Does anyone on the Right know why? I would wager not.

In June, Barr wrote a memo to Justice Department officials to attack the special counsel investigation, and specifically a theory of the case for potential p**********l obstruction of justice based entirely on media speculation regarding Mueller’s intentions. It’s weird for a lawyer to write a 19-page single-spaced memo attacking a hypothetical theory. But the memo includes two sentences that betray both Barr’s extremism in defining the powers of the president and a deep lack of seriousness when it comes to constitutional interpretation.

Barr: “Because the President alone constitutes the Executive branch, the President cannot ‘recuse’ himself” from control over any federal prosecutorial investigation, including an investigation in which he has a personal stake. In other words, he is constitutionally entitled to call off any prosecution, even if he, his family members, or close associates are likely targets.

What Barr ignores is that Article II of the Constitution—the charter for the executive branch—explicitly refutes this reading. Article II refers specifically to separate “executive Departments.” So, constitutionally, it is nonsense to assert that the president “alone” is the executive branch.

This outrageous memo was like a resume to Trump to appoint him. The corruption in Trump's WH is on a level of utter openness and shamelessness. No one there can tell the difference anymore.

There is more. As AG for G.H.W Bush, he advised that president to pardon all the Iran-Contra defendants...when that president was just coming to be investigated for his part. That probe ended abruptly.

His extreme favoritism for "executive privilege," as both demonstrated back in 1992 and in June this year, proves he cannot possibly be impartial if the Mueller Probe finds indictable evidence against Trump.

The Constitution of the United States is written in common English, no incoherent sentences, no verbose or convoluted paragraphs, no big words requiring dictionary definitions, it is all straight forward and logical. It is no mystery why l*****t progressives find the document so troublesome, so difficult to comprehend, so offensive.

Article II begins "The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America". This begs the question, who in the executive branch outranks the president? Who does he answer to?

Every president to date has invoked executive privilege at one time or another. Ike coined the term and used the privilege to protect his cabinet and principle officers from the McCarthy investigation. Nixon used it once to cover his own ass. Clinton invoked executive privilege 14 times. Obama used it to prevent congressional investigators from obtaining Fast and Furious documents.

Final question: Is the Mueller investigation impartial?

what is just as important is the evidence gathered true
