Stupid argument. Was Rod not hired by Trump who then hired Mueller? Inspite of all the angry Demicrats Mueller brought in to nail Trump they couldn't still find anything . Instead of you guys to bury your heads in shame, you are still trying to make foolish arguments.

And justice was not served.shame on William Barr for party over country

Please stop lying to your viewers.

You don’t think ok so if you’re not 100% sure don’t make a news segment out of speculation.

Speculation is not worthy of a news segment. Just wait til he releases it and then you can talk about it. Until then all you’re doing is fueling conspiracy theories and using fear tactics. Of course Cohen is going to say this stuff they hate trump they look for anything

Shame on you both, disgrace reporting!

Here's an appalling notion to consider: William Barr, a man with less integrity than Jeff Sessions.

Ya...Think?

More useless news already known to be untrue. Here are news: strong jobs report, unemployment at a 50 yr low, stock market near record high, Boeing cuts prod of 737 Max, salmon fishing restricted in NW, CVS Expands Rx delivery. For Fake News watch CNN & Lemon.

Always a conspiracy

Oh you mean like BarackObama hired Comey and AGLynch to start the Fake Russian Hoax!

Wrong, he was nominated by President Trump, the Senate hired him.

You need probable cause to indict, beyond reasonable doubt to convict. They never even got to the first phase.

More crap from CNN!

These people have lost it!!TDS to the max!

Simply embarrassing.... 😂😂

This is still a thing?

Trump has hired MANY people who have NOT taken care of him. Lol.

Newsflash: every president picks their AG. Then they are confirmed by Senate. You all know that the report can not be released unredacted, so you now push the cover up narrative. Give it up and report some “real” news. Your ratings will thank you.

anyone but me find things said by Dummycrats just STUPID anymore? OF COURSE he did why would you hire someone from the other side? FUCKING DUMBASSES!

These CNN people are so dumb. Remember the team who investigated Trump were hired by the DEMS remember. Mueller was their hit man. He made the report to Barr. Regardless what he says about the report.. the report was still Muellers writings you dummies.

What? Barr “quoted” Mueller...

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

AG Barr is following the law that the Congress has made to redact any grand jury, personal information on innocent people and national security, plus other. As soon as the Report is sent to Congress, it will be LEAKED to the media. So redaction is important. HANNITY

Thế hả xem ra nói dối cũng thuê được

AG Barr is required by law to redact certain information from, the report before releasing it. As soon as he releases it to Congress, the media will have it. So for the protection of the grand jury and private citizens and security information it has to be redacted. Hanity

Congress approved the appointment! The idiots

You know that soon as the Report is released to Congress, it will be leaked to the media. So to release a report unredacted, not just the AG breaking the law, will put Grand jury info and private persons information will be public news. Not good.

The left is trying to set up a defense of the Muller report. They know that the Muller team, all anti-Trump Dems lawyers, could not find collusion. so now they are going to try some other way to keep this alive.

Blah blah blah...,

I don’t understand you American people,correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t the AG there to represent the american people?Not there to protect the president,your US politics rules are whacked trumpsucks

Conspiracy Now Network, Keep spinning the BS and be wrong once again!!

Over a 2 years investigation, Mueller, Rosenstein, didn’t conspirator nor work with Barr! Now, abiding by our Laws an working together to Release the Report 🇺🇸

Here is the other side of the story about Biden & Ms. Lopez, wanna be a politician! This picture was taken of them the same night as she claims what happened to her! She is behind him trying to pull her way into the selfie, with her hand on his shoulder. Did he complain? Hell no!

the 2 of you need a mental health facility.

CNN COLLUDED WITH DEMOCRATS

Cohen is nothing more than a white democrat who preys on a predominantly black city to convence them he is the master they should follow. If blacks want to know why they feel enslaved in modern day, look no further than Cohen and your democratic leaders who fool you daily.

Yeah!!! The Mueller Report may uh clear Trump, but, uh, let's keep talking about it. Psst, guys we've gotta go back to President Trump's mental health. We need another conspiracy theory stat.

Smell something Steve? 💩?

Steve Cohen is one of the dumbest politicians around. A gibberer of the highest order.

Did you know Joe Biden's son, Hunter was named a director to Ukraine's largest private gas producer following a visit to Ukraine by the Vice President Joe Biden later threatened to withhold 1 BILLION in US Aid to Ukraine if they didn't fire a prosecutor looking into his son

What AG has ever been picked by someone other than the president?

Here we go, more horse crap.

Of course they want it, it’s taxpayer funded opposition research.

Liars. The redactions are being done WITH ROBERT MUELLER III. You lie, make up stories and plain just bullshit a story up. FakeNewsCNN

What is our recourse? This has to stop.

WeThePeople, the non hollywood, uber wealthy or liberal elitist are sick of this witchhunt at all cost era. It's a turn off and has created WalkAwayFromDemocrats. Clueless politicians need to focus on the next election, which will probably be TRUMP2020

So wait the people ragging on WilliamBarr are the same people that said they would accept the RobertMuellerReport ?

Loretta Lynch was hired to take care of Hillary. and........

More CNN FAKE BS, The AG is following the LAW, the Dems are asking him to BREAK the Law

When is CNN going to report that Joe Biden committed rape in high school

Mueller was hired by the Democrat party.

Bar can only release what the law allows. Where is the evidence CNN has been peddling?

Right after one conspiracy theory was debunked, CNN is already pushing a new one.

Here ya go lemon

When turnips talk to each other. Brilliant!

The people will demand it, if they can get off their devices long enough to actually get out in the streets and protest!

kenkircher1 ReleaseTheFullMuellerReportNOW

I keep asking...why does he need taking care of or protected? From what?

He will only release what the law allows him to release. If he did more Lemon would be calling for him to be fired.

Do you have any idea how nonsensical and idiotic some of your guests sound?

😂🤣😂😂🤣😂 with that logic you can trust no AG nominated by any president. Ya’ll need to examine your thought process.

Americans aren’t watching you Anymore!!! Lemon your BS isn’t Selling... BAHAAHAA

One of the biggest tests of character is how a guy plays golf. Steve Cohen even touches on what a cheat Trump is at golf. Trump is so bad, he throws his partners golf ball in the sand trap before they reach the green.

William Barr’s four page summary of Mueller’s report is analogous to Fred Armisen judging a book by its cover on LateNightSeth

It's Mueller's report. The only time Mueller speaks up is when a lie is told, like Buzzfeed's garbage story. It's out of his hands now, but don't you think he would have made a statement if Barr was lying in his summary?🤔

Uh .... it’s the law.... can’t release Grand Jury testimony can’t release top secret testimony...

if its not released in full then you know trump is hiding something big

Losers of RegressiveLeft keep their frenzy going no matter how absurd are their never-ending claims. They know well the IQLevel of their most dedicated followers. Anything goes. The noise must be kept on!

This script was written long before the Mueller report was released because they knew there was nothing there.

Imagine knowing no one watches your network anymore and you still report fake news. How is this garbage still on in airports ?

Or maybe just get over it?

Why can’t you all just wait. Cnn you are amazing Stop the hate. Use some common sense. Wait a week or so. Smh

donlemon is nothing more than the liar peddling lies, lies, lies and more lies that puts on the TelePrompter that sits in front of him! Yep, 100%!

Beat that dead horse 😂😂 your audience needs hope, even knowing it's false hope

Democrats are more interested in seeing the tax returns of Trump, a billionaire who became a politician, than they are politicians who were broke entering office but somehow became multi-millionaires making $174,000 per year.

Hahaha, ridiculous. Trump hired a bunch of people that did him no favors. CNN continuing to push conspiracies. BTW. I'm only here to mock CNN. The fake news kings.

FAKE NEWS!!! Where’s the big news about Harry Reid today He lost his fake lawsuit! Glad jury saw through his fraud! He claimed injury caused him to retire “early”-after 3 decades as swamp Senator!!!

Whatever you stink!

This coming from the guy who ducked behind Maxine Waters on video the other day so the camera wouldn’t see him laughing at her trying to pronounce a word and butchering it!

Pssst, Clowns. Barr would not have contradicted the report knowing he was going to release. Mueller is helping Barr prepare the report for release. You’re literally setting yourselves up again.

Barr is working with Muller and Rosenstein on this report

This is a man of true Honor fighting against a corrupt GOP. America under seige

Do you think the Dems should keep pushing a conspiracy theory for two more years? Why shouldn’t cnn be taken off social media for their lies?

nooo shit

STEVEN COHEN, the 1st 3 words of your sentence is correct

Would Obama, Bush? Or how about Clinton? Exactly 👎 NOPE THANK YOU Captain Obvious

Right. And that's why Mueller himself is working with Barr on the redactions -- because Barr is protecting Trump. What idiots you are.

The American people are entitled to a summary! Congress entailed to a summary! Anything else is a gift from 'partisan' Barr! Don Lemon is a joke!

This is cnns attempt at a soft landing after promoting a bullshit Russia story’s to thier idiot fans for 2 years. I wonder if don lemon privately feels shame when considering that he’s just an mouthpiece for a billion dollar mega Corp

Fake news

Isn’t that what Obama did and Bush?

FakeNews 24/7.

It's called politics

Don lemonhead squeezing some more lemons tonight.

Key phrase....'a lot we want to see'....if it's there or not
