WASHINGTON — House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., rebuked Attorney General William Barr on Thursday for his role in reducing the proposed sentence of Trump associate Roger Stone earlier this week. "A.G. Barr has deeply damaged the rule of law by withdrawing the DOJ's sentencing recommendation, the act of interference in Trump's retribution against [the] lead attorney in the Stone case," Pelosi told reporters at her weekly press conference. Pelosi called Barr a "sad disappointment to our country" and said that he has "stooped to such levels." She was referring to the Justice Department's decision to overrule career prosecutors and propose a reduction in the sentence for Stone. The reversal, announced Tuesday, prompted all four prosecutors to withdraw from the criminal case. "The American people deserve better," Pelosi said. "This is not what America is about. It is so wrong." She also blasted President Donald Trump on Thursday for demonstrating "once again, that he has no respect for the rule of law" by "engaging in political interference" in the sentencing of Stone. The speaker's comments come a day after it was announced Barr would testify before the House Judiciary Committee on March 31 amid numerous concerns from Democrats about his actions as head of the Department of Justice. Democrats said in a letter to Barr on Wednesday that they plan to ask him about the change in the proposed sentence for Stone. Pelosi has called for an investigation into the change, and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., has asked that the DOJ's inspector general look into what occurred. Barr has refused to cooperate with House Democrats in the past. Last May, the attorney general skipped a Judiciary Committee hearing on then-special counsel Robert Mueller's report on Russian election interference. In July, the House voted to hold Barr and Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross in contempt of Congress for obstructing a probe into the administration's failed bid to add a citizenship question to the 2020 census. Pelosi was asked Thursday whether House Democrats were considering impeaching Barr, but she said only that Democrats were focused on protecting and defending the Constitution by impeachment the president. She added, "There's so much malfeasance of the people in the executive branch right now." Asked at his weekly news conference Thursday whether Trump was interfering in the Stone case, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., said, "No, the president is not interfering, because if you listen to the Department of Justice, they made the decision before the tweet ever went out." Noting that Barr has agreed to testify before the Judiciary Committee, he said there is "no issue here."
Poster Comment: Questioning the AG and the 'rule of law' by a half-baked simpleton who hails from the city of shit. This administration needs to get on the trail of the Democrats who caused this investigative shitstorm taking up over three years! Starting with Clinton and Comey there is a score of useless humans who need to be imprisoned for what they've done. Stone doesn't deserve eight hours in prison. He should be a free man.

Is this goofy BEEahhhtch still Speaker? Figgered anyone honorable wouldda already committed hari-kari by now. Oh no, I forgot, this goofy BEEahhhtch has no honor so she's helping to hari-kari her entire despicable RAT party...MUD
"Devolve Power Outta the Federal Leviathan and Back to the States, Weren't they done?
Check those four resumes...I smell a RAT (or 4)...MUD
"Devolve Power Outta the Federal Leviathan and Back to the States, Uh-huh. I guess if Barr wants to know how to properly apply the rule of law, he need only look to Pelosi's House, specifically Schiff's House Intelligence Committee.
Barr stinks, Pelosi is right about this one.
Pelosi is never tight about anything.
Liberals are like Slinkys. They're good for nothing, but somehow they bring a smile to your face as you shove them down the stairs.
So says the one who slobbers all over Johnsons. You shia liberals hate Barr because he is taking on the secular assholes like the Johnsons you slobber all over. This is the reason shia Hondoper hates Bill Barr. To much truth for Hondo. Truth makes him angry.
Pelosi is another victim of the disease suffered by all Democrat-Communists: rectitis. I notice that as she walks across a stage to the microphone she walks as though a corncob has been shoved up her ass. She no doubt has had many objects shoved up her ass.
