Wow. Barr just said intelligence agencies spied on the Trump campaign, saying he doesn't know if it was proper. That's why he's reviewing how Mueller's investigation began.
Literally spreading Trump's bullshit.

When aides to a presidential nominee brag about their connections to Russia and tell people Russia has dirt on the nominee's opponent, our intelligence agencies better investigate the nominee or they wouldn't be doing their job.
Barr says Mueller's report contains an explanation on why he didn't charge Trump with obstruction. He also says Mueller did NOT ask him to decide if Trump should or should not be charged.
Hmmm Sen. Leahy seems to be implying he may have information that Barr did in fact discuss the report with Trump...
Surprise surprise. Republicans saying anyone who disagrees with Barr's choices re:Mueller's report are immature. Republicans also saying if congress has an un-redacted report, they'll leak it.
Republican Sen. John Kennedy blames congress (Democrats) for ruining Dr. Ford's life. Instead of, you know, Brett Kavanaugh.
Barr won't state Trump was wrong that Mueller's investigation was a witch hunt. He instead said "I have not used those words."
Barr is refusing to answer why he decided not to charge Trump with obstruction until after the report is released. He refuses to talk about the basis for his conclusion and about his 2018 memo.
Barr says he doesn't know if Mueller agrees with his decision not to charge Trump.

Barr won't commit to hold back from overruling any decisions Mueller's team makes regarding redactions of the report.
Barr said he didn't use Mueller's team's prepared summaries because it wasn't ready for release. He disputes the claim that their summaries were vetted - that's why he wrote his own summary.
Again, Barr says his summary wasn't a summary. He didn't want to release a summary.

Barr says he won't state that the White House hasn't seen the report until the report is released...
Suspicious.
Suspicious.
Lindsey Graham and Barr are basically saying the FBI didn't warn the Trump campaign they were being targeted by a foreign entity. Barr says that's why he's reviewing the FBI’s activities.
However, both Clinton and Trump's campaign WERE warned
