AG Barr Testifies Before Senate About Mueller Report There were fireworks in the U.S. Senate today and they were all aimed at one person who’s clearly not objective. Attorney General William Barr got LIT up today while testifying before the Senate Judiciary Committee on the Mueller report. As previously reported Special Counsel Robert Mueller released his report on the investigation into Russia’s interference in the 2016 election. In it, Mueller stopped short of saying Trump was cleared on obstruction charges. This came after Barr released that very short four-page summary of the report that clearly glossed over details and told the American people they should be “grateful” of what’s in the report. Mueller later sent Barr a letter complaining that the summary distorted the report’s “context, nature, and substance” and had caused “public confusion about critical aspects of the results” of the 22-month probe. Barr’s since complained that it was “snitty.” Read special counsel Robert Mueller's March 27 letter to Attorney General William Barr. https://t.co/skqhvRztPy pic.twitter.com/ccDINoprHB — ABC News (@ABC) May 1, 2019 Earlier today Barr defended his actions and responded to questions from lawmakers on how his office handled the release of the report. According to Barr, he did not exonerate Piss Poor POTUS and he’s not biased. Weird lie, but okay. “I did not exonerate” President Trump,” said the AG. “I said that we did not believe that there was sufficient evidence to establish an obstruction offense;” says Americans can decide for themselves. Following that both Sen. Kamala Harris and Sen. Cory Booker called on him to resign. Kamala first grilled Barr and accused him of being biased… “I think the American public has seen quite well that you are biased in this situation and you’ve not been objective and that would arguably be the conflict of interest,” said Harris. and Cory Booker followed by questioning his credibility. “We are going into an area where you seem to not even be willing to be in the least bit critical in your summarizations. I believe that calls in your credibility.” “I fear that you are adding normalcy to a point where we should be sounding alarms as opposed to saying there’s nothing to see here,” Booker said. Here is the complete exchange, via CSPAN, between Kamala Harris and Bill Barr — including the part where Barr couldn't say whether Trump or anyone in the White House has ever suggested that he open an investigation into anyone. It's worth a watch. pic.twitter.com/wJOdSFR7JR — Kyle Griffin (@kylegriffin1) May 1, 2019 Kamala later told reporters very plainly that it’s time for Barr’s time to be up noting that he “lacks all credibility and has, I think, compromised the American public’s ability to believe that he is a purveyor of justice.” After questioning William Barr @senkamalaharris : “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.” Q: “Should he resign?” Harris: “Yes.” pic.twitter.com/hh8rBVHBjj — CSPAN (@cspan) May 1, 2019 Cory B for sure agrees. Attorney General Barr answers to the American people—not to President Trump—and over the past 24 hours it’s become clear that he lied to us and mishandled the Mueller Report. He needs to step down. Add your name if you agree: https://t.co/x7KkyROdi5 — Cory Booker (@CoryBooker) May 1, 2019 Barr is now refusing to testify before the House Judiciary Committee. Do YOU think it’s high time for AG Barr to resign??? We wouldn’t be mad at it—AT ALL.
