Attorney General William Barr recalled being"surprised" that special counsel Robert Mueller would not be making a decision on whether President Trump obstructed justice.

Officials still believe the most damaging part of Mueller's report for Trump was its broad depiction of the President as unethical and dishonest — and not any specific allegation that he worked to short-circuit the Mueller probe.Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham, chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee, said he's read most of special counsel Robert Mueller's nearly 400-page report on Russian interference in the 2016 US election.
Minutes before this hearing, Mueller's letter to Barr was made public. In that letter, Mueller said Barr's summary of his report did not"fully capture the context, nature and substance of the investigation," spurring"public confusion."Mueller to Barr: "There is now public confusion about critical aspects of the results of our investigation"
He did make a decision. No obstruction!
Anyone who still claims Robert Mueller is a Patriot is brain dead!
Democrats today at the Barr hearing.
Mueller punted to keep this witchhunt alive -we all know this -we all know Hillary/Obama had a failed coup! maziehirono SenFeinstein u 2 should resign we all see u are part of failed coup -thank God realDonaldTrump won!!! Loving this booming economy more jobs donlemon
Hypocrite 😡
Congress needs to make the decision.
Not true
Someone better sober up Hillary ....
No crime no obstruction. Give it up. Start investigating Killary and her criminal acts
🤔 FakeDossier turns into illegal FisaWarrants by DeepState to spy on a political candidate/victim then candidate wins, cover up/ frame job begins w/ RussianHoax CollusionDelusion, investigated by 12 Dems-no collusion BUT now debating obstruction to crime that never occurred
Cuz theres nothing there.. IDIOTS
Barr was surprised no way he directed the whole thing
Down another 26% in the ratings . You have less than 1 million viewers watching your fake news nightly. Gotta be proud.
This lying Trump lackey has no place anywhere in the DOJ, much less as head of the department. He must be removed and held accountable for his complicity with the most corrupt president ever!
No surprise Barr. Stop spinning for the president. Mueller could not indict a sitting president. He has left it for Congress. Hopefully Barr will not interfere.
MSM: “...So you’re saying there’s a chance”
I watched cnn for a bit I can not stop lol at these idiots sorry but that’s how I look at them as totally idiots No wonder CNN ratings are so low glad people have turned off CNN aka FAKE NEWS
Jaw drop.
Cnn no surprised here cnn is a propaganda machine. Race, color religion, sex... All cnn news
You dumb F he doing it now with the court ordered documents he fights so hard from coming out. But they know what he doing and they know if it was a Dem President doing this GOP would be jumping all on it.
Is Barr saying Mueller should have violated OLC policy about not indicting a sitting President?
No shit. He left it open so Democrats can scream that there was bias... Which there clearly is not
He said that all Hillarys cases are reopened and she will be investigated... That means she will go to jail... CNN is FAKE news
And so he felt free to just make up shit.
Cnn attempts to stop what coming .. Failed Again ..!
Why are the taxpayers paying this guy? He does not work for us. Send the bill to Trump...his real beneficiary!
Is this hearing about Obama and Hillary ,,or about TRUMPS COLUSION WITH THE RUSSIAN? Wtf,,
Barr is a clown and an idiot. I am surprised many people have not reached that conclusion yet.
AG Barr is lying. He knows full well that it's.DOJ policy that a sitting president can't be indicted, per the Office of Legal Counsel.
What did Cornyn just thank Barr for doing? Did he say restoring something good to the DOJ? I Believe the Barr is very low. It is clear that the DOJ has been captured by the MAGA president.
Libbies give it up
You guys are still surprised by William Barr's spin of the Muller reportBarr is a puppy of Trump !!He got his tail wagging and his tongue hanging out from his mouth whenever he hears the word Trump and he is drooling too.Who know maybe he is humping Trump's legs !!!
Regardless of what is said, the CNN lies & spin will be the same: Headline: 'Trump cures cancer' CNN response: Trump is racist against cancer. The comedy hour never ends.
Because that's up to a judge and he needs to actually be charged with something! This isn't like with Hillary Clinton where she actually did the crime with enough to back it up and Comey 'exonerated' her by chalking up her acts of crime as 'ignorance.'
Well, WilliamBarr, here's a novel idea. As long as he is still a DOJ employee, why don't you order him to make that that decision.
Only person whom agrees with Barr's report which everyone knows is crap except Trump we all know he is a liar like Barr.
Seems like Barr’s surprise is what most people would call a SPIN so America will be missing the big picture.
WHICH IS BULLSH 💩. 😡
Sometimes if you CALL someone up and TALK to them you don't get 'surprised'. But then you lose what Barr is using today... PLAUSIBLE DENIABILITY!denying
BRING MUELLER IN TO TESTIFY PUBLICLY!!!!! Enough with the lies from realDonaldTrump + LindseyGrahamSC + that whole damn WH!! After this Presidency they need to build a new home from ground up! TOO MANY LIES!!!
If there was evidence of obstruction you better believe that would've been in the report. All of this is to keep you people outraged. Stop chasing ghosts and open your eyes.
👀 security guard off muller falling asleep 😴 lol
AG Barr Made the Wrong Decision on Trumps Obstructing Justice....Trump does it Daily!!
Are lawyers schooled to lie, or is it pre-requisite before school like Trump
That's because Mueller passed the buck. Coward!
Believe you me, if Mueller found a crime, he would be dancing all over to the press.
Can somebody explain to CNN how this works. They are terrible glad they are not a news network
Barr is killing alot of dreams and hopes today. Sorry Libs!
Hes not as good at lieing as he thinks he is .
No he's not surprised. I expect the Mueller team summaries explained it's up to Congress to make the call. But Barr refused to release the Mueller team summaries and conclusions
Wasn't that part of Muellers job? So if he didn't charge, there must have been NO CRIME. 💥💥💥💥
