The Justice Department defended its handling of special counsel Robert Mueller’s report on possible obstruction of justice by President Trump and Russian election interference as Capitol Hill Democrats ramped up demands for the entire report

WASHINGTON—.

A spokeswoman for the Justice Department said that every page of the report given to Attorney General William Barr was labeled with a warning that it may contain grand jury material, which by law is confidential and cannot be released without the approval of a judge.

Congress will hear a lot of 'no' this year.

Really and I have a bridge to sell you-is this coming from the man who wrote a memo to get the job as head of DOJ-Barr has no credibility just like the rest of the Trump’s cabinet-

The Democrats are nasty

Can’t say it’s just democrats demanding the full release of the Mueller report now that Senator ChuckGrassley has done the right thing and said it should be released.

William Barr looks like Droopy McPoodle

“Under Pressure.”

Yeah, that's why Barr ignored the summaries Mueller's team included within the report and opted instead to spin the findings to please his boss. Barr forgets he works for the citizens of America, NOT Donald tRump

Good for you, AG Barr! TheJusticeDept

Liberal trash will lose this one

Is their unwillingness to move on an admission that Democrats lack the gumption to run against Trump’s actual post-election job as president?

Of course those lying motherfuckers did and it's the Trump Justice Department.

The AG is 💯right! He’s following the law. You liberal hacks are useless

Yeah well they’re a bunch of lying jerks and you’re helping protect them. Don’t think that the writers of articles that obstruct justice cannot also be put on trial for criminal obstruction of justice. You’re not allowed to publish lies assholes🖕

100 million foreigners will be in America within the next 5 years. America will be a giant cartel territory.

Now the Justice Department is acting like just another shitty arm the corrupt Trump Mafia.

“And by Justice Department we mean Trumps hired goons”

No, they are lying about it.

Can we learn the names of the people that defend it? Barr Barr 1 Bart 2 Trump nominees and supporters. ...

There is no Justice Department. Its a Cashier's Cage. They follow Trump's instructions. Its like writing a Petty Cash Receipts for Petty Cash Disbursements.

Don’t mess with Barr ! Finally someone calling out the fake media and their invisible sources.

The Justice Department is no longer an independent entity, sadly. Barr takes his cues from Trump, just like Barr's Unsolicited letter he wrote well before he became Trump's AG, implied that he would.

The special counsel wrote report summaries and Barr completely ignored them and wrote that puff piece. WSJ working overtime to help GOP obstruct

Shouldn’t this read “Barr defends Barr”?

They should release it to Congress. Anything less is reason to expect a cover up. The precedent was set by Ken Starr and it is a fair precedent.

Nadler knows DEMS demands are AGAINST THE LAW. Nadler said so in 1997.

Anyone else notice the resemblance?

If you go in with a bias, expect to be called on it.

there is no defense

Porous defence.
