Attorney General William Barr kidded Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Wednesday about an impending vote to find him in contempt of Congress.
Barr approached Pelosi, D-Calif., at a National Peace Officers' Memorial Day event outside the Capitol, shook her hand and said loudly,"Madam Speaker, did you bring your handcuffs?" a bystander told NBC News. Pelosi — who will be scheduling the contempt vote against Barr before the full House — smiled, and indicated that the House sergeant-at-arms was present at the ceremony should an arrest be necessary, the bystander said. Barr chuckled and walked away.last week for refusing to comply with a subpoena to provide Congress with an unredacted version of special counsel Robert Mueller’s report on Russian interference in the 2016 election.
"This must be a record, of an attorney general being proposed for contempt within 100 days of taking office," Barr said with a smile.
Not so cute moment for NP with her blocking Impeachment 😑😐
Maybe Nancy and Bill hooked up back in the day and handcuffs were involved?
Juvenile school yard behavior by the AG.
Fake news,
Hitler also, had his third Reich and Mr. Barr is similar.
I'm beginning to dislike SpeakerPelosi I think she may have sold out to the dark side, shes allowing them to sweep and mop the floor with her and pretty soon there won't be nothing left & kick her to the curb and take over. WTF... ENOUGH!!
voodoorider84 Smug mf’r
kitchen5203 She should have slapped him in the side of the head. These Trumper assholes think they can say and do anything they want. They couldn’t care less about being censured or being held in contempt and will only get bolder until somebody snatches them off the ground by the collar.
Funny, I’m glad you keep rerunning it every 2 hours
Tick, tock Demoncrats.
Can any pro colorist tell me WTF you call his hair color?
Damn realDonaldTrump is really orange in daylight. Wow didn't anyone tell him? And he has the nerve to make fun of people. Maybe white house doesn't have mirtors6
Trump has no neck, just a giant head with fake hair. Ugliest so-called President.
Love it
Trump’s like, “who invited marble mouth” to my party? And Barr is like, “ that’s marble mouth!!” 🤣
His is not a “rib”. It is a mob tactic. Call it what it is. Stop legitimizing this behavior.
Arrest him. Arrest him. Come on. SpeakerPelosi
“ He Who Laughs Last Laughs Best “
Lock him up
Do not mess with her..
She was flabbergasted and didn’t know what to say. This is a blatant lie made up by cnn. Talk about fake news.
Wouldn't have it been so cool if she had him arrested, right then and there!
he won't be joking from a jail cell.
Great story three days ago, News is intended to be “new”!
Pelosi had better be ready to handcuff Schitt and Nadler for their attempts of a Coup...
Barr should loose his license to practice law. He's a pathetic excuse for an attorney. If this doesn't destroy what was a questionable career then someone is not doing their job. He's just another trump crime family lackey.
Too bad she couldn’t smack that disrespectful asshole in the face right then and there! Barr must be impeached from office and then indicted for his offenses against our Constitution! Would love to see the look on Pelosi’s face when they take Barr away in handcuffs.
Congress should enforce the law. What a awful question
I cant wait for that day to become a reality. these soulless near humans will get theirs in the future, and history will be the truth teller. worst Pres. and worst ever AG. no doubt about it.

That happened today (again) ? Please explain....
Barr chortled, turned around, and walked away. Durham has a grand jury.
janattheocean She shoulda brought a taser— and aimed directly under his beer belly
Still running with this has been story....? How about you report on the booming economy.. Slow news day for
they should arrest her !!!!!!!!!
He’s laughing at you Speaker Pelosi
Yup! Because they are taking this as a joke- u know why? Cuz Dems are displaying they don’t have the intestinal fortitude to begin impeachment proceedings! I’m sorry- fuck political strategy-this is ur job under constitution!! Politics be damned! It’s all talk talk talk! Act!!!
This is 1 week old.
No handcuffs...but I bet she’d wished she had brought a cattle prod. 🤣 OMG...that would have made an awesome video🤣🤪🤣🤪🤣🤪
Burr is asshxle! He is not worthy! He laughed about it. Wait till arrest you in one day we will mock AG Burr! Go prison with your crooked trump in same room in the prison!
Contemptuous
. The Speaker should have explained that they had to send for handcuff extenders to fit around his fat little wrists. And I am required to contribute to this arrogant POS’s salary when he clearly does not work in the country’s interests.
This is dictator politics. You corrupt the truth to create animosity within the electorate. You encourage impeachment to play the victim card. You create a war or at least a rumor of one to secure a re-election (no sitting president has been ousted of office in war time). Wake up
They are making a mockery of a more than serious situation!!
Looks like a brat! Our President!
This happened like last week yeah?
He knew he committed a crime.
POTUS has DEMOCRATS twisted into pretzels. Things are so good they can’t figure out what to bitch about.
Nancy Pelosi for Prez
10th time with this? Border Crisis Opioid Crisis
Hardy har har, that Fake AG is a laugh riot. 🖕Bill Barr! TheJusticeDept
I guess Barr thinks following the law is just a big joke. How Pelosi keeps her cool just astounds me.
Barr is a cartoon buffoon.
What a shameful show of disrespect. Barr has sacrificed every shred of his reputation. So sorry for his family. Must be hard to show their face anywhere.
In my opinion, lock him up for not obeying law.
Barr knows he will never be arrested. I hope he miscalculated. investigateBarrNow
Donnie always has a fur lined pair in his jacket pocket for those chance encounters with porn stars or playmates.
Get 'em Madam Speaker. LockHimUp
That is contemptuous enough righ there. Lock them up!
316alco jodotcom Wonder will Barr avoid Capital Hill if he's found. In contempt of congress
Like a baws
Bill Barr will be the 5th on Mt. Rushmore after he's through with investigating the slimey previous administration.
The arrogance of Barr n Trump. DT finally got Barr to be his Roy Cohn who was DT personal lawyer n fixer. Our institutions r compromised.
No hanging?
She should have brought the noose
Wtf!!
Lock him up
You should have said, “Yes, the question is will I have to use them?” SpeakerPelosi
Yea most Americans know this is a political joke. However keeps doubling down thinking it helps with ratings. Clearly it doesn’t
Smug sob, isn’t he?
Don’t worry AG Barr your time is coming sooner than later !👍🏻
The Sergeant at Arms should have used them!
So Barr is into bondage?
Mehdi Hasan is powerful !!!!!! Facts Matters!!!!!!! Tiffany Cross is powerful !!!!!! Facts Matters!!!!!! Malcolm Nance is powerful !!!!! Facts Matters!!!!! Watching MSNBC AM Joy Reid!!! Later I'll watch MSNBC Politics Nation Rev Al Sharpton!! Facts Matters
SpeakerPelosi Today would be a good day to announce the start of the aggressive investigation and impeachment you've been inexplicably avoiding. America deserves accountability.
This is OLD not even news
We’ll see who ends up in handcuffs. Won’t we.
American Democracy and the Rule of Law has evaporated under the criminal regime of realDonaldTrump . The top Law Enforcement Official openly defy and mock our laws. I see the second American Revolutionon the horizon. Thanks to the complicity of the GOP and a weak DNC .
Huh. I guess there IS some truth to every joke. Barr subconsciously let Pelosi know he intentionally misled the president AND the American people, with his “summation” of the Mueller Report.
Barr is such a pompous a...…
Watching MSNBC AM Joy Reid !!!!!!!
Barr is a joke as AG! There had to be better choices.
Looks like an ad for cholesterol levels
Book ‘me Nancy! Bend his arm way back!⚖️👮🏼♀️
SpeakerPelosi RepJerryNadler McConnell won’t let you pass anything. Barr taunts you to your face. Mnuchin defies your authority. Impeachment for Trump and Barr. Hold them accountable, show all voters their crimes. Show Dem voters you care. Evil wins when good people do nothing.
Lock him up. See if he laughs then
She is prideful. Get that witch out of Congress.
I can’t stand that’s smug a& mf Barr
Maybe he was ready to confess
Lock him up.
They all think they’re above the law. Treasonous bastards.
If only there was something SpeakerPelosi could do other than make a snarky comment...
Glad he thinks his actual contempt of Congress is a joke. CorruptAG TheyAreTheSwamp
Please lock him up
This dance is getting old. Snark doesn't get us very far.
I find it crazy that so many Americans have ruined either their careers or reputation to protect a guy who would trash them in a second.
*whatever TheDemocrats are under the microscope now. Did you play a part in the leaking of classified information ?
A missed opportunity for her to have simply replied: 'why, have you broken any laws'? 🤷♂️🤷♂️ He's thumbing his nose at you Nancy.
So FYI to all those law and order people.
*4 days ago
Nancy has become a joke...a caricature of a Speaker. Old time power politics...all about power and zero concern about the Country. Look at her lack of action as we are literally being overrun with Illegal Immigrants?! No Patriot this jackass...
Perfect response from Nancy.. All the criminals involved in Watergate were arrogant too. The truth always congres out.
Hey Barr, it's a valid concern. Guilty conscience?
Love Barr. Devoted to finding the truth behind the conspiracy to overthrow Trump and still finds time to troll the libs.
Again I’ll say it, she is classy ...... he is an a****le😇
Libs shot themselves in the foot with the Mueller report. Not going to age well in this next election!
Y’all are the fake news of retweet’s and repeats , same ole crap from a week ago . Get some real journalists.
Pelosi’s answer was brilliant.
Lol she ain’t gonna do shit but be snarky and protect capital
It is time to get serious. If Congress has powers, it is time to put those powers to work. We don't need more talk or threats, just action. DO SOMETHING!!!!
Sounds like sexual harassment.
That is so ball busting funny stuff! What did Barack know and when did he know it? LOCK HIM UP!🤬
Making fun of serious things is a Trump trademark. Playing along makes things worse, not better.
Yessss. 👠👠💃🏼

Trump: 'Mueller no friend of mine,' up to Barr if he testifiesPresident Donald Trump criticized special counsel Robert Mueller and said that it is 'up to' Attorney General William Barr if Mueller can testify before Congress. And Barr will do whatever Trump orders him to do. Barr already agreed under oath to Mueller testifying. Their paper law games are transparent. 'Edgar Bergen says he is leaving it up to Charlie McCarthy whether Mueller should testify' (for people under the age of 80) 'Jeff Dunham says he is leaving it up to Peanut whether Mueller should testify'
