It’s an impeachable crime for an Attorney General too, hon! So it goes.

Right now, Barr literally looks like he is holding back tears.
I could whup his giant ASS at poker, holy shit. His voice, his blinking, the motionless pauses, you can practically smell the lying.
Barr is exactly who the president thought Sessions was going to be.
.... change the lawyer’s account in order to prevent further criticism of himself.”
Attorney General William Barr: “Well, that’s not a crime.”
If a defense attorney working for Donald Trump had been in this hearing in the place of Barr, the answers to the questions would be exactly the same. How anyone can think that this is acceptable is beyond me. This should go beyond partisanship but sadly one party has decided that their team is more important than…
That is why Trump hired him, what I said is why actual smart people in the GOP floated his name to Trump. The memo was just the prerequisite ego boost that Trump required to even consider Barr.
William Safire (a GOP speechwriter who worked for VP Agnew) called Barr “the Cover-Up General” back when Barr had his first go at AG.
Holy shit Barr just admitted that he didn’t read all the underlying evidence.
He was hired largely in part because last June he auditioned for the job by submitting a twenty page paper to the DoJ on how the FBI was over reaching, Mike Flynn should be freed and Trump can’t obstruct justice by default.
Every Dem, from now until Nov 2020 (and after as well), needs to label Republicans broadly, and Trump specifically, as corrupt.
I’ve watched most of this shit show today. Bill “eat more candy” Barr is such a word spinning manipulative piece of shit and worse, the spineless GOP senate ass clowns are eating it up and coddling him.
I am hopeful that the Democratically lead house will be able to nail this sniveling perjury jello to the wall.
Like watching Oliver fucking North again.
Barr was hired by Trump largely in part because Barr lied to Congress about the conclusion of a FBI memo in 1989 and that because he helped orchestrate the final cover up of the Iran/Contra scandal in 1992 so he could do the same for Trump. The problem this time around is that the Trump campaign/administration are…
Josh Hawley trying to act tough during that hearing was hilarious. The GOp are such bad-faith actors, it’s despicable.
Barr couldn’t even bring himself to say under Sen. Hirono’s questioning that Trump asking White House Counsel to prepare false documents is wrong (much less a crime).
At one point this asshole literally said “i don’t know what you mean by ‘receptive.’”
