At first I read Bill Barr as Bill Burr, and I was so confused.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I think they should subpoena bill burr, only because I wanna see it televised so badly.
Look at me over here talking about Zip……….RECRUITER!
🎶 me undies, me undies, no more sweaty balls 🎶
Helix? Hehlix?
Given the amount of hounding he's been through, this has the feel of what's good for the goose is good for the gander- I mean, being tied up in court even more (and subjecting everything related to it to discovery) is a lovely way to remind overly-litigious people that if you're gonna live by that sword, you can die by it too
A shrewd move by his attorneys because they are making the same claim that Trump and MAGA are making in Trump's cases
Maybe I missed it, but to what end? To angle for a mistrial? I agree that Hunter has been treated very unfairly and used as a political distraction, but there has to be a purpose for the subpoenas relevant to the case.
From the filing, should have been included in the article:
Mr. Biden seeks specific information from three former DOJ officials and the former President that goes to the heart of his defense that this is, possibly, a vindictive or selective prosecution arising from an unrelenting pressure campaign beginning in the last administration, in violation of Mr. Biden’s Fifth Amendment rights under the Constitution.
I mean, yeah that sounds fair I guess. Cause I absolutely think that happened.
"Witch hunt!" Trump screams, as usual, incapable of anything other than projection.
Watch his lawyers file literal photocopies of this motion in all of his current cases, crossing out Hunter Biden's name and replacing it with his in Sharpie.
Trump and his lawyers seem more like off brand crayon kinda people.
crossing out Hunter Biden’s name and replacing it with his in Sharpie.
The "I know you are but what am I" maneuver, bold move..
Thank you! I tried following the other link in the article, and it just talked about the plea deals that fell through regarding his case.
He's not wrong.
The Real MVP! TY! I'd give you worthless fake internet points if we were still on Reddit.
I really really like to find actual documents (or courtroom videos, but don't you dare post those to !politics), as opposed to other people's take on the same. While journalistic experience can definitely provide context and insights, I think it's important to have the actual thing at hand (as evidenced by this article failing to include the pertinent above quote from the filing).
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: [email protected]
I completely sympathize. And have a similar "it ain't much, but it's honest work" approach to lay articles posted in science related magazines/ communities, of posting a link to the peer reviewed research article when it's not cited or included in the lay article. Please carry on, you are making the world a better place.
