Coons gets Barr on Record Claiming That Campaign Help from North Korea is A-OK
Barr testified that Presidential campaigns getting help from foreign governments is OK, but (absurdly) draws the line at getting help from foreign intelligence service.
Winner: Foreign governments who want to interfere in US elections
Barr went to extreme lengths to normalize the Trump campaign’s extensive contacts with Russia. Barr hesitated before answering a question from Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE) about whether presidential campaigns offered dirt on their opponents by foreign governments should report the offer to the FBI. The Trump campaign faced this exact scenario when top members of its campaign took a meeting in Trump Tower with a Kremlin-connected lawyer who was offering dirt on Hillary Clinton.
“If a foreign intelligence service does, yes,” Barr said, making a distinction between intelligence services and governments.
Now I see that this post is a generous gift to Coons.
The video shows that Coons lets Barr off the hook by feeding him the “intelligence services” lifeline.
He just can’t stand being at odds with Republicans. Even lying, criminal Republicans.
Impeach him already then. Everybody wants to have their cake and eat it too, don’t they. Just more political theatre.
LOL – Never happen. This is all a show…
You sound like your buds from the WC. You’re supposedly a Democrat?
Can you imagine the low class white trash bigot response if Obama had down what their beloved reality show carnival barker has done..
Why won’t the Dems vote to hold Barr in contempt? Why don’t they vote to impeach Trump now? Oh right, they need to keep messing with the zit so it doesn’t come to a head too quickly. Better watch it or that shit may get infected.
Yeah, I realize shinning the light of day on the corrupt carnival barker is like a vampire seeing the light to you people
Or they realize that Mitch McConnell and his ilk have zero respect for the power of Congress or the rule of law in general so nothing will come of it. That said, I think it is still worth it to perform their duties and uphold the Constitution.
