Democrats blast Attorney General William Barr, calling him Trump’s ‘paid federal public defender’

“It permanently tarnishes his reputation,” said Rep. Gerald E. Connolly , a member of the House Oversight Committee. “I'm not sure why somebody wants to do this after a long career.”

Barr has not withdrawn, but aides said he might not attend because the panel’s leadership wants to allow committee lawyers to do some of the questioning, rather than just lawmakers. Republicans have praised Barr’s handling of the special counsel investigation and defended his summary of Mueller’s report as fair.

The 22-month investigation “did not establish that members of the Trump Campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference activities,” Mueller wrote, though he noted those campaign officials expected to benefit from Moscow’s assistance. In his news conference before releasing the report, Barr said Trump’s actions should be viewed in “context.”

Barr also appeared to mischaracterize Mueller’s rationale for not reaching a determination on whether Trump had obstructed justice, a crime.

Why bother..just another chance to lie. Barr lies for Trump.

Can the Barr be set any lower?

Who is not their own worst enemy? Baboons take exceptions, congressionaly speaking.

Socialists' delusional investigative binge is strengthening 45s reelection. We the people want real national issues dealt with beginning with securing the border. Can't wait for Socialists' debates aka circular firing squad.

Many people say...Barr is reviewing the GOP handbook 'How To Lie To Congress For Dummies' before showing up.

Barr and Rosenstein lost all credibility after putting that 4 page memo out.
