But Barr acknowledged at a news conference prior to the public release of special counsel Robert Mueller's report that he disagreed with Mueller's legal theories on whether those episodes amounted to obstruction"as a matter of law." Barr also said Trump did not assert executive privilege over the redacted report. He said"most" of the redactions were needed"to prevent harm to ongoing matters and to comply with court orders prohibiting the public disclosure of information bearing upon ongoing investigations and criminal cases." Department of Justice attorneys worked with Mueller's office on the redaction process, Barr said.
Barr is going to drain the swamp! This includes your lord and master Obama. Going to get interesting!
Who cares what you think Trump puppet.
We are not surprised that a guy hand picked by the Czar in the White House would try to spin Mueller's findings.
the headline should be BARR LIED ABOUT THE MUELLER REPORT
Morning_Joe
Morning_Joe Disbar BARR
He's a damn puppet. Of course, he disagrees. He's proven he is loyal to Trump and not our country. He's already lied to appease his daddy.
FAKE NEWS
Fake news
I watched his show. I also watched Rod Rosenstein. His stance was wooden, his stare indicated to me that he didn't feel comfortable - didn't want to be there! I wonder what has been taken place behind the scenes. It didn't look good! Bad image!
What do you expect from a trump troll.
Morning_Joe If Mueller had a case for obstruction he would have brought it. He didnt.
10 'episodes' = 10 no obstruction.
More fake news lies!
So there are now 10 potential obstruction related 'episodes' that Congress now have the opportunity to investigate as being actually being Obstruction.
Msm give it up already
Swearing follows - you've been warned) Fuck Barr. He lied to Congress and deserves the same fate as John Mitchell (Nixon's AG), 19 months in jail (or more - 24 months, anyone?)
A pound of feathers is the same as a pound of Bull a pound is a pound.
Tried to obstruct, but subordinates refused. NOT EXONERATED!
Morning_Joe AG bought and paid for ...
How’s the Kleenex supply
Hey Barr I hope you can live with your self and face your family. You have Disgraced yourself and your family and the nation I don’t know why you would do such a thing but you are done goodbye justsayin
Morning_Joe 🤮 same old crap he tried in 1989 regarding Panama cover up.
People with sane open minds already knew trump was guilty! His words say it all! The firing of his staffers, everything involving his lawyers trying to protect him from testifying.
Morning_Joe POOR JEREY AND SHIFTY SCHIFF BOO HOO HOO!
Thankfully people do not have to think critically. NBC will tell them what to think.
No corrupt intent.
Liberals.....are babies raising babies
Why is it people w the last name Barr seem to be crazy ?
Of course he disagreed. He is Trump’s lackey.
He is clearly Trump’s loyal pawn
news5wcyb Sad that SenateDems HouseDemocrats aren’t HAPPY w America and HOW WELL it’s doing !!! Sad they are so BITTER RESENTFUL,GOD clearly says to LOVE ALL, the end is near FOR SURE !!!
Barr is only the second USAG whose objectivity I question. First one was jeffsessions
Yup. I'm sure that's what Trump's personnal lawyer would say.
Keep trying nobody believes you!
Unless there is clear irrefutable evidence then you can’t charge Trump. That’s insane.
10 episodes. That’s a full season on American Experience.
Wow! This guy Barr is DIRTY!! I saw VICE. He must have got right in. ImpeachTrumpNow
Thank you, Mr. Barr, for your spurious opinion. Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.
No answers just talk talk it’s over Muller is going home
Why am I not surprised Barr has proven he is a Trump yes-man GOP political hack that has gone on record he thinks the president can do no wrong! Trump finally got the DOJ personal attorney he always wanted disgusting want to be dictator getting closer!
Hope got his money up front. Trump doesn’t pay for services
Trump’s Treason
AG Barr has sold his soul to tRump, the GOP, and wealthy donors to turn the Attorney General’s office into a mockery. Perhaps an investigation into off shore accounts might be in order for a formerly respected attorney to act like this. BarrCoverUp
SORRY ASS DEMOCRATS WANT TO BRING UP OBSTRUCTION. THAT'S WHAT HILLARY DID TO HARD DRIVES AND ANYTHING ELSE THAT COULD INCRIMINATE HER. 1 OF THE MANY REASONS COMEY WAS FIRED.
Did you expect a hand picked Trump supporter to lie against him?
He’s a nutsack.
Who cares if this henchman disagrees, that’s congress’s job MissionExhonerated
Morning_Joe Sooo, it takes more than 10 to be more than coincidence? Is that a special order item or something. Like something not on the main menu...got it.
If there's a case for obstruction Muller would've made it! Potential's someone selling an active imagination as fact but is not fact! Do we arrest people for the potential to commit crimes in our Country? If that's the case we are no longer a Country of laws, we're Orwellian.
Of course he does he was picked for that reason...
No body cares if Barr who isn't our AG but rather trumps personal attorney disagrees. That wasn't his jib. Impeach him now! He's failed America. Send Barr, trumps clown, off to a Fox news job
So we define obstruction based on theory? Sounds like spin to me
not for him to say. IMPEACHTHEBASTARD
Barr lost his credibility and soul
11thHour Why have Jay Sekulow on the show? He is protecting the criminal---I am sick of listening to this spin
Morning_Joe He implied as much prior to becoming Trumps AG, so no surprise here.
It's his buddy,what do you expect him to say?smh,lol.Don't be naive please!
Robert Muller was denied the opportunity to peel the orange in a personal interview. Maybe that unfinished business can be re-started after 23rd of May. MullerReport 2.0 Apr 18, 2019 · Twitter for Android
We already know from Barr's job application that he holds to the theory that a President cannot be guilty of obstruction of justice. His is a minority view and obviously was not supported by those prepared to impeach Nixon for obstruction of justice.

This AG Barr is a fraudulent dude.
Morning_Joe Gotta love this dude. But hate to be one of his ex wifes or intern,
Boy, can't wait to see what cycle the LEFT & the LEFTIST Media will use now........ I'm sure it will be on the HIGH SPIN CYCLE!!
“Episodes”? 😳
LOL. Of course. That is why Trump sycophant Barr was hired.
Let the Congress debate the legal theory, especially with access to redacted parts.
You guys as a 'news organization' are ridiculous these days. Huntley and Brinkley would be ashamed.
Sorry but that is NOT what he said. More irresponsible FAKE news reporting.
Game set match and DEMS now screaming because the law is not on their side. It’ll never end until there is civil war.
Men is twisters of truth...was he to disagree with the report or do what the report recommended
This is an ambiguous statement incomplete swinging the meanings wildly in a grotesquely perverted direction toward the anti-American socialist communist Democrats
Lock Him Up! Lock Him Up! Lock Him Up!
Morning_Joe Did Trump hand pick Rosenstein? They hate each other...Trump should have fired Rosenstein but that was part of his whole ‘not obstructing’ policy
HRC used a private server for 'Classified Gov't Emails'. After the accusation was made, she deleted 30,000 emails and scrubbed her computer. Pres. Clinton meets with AG on a tarmac & Comey states her crimes but gives her a pass bcuz he said she didn't mean it. That's obstruction.
MeetThePress Let’s impeach realDonaldTrump NOW!
Everyone commenting would have 10 episodes also if you did nothing wrong. Demonratslie
We don’t care about his opinion, tyvm.
Only 10 'episodes?' That's the same number as an entire season of BetterCallSaul
I told you America not to be encouraged that William Barr was going to bring you any truth......Disgraceful..........America is in search for the Truth.......Morally bankrupt America thru the Trump Administration....Contemptible performance by Barr....
Of course Barr would he’s only the AG to run interference for Trump. The ppp should be outraged Congress should take action.
Barr whored for Trump! Never spoke to Mueller? Seriously? Barr excuses Trump’s attacks on the rule of law because he was “frustrated”? Seriously? Barr is a corrupt JABBA THE HUT!
Morning_Joe OMG!!! Morning Joe is beyond stupid. There is NO COLLUSION, There is NO COLLUSION There is NO COLLUSION There is NO COLLUSION There is NO COLLISION. Pull up your pants and admit you mad an A_ _ out of yourself.
MeetThePress The Barr/Rosenstein presser was a disgrace!
The handpicked Special Investigator (Mueller) took 2yrs and millions of $,'s and tried like hell to tie Trump to the the false narrative that HRC and DNC paid for. The best he could do was '10 episodes of POTENTIAL OBSTRUCTION' Cant have it both ways...he obviously did not!
Y’all are going to cry forever!
Morning_Joe Correction: 10 episodes of obstruction of justice that Congress can decide rises to the level of impeachment and then a Senate trial.
Trylynne Indicating a sitting POTUS wasn’t going to happen. This is why impeachment exists. Let the house decide whose “Legal Theory” stands up.
Morning_Joe This man is a 🤡. He looks eerily like Groucho Marks. Even if I didn’t spell the name right, you know who I’m talking about. He was a Jew. Mr. Barr is what I would call a YES MAN. That’s someone who agrees w the man in power, RIGHT OR WRONG. THE PRESIDENT IS A LIAR!!! So is BARR!
MeetThePress That's not what Barr said. FakeNews
How do you obstruct justice without a crime?
Morning_Joe “I did not come to the legal conclusion as mueller” Barr... what legal collusion did mueller come to? ImpeachTrumpNow
MeetThePress Of course he disagrees! He took an oath of loyalty to the Czar realDonaldTrump !
Morning_Joe Well there was one more act of obstruction displayed on national television today and that was the Barr’s press conference! This was a directed and produced clown show by Trump and his cohorts! impeachTraitorTrump arrest44 ImpeachBarr
Liberals Lose Again!
It is very likely that Trump obstructed justice and Barr is trying to protect him.
Time to face the music NBC! We voted & put into office the greatest President ever! All your bias efforts to take him down have failed! Get over it and just maybe it's time to once again become an actual 'news' channel! Not an outlet for Democrats!
Lying already NBC.
We all know that AG Barr was hired because the White House could deduce that this would be his legal opinion on the matter. Why bother being shocked when people behave exactly as expected 🤷🏻♀️
MeetThePress Oh please!!! Exonerated!!’ Get over it!! Mueller doesn’t make the call it’s not his job. Barr and Rosenstien made the call on obstruction because not enough there. You people are ridiculous
I hope Netflix acquire the right to stream these 10 episodes.
Morning_Joe But wouldn’t say or answer as to which legal theories or why
This person must himself charged for obstructing justice. He's covering for his Boss
Loser!!
He disagreed with Mueller after one day with the report. That is why he released the nonsummary summary that didn’t include the legal theory of obstruction.
Legal theory AKA The Truth. LegalEagleDJ
BOOM!
Glad to see all those originalists who appeared when Obama was the president are demanding that Congress begin its investigation of Trump as plainly stated in the Constitution. Oh wait? They were just full of shit and advancing their opinions as the Founders? NO WAY!🙄
AG Barr is Trump’s consigliere
there you go NBC just keeping up your resistance. This country has been torn apart. It is time to stop this
Now lets get to the real Russian Conspiracy. The Obama administration and our Intel agencies trying coup a duly elected President. I am sure NBC will be right on this.
Evidently Trump obstructed justice and the DOJ has made the greatest cover up ever.
NBC caught colluding with the democrat party.
Who cares if he disagreed with Mueller. It’s Mueller the report not his.
BarrCoverUp ImpeachTheMF
Seething anger. That feeling you get when you know you're being f-cked over.
“Agree or disagree” 😝🤪😳🤯 wth is Barr talking about ..... THAT👏🏼 IS 👏🏼NOT 👏🏼HIS 👏🏼JOB👏🏼
Eventually Barr will be in Cohen’s shoes! POTUS Trump2020Prison
I still want to know if there were 10 episodes of 'potential' obstruction, what was POTUS trying to obstruct if not collusion?🤔 Without a single bomb ever dropped in the US, the country has never been in more danger.
It's called covering your ducks. I learned that phrase way back from my first flight commander.
Morning_Joe FN fools
Morning_Joe Barr has a credibility issue. No one cares what this crime boss lawyer says or thinks.
Can't wait till this happens to Barr.......AG John Mitchell was found guilty of conspiracy, obstruction of justice, and perjury!!!
Silver lining is Barr will be fired with Trump 2020.
Morning_Joe TRUMP2020 deal with it .. 2 more years of harassment by media
The 2 year investigation did not exonerate Trump on Obstruction, Barr who was handpicked by Trump did. They disagreed with the obstruction but agreed with the collusion. The report said crimes were committed.
Morning_Joe Anyone think Mueller and his team of Democrat prosecutors wouldn’t have found obstruction if he could have under the law? He took down Flynn on merely a lie.
Morning_Joe No mention of the six people indicted from his cabinet “what a bunch of BS”
Morning_Joe 10! Lol...this shit is ridiculous.
Barr’s weakest argument to discard obstruction: because there is no criminal 100% proof for collusion, all the attempts to obstruct from Trump’s end are ‘no obstruction’. It doesn’t make sense.
Morning_Joe
holy shit this is so sickening; WHITE COLLAR CRIME & CORPOCRACY FUCKED AND THIS IS WHAT THEY DELIVERED, 9 MONTHS LATER!!!!
Of course He is Trumps Attorney when he is constitutionally required to be the Attorney of the United States
Snowflakes
Morning_Joe Only 10 Billy Barstool? Don’t you watch TV like we do TrumpColluded BarrCoverUpNo2
Liberal, Dem-supporting media clings to one innocuous snippet to continue their anti-POTUS rhetoric. No collusion End of story. The end. I would say we live happily ever after, but the Dems and their supportive media won't allow it.
Well we all know now that Bill Barr turns out to be Trumps dirty cop.
This is all a bunch of BS from Barr! So much corruption literally out in the open and the American people are suppose to be idiots! WHCorruption BarrCoverUp POTUS
Haha you are a loooooooser NBC 😂
The facts seem to be in dispute, So a press conference seemed a good route. But Mueller's not there, So a finding is fair, That he's either kidnapped or mute.
Trump's handpicked AG disagrees with Mueller findings shock - film at 11.
That's was fixers do. Ask Michael Cohen. Trump has got to be the 'Keeper of Secrets' to be brought out at specific times to control very powerful people. After all, this is all he is capable of doing. There is no intellectual capacity behind those eyes.
You can still smell the Sharpies used in redacting this report. It's moving toward the rest of the country.
Where are the patriots? (and I am not talking about the football team)
The results of participation trophies! 🏆MuellerReport BarrCoverUp🏆
Now we know that the Russians interfered in the elections. But when POTUS was asked about it in Helsinki he said PUTIN said he didn't do it and he Trump believed him. Now Trump said he did not believe his intelligence team, will he now believe the AG now that he is exonerated?
And it begins
Barr did nothing but suck up to Trump
No that’s not what he said!
He 'Disagreed' prior to gettin tha Job!!!!
Spin spin spin
Game over!
Here we go...Dummycrat opinions from Chuck Rosenberg spinning Barr’s news conference already. As for the word “sincere”, Barr said this was a word used in the report! Stop the deception, lies and spin doctoring! PatheticDemocrats Leftwinglunatics
GO AHEAD AND SPIN ...I EXPECT NOTHING LESS
He was hired to disagree with an legal theory treating Donald J Thug as an adult.
Only 10. 😂 😂 😂
Yakkity-yak...don't look back Let's see how stupid you still are...lol
The legal theory that Mueller couldn’t conclude obstruction? Just report facts please ... FakeNewsMedia
NNC is the worst quit spinning the narrative we are not stupid people we are on to you
He also said OUR government employees tried to unseat before even in office! Americans that care about our country & not Trump knew these facts 2 1/2 years! ALL AMERICANS SHOULD BE PISSED & fight to make sure it never happens to ANY FUTURE POTUS regardless of party! REAL FACTS
Nice job at downplaying it.
It might has well been Trump standing up there. How many times did Barr say “no collusion?” So obvious!!
Well of course you did. All Trump cronies think alike!
I don't care my wife left me
... And the 34 indictments?
So he disagreed? Instead of being America’s AG he’s the presidents.
lol, of course he disagreed
Eventually
Your fake news 🤮
The Big Cover Up Is Here ! Barr Is Spinning It Like Crazy ! Time To Impeach The Lying Criminal Of Donald J Trump ! 😁🍿👍 Tick Tock Tick Tock Tick Tock................
We don't need Barr's opinion. We need the full report.
Crooks do that
He said more than that but of course this is your headline
So, just because trump was pissed off about the investigations it’s OK to shout and scream and use his position to obstruct the investigations? This doesn’t make sense. It’s like using an anology of justifiable homicide? Not sure that logic would work in SCOTUS...
Poor Trumpy was frustrated, so okay to obstruct.
WOW!!! YOU PEOPLE ARE UNBELIEVABLE! Still with your FAKE NEWS BS!
JUST IN: House Judiciary Cmte. Chairman Nadler requests Special Counsel Mueller to testify 'no later than May 23.'
Isn't wonderful that President Trump FINALLY has a quality personal lawyer like Mr. Barr? It took a while but sometimes you have to keep shopping till you get what you want.
Only 10 episodes?
*America Prepares to Row Through the Redactions* MuellerReport
He was paid to disagree with them.
What kind of BS spin headline.
Save it for the judge, AG Barr. Testify before Congress alongside Robert Mueller, ASAP.
is lying by omission. FakeNews
Attorney General acting like the president's defense attorney. Shameless.
Barr did say that hacking and dissemination were two different things and unless someone was involved in the hack there was no crime. If Russia steals documents and I help them use that information in the best possible way towards their goal, how did I not commit a crime?
