Trump’s New AG’s Response to Democrats

Law Hammer Justice Right Court Horizontal

Bill Barr, the new nominee for replacing Jeff Sessions as Attorney General, stood firm against Democrat requests for his recusal. The Daily Caller reports:

President Donald Trump’s nominee for Attorney General, Bill Barr, said on Tuesday that he would not sacrifice the powers of the Attorney General’s office simply to secure his confirmation.

Barr’s comments came after Democratic Sen. Mazie Hirono began questioning him about acting AG Matthew Whitaker during his confirmation hearing on Capitol Hill. Hirono asked why Barr wasn’t willing to emulate outgoing AG Jeff Sessions and recuse himself from the Mueller investigation.

“These are not normal times. This is not 27 years ago. Today the president is Donald Trump who will do anything to protect himself,” she said. “He wants you, who has written a manifesto about why the president shouldn’t be prosecuted at least for obstruction of justice, who has met with and consulted with the president’s defense attorneys, who have written op-eds defending his firings of Sally Yates and James Comey, to be his attorney general. So, in this context, just asking us to trust you is not enough.”

“The regulations and the responsibilities of the attorney general as the head of the agency, vest that responsibility in the attorney general, and I am not going to surrender the responsibilities of the attorney general to get the title. I don’t need the title,” he said. “If you don’t, if you don’t trust me to …”

Barr has already held the title of Attorney General, so he does not need the job and prestige – he will oversee the Mueller probe as any Attorney General would.

Back in 1941 Mazie Hirrono was the enemy who attacked Pearl Harbor. Today, in 2019, she remains the enemy and needs to be recognized and dealt with as such…

It is encouraging that this AG seems to have a backbone and hopefully will not be intimidated by the Democrats!!

I’m surprised that the b**** asked him any questions seeing how she wants every WHITE man to shut-up. hor-ono needs to go back to the 25 cent street corner where the demoTRASH party found her. I didn’t watch the hearing because to sit through more of the demoTRASH’s BS is more than I can handle. Every TV in my house would be broken. I did notice the same dirtbags asking the same biased and ignorant questions from watching Fox.

Judge Judy would be a better choice for AG attorney general position. It is now time to shun all “deep state” shadow government operatives.

What a joke. “Democrat” party. More like the Communist party. Both hate the American people. Both suppress freedom of religion. Both hate the fact that our President Trump is causing our country to prosper and value freedom again. Both use propaganda and disinformation techniques. Both have fixed elections. Both want open borders more easily to invade America and cause her ruin. Both are tyrants.

God bless President Trump. God bless America.

Since the democratic party voted to remove God from their platform back in 2008, Satan was there to fill the void that God left. The democratic party is children of Satan and are his useful idiots. Jesus said, “That Satan came to steal, kill, and destroy.” and Jesus said,”That Satan was a LIAR from the beginning and the father of ALL LIES.” So you don’t have to look very far to see who the democratic belongs too therefore you can call it the demoncratic party. If a person belongs or leans toward the democratic persuasion, my suggestion is to run baby run as far from that party as you can, they are the party of resist=rebellion=witchcraft all of Satan. When lips start moving you know they are going to tell you a LIE.

The demoncrats sure have a lot of nerve calling out the president for obstruction of justice since that is ALL that the demoncrats have been doing since 2016! If they create a situation they had better learn that you reap what you sow! HYPOCRITES!!!

Democrats – liberals – progressives – socialists – Marxists. Dr. Savage has got it right: “Liberalism is a mental disorder.” These people are the disease trying to kill America – the greatest, most generous, caring, protecting nation in the history of the world.
