Opinion: Mueller may be done, but Barr is just getting started

Attorney General William P. Barr. By Ed Rogers Ed Rogers Opinion writer focusing on politics Email Bio Follow Opinion writer April 15 at 6:54 PM Even though Attorney General William P. Barr is expected to release a more complete version of special counsel Robert S. Mueller III’s report later this week, no one should expect that will be the end of the debate. Democrats have been forthright in their eagerness to get the full Mueller report.

It deserves repeating: Even though Mueller is through, Barr is not. Almost instantly, Democrats attacked the attorney general. They are demanding that Barr retract his comments and not investigate spying on the Trump campaign. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi went so far as to say that Barr had gone"off the rails.” Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer piled on, tweeting that “AG Barr must retract his statement immediately or produce specific evidence to back it up.

I have known Bill Barr for decades. He is the right man at the right time. He has been attorney general before — from 1991 to 1993 — and this is probably his last job. He does not need to posture or worry about his post-government career. He won’t be affected by the attacks from partisan Democrats who fear that his investigation may reveal misdeeds by some of their own.

This look says: I am ashamed in front of my children and the Devil because I'm going to hell!

With following orders.

Good, lock them all up!!!!!

As soon as they declassify FISA, Democrats won't have a chance.

To be fair to Ed Rogers, there wouldn’t be propaganda without propagandists and everyone needs to earn a living. But does the WaPo need to publish it?

Im starting to feel sorry for the Russians, everyone's favorite scapegoat 🤣

That ass is already done IMO

As it is, I don't think the public will ever know the full truth about neither the Mueller investigation and report nor Barr's 'redactions', conclusions exonerating Trump etc.. Instead there should be a trustworthy completely independant investigation into the matters concerned.

It’s super depressing now looking at government officials they all look so depressed to be there

Constitution matters. This Country was created wirh the rule of law. Something the dems failed in civics class.

Your disregard for democracy and the rule of law is showing.

Democrats are scared they are targeted as well they should be.

Ed Rogers. What a joke of a man. Dems will “bend the report to their liking”. You mean like Barr did? And spying? All surveillance was done properly. Barr is just spewing out lines to feed the criminal oaf Trump’s narrative.

It is not good to spend 2 years for investigation but only 4 pages of the report revealed the whole of the report should reveal in public

Mueller time is over, it's now time for the Barr exam

Opinion: Ed Rogers' opinion is ass.

Go, Barr!

HOPE BARR LOCKS UP THE CROOKED DEMONCRATS AND THE GOOD FOR NOTHING FAKE NEWS MEDIA.....FOR THE LIE THEY CREATED ABOUT TRUMP.....THEY HAVE NO CONSCIENCE OR COMMON DECENCY.

Grand Jury investigation seems interesting... How many politicians are going to get cuffed?

What a bloated walrus of a man. He’s just a cog in the Trump Crime Family machine.

Conspiracy theory nonsense.

So is Trump. And he is almost completely free of constraint.

Tic Toc

peterwallsten We beg of you to take edrogers off the opinions assembly line. He really falls outside the lines of rational *conservativism* — even in America, circa 2019.

He is the epitome of gluttonous. Period.

Imagine that. No collusion.... does the left have any credibility left?

I almost feel sorry for dems, almost, well actually not at all. 😂

But, But, But the ‘checks and balances’ will sort everything out!🤣🤣🤣

What a load of garbage: “Those who propped up the collusion narrative are determined to do anything and everything to try to bend the report to their liking and count on their allies in the media to keep the collusion story alive.”

YES YES YES YES! Democrats freedom patriotic fighters will bring us the LIGHT! civil rehabilitation of federalreserve!!! bcc SenWarren I was thinking about Amendment 28th: Prohibits dollars to be managed by private corporations, civil rehabilitation proceedings..

Washington, Jefferson, Franklin, and Adams are all weeping.

Shame its coming out at Easter. Spoils the Easter season to be honest as everyone will be thinking of Fisa Reports instead of Easter.

Trump should stop wasting time and pardon and hire MichaelAvenatti already and get this over with.

TIC TOC

Mueller sucks.
