I preferred Whitaker 😂😂😂SenatorISeeYouAreOutOfTime

Newly-confirmed Attorney General William Barr has already installed family members in the White House Counsel’s Office and the Treasury Department. That should make leaking a lot more efficient.

'Overcoming' 🙄. Guy is the traitor & chief's lapdog. All of them need to be locked up. All of them. Hope hicks. Sarah huckabee. Barr. Whitaker. And all the rest.

I am so damn sick and tired of listening to the Democrats whine about the Russian investigation that we all know was created based on untrue information please senators in the Democratic Party STFU realDonaldTrump POTUS seanhannity

Finally JUSTICE coming in America! These better lawyer up!

My perspective I think Barr fooled Trump

👎🏼

Everyone is a Russian spy in the McCarthy hearing party.

dancindoti Was PeeWee Herman too busy?

Typo... “overcoming” should be ignoring”. Magically his son in law leaves DOJ to work for the target of the Mueller probe. Sounds legit.

Raising the Barr to a much needed higher standard. Congratulations to incoming AG Wiilam Barr. Time to look at ALL Wrongdoers; leave NO stone unturned.

GOD SAVED OUR COUNTRY AGAIN. THANK YOU LORD. AMEN

Don’t forget he’s going to investigate all leakers and prosecute them.

He will not be impartial, he's already stated as much. America is being run by thieves.

Oh, Mr. Trump, we are sooo tired of winning. LOL!

Disappointed that RandPaul voted No

If the people of the USA are lucky, AG Barr will insure a Federal Grand Jury is impaneled to look into the entire HRC/Democrat/Dossier/DOJ 'conspiracy' AND ACTUALLY HOLD FOLKS ACCOUNTABLE IN A COURT OF LAW W/APPROPRIATE PUNISHMENT vs the 'do nothing & get no results CONGRESS!

Funny how GOP thinks Barr will clean up DOJ, FBI. He's friends with Mueller...Served in Bush Administration...Bushes are friends with Clintons and Obamas. Status quo.

The Republicans go all in to obstruct the ongoing investigation of any and all crimes committed by DJT. They know that if the truth comes out it is all over for their party. At least with watergate there were a few honest republicans to stand up against wrongs committed.FoxNews

Vote no! He hates the Constitution

It's not the democrats' decision.

This pic looks like he just got away with something naughty.

A little premature don't you think. Stop 'creating' news, go back to reporting it.

Here we go!

Lowering the Barr!

Senate confirms William Barr as attorney generalWASHINGTON (AP) — The Senate on Thursday confirmed William Barr as attorney general, placing the veteran government official and lawyer atop the Justice Department as special counsel Robert Mueller investigates Russian interference in the 2016 election. The Senate voted 54-45 to confirm him, mostly along party lines. Barr, who previously served as attorney general from 1991 to 1993, will succeed Jeff Sessions. Trump pushed Sessions out of office last year after railing against his decision to recuse himself from the Russia investigation. YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSEE....!!! and sing us some diddys from Elton Johns discography History is watching, Mr. Barr.
