Barr says Justice Department is done with Mueller probe

"From here on, the exercise of responding and reacting to the report is a matter for the American people and the political process," he says."As I am sure you agree, it is vitally important for the Department of Justice to stand apart from the political process and not to become an adjunct of it."

Congressional Democrats indicated that Barr will likely come under sharp questioning in his testimony on Wednesday and in his scheduled testimony before the House Judiciary Committee on Thursday. Barr has threatened to skip the House hearing because of his concerns over its format. In an echo of comments made Tuesday night by Rudy Giuliani, Trump's personal attorney, Barr indicates in his prepared remarks that because Mueller didn't reach a conclusion on the president's involvement, that question has also been settled.

"The Special Counsel was, after all, a federal prosecutor in the Department of Justice charged with making prosecution or declination decisions," he says. "Once a prosecutor has exhausted his investigation into the facts of a case, he or she faces a binary choice: either to commence or to decline prosecution," he says, adding:"The appointment of a Special Counsel and the investigation of the conduct of the President of the United States do not change these rules."

Lies.

Barry looks composed, is providing clear and coherent answers, and there will be no need to follow up with Mr. Robert Meuller. Yeah, right.

How can that man after reading that report sit there and lie like a Persian rug. Just to protect a criminal he must be a criminal 2 what a disgusting lion son of a b****

Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee are gaslighting Americans. BarrLied LindseyGrahamSC MuellerLetter

How many Russian rubles thru the NRA did Mike Lee accept?

Summary or not a summary which was a summary twice so AG Barr when will you clear your desk🤷‍♀️

AG barr is nothing more than a Trump toadie &should resign

As of Lee of Utah who climbed the wrong fence trying to mock our southern border😅

Carter page was giving away Binders with Intel to the Russians and that's he got caught not for the Steele dossier AG says he wasn't aware of surveillance that's BS your the AG your brief over everything so yet another lie Barr

How does AG barr doesn't know about Carter paige your either stupid &should be fired for incompetence or liar and should be fired

Lee just asked Barr if Putin “had” anything on Trump politically personally financially. Barr response “not that I’m aware of”. Mueller didnt look at Trumps financial records, and congress is being denied financial records. Until those are provided there will always be suspicion

How many times did grassley just present incorrect information? This is just too much

This man who the American people are paying his salary is working for the president of the United States as his personal bodyguard! personal lawyer and he's lying to the American people this man needs to step down now.

Why are we talking about Obama?

Why do we have republicans

This is pissing me off

BreakingNews Libs, You will not win this round...just like the last and the one before it. Watching you scramble to come up with something else will be glorious.

Barr wasn't even AG during the Comey situation! And who cares about Hillary's emails? IT IS 2019!

They are really discussing Hilary Clinton ?

Lindsay Graham is just a mouthpiece for this Administration. Barr lost whatever credibility he had. It wasn't his place to add any comments at all. There were ten cases of obstruction. The House should have received the unredacted report right away.

Lol did he say he wanted public “discord” when he meant “discourse” because he definitely caused discord

Who is the man behind AG Barr at this morning's hearing? Secret Service detail?

Very interesting.

BreakingNews ...and the misinformation and lies go on and on. Please stop the madness, vote this government out of office in 2020.

BreakingNews Low Barr

Barr is Stalling

Tool

LindseyGrahamSC acts as human shield for POTUS on no collusion when Mueller’s report specifically did not address collusion. Mueller’s report investigated obstruction of justice & conspiracy with Russian interference of our elections by POTUS get it right Graham! SenFeinstein

more photo ops for the DEMs which is all they got!!!

Typical. When everything fails, blame the Clintons. Are you fucking kidding me

Oh shit! Lindsey Graham is going to drop the bombs 💣 today! The woman behind him looks like her best friend left her

Flimsey Graham. The repubes no. 1 Spin Doctor and Snake Oil salesman. Another career of someone who could have been a good American about to go down the drain.

NBCNightlyNews God, Graham is vile

This is such a joke. Graham is a Trump cronie.

It isn’t about Clinton. FFS, stop

So you really like Donald Trump now Lindsey?

Lindsey Graham is a traitor

LindseyGrahamSC is just a Trump mouthpiece now. He's completely bought and paid for.

Nobody wants to hear your lies Lindsey Graham!

MeetThePress Lindsey is definitely Trump water bottle boy

Lindsay proves himself to be part of the termite band, gnawing away at the beauty of America's ancient and honored democracy. He is a traitor to his country. Russia puppet. America's fool.

Clinton emails?!! Seriously?!! GOP and LindseyGrahamSC have no shame or patriotism! Maybe he has Russian money in his coffers too

As soon as Graham finishes his quotes, someone should quote him: 'If we nominate Trump, we will get destroyed.......and we will deserve it.'

Graham is talking about Strzok and Page!!

He's supposed to be talking to Barr about his handling of the Mueller Report and he's STILL bringing up HillaryClinton emails?

Have graham on mute, saw where he was going, sick of listening to them defend the indefensible

Lindsey Graham is so one sided...He Thinks Trump is God....And Clinton and Obama are the Devil....Go back to SC

Everyone just please turn your feed OFF until this uptrumpsa** has finished spewing garbage ahead of Barr testifying.

Did Lindsay Graham just admit he hadn’t read the whole Mueller report? WTF

Graham has not read the entire report? How can he possibly be considered credible in commenting?
