July 15, 2019

Sen. Dick Durbin
July 12, 2019

Sen. Dick Durbin
May 23, 2019
Foster Introduces Legislation to Increase Accountability of National Security Council
Rep. Bill Foster
May 23, 2019
Tweet - "The Secretary of Defense must advise a President with no experience in national security & a limited grasp of the life & death decisions he must make. He also must counter the extreme views of Bolton and Pompeo. It remains to be seen whether Patrick Shanahan is up to that job."
Sen. Dick Durbin
May 22, 2019
Tweet - "President Trump walked into his Cabinet Room and told the Democratic leaders he had invited to discuss infrastructure that the meeting was canceled. He objected to the ongoing Congressional investigation of his alleged obstruction of justice."
Sen. Dick Durbin
May 22, 2019
Tweet - "I'll be joining @CuomoPrimeTime tonight at 9pm ET to discuss the infrastructure meeting the President cancelled at the White House today because he doesn't like being investigated by Congress. These are separate issues & it shouldn't stop him from working on a bipartisan issue."

Sen. Dick Durbin
May 3, 2019
Tweet - "Given AG Barr's statements and actions with respect to Mueller's investigation, his credibility and independence are in doubt. For that reason, he must recuse himself from any ongoing investigations involving evidence referred by the special counsel's office."

Durbin Presses Senate Judiciary Committee To Bring In Mueller And McGahn To Testify On The Mueller Report
Sen. Dick Durbin
May 2, 2019
Tweet - "I believe Attorney General Barr should step aside from the 14 ongoing criminal investigations referred to DOJ from Special Counsel Mueller. I don't think he has the objectivity that we should expect from an AG who has the authority over these investigations."
Sen. Dick Durbin
May 1, 2019
Tweet - "Barr said an AG shouldn't show any political favoritism. He did exactly that with the March 24th letter. He did exactly that with the press conference before the release of the Mueller report. It's inconsistent with his promise to the American people & to the Judiciary Committee."
Sen. Dick Durbin
May 1, 2019
CNN "CNN Newsroom" - Transcript: Interview with Sen. Richard Durbin
Sen. Dick Durbin
May 1, 2019
Tweet - "At today's hearing, I told AG Barr that his actions surrounding the Mueller report have left me wondering what he really thinks his role is as AG. So far, he's acted more like the president's personal attorney and not the nation's top law enforcement officer."
Sen. Dick Durbin
May 1, 2019
Tweet - "AG Barr has whitewashed the Mueller report. I believe it's clear he took the report's findings and twisted them politically to the benefit of the President. That isn't Barr's role as Attorney General, and I don't believe he served the cause of justice."
Sen. Dick Durbin
April 19, 2019
Tweet - "Barr's dismissal of Pres. Trump's intent on at least 10 specific occasions to obstruct justice because the President was "frustrated and angered" is ludicrous. If frustration and anger are defenses to criminal conduct, this President by Barr's definition is clearly above the law."
Sen. Dick Durbin
April 19, 2019
Tweet - "Bill Barr's pathetic performance yesterday put him in the Kirstjen Nielsen "just followed orders" category of Trump officials. He should have gone for the Jim Mattis "depart with dignity " path.""

Sen. Dick Durbin
April 10, 2019
Tweet - "President Trump's Interior Secretary nominee, David Bernhardt, has spent his career lobbying against conservation policies in order to enrich Big Oil. He favors fossil fuel interests over the environmental, health, and safety interests of Americans. I oppose his nomination."
