'The report's headline findings are that the investigation was properly initiated based on a sound factual basis,' attorney Donald Ayer said.

"Bill Barr has grossly mischaracterized and subverted the findings of the IG investigation report addressing the FBI investigation into Russian interference in our 2016 election," said Donald Ayer, a former deputy attorney general, former deputy solicitor general and former U.S. attorney, in his statement.

The attorney referred to Trump as Barr's"client," arguing that the president and the attorney general disregarded the independent inspector general's findings because the"outcome he reaches is not the one desired" by the president. Carrie Cordero, a former counsel to the assistant attorney general for national security, pointed out that the report demonstrated that there was no"evidence of political bias or systematic abuse of surveillance authorities on the part of the FBI." The president and some of his supporters have continued to push such claims, despite the inspector general's findings.

Responding to the report on Monday, Trump said:"It's a disgrace what's happened with respect to the things that were done to our country. It should never again happen to another president." On Tuesday,, whom he appointed, after the bureau head gave his assessment of the report's findings, which was at odds with that of the president and the attorney general.

MalcolmNance This is just a manifestation of Shill Barr’s fealty to Donald J. Trump over our Country. You could tell Barr was a smarmy weasel during his confirmation hearings when he was pretending to listen and respond thoughtfully to the questions posed to him by Democrats.

MalcolmNance Ted Cruz: “A lawyer at the FBI creates fraudulent evidence, alters an email that is in turn used as the basis for a sworn statement for the court that the court relies on. Am I stating that accurately?' IG HOROWITZ: “That is correct. That is what occurred.'

MalcolmNance Typical of Barr and al if trumps minions

MalcolmNance Looks like Grandpa off his meds.

MalcolmNance The 'conservative value' that now overrides all other considerations is - tell whatever lies serves your immediate purpose. Character assassination, falsify document contents, lies about the Constitution . . . ad infinitum.

MalcolmNance So Barr is basically a Christian Crusader, which is why he supports breaking the law to help Trump? Cool, cool

MalcolmNance In this photo Barr looks as if he’s had a stroke. Is that what’s wrong with him?

MalcolmNance He should be... DIS-BARRED

MalcolmNance Chubby chipmunk needs to go and take the rest of those gross-a$$ squatters with him.

reghud Barr appears to be a proud & willing member of Trump’s cult.

Hey Speaking about ' grossly mischaracterizing and subverting findings' ... Let's talk about this whole theater of the absurd the Democrats have put on for three years . On my time, my dollar. Most will be voted OUT come November. Then we can get on with our country.

Conservative attorney group slams Newsweek as grossly mischaracterized and subverted' all news reporting

Barr, Kellyann, Ivanka, Mulvaney, Pompeo, Pence, Giuliani, etc... etc... go around like idiots, trying to please Donald Trump, even when they know he's wrong. Trump's conspiracy theories, his hate, all is supported by these people. They are enablers.

And no one is surprised he did after his inaccurate description of the Mueller report.

How? By simply calling bs to the IG stating that they could not document any bias? Weak... NewsWEAK

And NEGLECTS to tell its readers that the 'conservative lawyers group' was started by well known Trump hater George Conway. Conway can't stand the fact that his wife is more successful than him. Newsweak FAIL.

What if the Trump's administration went to the Fisa court and started their own investigation 🤔 wonder what they found.

Wow that facial expression is he having a stroke?

TapestryofPeace No bias. No hoax. No witch hunt. KnowYourDeplorables No bias. No hoax. No witch hunt. KnowYourDeplorable

AG Barr ALSO misrepresented and mischaracterized the Mueller's report, too.

yep, the Mueller report vs. what Barr said should have been obvious to anyone with reading comprehension abilities

Barr desperately wants a SC justice spot and will do anything for it.

Of course. It was clear he mischaracterized the Mueller Report as well. It doesn't take a lot of effort to see this, but Trumpers will believe whatever he says and he knows it.

Proof: *still Never Trumpsters who think we like them *The “pee evidence” was a joke *Youre not worth the entire $1

Probably some of the same bias morons who signed an irrelevant letter against Trump.

Good

I'm shocked. He seems like such a good dude that would never take money from Russia. 😂

Hey, your checks and balances “conservatives” are fake news.
