Barr 'made an active choice to torch his integrity and public credibility,' Susan Hennessey wrote.

After special counsel Robert Mueller’s letter to William Barr complaining about his summary of the Russia investigation was revealed on Tuesday, top legal scholars — including a longtime Harvard law professor — condemned the Attorney General for allegedly misrepresenting the special counsel’s findings, with some calling on him to resign or be impeached.

Harvard Law professor Laurence Tribe, a constitutional legal expert who has taught at the leading academic institution for almost half a century, condemned Barr for misleading public opinion in a statement posted to Twitter, and called for the attorney general to be impeached for his actions. “Mueller says AG Barr misrepresented the ‘context, nature & substance’ of his probe. What else is there? Barr is a total disgrace and a phony,” Tribe wrote. “He must now testify under Rep.

Of course. Because what Barr did is indefensible—from his summary “nonsummary” to his absurd conclusion of the obstruction investigation. https://t.co/vUcJ2f43pv“This looks just completely terrible for Barr, who effectively lied to the public and to Congress. In a normal administration we'd be talking about whether the AG would be forced to step down. In this one, who knows?,” CNN legal analyst Susan Hennessey, who was formerly an IC attorney, wrote.

It was apparent to anyone who read the Mueller report that Attorney General Barr's spin on it was misleading and inaccurate. Apparently Special Counsel Mueller had the same reaction. https://t.co/Y9V8c3fu8EConservative commentator Jennifer Rubin, a former lawyer, tweeted: “Barr should step down. His credibility is nil and DOJ is diminished and under a cloud so long as he stays.”

The senate knew what he was when they appointed him.

Follow her down to a bridge by the fountain Where rocking horse people eat marshmallow pies. Everyone smiles as you drift past the flowers That grow so incredibly high....but no collusion

“Top lawyers” = Liberal Dem Lawyers w TDS

Wasn't ewarren Elizabeth Warren a Harvard professor when she claimed she was Native American?

Wasn't AlanDersh Alan Dershowitz a Harvard professor too when he claimed OJ was innocent?

Let's hope our elected officials DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS B.S.!!

Both need to be gone case in point

You guys have brain damage. He did exactly what Muller asked him to. If you have a problem with the investigation, maybe you should be pushing for Muller to take that stand instead.

Democrats blast Attorney General William Barr, calling him Trump’s ‘paid federal public defender’In scheduled back-to-back congressional hearings this week, Democrats will have their first chance to grill Barr since he stood at the Justice Department podium and repeatedly declared that Mueller had found no “collusion” between Trump and Russia. 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. Barr and Rosenstein lost all credibility after putting that 4 page memo out. Many people say...Barr is reviewing the GOP handbook 'How To Lie To Congress For Dummies' before showing up.
