Why won’t AG Barr charge a terrorist caught plotting to kill Trump critics?

The judge has "grave concerns" about Hasson, who planned to kill Nancy Pelosi, Democratic presidential candidates, and other Trump critics. But Barr refuses to bring charges.

Impeachment increasingly likely as Democrats tire of Trump’s stonewalling: report

According to a report at The Daily Beast, President Donald Trump’s continuous refusal to allow White House aides to appear before House committees investigating his administration is pushing Democrats closer to filing articles of impeachment.

The report states that Democratic leaders who have urged members to go slow on impeachment talk are having a change of heart as the President battles them over everything from revealing his tax returns to allowing a White House official testify on security clearances given to members of Trump’s family.

“The White House’s plans to indefinitely stiff-arm their requests for documents and testimony, combined with the instances of alleged obstruction already laid out in Mueller’s report, is complicating that plan— and may drag House Democrats toward impeachment as an appropriately forceful way to respond to the administration’s conduct,” the Beast reports.

According to one unidentified Democrat lawmaker, “I think the combination of the chilling depictions in the Mueller Report and Trump’s opacity is moving some members into the impeachment camp. Translation: it’s always the cover-up that gets ‘em.”

Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) — a frequent Trump critic — said the handling n by Attorney General Bill Barr of the special counsel Robert Mueller’s report on Trump may have been the final straw.

“I have a hunch that he is moving the whole caucus closer to seeing impeachable offenses,” Raskin said in an interview.

Pete Buttigieg candidacy has GOP worried they may see exodus of gay conservative voters

Tana Ganeva TANA GANEVA
27 APR 2019 AT 11:19 ET

Democratic candidate Pete Buttigieg has already drawn the ire of conservatives for identifying as an openly gay Christian. Last weekend, evangelical Franklin Graham called on Buttigieg to repent for the “sin” of being gay. But Buttigieg’s sexual and religious identity is also causing a more surprising controversy.

On Saturday, Politico reported that Buttigeig is causing a split among some gay Republicans after he attacked Vice President Mike Pence. But that also shows that Buttigieg, whose platform is quite conservative, has the potential to peel away support among gay Republicans.

“Some gay conservatives have spoken positively about Buttigieg — a moderate-sounding Midwesterner who married his husband last year — being a leap forward for gay Americans and politicians,” Politico writes. “The dust-up is riling up parts of the right and serving as a high-profile test of how the broader electorate might handle the nation’s first prominent gay presidential candidate,” Politico continues.

Politico interviewed the founder the Log Cabin Republicans, one of the most prominent organizations of gay Republicans, who pointed out that Buttigeig’s platform is palatable to most gay conservatives.

Democrats can put Mnuchin in prison right now for hiding Trump’s taxes: ex-Watergate prosecutor

Tana Ganeva TANA GANEVA - COMMENTARY
27 APR 2019 AT 12:41 ET

President Donald Trump continues to refuse to show Congress his taxes, citing an ongoing audit as an excuse.

On Saturday, former Watergate prosecutor Nick Akerman appeared on MSNBC’s Joy Reid show to demand Trump’s taxes. He even went so far as to suggest that officials who are helping shield Trump’s finances from Congressional scrutiny belong in prison if they continue to do so.

“They have every right to get all of these documents and all of these witnesses, starting with the Secretary Treasurer Mnuchin who is refusing to turn over taxes even though there is a specific statute that provides that the IRS has to turn it over to Congress, and on top of it there is good reasons to receive those taxes.”

“I believe Congress has to take a very hard line,” Akerman continued. He notes that Congress has the power to hold officials in contempt which could lead to prison.

“If the Secretary of Treasury doesn’t produce those documents he’s ought to be held in contempt. And he ought to go to prison.”
