Dem Rep. Jackie Speier: AG Barr needs to ‘up his game’ or be impeached

Make sure to let us know what you think... we now have comments turned ON below the article!

Still sore over how Robert Mueller’s report debunked their tired Trump-Russia collusion narrative, Senate Judiciary Committee Democrats picked at Attorney General William Barr for several hours on Wednesday over anything that could be spun in a negative way.

But Barr’s no-nonsense attitude and brief responses left few openings for effective attacks — thus, numerous Democrats are now expressing their frustration with Barr by demanding that he resign or even be impeached because he didn’t tell them exactly what they wanted to hear and won’t play their partisan games on Capitol Hill.

Barr impeachment threatened

One of those suggesting Barr could be impeached was Democrat California Rep. Jackie Speier, a member of the House Intelligence Committee, who told MSNBC’s Brian Williams that Barr could well find himself in real jeopardy very soon.

Asked for her take on Barr’s appearance before the Senate committee on Wednesday, Speier replied, “I would say he better up his game or he should be impeached.”

“I was astonished, truly astonished by his inability to answer very basic questions that would suggest to most of us that he is hiding something,” she continued. “For Robert Mueller to write him a letter and say that he is threatening — that Barr was threating to undermine the full confidence of the American people by the way he was describing the report says volumes.”

However, that isn’t really what Mueller said in his letter to Barr — he merely wanted the executive summaries of the massive report released early to supplement Barr’s 4-page summary of conclusions, in order to rectify misleading media coverage — and the only thing that is “astonishing” is how Speier and other Democrats have mischaracterized Mueller’s letter.

Dems want to hear from Mueller

“I think it’s very important that we talk to Bob Mueller,” Speier said. “What we have here is not an attorney general for the United States. We have someone who’s running a PR firm on behalf of someone who is subject to damage control. This is a damage control operation on behalf of someone who is president of the United States.”

She added: “This is not the attorney general of the United States, and he can’t answer simple questions and clearly hasn’t read the report, nor the underlying evidence that probably is over a thousand pages, and yet he could make a decision and a determination that the president did not obstruct justice. That’s truly laughable.”

What’s “truly laughable” is how Democrats spent the past two years demanding everyone respect and accept the eventual findings of the Mueller investigation, but now that things haven’t turned out the way Democrats envisioned, they want Barr to go back through two years of investigatory evidence to double-check Mueller’s work.

Speier suggested Mueller would be subpoenaed to deliver his own testimony on the investigation and final report and took yet another shot at Barr by questioning his credibility and capability to continue leading the Justice Department.

As noted, Democrats spent two years portraying Mueller as some sort of infallible arbiter able to bring down Trump over nonsense allegations of Russian collusion.

That didn’t happen, and the left is now scrambling to lash out in any direction that might help them get back on track to their initial destination — impeachment hearings for President Donald Trump, or in the alternative, his attorney general.

  13. такого ужасного качества ремонта электрики как сделал на моей даче Батеенко Михаил Николаевич наверное не мог сделать никто вообще. По объявлению о производстве электромонтажных работ я позвонил на номер +79154333570 мастеру, как в последствии мне стало известно Батеенко Михаилу Николаевичу. Приехав ко мне на дачу он посчитал сколько будет стоить замена электрики на даче. Так как мне нужно было срочно уехать я не мог контролировать его работу. А вернувшись через неделю я был поражен от ого что Батеенко Михаил Николаевич наворотил. Мало того, что при монтаже он не использовал современные технологии и все соединял “скрутками” так ещё и в некоторых местах даже не заизолировал. Деньги на материалы я ему давал с учетом того, что Батеенко Михаил Николаевич купит медный кабель нужного сечения, а оказалось, что вся проводка выполнена из разного кабеля разного сечения и даже между собой соединенного медного и алюминиевого провода. Такое ощущение, что мои деньги он присвоил, монтаж произвел из остатков или найденой на мусорке проволоки. также мне стало известно, что Батеенко Михаил Николаевич пользуется вторым номером телефона +79652487064

  14. Однажды я обратилась к женщине по имени Батеенко Наталия Николаевна для того чтобы она подстригла кусты в моем дворе. Меня сразу не насторожило то что она занимаясь такими работами не имеет своего специального шансового инструмента. Слава богу инструмент у меня был свой. Когда Батеенко Наталия Николаевна пришла на работу в первый день она мне предложила дополнительно обрезать плодовые деревья, избавиться от сорняка и вообще привести мой участок в “конфетку”, но для того чтобы было более быстро и качественно ей необходимо привлечь своего напарника. Учитывая, что общая сумма вознаграждения за выполненные работы предполагалась не очень большая я согласилась. На следующий день Батеенко Наталья Николаевна пришла с мужчиной. Им оказался Батеенко Михаил Николаевич, но это мне стало известно потом. Кем он ей приходится то ли мужем то ли братом я так и не поняла. До обеда, они более менее нормально работали, но потом во дворе я услышала что они как то громко общаются. Подойдя ближе я увидела, что они немного выпившие. Я сделала им замечание и строго настрого запретила им выпивать у меня во дворе и ушла. Спустя примерно час, во время того как я готовила еду, я услышала истошные вопли во дворе. Посмотрев в окно я увидела Как они друг за другом бегают по моему двору с лопатами. После этого я крикнула в окно чтобы они убирались или я вызову охрану. Только тогда они ушли, а после их ухода я заметила что у меня пропал секатор фирмы Гардена. Номера телефонов наших героев : Батеенко Наталия Николаевна (89645966113, 89154128436); Батеенко Михаил Николаевич (+79652487064, +79154333570)
