(37,999 posts)Long story short, he just insinuated the Barr couldn't be trusted to oversee all the current cases against persons/entities as a result of the Mueller investigation.

They are holding up a big chart on "evidence" of Drumpf "obstructing justice".

Convenient.

(128,844 posts)Blumenthal - You don't recall discussing these cases with anyone in the White House including the President?
Barr - Blahblabbbbadssdjooofosdfss I don'tfbbadf recall.
Burgermeister Meisterburger frown.
Afromania
(2,768 posts)He didn't give the WH "substantive" information but he did give them non -substantive information about one case, but he also can't recall talking to anybody in the WH, but he also knows of 15-18 cases going on that he can't.... Forget it. This is bullshit.

It often seems as if Barr hasn't read the entire Mueller report (or is just acting dumb).
elleng
(130,865 posts)Neither he nor anyone examined the underlying evidence of the Report.

(8,144 posts)What prosecutorial skill. And all while being utterly composed, even toned, gracious coming in for the landing. He made a charging decision without reviewing the evidence. Must have prepared the no collusion, no obstruction before Muellers ink was dried. He and Rosie didnt need no stinkin
evidence.
Tommy_Carcetti
(43,173 posts)...about whether anyone at the White House has suggested he investigate anyone.

(36,841 posts)BARR: ..... ah .....
HARRIS: Seems like something you should be able to answer
BARR: I don't know .......

(15,278 posts)and ask if Barr still stood by that statement? There is no answer Barr could give that wouldn't implicate himself in lying to Congress and perjury.

(10,053 posts)I tried to watch, Barr made me sick to my stomach and I had to stop....
vlyons
(10,252 posts)Called Barr a liar to his face. Named all the Trump crimes cited in the report. No pussy footing around with her.
avebury
(10,952 posts)Sounds like Barr wasn't happy that Mueller put it in writing. That pesky documenting of the shit going on.
Barr called Mueller's letter - snitty. Bob probably had someone else write the letter.
Barr got snippy when Bluementhal asked for his notes on the phone call.
elleng
(130,865 posts)said barr.
Kali
(55,007 posts)why won;t he release phone call notes?
BumRushDaShow
(128,844 posts)I expect the House is going to use this info to demand a copy of those notes because Graham ran out of there in a snit with the vapors declaring the whole matter "over".
