Opinion: Kamala Harris zeroes in on the big problem with William Barr

Kamala D. Harris presses William P. Barr. By Greg Sargent Greg Sargent Opinion writer covering national politics Email Bio Follow Opinion writer May 1 at 4:50 PM Sen. Kamala D. Harris is already getting a lot of plaudits for roasting Attorney General William P. Barr at the Judiciary Committee hearing. Under questioning from Harris, Barr pulled a big homina homina homina when asked whether the White House had ever asked or suggested that he open an investigation into anyone.

— Justin Gomez May 1, 2019 “This attorney general lacks all credibility and has, I think, compromised the American public’s ability to believe that he is a purveyor of justice," Harris said. To take just a few examples, at one point Barr was pressed on the fact that he previously told Congress he didn’t have any idea what was behind the Mueller team’s leaks of frustration over Barr’s summary — even though we now know that special counsel Robert S. Mueller III explicitly laid out his concerns in a letter well in advance of that.

Worse, Barr then proceeded to give a news conference at which he continued misleading the public about Mueller’s findings. Among many other things, Barr robotically repeated the phrase “no collusion” as if he were reading off of White House talking points. There were many other moments like this. At one point, for instance, Barr flatly declared that Trump would be on solid ground in preventing former White House counsel Donald McGahn from testifying to Congress, essentially functioning unapologetically as Trump’s personal lawyer.

Haha 😂 yes zeros in how much bull are you printing

That he is effective?

Yeah, that he didn't do what they hoped for and get rid of Trump

Easy to zero in when you have no thoughts and an empty head

Correct Opinion: Kamala Harris cries for demented criminals in prison to get to vote.

Democrats are awful

Wait, so Barr was supposed to not trust Mueller and instead re-investigate everything ? Is this for real?

Yea he’s upholding the laws. Not like Dem or past administration.

HATS OFF TO Ms. HARRIS.

ha ha ha what a tool! WINNING MAGA

She couldn't coordinate a bowel movement without help

JJohnsonLaw “His casual disdain and contempt not just for the congressional proceedings but also for the very notion that any of his conduct thus far raises any legitimate concerns — let alone that he should have to waste his time addressing them — that was deeply disconcerting.”-WPo

The problem is with the 2020 candidates and the media! Arrests will be coming soon 🍿 .

Fake news is having trouble with its Party's irrelevance and impotence.

Media outlets & journalists like you are the problem. Everyone complaining about Barr and accusing him of protecting Trump were the same ones who LOVED Obama even though EricHolder literally called himself his “wing man”. The bias is real. LiberalismIsAMentalDisorder

Actually when a Democrat is in the Oval Office, and in control of the Senate, all of this historical evidence will see the light of day...votebluein2020

Harlot’s need not apply.

Her biggest problem is the same as the rest. He's not corrupt like them, and he ain't going to take their whining!

That he is telling the truth? Yep big problem for democrats who want to play politics

She was shown that shes a big zero!

A tually she exposed herself for the fools she is and lost my respect forever. She should go back to felatio with Willie Brown.

A crowd of lies is leading the USA. When will people wake up and face the truth

We do NOT care what this nasty ho zeros in on. Shes probably trying to find, who to sleep with, to become president. Tell her, she has to sleep with Trump, to win. Then watch her explode.

Kamala Harris, looking for a Spartacus moment, down in the polls against the other Democrats, grasping for relevance. She didn't find it today.Barr did great. He doesn't roll over for the Democrats.He knows the law and knows his job! Democrats trying to discredit..investigations!

Yea, the problem is unlike her and her Dem colleagues he’s incorruptible!!! LOL

She is a superb prosecutor

There is no problem with Barr. The problem is with you and the Democrats lying to Americans for over 2 years about russian collusion. No surprise u are both trying to cover your own asses. Also trying to make Barr look bad for when he takes you all down. enemyofthepeople

Kamala go back with Willie will you!!

'We haven't waived executive privilege,' Barr says. 'WE' - how is this not a clear admission as to who his client is? It's NOT the USA, it's TRUMP. Now that his OrangeLips are out in the open, LowBarr is ashamed to appear in the House. Sad. BarrMustResign BarrHearing

I'm sure the American People r getting sick of the Trumps Era, i can't see the Thing winning in 2020, f m d criminals rule the house...

I so want to see Kamala debate trump - and see trump melt into the floor as she just smokes him

Im takin a slightly different tack...The value of whatever Trumpski is giving him in exchange for this odious behavior exceeds any downside that could be from the behavior.He'll get pardoned for any criminal charges,or there already is a huge sum of $$$ off shore waiting for him.

Harris' and Democrats real problem is they can't accept the finding by Mueller of no Russia collusion. Barr has done everything properly and is just their whipping boy. Trump was telling her the truth for the last 2 yrs and she needs to deal with that and move on.

All he did was reassure us that he believed he was there to protect Donald Trump rather than the American people. Traitor.

She is getting under Trumps skin. He called her “nasty” again.

There is only fabricated problems with Barr.

OPINION: Thank God we dodged this corrupt bullet in the White House!

I was surprised she didn’t break into her hysterical laughter. She is such a phony opportunist.. why doesn’t she allow anyone answer? She must like her own voice too much.

rulajebreal consider all the things you don't cover because of this

She did well

Spoilers: he's not willing to sleep with her.

The Bezos Post

'Everyone acts according to self-interest.' - Gracian

What is clear is that if the other Dem senators had ceded their time to Harris, Barr would have just been a puddle of sweat and exposed lies staining a chair at the end of the day. Feinstein and Leahy were particularly useless and they were the first up. SenateDems

it depends on what suggests mean

They wanted 19 pages TODAY, and they are angry because they got 450 pages a week later. OUTRAGEOUS!

This one with Barr she lost.... She and the Democrats got nothin.

Kamala Harris zeroed in on nuthin! Why does she act like Colombo?

He's a weasel.

Yeah. He disagrees with her & other Democratic wingnuts.. Harris recently promoted the use of weed in a pandering interview, but neglected to mention all the physical & mental health issues with weed use...Barr is not the problem these Left purveyors of falsehoods are the threat

. AG Barr is supposed to review millions of pages of documents rather than rely on the expertise of his prosecutors....including Mueller? Sure. Hey Horizontal Harris....how much evidence did you personally review on the countless innocents you sent to prison? Hypocrite

Actually Harris made Trump’s case. Her accusation that Rosenstein is a “witness” and has conflict of interest and can’t be trusted to oversee Mueller’s investigation is exactly Trump’s point of wanting him fired. The same point media & Dems accused him of “Obstruction”.

I don’t think anyone listens to Kamala Harris. Uninteresting, dumb. Please let her win the primary and get destroyed by Trump.

Still producing shit journalism I see 🧐

Non story. Barr admits there have been discussions about various individuals in the Obama administration that may be the subject of DOJ investigations. The names are known to all. He only questioned Harris' use of the word 'suggest'. That's it. Nothing there. Pathetic.

Harris loves to grand stand for political gratification. Before you vote for Harris look at her record. It speaks for itself.

😂

Which big problem? There are so many...

He hurt democrats feelings! How could he misrepresent something that was released for the world to read? There’s a lot of ignorance showing on the (D) side

We zeroed in on Kamala Harris's big problem

Nice work Senator Kamala Harris! You were spot on!

Media was BIG PROBLEM...it's already been stated, but you already know that....

What mor political hack?

Harris dog walk Barr without a leash ! ImpeachBarr lying coward

She really does have a big 👄.

Sjes a nit wit!

'We haven't waived executive privilege,' Barr says. 'WE' - how is this not a clear admission as to who his client is? It's NOT the USA, it's TRUMP. Now that his OrangeLips are out in the open, LowBarr is ashamed to appear in the House. Sad. BarrMustResign BarrHearing

Now if she can only get him between the sheets....

this lady is a corrupt fool

He's a weasel.

What's your point?

NEW VIDEO INVESTIGATION: Trump's famous red hats are NOT made in America. We just revealed their (Communist) country of origin.

Barr must be impeached.

There is NO Problem. The BOSS owned them all today.
