Opinion | Barr has set himself up — and Trump — for embarrassment

FBI Director Christopher A. Wray. By Jennifer Rubin Jennifer Rubin Opinion writer covering politics and policy, foreign and domestic Email Bio Follow Opinion writer May 7 at 1:45 PM Attorney General William P. Barr refused to play it straight with special counsel Robert S. Mueller III’s report. Instead of presenting the report objectively, he substituted his own view of the facts.

Shaheen pressed him further, asking whether he had any evidence that illegal surveillance was conducted on individuals associated with the campaign. If they can ever haul Barr up to the Hill again, Democrats should press him as to why he made a specious charge. When Mueller finally testifies , he will be asked: Given that the attorney general thinks the Justice Department can opine on grounds for indictment, what is your own view? If Mueller feels free to answer in the wake of Barr’s legal gymnastics, I’m confident that he’ll agree with 600 or so former prosecutors.

Oh Barr won’t be embarrassed. That’s for sure. Nothing funny about this serious man. He’s a real AG and some powerful people will be going down very soon. MAGA.

You have to have a conscience to feel embarrassed and neither one of these men have that.

Seems like Democrats have embarrassed themselves.

Not even close!

You did that for the last 2 years! Hey, how's that defamation case going?

We can only hope. Reminds me of the Al Pacino line in And Juctice for all only substitute out of order with the word obstruction.

These corrupt behavior DEMAND Impeachment since Congress can't move forward anyways as senatemajldr have said he will BLOCK & DENY dems bills. So impeach realDonaldTrump NÒW SpeakerPelosi AOC JerryNadler SenSchumer. GOP Riggers must GO

...and failure

Blah blah. Fellows and gals, it’s time to get off the pot and lock somebody in the trump crime family up. TiredOfWaitingForJustice

Opinion: Democrats are in for a major investigation for their part in the creation and promotion of a treasonous dossier used to subvert our government!

The consistent pattern of in-your-face denials and unwillingness to cooperate with Congress tells us democracy is threatened and we are not safe or well served. Congress has the duty of oversight and uphold its Checks & Balances. Without this, we end up approving autocracy.

They don’t get embarrassed. Or humiliated, shamed or anything of that ilk. They’re like reptiles. They don’t have feelings. 👎🏼

As if they care about embarrassment. They only care a about power and profit.

You spelled incarceration wrong.

Sure they have.....even though it was Mueller who spent 600 days and 30 million investigating a Russian fraud!

Says Jennifer Rubin the failed lawyer and fake conservative.

Not if the Dems don't do anything. If the continue to sit on their hands, it will look like they called Pelosi's bluff... If she is bluffing. DoSomething

Not likely. It’s been Democrat’s embarrassing themselves for two years. They’ve been wrong in everything.

Opinions are like a**holes everyone has one

Hopefully.

Tick Tock!!

Everyone associated with Trump is a liar.

Too late, they are perpetuating the new world look at the USA, a farcical, corrupt, bullying dictatorial administration that makes Saddam Hussein look like a gentle kindergarten teacher.....good luck with the economy now Donald....

Embarrassment should be the least of it! Impeach them both - defend the rule of law! ImpeachmentHearingsNow

Set up for 'embarrassment' - how about just simply 'prison'

That’ll stop them in their tracks over at the Trump administration.

Really? Does anyone think we can embarrass Barr or Trump? I seriously doubt they will be. We look weak and fearful, not them.

Really?

Think these guys are past embarrassment. Long past

Trump's closeness with the anti-Christians has made it so that the US is placating the warmongering aristocrats, who drain America for money because they are monarchists, and now warmongering operations against Iran up high in the priority.

Keep on trucking..

Yup, that must b exactly y the Dems r running scared for their lives with all the political theatrics... Lol👍

Humility means most to those who can be shamed.

Suspect when the lemon is pealed Washington Post's owner Jeff Bezos will likely eat those sour words. He and other propaganda moguls have set themselves up for criminal charges. Have provided treasonous subversives cover and support. May be charged with accessory after the fact.

When bar completes his investigation on a Democrats and how all this Trump Russia collusion started I believe he's not going to be the one embarrassed

What makes you think that Trump or Barr care or that Trump supporters even care? Nothing will come out of them being embarrassed. Trump should have been embarrassed by the documentation of his attempts at obstruction. That didn't happen, did it?

Embarrassment?! 45 doesn’t care about that! Media and political adversaries have tried to take him out for years. He’s like the cockroach. Sadly media and adversaries will fail again. Unless they get to his level. NormaJTorres SpeakerPelosi

Can’t shame the shameless.

This an opinion from the same lady that continually got the collusion narrative wrong. Why do we care about your opinion? It doesn’t resonate with middle America.

Nope😊

So..its a just a matter of time before Wray gets the heave ho for not being a team player...maybe events will keep WH so distracted that the Admin will forget about Wray. Prez's lawyers are not winning so the schitt tornado needs a lot of hot air..🍊🍕💩

Trump never colluded with the Russians nor did he obstruct any investigation according to the law. Fake news, or propaganda sources like Washington Post are running cover (aiding & abetting) treasonous subversives intending to frame Trump for impeachable crime . Traitors!

Embarrassed? They’re incapable of being embarrassed because they have no shame.

The embarrassment lies at your feet and that of the Democratic Party. And no amount of bs fake headlines will ever change that . The country is laughing at you

lol truth Is painful

Barr is leading the Russia - gate Cover-up. Trump, Barr, McConnell and Putin are all stonewalling and insisting that Americans not learn the truth.

Do they really care? U think?

Here’s hoping.

No.I don't believe that!

WRONG!

Good

Terrible headline. People like that don't suffer from embarrassment. And no one cares about embarrassing them. We want justtice served, which, in this case incl impeachment/indictment of Trump & any legal actions that are appropriate, taken agst Barr, also.

I'll believe it when I see it. Too many powerful people on their side are corrupt, like judges.

45 has embarrassed me, and this country, since he took the oath of office - nothing new here

That would require someone willing to hold him accountable.

Analysis: There is one report. The one who signed it Is still happy with it. All else is these dreams which frankly have no heart.

Definitely an opinion. Certainly not true.

No realDonaldTrump beat him on that one...but Barr right behind him..

Oh, FFS. What in the world makes you think these two would feel embarrassed? About anything? Ever?

JRubinBlogger 'bevy' not 'bevvy'

When the whole truth comes out eventually, Trump, his sycophants, and his supporters will be embarrassed.

Trump and Barr have no shame.

Two plus years of getting it wrong and had the unbridled gall to talk about “embarrassment”

That’s sweet that you think Republicans are capable of experiencing shame.

LoL!

Impeach both of them

If the Dems will seize the opportunity. That's a big if.
