'We have repeatedly warned you and your predecessors that the misuse of our criminal justice system for political purposes is both dangerous to our democracy,' the House committee wrote in a letter to Barr.

Attorney General William Barr has accepted an invitation to testify before the House Judiciary Committee next month about his alleged intervention in Roger Stone's sentencing, the removal of U.S. Attorney Jessie Liu and Rudy Giuliani feeding the Department of Justice information about President Donald Trump's political rivals.sent to Barr on Wednesday, the House committee confirmed the attorney general's"agreement to testify" on March 31, 2020.

"In your tenure as Attorney General, you have engaged in a pattern of conduct in legal matters relating to the President that raises significant concerns for this Committee," they added. U.S. Attorney General William Barr speaks about the Justice Department's Russia investigation into the 2016 presidential campaign, during the Wall Street Journal's annual CEO Council meeting, at the Four Seasons Hotel on December 10, 2019 in Washington, DC.Barr has faced significant criticism from Democrats and Trump critics in the past 24 hours over the Department of Justice's handling of Stone's criminal case.

It is rare for the DOJ to overturn recommendations made by their own prosecutors, which had already been lodged with the courts. In response, all four career prosecutors involved in Stone's case—Jonathan Kravis, Aaron S.J. Zelinsky, Adam Jed and Michael Marando—requested to withdraw from the proceedings, with one resigning from the department.

But let's give them a month and a half to get their lies straight!

ImpeachBarr

He’ll just tell them off because he is the AG and the president has his back.

Is he going to tell the truth under oath?

Fat mob lawyer

He won’t recuse himself and won’t recall anything that happened.

Barr is the Greatest.

MAKE HIM TESTIFY UNDER OATH AND SEE HOW OFTEN HE FAILS TO ANSWER AND TAKES THE 5th.

But he won’t testify until after the sentencing of stone.. wow How under impressive!!

Barr needs to testify today, not a month from now.

I can expect he'll hem and haw and then finish with a great mob flourish, 'Whachagonnadooaboutit?'

He has plenty of time to come up with some bullshit lies.

This needs to happen long before the end of March - it will be forgotten by then and overshadowed by other misdeeds of this administration.

HouseGOP HouseDemocrats why the wait If you want any semblance of truth do it now! Time will only give him a chance to come up with more lies!!!!

That’s March 31st. There’s going to be a lot more happen between now and then.

Barr is unflappable... good luck with that, DNC! MAGA KAG2020

Whatever🙄...big waste of time. Either: A. The WH will direct him to no-show or B. If he does appear, it'll be more of this👇🏿

The entire absurd basis for the investigation and trial of Roger Stone, remember, was: 'Donald Trump is a Russian intelligence asset.' Which is now, and was then, the craziest conspiracy theory that anybody could've dreamed up, yet Mueller investigated it anyway... to get Trump

And he will lie like a snake

Should be NEXT week. One no,th- long enough to change documents, erase tweets, put communication in a secret server. Have democrats learned nothing as well.

In late March! How many more crimes will be committed before then! 😡

Barr will testify in six weeks? We’ll wait six weeks to realize he's not going to show up.

AH, UM OH, can you repeat the question?

🥃🌛🌟

All he going to do is lie. Just like he lied to get the job. Stop wasting Americans time!

Best AG ever!!

Doublespeak, snark alert.

realDonaldTrump Please pardon the witch hunt victims.
