Timeline: Why Biden special counsel is testifying on Capitol Hill | CNN Politics

Hur's testimony will provide Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee an opportunity to explore the special counsel's perceptions of Biden and his memory lapses. But GOP lawmakers are also likely to argue there is a double standard between the prosecution of former President Donald Trump for mishandling classified data and the decision by Hur not to prosecute Biden. More on that below...

The biggest surprise from John Durham's testimony to the House

That's not to say that the day was completely pointless. Durham confirmed under Democratic questioning that current Attorney General Merrick Garland didn't interfere with his investigation or tell him that any potential targets were off-limits. He admitted that the reason that former President Obama and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton still walk free, no matter how much Trumpworld wants them behind bars, is that there's simply no evidence of wrongdoing. Likewise, none of the three individuals he did prosecute, two of whom were acquitted, were accused of taking part in a supposed "deep state" plot to take down Trump. It's a far cry from when the former president was promising that Durham's probe would reveal "the crime of the century."…

Attorney General William Barr on Sunday voiced scathing criticism of the Democratic Party, claiming the left is trying to tear down U.S. institutions in a pursuit for “total victory.” The comments came in an expansive one-hour interview with Fox News host Mark Levin that touched on subjects including Barr’s recent testimony before the House Judiciary Committee, the Black Lives Matter protests and the expansion of mail-in voting amid the coronavirus pandemic. https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/511271-barr-the-left-believes-in-tearing-down-the-system

William Barr is unethical and dishonest and should be disciplined

“How can you tell when a lawyer is lying?” the old joke begins.
The answer: “Whenever his lips are moving.”

The humor reflects the reality of how an average citizen views the legal profession. It's seen as mendacious and amoral. Of course, the reality is different. While not every lawyer can be an Atticus Finch defending the innocent, most are hardworking and honest. And then there is the attorney general, William Barr, who is scheduled to testify Tuesday before the House Judiciary Committee under threat of subpoena.....

Impeachment witness predicted Trump would dangle federal aid to states - Business Insider

On December 4, Pamela Karlan, a professor at Stanford Law School, presented a hypothetical scenario to the House Judiciary Committee. "What would you think if, when your governor asked the federal government for the disaster assistance that Congress has provided, the president responded, 'I would like you to do us a favor: I'll meet with you and send the disaster relief once you brand my opponent a criminal'?"

FBI has finally elevated far-right domestic terrorism to the top tier of threats to Americans

That recent spate of FBI arrests of violent neo-Nazis planning acts of terrorism is apparently not a fluke: The agency, according to its director, now recognizes far-right extremists as the leading threat of domestic terrorism in the United States, and has adjusted its enforcement work accordingly. Appearing before the House Judiciary Committee’s oversight panel this week, FBI Director Christopher Wray explained that he had placed “racially motivated violent extremists” at the agency’s highest threat level, comparable to that assigned to terrorism by Islamic State actors. ....

WATCH: House Democrats unveil 2 articles of impeachment against Trump

House Democrats on Tuesday morning announced two articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump. The articles charge that the president committed high crimes and misdemeanors serious enough to merit being removed from office. “He endangers our democracy; he endangers our national security,” Rep. Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., of the House Judiciary Committee said during the Dec. 10 announcement. The first article charges the president abused his power by withholding military aid to Ukraine in exchange for investigations into his political rivals, and the second charges that the president also directed "unprecedented" and "categorical" obstruction of Congress in its investigation into whether the president withheld military aid to Ukraine for personal benefit.....
