Barr: Russia probe review raising more questions, Pelosi claim he lied 'laughable'

In his first television interview, Attorney General William Barr said his initial review of the origins of the Russia probe has produced more questions than adequate answers.

"The fact of the matter is [special counsel] Bob Mueller did not look at the government's activities. He was looking t whether or not the Trump campaign had conspired with the Russians. He was not going back and looking at the counter intelligence program.," Barr said."And we have a number of investigations underway that touch upon it. The main one being the office of inspector general that's looking at the FISA warrants.

"It's part of the usual political circus that's being played out. It doesn't surprise me," he said, adding he doesn't feel threatened. "He was not asked to change his testimony. That was a reaction to a press story in The New York Times that claimed that Trump had told him to fire Mueller. And Trump -- I'm going by what the report said, I'm not arguing the case. But Trump was mad at the word fire and claimed he never directed McGahn to fire Mueller," Barr said.

Barr looks like humpty dumpty.

Ya think? The media will be held criminally culpable / negligent as well. Get ready. Deck of cards is gonna collapse

He is getting away with obstruction and lying because SpeakerPelosi is standing down.

Most corrupt AG in our history. A political hack doing interviews on Fox or any other station. If the ABA has any balls it will comment. Government lawyers don't do this. Period.

WilliamBarr needs to put up or shut up. Where's the evidence of wrongdoing by the intelligence community? Instead of AG, he looks like a partisan hack and realDonaldTrump sycophant.

If Barr had asked Donny if he brought his handcuffs - well, after Donny got aroused - he would do what he could to put Barr in prison. Pelosi should do the same.

John Goodman is not qualified to be our AG Impeach

Yeah because he doesn't have no brains and his job is no to investigate, is to make brainless happy both of them are working in a cover up

Mr. Barr, we also have found myriad of questions about your 4-page summary of Mueller Report. Unfortunately, Democrats in congress show no resolve to pursue justice rather than self pereservation.

So clear, Barr had already decided Mueller probe was illegal. ImpeachBarr ImpeachDonaldTrump ImpeachmentNOW 2020Election

Like the possibility that good ole St Comey was trying to blackmail Trump, before he was sworn in. In an effort to stop his agenda into draining the SWAMP. You know, the one the media protects😡😡😡

i m on the list

More questions, but case closed?

They have the phone records. CNN is screwed.

AGWB is FOS

Nothing but political theater.

You should be jailed you Cocksplateer. Do your job

Why is he playing this political game?

The origins of the Russia probe? 🤔 Let's ask this guy.👇🏻

Yes you have sir!!

Lol at the comments on this.

More winning.

Barr and Trump remind me of the Caligula reign of power.

For any objective person, it’s been that way from day 1.

Justice will prevail! Thanks you, AG Barr for righting the ship.

Trumps traitor

Democrats claim that the FBI started its counter-intelligence investigation, because of Mr. Papadopoulos; while conveniently leaving out that Mr. Papadopoulos was SET-UP by Western Intelligence with that meeting with so-called Australian Diplomat...

This lying toad is trying to set up some kind of conspiracy case against Trump. He has no credibility though.

So the AG now feels free to go on State TV spewing Russian propaganda. Great. Throw him in jail. inherentcontemp HouseDemocrats RepJerryNadler SpeakerPelosi

Barr is deplorable. He is throwing unfounded doubt at everything. I trust US intelligence, law enforcement and Judiciary before I will turn a blind eye to Russian meddling all for partisan gamesmanship. Its disgusting.

He's protecting Trump from legal oversight and must be impeached. He cannot be trusted.

He’s a hack and a criminal. Lock him the hell up!

Why is he commenting about ongoing investigations?
