Republican politicians and associated committees are sending out desperate fundraising emails begging the GOP faithful to help save America by getting behind Herschel Walker in his Dec. 6 runoff race

It's bizarre watching Barr try to thread the needle knowing he covered for a criminal like Trump in the White House.  'Well, he was president then' just doesn't outweigh how much Barr put his thumb on the scales to protect his republican king. That said, his facts-laden rebukes are powerful repub on repub criticism and impacts independent nonpolitical voters.

 

Former Attorney General Bill Barr is calling for Republicans to “come to grips” with the “hard truths” about former President Trump’s conduct in the classified documents case that resulted in Trump’s latest indictment.

 

“For the sake of the country, our party, and a basic respect for the truth, it is time that Republicans come to grips with the hard truths about President Trump’s conduct and its implications,” Barr wrote in an op-ed published in The Free Press on Monday. 

 

“Chief among them: Trump’s indictment is not the result of unfair government persecution,” Barr continued. “This is a situation entirely of his own making. The effort to present Trump as a victim in the Mar-a-Lago document affair is cynical political propaganda.”

 

Barr, who served as attorney general under Trump, suggested that the former president took classified materials with him from the White House simply to “gratify his ego.”

 

“Why would Trump risk the safety of the American people by hanging on to these documents in the face of the government’s lawful demands for their return?” he asked. “Knowing him, it was an act of self-assertion merely to gratify his ego.”

Will be interesting to see how this plays out for Santos.  We'll know soon enough.

 

A federal judge on Tuesday denied Rep. George Santos’s (R-N.Y.) latest attempt to keep sealed the identities of the people who financially backed his criminal bond. U.S. District Judge Joanna Seybert, an appointee of former President Clinton, ordered the names be unsealed at noon ET on Thursday, giving the bond sureties a window to withdraw beforehand.

 

A coalition of media organizations pushed to make the filings public, but Joe Murray, Santos’s attorney, previously indicated the embattled congressman would rather be detained ahead of trial than allow their identities to be unsealed.

I can’t imagine Republicans expected Durham to be embarrassed so badly in open testimony when they called on him to testify.

 

That said, you can’t expect Fox News coverage after the fact to ever show coverage that makes it look like anything but vindication for Trump.

that’s why it’s critical to show Trumpers the actual facts, the scorecard of judicial convictions, like Ted Lieu did with Durham.

I'm with you Nancy...GOP has turned the House into a true shit-show

 

'You Look Miserable': Nancy Pelosi Takes The House Mic To Mock Republicans

 

“Today we are on the floor of the House, where the other side has turned this chamber ― where slavery was abolished, where Medicare and Social Security and everything were instituted ― they’ve turned it into a puppet show,” Pelosi said on the House floor. “And you know what? The puppeteer, Donald Trump, is shining a light on the strings.”

“You look miserable,” the California Democrat added with a smile, turning to the GOP side of the chamber. “You look miserable.”
