Democratic Senators called on the DOJ’s inspector general to investigate William Barr’s handling of the Mueller report

In addition to criticizing Barr's summary, the Senators blasted the attorney general for demonstrating a “lack of impartiality” in his press conference April 18, when the Mueller report went public.

Democrats in their letter ask the two offices to review Barr’s decision not to recuse himself from overseeing the Mueller investigation, in light of a 19-page memo he wrote last year, prior to becoming attorney general, that described Mueller’s investigation into possible obstruction of justice by President Donald Trump as “fatally misconceived.”

blackrepublican Harassment, Harassment, Harrassment......,

Bravo 👏 I honestly didn’t see this one coming. I thought their only options would be to hold Barr in criminal contempt, civil contempt &/or to cut DOJ’s budget...none of which was guaranteed to yield their desired results. Dems are getting creative. RuleofLaw Obstruction

These people have so much else they should be doing. Utter madness.

Hopefully Barr will support cleaning the swamp. Starting with our justice dept. and FBI!

Now we are talking! Barr needs to pay the price for his obstruction of justice! Get to work Dems!

IMPEACH WILLIAM BARR INVESTIGATE ROSENSTEIN

STOP THIS BS NOW!

Could that frown be any more Upside down 😂😂😂

Yep. Now we are talking.

Is it now a crime to disagree with the Democratic Party?

this group is awful - you lost the election get over it already.

Yes we need more investigations, Democrats are pathetic.

keep digging that hole.........jeepers.....how much do they pay these retards to make things worse!

LOL

😂 LMAO

How about Muellers handling of the Mueller report? 🙄 So transparent.

I can save them the trouble: He handled it like a true sycophant and lackey of Spanky's would.

Let those able body investigate unless president move around & remove them as he has done before. Obstructionist.

Impeach the SOB!

Asinine.

Are progressives not the enemy of the people? Are they not predisposed to marginalize themselves?🤔

Crooked William. Lock him up. Send him to the chair!

SenSchumer knock off the politics and get on with the important business of advancing meaningful legislation

They should have called for investigation of Joe 'Uncle Creepy' Biden's handling of little girls.

Barr literally did every step by the book and these pandering radical liberals continue to embarrass and disgrace themselves at every turn Trump 2020 landslide 🇺🇸

The Dems will get their chance to question him on Wed. right He will show up for GOP hearing. I think they are investigating enough atm. It's not getting them very far, so why bog it down with even more

I think we need a special investigator to find out how all these 'civil servents' in congress became millionaires.

Barr will not lose sleep over the continued witch hunt he's too smart for all of them.
