Before the end of this hearing, there will be a dozen investigations of Clinton and Benghazi will probably be re-opened if Graham's conspiracizing holds up.
Barr: I can't remember off the top of my head.
Umm what hearing did you think you were coming to?
Destroying communications is the exact same thing. Mueller report lists many incidences.
Ok. 🙄
Grassley says he wants an item by item analysis of the Steele dossier and it should have come from Mueller. Ok let's do!
BB: I dunno. Let's have an investigation on that too!!
Shoot me.
🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
The answer is clearly Mueller should testify.
...
BB: why should anyone in the Trump campaign have reported anything to the FBI?
BARR DOESNT EVEN HAVE A COPY OF THE REPORT WITH HIM
It is a g*****n embarrassment.
Hoo boy. Cornyn wants to investigate "Obama FBI" thumbs on the scale. 🙄
Dick Durbin summarizes R questions as the "lock her up defense" 😂😂
A+
It is also 100% clear that he knows zilch about Russia, the Kremlin, key players, objectives.
Things the FBI did NOT make the American public aware of until AFTER the election: Concerns re Trump campaign.
This is a NON issue.
Barr -- nope.
Barr is now openly explaining what the president's legal team would be.
Great.
Barr will not be able to answer his questions on what it is illegal for campaigns to do.
Barr is interpreting a report on Russian interference for the American public and doesn't know what the law is and HAS NO MESSAGE TO THE PUBLIC ON WHAT THIS MEANS
I hear Maduro is looking for coup spox
Blackburn is lobbing softballs at Barr so he can help fill narratives on the FBI and Mueller team being rogue.
This line Rs are seeding that the investigation was a soft coup to "overturn the will of the people" is going to make me bonkers
Barr: I don't want to say "release the memo", but...
Barr: .... uuhhhhhhhhhh. Did you see game of thrones this week? I'm struggling with the word "suggest"
Barr: no.
Check✅
I SERIOUSLY STILL CANNOT WITH TED CRUZ'S WOLVERINE BEARD IT IS SO WEIRD
Barr: I don't know
Amy K: ... can you find out?
Barr: just ask mueller when he comes.
Amy k: thanks, I'll submit it to you.
