Amash accuses Barr of selling Trump's 'false narrative'

Rep. Justin Amash, who earlier this month became the first Republican member of Congress to call for President Donald Trump’s impeachment, took aim at Attorney General William Barr on Tuesday — charging that the nation’s top law enforcement officer has “used his position to sell the president's false narrative to the American people.”

In a 25-post Twitter spree, the Michigan lawmaker accused Barr of having “deliberately misrepresented” the findings of Robert Mueller’s investigation in a March 24 letter to Congress summarizing the special counsel’s findings.

Amash wrote online Tuesday that Barr’s letter “selectively quotes and summarizes points in Mueller’s report in misleading ways,” and asserted that “the public and Congress were misled” as a result of the attorney general’s initial four-page summary.

Amash admonished Barr for not complying with Mueller’s request — articulated in a March 27 letter from the special counsel to the attorney general — to release the introductions and executive summaries of Mueller’s report.

Wapo the other day reported that the network MSM evening news shows, greatly outdraw all cable shows.
The lead ABC evening news show, pulls 9 million viewers. This is 3x Maddow or Hannity.

The seniors still watch those 'balanced' shows, - and Grand Rapids, at least, supported senior trump support erosion reported here on DU, suggests . . . some cause for optimism. Seniors vote. Seniors who attend town republicon town halls may be very likely to vote.

Even in Missouri, McCaskill was able to win, with ugly 'cons exposed.
