‘It’s Over... We Have to Stop Using the Criminal Justice Process as a Political Weapon’
2019-05-02
[THEGATEWAYPUNDIT] Stolen Valor Senator Richard "Da Nang Dick" Blumenthal (D-CT) tried his hardest to intimidate Bill Barr ‐ it didn’t work.

Blumenthal, who lied about his Vietnam War service, had the gall to tell Barr "history will judge you harshly."

Bill Barr was unfazed and reminded Blumenthal that he, as the Attorney General is in charge of the Justice Department, and in no way was he going to recuse himself from any of the ongoing investigations.

At the end of the questioning from Blumenthal, Barr schooled the lying Stolen Valor Senator on the job of the DOJ, which is to establish whether there was a crime. Barr told Da Nang Dick to get over the Mueller investigation because it’s over and his department determined there was no crime.

"We have to stop using the criminal justice process as a political weapon," Barr said.

#3  DId a Democrats say this to prevent repurcussions after all the damage they've done the last two years?

#2  Using the criminal justice system as a political weapon? It was honed to a fine art during the last administration. It would seem that malfeasance of office and abuse of power are already illegal. Maybe it's just a matter of having the will to prosecute. During the last administration the AG was basically a door stop for trying to do anything. Everything was stopped there.

#1  Sort of like Reid eliminating the old Senate rules to get Obama's nominees onto the courts. Now they whine and cry about the Trunks doing it. If they want to politicize DOJ as a weapon, they'll regret the day someone on the other side has no problem using it on them. They'll whine of course. However, when real truth and justice are subordinated to the pursuit of power, sow and ye shall reap.
