT NATION as if they didn’t know what they were doing to protect in the future of a GOVERNMENT FOR THE PEOPLE BY THE PEOPLE not by the politicians for politicians it only works if the people realize they are the government and not the politicians, if there are term limits on the office of the President there should also be on congress.

The Democrats have made up their minds that if the answers they get are not what they want to hear, they’re going to start another investigation and another until they GET the answer they want. They don’t REALLY care if they NEVER get it because all they want to do is burn-up Trump’s 4 years without him accomplishing anything, so the best thing the Republicans can do is treat THEM the same way by ‘saying “NO” to everything they propose”!
