Attorney General Bill Barr is forcefully defending the Justice Department's probe into the origins of the Russia investigation, saying he has “more questions today than when I first started.”
Defenders of the president have asserted that the Russia investigation, which concluded in March without charges of conspiracy to collude or obstruction of justice for the president, was tainted from the beginning by political bias within the FBI. They have also accused the Obama administration of “spying” on Trump’s campaign.
Those officials, and even current DOJ officials like FBI Director Chris Wray, have objected to Barr’s use of the term “spying” to refer to the counterintelligence investigation of the Trump campaign, which included court-authorized wiretaps of U.S. citizens. But Barr reiterated that characterization in an“Government power was used to spy on American citizens,” he said in justifying his review. “I can’t imagine any world where we wouldn’t take a look and make sure that was done properly.
Trump indicated his support for Barr’s investigation Friday, again slamming the Russia investigation as “treason.”
Release the full Mueller report.
Obstructive AG
He’s a liar.
He's a good little doggie.
I hate trump
He must of actually READ the report.. hence all the questions.. “did I just pick the wrong side?.. am I just as guilty? .. how stupid could I have been?... oh crap - am I going to jail?!”
And after the 'Flynn' news update the American people have 'more questions today' than they had when Barr read his four page summary.
We are losing our allies because of this administration of liars and thieves.
We also have many more questions for Mr Barr of course he's not going to answer any
Now he’s investigating the very institutions he’s supposed to protect. He definitely shows a great lack of integrity
What side of the Justice system is the attorney general working from . Because obstruction of justice used to be a crime , working with a foreign government to change an elections result used to be a crime
William 'Roland Freisler' Barr protects his Fuhrer!
Walrus Barf should step down and let real, non corrupted people taje over.
TheJusticeDept Read this Perhaps you need a refresher on the oranges and all the fruits of the Mueller investigation!
Well duh... just witness the conspirators turning on each other. Prepare for a real investigation with REAL EVIDENCE. 🍿🍿
Ask about trumpFlynn
I have one question. When is Trump and Barr getting impeached?
Oh that's not a good thing. The way Barr handles himself you know he's a very smart man. One of those guys you want in your side and hate on the other side
Funny Bill, we also have fewer answers from you than we expected.
The Obama administration was all about spying and lying. Usually democrats would go crazy over such abuses but not when Obama did it. Not even a whimper. Ask the 100+ AP reporters or our allies who were wiretapped.
These two should have been aborted!
He's dirty af
Barr is going to do another lying summary to create doubt just like he did for the Mueller Report...
When he started as Trumps lawyer not the people’s
You Go AG Barr .. there are many of us out here who want the truth! 🇺🇸 Trump 2020 🇺🇸
Barr has his marching orders. Is he stockpiling the koolaid yet?
Disgraceful.
Why are the tax payers paying for Barr? He works as Don the Con's personal lawyer. Barr begged to be Trumps lawyer. Do the taxpayers have to pay Barr 2 pensions now? Better not.
What happened to “case closed”?
Considering all the questions he had about the word suggest, are we surprised. The man questions everything
Arrest Barr for contempt.
Card carrying member of Trump Inc. .
You guys are fucked lol.
That works both ways Bill.
I heard he just goes into the office, eats everyone’s lunch out of the break room frig, then naps the rest of the day.
Barr is a national disgrace
Watch the obstruction worsen as AG Barr pursues the answers to his questions. The left can't allow Barr to do anything that will in anyway reflect poorly on their never ending drive for one party, totalitarian rule in the U.S. Next will be forcing U.S. into globalized socialism.
Whose 'explanations' of what is he referring to, I wonder? And why is he giving interviews while the bs INTERNAL 'inquiry' is ostensibly underway? My guess is he's making shit up.
I can’t wait to see Barr led away in cuffs.
reckoning Oh this is gonna be good!
I wish the media would call out lies and stop spreading bullshit
This has Hillary Clinton's fingerprints all over it, more so than Monica Lewinsky's hand prints all over Bill's cigar.........
Let’s just skip to the conclusion. The king’s hand will find that the FBI is the deep state. Democracy out.
I trust this AG to do the right thing. He has respect for the law & our constitution. Stand the course, AG Barr!
For the 'move on' group. We will do so when we are ready to move on. I have more questions too.
Maybe do some reading. He didn't even read the Mueller report.
Bro, not really. The guy came in biased already.
He’s just encouraging the conspiracy until his argument falls apart. Like with his “summary” of the mueller report.
Stop tax payers time & funds for wasteful vendetta of president
Unfortunately, those questions were all about his integrity.
It's political theater; a show for Trump and his supporters.
