Should Barr’s Russian Connections Remove Him from any Involvement in the Mueller Report?

We knew before he was confirmed that Barr would be nothing more than an errand boy for your illegitimate and fascist president. He has already offered a fallacious summation of the Mueller Report, and has been busy since that time attempting to redact most of the 380 pages which will damage Trump’s failed presidency. Barr joins a long list of unfit White House employees whose only purpose is to cover-up Trump’s crimes and lies.

However, there is another valid reason why Barr must recuse himself from any involvement in the handling and dissemination of the Mueller Report. Barr has deep Russian connections.

When Barr was in the private sector, he had multiple connections to Russian business interests who have connections to individuals investigated in the Mueller report. He, like Sessions, must remove himself from any involvement in a situation which would or could be a conflict of interests.

“The legal standard is really clear about these issues. It’s not about actual conflict, it’s about the appearance of a conflict, about the appearance of bias,” Jed Shugerman, a professor at Fordham University’s School of Law and an expert on judicial and government ethics, tells Newsweek . “The problem is that we have so many flagrant conflicts that are so obvious, we get distracted from what the legal standard is.”

The part of this story that worries me is that Trump and his cronies believe they are above the law. Trump’s presidency is all about personal gain. The Constitution has been crushed beneath the “bone-spurred” feet of your obese president. He constantly violates his oath to “preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States.”

Trump and his circle of sinners have made a mockery of what was the most important elected office in the world. Trump is not an American president; he is a failed businessman who is mentally incompetent and must be removed from office by implementing the 25th amendment.

Unfortunately, his Republican puppets will refuse to do the right thing; the right thing for the people of our nation and the future of our country. The once GOP is now the enemy of the people.

You will hear this from me today and until November 4, 2020 when the election is over. Voting is not only your Constitutional right, it is your duty. It’s your country and you must become involved in its future, because America’s future is your destiny.

Tell your friends, “The Truth Lives Here.”
