Does this latest maneuver by Trump and Barr make impeachment more likely?

Last edited Fri May 24, 2019, 05:24 PM - Edit history (1)

He's going after his political enemies.

And he's using the intelligence agencies of the United States to prove them guilty. He's using Barr to do his dirty work.

It is more than likely that they can find selective intelligence to help prove their theories. There is a lot of stuff in intelligence reports.

But, we have to ask.

Why does William Barr get access to all our intelligence in regards to the Russian investigation and the Congress cannot even get the full Mueller report from Barr?

This is getting very serious very quickly.

i would say we are very close to a "when, not if" situation. in my estimation the answer is yes to your question, but i am not a lawyer. just a fretting citizen of the USA, the one that has a constitution and a balance of power and is governed of, for, and by the people.

Impeachment hinges on mueller’s testimony and since he doesn’t want to testify in public, impeachment not looking good

It's the fucking twilight zone

trumps & barr's investigations will be on primetime while we're still in court.

This is pure Putin, pure Hitler, pure authoritarian. There is still time and still resources to fight this....but.....it’s not just happening here as Rachel got into the other night.

It’s 2019 but this has a 1930s feel to what’s going on.

The 2020 elections could not be more important.
