For those unable to watch the Barr testimony---in a nutshell: 1.) the Republicans are spending at

least half their time asking why the Special Counsel did not investigate the crimes of Clinton and Obama, 2.) Barr has LIED so many times about matters which are easily refuted, that I have lost track (i.e., Trump did not tell McGahn to fire Comey!)

I feel like I'm watching a nation defile itself in living color and in slow motion.

On edit: Durbin is kicking ass!

I'm just a general citizen and can answer that question. The SC didnt investigate the crimes of Clinton and Obama b/c the SC was appointed and tasked to investigate RUSSIAN MEDDLING IN OUR ELECTION! These Repukes are so damn pathetic and predictable anymore it makes me want to vomit. Obama and Clinton were 3 years ago, how long will we keep talking about email servers and FBI love affairs?

1. There was a nearly 2 year pursuit of HRC over emails & Benghazi. So THERE WAS AN INVESTIGATION
2. They had 6 years to chase after BHO scandals, but even they knew there weren't any.

Which isn't saying much but his lies have a veneer that will fool many people. He is more dangerous in some ways because of that.
