Bill Barr says he'll follow special counsel regulations to the letter and allow "Bob" to finish his investigation.

One is, of course, incompatible with the other.

@realDonaldTrump's biggest weakness is his desire to be liked by all.

Ugh oh. Bill Barr just stated he opposes illegal immigration. He better hope he's 1) lying and 2) Democrats know it. That's their sacred cow.

Look how uncomfortable Bill Barr looks with @LindseyGrahamSC asking him about DOJ/FBI/FISA corruption. He looks very uncomfortable and that should make @realDonaldTrump very uncomfortable. Maybe one day he'll learn no favor for families who hate him, will make them not hate him.

And, we're back. Here's our report, from @ZoeTillman, on the morning: buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…

First up this afternoon is Sen. Whitehouse, whose first question is about Rod Rosenstein and the DAG position.

Barr says he made no agreement regarding getting rid of Rosenstein in order to get the nomination and that he did not request Rosenstein to leave, that Rosenstein said he viewed the position as a two-year stint.

Sen. Dianne Feinstein: “Top of mind for all of us is the ongoing investigation. Importantly, the attorney general must be willing to resist political pressure and be committed to protecting this investigation.” #BarrHearing

Sen. Orrin Hatch says Barr, in his last stint as attorney general, “prioritized fighting violent crime and became known as the law and order attorney general.”

Criminal justice reformers worry about that history: bit.ly/2sqwzfb #BarrHearing

Barr takes the floor at his confirmation hearing and introduces his family to the committee.

"My son ... will someday be in the Department of Justice," he says. #BarrHearing

Bill Barr's confirmation hearing is about to begin. Follow me for a video thread.

@LindseyGrahamSC

.@LindseyGrahamSC: "The times of which we live are very difficult times. I don't see them getting better overnight... So about me... I'll be as measured as possible. The immigration Lindsey will show up. But the [Kavanaugh] guy's there too. I don't like him any more than you do.

@SenFeinstein

.@SenFeinstein tells Barr, "your [memo criticizing the Mueller investigation] shows a large, sweeping view of presidential power... [and] raises a number of questions about your views of executive authority and whether the president is in fact above the law."
