    Barr has abandoned any pretense that he is anything but Trump's "Roy Cohn".

    He had waded heavily in the political arena...not a little but waist deep.

    He has removed prosecutors that might pose a legal threat to Trump

    He has inserted himself into sentencing guidelines in ways never done before regarding convicted criminal Roger Stone and confessed felon Michael Flynn

    He is personally involved in political investigations of Trump's opponent.

    He is now saying that we should remove career Federal Prosecutors and replace them with elected ones. Of note...the reason they are career professionals rather than elected is to remove POLITICS from the equation.He WANTS the Justice Department to political

    And scarier than anything is that he now wants to charge "violent protesters" with SEDITION.

    No one is defending truly violent protesters but they are NOT "trying to overthrow the government" and THAT is what sedition is. If they commit crimes they should be prosecuted but that is a LOCAL matter , not a Federal one and it CERTAINLY is not "sedition"

    Given all the above, his blatant political politicization of the DOJ, Who might these "violent protesters" end up being?

    ANY demonstrator? This is nothing if not an attack on the first amendment and it's CHILLING.

    We don't get rid of this creep until we get rid of Trump...and the sycophant Senators that confirmed him and refused to Impeach Trump

    If the idea of a commission to study what happened during the reign of terror that is the Trump admin is realized Barr should be at the top of the list of those called to defend himself for his utter corruption and contempt for the law. He is more frightening than Trump in many ways because he is willing to be a complicit stooge in tearing down the DoJ and everything it formerly stood for.

    LOL.. Sometimes all you can say is wow.... And suddenly faced with having to be accountable for the grievous behavior of previous administrations, now Lesh can be disgruntled, we get histrionics that suddenly those being held accountable are being "politically targeted" instead of just being held accountable for their illegal actions.

    What were you asking to be responded to? Yes, there are likely examples of sedition. I'm sorry you can't accept that, but the evidence is there for you to see, should you want.

    Whining about it doesn't seem successful.

    Which admin and what did they do? You see, so many of the threads written by Trump supporters begin with unfounded claims that need to be proven before commentary is warranted.

    Hmm.. Let us make a list. Illegal use of unmasking, illegal use of a visa warrant on a political opponent. Illegal use of a federal agency on US soil. Illegal action taken by prosecutorial misconduct. I mean, there's an F'in list.

    For some reason some folks are opposed to cleaning up real corruption in the justice system.

    Repeating long discredited right wing myths only makes Lesh’s point!

    Hmm.. myths... gosh that's cute. And thanks for yet another excellent example of "cause mommy told you" theory. I understand these are uncomfortable conversations for folks who aren't used to being challenged for their misconduct, but even by now, folks like yourselves should be able to see the writing on the walls....

    New bogey man?

    Trump officials and the GOP are embracing and promoting Q Anon publicly.

    And you try and write it off as a “bogey man”

    Well, you’re right.

    It is a bogey man. Yet another half baked set of idiotic made up conspiracy theories passed around by operatives to fill the empty heads of no nothings and to stoke racism.

    You guys eat this stuff up.

    From birtherism, to FEMA concentration camps, to Jade Helm, to imaginary ISIS training camps in Mexico, to Q, right wingers are total suckers tor idiotic made up conspiracy theories.

    Reading nonsense on social media and from sources you never heard of before, and won’t see again are the go to for Trumpsters.

    No, sedition is not a joke and it shouldn't be inserted as a political strategy. I find it completely absurd that this would be a debate. We can do better.

    Bill Barr has done an excellent job rooting out the political corruption from the last 8 years. Dems are pissed their corrupt obamagate gang has been called out

    Bill Barr engineered a get out of jail free card for his fuhrer.

    As for “rooting out the political corruption from the last eight years”.....name one indictment, one prosecution, one conviction that has occurred.

    Take all the time you need.

    Not sure what your first sentence is about.

    Sure...one of the Obamagate Gang has already plead guilty for lying to get an illegal warrant to spy on the Trump campaign:

    Small beer. You can’t do better than that?

    Four years of yelling this line, and this is all you’ve got!

    Wanna compare lists? I suspect not!

    And you, and everyone else, knows EXACTLY what the first sentence is about.

    Better then what? I think it's great we are rooting out the Obamagate gangster....lying on a warrant, to a Court....to get an illegal warrant to spy on a campaign is huge.

    We can't allow that sort of thing to go unprosecuted in this country....

    also I like large beers....and this is rather large...this conduct, Obamagate, is the largest scandal in American history
