The House Democrats need to haul Barr’s ass in and make him explain “What the Fuck?”

Lynch needed to recuse herself from the investigation into Clinton because of a five minute conversation with Clinton’s husband on the tarmac of an airport.

Barr is implicated specifically as part of the whistleblower complaint he tried to bury, and on the Trump-Zelenski call which have led to articles of impeachment and should be the subject of a special council investigation and I have yet to hear a single Democrat call for him to recuse himself. 

It’s insane how Democrats consistently get lapped by Republicans on messaging.  That shit isn’t that hard.

Harder than you think. The real world media is consumed with ‘both sides’ so it’s very easy for the GOP to just fucking lie and not get called on it consistently. They also lie constantly.

Their media operates on a separate plane of reality and it is all encompassing. GOP lies in our world, the reality based community, are gospel on Earth II.

Let us all know when you get to Koch Industries that were taken over by Charles and David in 1983. and its subsequent investment strategies.
it might take more time that your hurried previous Google search.

Not hurried.  Been aware of the Koch family since the 1960s, when we lived in Wichita.  Sure, they've done a fair amount of whitewashing and laundering since the 80s.  Dave sponsors "Nova"!  Woohoo.   Meanwhile the dark money flows.  And flows.
And flows where?

In1980, you may recall that David Koch was the Libertarian candidate for VPOTUS.  The party’s plans included the abolition of Medicare, Medicaid, social security (to be made voluntary), the Department of Transportation, the Federal Aviation Administration, the Environmental Protection Agency, the Department of Energy, the Food and Drug Administration, and the Consumer Product Safety Commission.

The L party also sought to privatize all roads and highways, to privatize all schools, to privatize all mail delivery and, eventually, the repeal of all taxation.

How have the Libertarians fared with the voters?

It’s how fake libertarians have fared with regulators that is a huge and potentially fatal problem for the United States.

I am glad they discovered this, but both the Trump and Obama administrations should be strung up by their short hairs for this.

Why don’t you throw in Bush while you’re at it? Especially considering how lying us into Iraq is one of the reasons the VA is overwhelmed.

Judge Napolitano is not among my favorite people.

Democrats are not among his favorite people.

But his view on the issue of obstruction is clear and consistent:
