I honestly can't tell who the bigger sycophant is in this Fox News interview with Barr.

Hemmer giving Barr the easiest imaginable interview and not challenging him on anything ... or Barr's sycophancy towards Trump.

Very obvious why Barr went to the safe space of Fox News

Some examples of just how ridiculously soft this interview was:

Hemmer: Dems are criticizing you, they say you lied under oath. What say you?

Barr: It's laughable [conspiracy mongering]

H: Dems say you're spinning for the WH. Were you?

B: No [attacks Dems]

[interview cuts]

Hemmer: Democrats think you weren't being upfront, were you?

Barr: Absolutely.

Hemmer: So there was no contradiction in your view.

[interview cuts out]

Hemmer [conspiracy mongering]: Do you think Mueller was pressured by his team to put certain aspects into the report

Barr: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Hemmer: Do you think he gave in to that pressure?

Barr: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Somehow, despite all this nonsense, 'serious newsman' Chris Wallace says "brother Hemmer did a hell of a job and squeezed the sponge dry getting everything" from Barr

(While simultaneously noting that Barr essentially used the interview to prove to Trump he was a good hype man)
