Opinion: William Barr has shamelessly corrupted the Mueller report

By E.J. Dionne Jr. E.J. Dionne Jr. Columnist covering national politics Email Bio Follow Columnist May 1 at 3:40 PM One of our most colorful legal concepts is the “fruit of the poisonous tree.” The phrase was introduced by Supreme Court Justice Felix Frankfurter 80 years ago to hold that evidence obtained illegally cannot be used to convict a defendant.

Though it would be nice to see an outpouring of public apologies from those who were snookered by Barr, I am not anticipating a run on sackcloth. But it is very heartening — but also, in light of Barr’s subsequent conduct, very disturbing — to know that one person who was infuriated by what Barr did was Mueller himself.

Recovering from Barr’s original sin is well-nigh impossible. Of course, we now know what the report said. Congress can investigate, and the House can even impeach. But the political context for such decisions is irreparably warped. It will take enormous work to overcome that first impression Barr so deviously created.

It was Van Hollen who — two weeks after Mueller had registered his complaint — had asked Barr an un-senatorially direct question: “Did Bob Mueller support your conclusion?”Lawyers might argue over whether this was an outright lie, but to call Barr’s answer misleading and obfuscatory is rather kind. Trump must have been very proud of his attorney general.

Not only the report but he corrupted himself

This is so stupid. Barr followed the law. The dems are mad because the report is not what they wanted. This is not Barr’s fault. It’s over let’s move on

Not tha mama

No surprise for me that is what he volunteered for , to cover for Trump

The Washington Post has lost all credibility! Do you even have real journalists anymore? Journalists that look for the truth after analyzing both sides.

That’s impossible.. it’s there to be read by anyone. You literally can’t. It’s public.....

Did any Democrat go read the unredacted report available at congress? No. Your rag is just a rag

Well, I can't wait until May 15th when Mueller to testify before Congress!

Oh from the WaPo? So it’s like spam now. Hit your delete button—

No Mr barr didn't corrupted the Mueller report he is doing his job legaly patienly professionally Mueller investigation was corrupt wrong from the first place democrats feer Barr

He disgusts me!

Barr treats the House like shit under his shoe. He knows the Dems threats are empty. Very sad 😞

Get a good look at that bulldog face right now as he will be in jail soon

for real ?

Please.... stop calling yourself a news agency. You are a campaign media office for the democratic party. EnemyOfThePeople

Barr PUBLISHED the Mueller report for the whole world to read.

How? Trump used zero exectuive privilege. Bar released it with 90%+ open to read. LiberalismIsAMentalDisease FakeNews journalismisdead stupidisasstupiddoes

He should be held accountable without delay.

Your theatrics make you guys look scared. Is it because you’re trying to get ahead of the upcoming IG report?

William Barr has effectively communicated to Trump that it's okay to move his government towards DICTATORSHIP. Barr is no longer the U.S. Attorney General, he is the DICTATOR'S lawyer.

How do you make accusations without presenting facts.

Any surprises? Barr represents Trump's corrupt administration. They all work for him, not the american people interests.

Fact: The Mueller report is available to everyone! I suggest the Washington compost take a minute and read it instead of shamelessly lying about the AG.

1celticwomyn Who cares? Dems will clutch their pearls and tweet about “rule of law” and “standards and practices” but they won’t actually DO anything. And that is why Republicans are WINNERS. They know how to get on the same page and attack with no quarter given. DEMS HAVE ZERO FIGHT.

Lies lies and more lies the Democrats are in for a shock when Barr starts investigating who started the fake Russian hoax and who paid for the dossier. That is why they want Barr to go.

Alternate headline: Liberals pounce on unflattering details of Mueller report - which found no criminal wrongdoing.

WASHINGTON COMPOST has shamelessly lied again and always MIS REPRESENTS EVERYTHING!!!

iCorrect Opinion: The Washington Post has shamelessly corrupted journalism.

Nonsense. MSM is simply trying to discredit a report because it didn't support their 2 years of lying.

antonni_james Still haven’t cured your TDS I see

Corrupted the report or the debate? First they came for Mueller!

This headline seems a little biased.... Shouldn’t readers determine whether or not AG Barr shamelessly corrupted Mueller’s report Typical for the (DAAMG) Democrat Agenda Advocacy Media Group

Sorry WPo you did not get your pound of flesh 😄

Lol, opinion of Pravda..who cares

This is why it is an opinion, does not make it right

The compost would know the truth if laid in their lap

You’re actions are pitiful. Your media is a major contributor to dissent in the US as well as CNN. You express your hype and not facts. It’s shameful

The Washington post needs help reading English. Stop misleading. We are not stupid and we can read and make our own conclusions.

Which was the whole point. Classy move

WaPo has shamelessly corrupted journalism.

Give me a break. He released basically the whole report which he didn’t even have to do under the law. Ya all can read it yourself. Stop manipulating the people.

Barr needs to be disbarred!

By releasing it for all to see?🤷‍♂️😂

Barr is such a baby! Disrespectful to our congress. You didn’t see Hilary do that, RESPECT OUR GOVERNMENT! How dare you refuse to testify today!

Opinion: The WaPo has shamelessly misreported on the Russian collusion delusion.

How?

There is nothing to corrupt. The investigation was a fraud promoted by useful idiots like yourself at the Post. Boomerang affect is in play now. Pretty soon you will have get approval from Nick Sandman - new owner - prior to publishing pulp!

Quit distracting pepple while the nation is under attack. Report on the deep state seige. This is worse than venezuela. People dont have a clue unless theyre involved or its too late amd theyre clone swapped. My.clone is driving 2019 range rover? Santa Clara?

Mueller spent 2 years and millions trying to get Trump and failed. Now you guys want to blame it on Barr. Please, can we move along. We have an election to get ready for.

You guys really like to mislead and that was EXACTLY Muellers letter said. It said the media is misrepresenting the report, not Barr. Now, I’d try and deflect too when called out for such a terrible thing.

There's a reason Bernie2020 Warren2020 don't uses super PACs .. REASON u don't run a campaign 4 the people, BUT w/rich donors. Those donors'll expect Biden2020 2 represent their interests RICH 1% GET access.. NOT WORKING 4 PEOPLE … … … Morning_Joe

Dear Trump POTUS, the UK did NOT spy on you They were surveilling Russian operatives.. YOUR campaign surrogates showed up. Again .. again .. again .. again .. again .. again MuellerLetter SenKamalaHarris RepAdamSchiff WillieGeist Morning_Joe

Too bad he didn’t release the report so people could read it themselves.

He abdicated the position of AG, and became Trump’s mouthpiece. And now he continues the coverup.

Resign-Trump's fixer

Reall Wp

Dexit

Really

fakenews. AG Barr further exposed the idiocy of the DemoKKKrats who can’t seem to get over an election that happened in 2016.

What a load of BS! You spin masters should be ashamed!

Fake news..... Scumacratics exposed

No shit. Tell us something not completely obvious. Merely obvious will do fine.

Sure he has.... Don’t like it? Too bad... The Obama Error did the same thing. I’m loving this...watching the Hypocrisy.

mockingbirdmedia EnemyOfThePeople WakeUpAmerica

How can Barr corrupt a report that’s freakin public? How about this opinion: The result of the Mueller Report didn’t come to the conclusion you liberals wanted, so your all panicked. No worries, Barr’s investigation into the FBI will give you plenty of things to cover up😉

С долгожданным успехов Америка...

True and has given the finger to the American people

that was his job realDonaldTrump TheJusticeDept

Did you read it? How can someone corrupt something that’s public? Go read it and decide.

Barr is a stooge for Trump and nothing more , that’s why he was picked

Then why is Mueller not speaking? Have they zipped his mouth?🧐

Lol. The dems lose control of the narrative and they can’t handle it. You have been lying and spinning these events since day 1. Shameful.

No longer a respected paper.

I see you got the talking points memo.

Trump deranged syndrome again at the post with this one

But Mueller himself said what he wrote was fine and you actually reported that quote when you hid it in a ridiculous opinion piece.

Barr trump and the rep mob are dismantling democracy. Can Americans stop this!!

B.S. BTW dont forget to take your medication.

More like “the Washington Post has shamelessly corrupted journalism.”

No he didn’t. And also ask yourself this, what would Obama’s AG’s Holden and Lynch have done if this were a report regarding Obama? Remember Lynch meeting with Bill Clinton on a taxied plane while Hillary was under investigation. “All they discussed were grandkids.”

The USA is a 3rd World dictatorship.

He is the president boy

Because the report didn’t say what you wanted it to OR because he released all but less than 5% of the report to the public? Shame on you Barr for doing your job and doing it well. Sheesh

The Mueller report was clear on the supposedly primary reason for the investigation collusion with the Russians. No collusion. The findings on obstruction are not so clear simply because Trump actually didn’t take action he just shot off his mouth. Mueller didn’t take a stand.

AGREE

Nobody cares

More BS from WP.

Everyone relax Barr is as impeachable as trump in article two also covers hims,and no presidential privilege hes job is done put his baby down trump will find some else, as far as trump and DOJ Muller probe is over ,NOW CONGRESS may say otherwise, but DOJ CASE. CLOSE ,PROBE OVER

Fact: lied to the American people for years. NoCollusionNoObstruction

Another home run of an opinion by fake news WashingtonCompost

Barr facilitated shunting the Mueller report to a side track for a month to redirect the discussion to Trump's preferred field: tribal/team/identity politics. And the Congressional GOP, as it has to date, enthusiastically collaborated.

🤣🤣

Barr believes the American people are stupid.

WP is such an anti American news rag.

He has? This is from your own paper...

He released the entire report. He’s the picture of transparency.

Fact: No he has not.

What an embarrassingly disgusting way to end his career. Seems a lot of these God-fearing upstanding people have little regard for their final judgement.

What was your organization's role in framing the President?......

How about the corruption of fake news. Hahahahahaha

You can trust the Washington post 👌

Sold his soul to the devil.

Good way to lose ratings!

Surprise surprise.. not

WaPo is just a political opposition tool-NOT JOURNALISM! Readers beware-you are just a venue to repeat their indoctrination for echo chamber fodder! In other words? They expect you to be Group Think dumbasses!

Washington Post corrupts all people

Attorney General Barr did not erase Muellers words written the the Mueller report. You just don’t like what Mueller had to say after two long years of investigation POTUS RepJerryNadler RepSwalwell RepAdamSchiff SpeakerPelosi LeaderHoyer LindseyGrahamSC TheJusticeDept

What did you expect? Power and money ! He almost looks embarrassed when he tries to defend trump.

Ha ha ha

This has gotta translate into obstruction!

Agreed

Says the biggest liars in history.

Can’t imagine watergate journalists worked for WP before. No longer the same WP.

That middle finger is for you, Go fornicate solo Bezo.

Body language experts will tell you this is a sign of shame

Coming from the Washington Post... right🤧

Resign Barr. You are not for the people of America.

He looks like a crook. All it takes is someone smart to study his body language, and there's plenty of it

BS

He told Mueller to read the draft principal conclusions, Mueller DECLINEDterwards complained about those conclusions. Mueller DECLINED to conclude on Obstruction, Barr did; because it is the purpose of convening Grand Juries. Who is politicizing the process

Did he have a choice, it was do or die or be thrown out

Ahhhh...no! 👆 Let's talk about the Steele DOSSIER and FISA conducted under Obama then we can talk about real corruption!

Resigned you liar

False. Fake news.

Demand that Barr release the Mueller Report. Wait, what? He already did?

Of course Barr corrupted the Mueller report. That's what the colluder in chief hired him to do.

disintegrated credibility‼️chuck him‼️he won’t recuse, f this guy, not independent from the potus

William Barr his ungodly evil shall fall on him and his children, children's: It takes a life time to build honor and goodness, and one act in manhood to destroy a man and to mark his family by his actions. William Barr has indeed joined Trump in becoming a public liar.

Hey, dick pics Bezos and your tools at the Washington Post... point to the page and sentence in the Mueller report that supersedes the line that states 'no evidence of collusion or obstruction found'. We'll wait. (Supercede: to set aside or cause to be set aside as void)

PostOpinions Bahahahaha! Do you plan on covering the next investigation about that which SHOULD have been completed 3 years ago, Hillary's emails? It's this type of garbage' reporting' that keeps me from subscribing to your media. Wake up.

Nope! WAPOOP is desperate! Congress/DOJ/FBI leaked classified information to WAPOOP. WAPOOP and democrat politicians lied for 2+ yrs to America. Just like Hillary will win the Presidency. How does it feel democrats to be lied to by this dishonest leftist media machine?

LIES...The report is there for all to see yet you still post lies about it. Amazing

And your opinion is wrong. That is all...

That was the point of appointing him

Translation. We are really disappointed Mueller didn’t find anything. Now we are going to pretend he did but Barr is hiding it. How stupid do you think people are?

Great Job Attorney General Barr the Democrats are corruption party like media

None of the tweets below READ THE ARTICLE. If they HAD, they would've seen that EVEN the WaPo said that SpecialCounsel EMPHASIZED that NOTHING in Barr's 4 page letter was INACCURATE or MISLEADING. He expressed frustration over lack of context and resulting MEDIA! FakeNews

I am so impressed with William Barr...He is obviously a man of honor...I am not sure what planet WAPO is from

He should be impeached! Along with his boyfriend!

Is he giving them the finger?

BarrLied BarrCoverUpNo2 BarrBehindBars

Wut?

Oh please, this is DNCWarRoom grasping at straws. Your all washed up Democrats take you marbles and go home!

Breaking news: we really did need a Mueller report to point out trumps very bad behavior. Not fit for the office just by his public exposure.

The question TheDemocrats want us to ask is President Trump worth it? My answer Democracy is... impeachment nothing more than a fall safe for the opposition to use to nullify a democratically elected president.

What a lot of twaddle, rubbish! This come from the BBC? Oh yes! I forgot!

That’s your opinion

So what reporters from wapo are getting perp walked first? Go ahead and come clean. Your toast.

By releasing it?

Washington post is part of the deep state coup attempt and its flailing because the attempt failed.

I hope Americans are learning something from this? I hope Americans know and see how it feels having corrupt men and women in power. This is how people in Cuba, Venezuela , Nigeria, Kenya, Cameroun, Togo, Ghana, Syria, and etc feels when they fight for good government. America is

THAT IS A FILTHY LIE!!!!!!! Barr explained that it was the over zealous media that blew that out of proportion. Barr explained in the hearing he called Mueller and Muller had no objections. It was also Mueller that said the pitiful media puked it up over themselves.

What did you all expect 🤮🤮🤮👍🏻

Negative. you’re just mad because you spent two years on a fake story. FakeNews

No underlying crime. What a waste of time and money. Let's add 2 years to the Trump presidency to be fair.....

You are shamelessly VeryFakeNews

The Muller Report was corrupted from day one and MSM are complicit They thought she would never lose Now they all lose Q+

'We haven't waived executive privilege,' Barr says. 'WE' - how is this not a clear admission as to who his client is? It's NOT the USA, it's TRUMP. Now that his OrangeLips are out in the open, LowBarr is ashamed to appear in the House. Sad. BarrMustResign BarrHearing

He will forever be known as Trumps brown noser.

Barr has? Or you, and the leftist Democrats have? I know the answer. Unfortunately, you think you do, but do not. 🤷🏼‍♂️

The inform has been released to the public. Anyone can read it and form their onw opinions. Barr is not preventing it.

What corruption? Its released? This is character assassination. Shame on WP

Can I suggest, hint, infer Barr resign.

And you have shamelessly corrupted journalism

And where is the WP's ADMISSION that it was willfully DISSEMINATING the UNFOUNDED GOP Conclusions about the Mueller Report? (cricket, cricket)

Your opinion is wrong. Besides, how can the report be corrupted when the whole thing was released for all to see. Washington Post is as dumb as a post.

mueller is a coward who abdicated his responsibility as a special prosecutor by refusing to either prosecuting or not... that was his job.

He released the report. You are ridiculous.

😂 The left is so desperate!

Opinion has shamelessly corrupted the media

Any servant would do masters bidding or be prepared to be thrown out, he does not want to be out

WP full of shit. Thank God we have an honest AG AT LAST! WP liars!!!!

I bet Barr has always wished he was on the A Team. Keep dreaming....😂

Gee weez....the 'bulldog is ugly (in more ways than one) and it is not for trying extremely hard. Bravo! You are really one really smart dummy. Wait until Senor Trumpo gets through with you😭😭😿😿

By releasing a summary? The full report is public... are you insane?

Washington Compost

We knew that he would! The ONLY truth is in a copy directly from Mueller.

2 year investigation on Barr now?

Opinion =WP = 💩

No he hasn’t! Quit being a liberal propaganda machine! Fake News! You earned it!

Yawn.

All those US Attorneys must be so proud. They sure as hell are silent eh? Stand up in protest!

He is successfully making himself that big shiny object to distract us from the REAL issues.

It’s a report. It reported.

This is so stupid. It does not matter what Barr put in a 4 page summary. The entire report is available to anyone that wants to read it(minus the legally mandated redacted portions) much ado about nothing

Your newspaper is a joke! realDonaldTrump will be re-elected in a landslide.

And did we think otherwise when donny hand picked Fred Flintstone

That middle finger is telling Barr he's f___ed

Washington Post is corrupt, biased and totally anti trump. You are the broadcast wing of the democrats. Nothing more. Nothing less

Is Barr really a lawyer? If so he doesn’t appear to be a good one. That is the kind Trump likes.

They wanted 19 pages TODAY, and they are angry because they got 450 pages a week later. OUTRAGEOUS!

Suppose 2 sides 2 a story, a great news story has what elements? Factual above the rest!

EthanBearman Seriously ImpeachBarr ImpeachtRump These two ☝ 👆 need to go and we can get down to the business of Making America Decent Again. I have never been as embarrassed for our country as I am now. MADA

No he hasn’t

Your reporting is shameless, leftist publication I will never read!

Your newspaper has been corrupted

No, he hasn’t. truth

The Washington Post continues to spread fake news !

Never, in my life, have I seen our 1st Amendment press mislead the public to keep a meme going for a political party. It's a disgusting display of partisanship designed to keep this silent coup against the President going. History will not look on you kindly.

Only a moron would think he corrupted the report. The report is available to read, ffs.

Yup.

The report is available for everyone to read right now... wtf are you talking about

Opinion: Well no it's actually truth.... you are...

Lmao

Mueller and team performed a mammoth task assembling the facts and painting an accurate unbiased picture of Russian interference in the 2016 election, and yes, it is infuriating to have someone come along and deliberately sabotage it. Barr is as big an obstructionist as Trump.

Blah...blah... blah

More ridiculous BS brought to you by that rag in DC

Not hardly!

Barr closed the book on a two year ordeal. It’s over. No collusion,no obstruction.

Impeach Robert Barr!

Opinion: LEFTISTS conspire AGAIN to discredit another honest man! Remember Kavanaugh? This is all about HIDING their treasonous phony dossier tracks! This is disgusting!

That is why Trump nominated him!!!!!!!!!

this is truly a significant undoing of the fabric of the constitution if this momentum cannot be stopped it will change the normal operations of the USA that will be felt by all who does not has favor in the halls of government especially now that the courts now GOP SELECTED.

ImpeachBarr ImpeachTrump

The WaPo is shamelessly corrupted. Barr is going to expose it all. Enjoy the show!

Shame on Trumped $$$ Republicans

Says Fake News.

Read the WSJ opinion piece, that’s a real paper.

🤥🤥🤥

The TDS crowd is here crying bigly

The fear isn't that AG Barr broke or will break the law, it's that he's known as someone who will follow the law wherever it leads him. Clearly that reality is quite scary to some. No amount of sophistry will alter that. It will come out on Barr's timetable not DNC or Congresses.

Throwing away his life , his reputation what a shame, sorry for you Mr Barr, and look at who you’re doing it for darn shame justsaying

Wrong

He looks ill like the rest of Trumps liars... Like the devil is in the shadows, and if they don’t lie for Trump, the demons will snatch their souls. They know it too! 👿☠️ demonicforcesfortrump

Barr did that, really Not the Dems or WP or CNN or other other leftist sore loser whining nut job? Hmm, you turn on Mueller, now he’s coming out of the woodwork trying to spin this in way so he doesn’t look so bad. But that would be the truth and MSM has forgotten the truth

his job---why yell-now-

Re-elect my DF Fake Prez in 2020 (if not impeached by then)

Did Obama order the 'Code Red' on the Trump/Pence Presidential campaign?

Keep crying we love it ROFLMAO

You Washington post are shameful!!

What does Trump have on Barr?

Oh, shut up! FakeNews

He has corrupted the entire DOJ and forever the office of AG.

Opinion by Washington post means , ZERO

LOL

That doesn’t even make sense.

We are closer to a Banana Republic every day. But we that believe in the constitution will continue to fight for the next generation.

Do you even believe what you write? At this point, I truly think you're just trolling Trump. TrumpDerangementSyndrome

What’s the difference between William Barr and Michael Cohen? There’s no difference, they both sold their soul to work for the criminal in chief.

Wp its not corrupted. Truth always prevails.

The look, the expression, the middle finger...

Barr needs to resign. He’s not worthy of his office. He cares about Bill Barr. Period

People should just read it themselves and make up their own mind.

The report is out there for us to read. We do not need your 'translation,' banana media🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌 Suck it up. NoCollusionNoObstruction

This Is America 🤦‍♂️

AG Barr must recuse himself from all ongoing investigations from the Muller report/investigation.

What did you expect?

Whose opinion? The Russian Collusion hoaxers?

By releasing it?

Barr didn’t even read all the evidence but said yeah my summary says POTUS is good. Mueller knew it was Trump protecting BS and had to contact Barr in writing to say excuse me - that’s not what we found, that’s not what we said! BarrShouldResign

Think the Mueller report stands alone, Barr’s summary is his own interpretation, written for Trump.

hahahahahaha, gotta love the lying media

He needs to resign

Your Opinion pages are no better than the rest of your dismal, corrupt rag.

What a load of crap you feed the people...wow...your gonna join CNN in the ratings.

Groping in the dark?

TheLastWord Morning_Joe--Barr -the reason Mueller called you is because he knows you are a liar and that Trump is a liar based on talks with Flynn/McGahn/McCabe/Comey-if you wanted a 1-1 call then why did You put it on speaker phone-

Says JeffBezos anus . Real EnemyOfAmerica

How has Barr corrupted a report that has already been released and can openly/freely be read. It is almost 500pages & Mueller stated in the WP that nothing Barr stated was incorrect. BE BETTER

Barr is Hysterical with the fingers holding up his head 😂😂😂 What about all the stumbling coming out of his mouth 🤥🤥🤥🤥 Zero Reputation left for Barr 🤮🤮🤮🤮 Not appearing tomorrow won’t help ! Barr is “ LOST “ by his own Doing !

A once fine institution has now become an empty shell - go WaPo

The fact is no obstruction or collusion. Story gas lighting and lying to the American people.

The shameless & corrupt MSM and Dims are simply trying to undermine and obstruct the coup investigation because they are complicit. Mr. Barr is the guy American people were wishing Sessions would have been.

False

cherokeesher2 His complicity is nauseating!

Wrong

mymackie Does anybody still read the Jeff Bezoz Washington Post?

Hahaaaaa You're losing WP Trump is winning And I'm LMAO

Opinion if Mueller had any tiny little thing on President Trump that he could have prosecuted for, he would have in other words there is nothing and never was! Mueller's report is out there for everybody to read, full transparency, Too bad the D's never read it! BarrHearing

Mueller knew that there was No Trump / Russia within the first 30days! Rather than honorably reporting this to the public....he spent 600 plus days trying to provoke and entrap the POTUS into obstruction over a crime which Never happened! Sedition Bastard

karenaboylan That's what the CoverUp General was hired to do. Just like Mcturtle McConnell refused to put out the Joint Statement to the American People, Warning us of Russia's Interference. All of this was by Design from Enemies, Foreign and Domestic. 118/16 was a Successful Attack.

The democrats just cannot stand the fact that Trump did not break the law and as Barr has said his job with regard to the Mueller investigation is over and the President was falsely accused of wrong doing. Secondly he wants the politicalization of the DOJ to end!! Ed

TheJusticeDept

BARR is now known as the Trump's Handmaiden aka Trump's bitch .. can't argue with the truth ..

Corrupted a report, That is available to he world, that confirms Barr’s “summary”. How dumb are you people.

I'm smelling something very stinky about BillBarr. He's dumped his entire career down the toilet trying to save a very crooked, corrupt, and sleazy FRAUD (Donald J. Trump). Why? Is Barr yet another Russian operative working under the direction of VladimirPutin

Nothing any sane minded Atty. Gen could do that would satisfy the Satanic Socialist Democrats when it comes to the Mueller report. The crazy Democrats don't like Mueller anymore. Patriots, we're in a battle for the soul of America. If you're silent now, after this, shame on you!

'THE TRUTH SOUNDS LIKE HATE TO THOSE THAT HATE THE TRUTH' - RickyRayinGA

America has never been so corrupt as it is now!

cherokeesher2 Yup, he did.

This is like a third world. 🤮

Fact: The Washington Post shamelessly corrupted journalism.

Not really.

digging their credibility hole deeper one tweet at a time.

🤣, it’s the Dems who corrupted with this baseless investigation.

That was the intent to muddy the waters

Whiny libs still hysterical over losing in 2016. Libs were entitled to win the White House in 2016. Just ask one.

You're pandering to the folks that haven't read it right?

And you are EnemyOfThePeople DemocRATS and their corrupt media.

Bullshit !

Pssh. That's an understatement.

William Barr has less integrity than Jeff Sessions.

They don’t call it the Washington Compost for no reason

And I think Mueller knew a long tome ago about the collusion or lack thereof so he went looking for a crime. Horrendous. And they will pay.

lying again

The Democrats are frauds not one of them has gone an looked at the unredacted report

False . . You’re somewhat mixed up Pal. The Washington Post has corrupted the media reporting industry . . You clearly a democrat activist organization not journalists. Not journalists Democrat activists. Evil Corrupt Disgusting Anti American The enemy of the people

Did this guy get his law degree from trump university? Sure seems like it.

This is just more sad and disgraceful Washington. I never thought I would lose faith in the American government but it’s so disheartening.

EJDionne what shameless drivel. For anyone with 1/2 a brain or 1/2 an ounce of credulity, 👇

No, see it's a puplic report and you can view it with your own two eyes.

He corrupted a report that everybody can read for themselves right? God you guys are so pathetic.

Nobody believes WAPO anymore. You are merely the propaganda wing of the DNC

No he hast. He merely exposed the crooked crooked Dems. Disgraceful performance by Dem senators.

Barr auditioned for the AG job with his memo criticizing the Mueller investigation. Now it looks like he’s auditioning for the job as the next conservative judge on the Supreme Court. Someone go check on Ruth Bader Ginsburg and make sure she’s ok.

Its almost as of that was the obvious plan but in this twilight zone of America we completely abandonded the principle that what ever happens.. we dont take kindly to kings or wanna be dictators running our democracy. Its a shame that so many are blind to it.

The Mueller report is a sham! He should have issued inditements against the president or concluded in no uncertian terms that there was nothing there that was . He was spineless in his decision!

BS. And you don’t give a damn about what is revealed ? True journalist would be all over the FISA, DNC and CLINTON. 🙄 scared of committing suicide by stabbing yourself in the back?

Yeah right, may be muller is

He literally publicized the report so that everyone could read it themselves. What more do you want?

Barr’s just confirmed that what Tr🍄mp stated is true! Tr🍄mps F***ed!

No he hasn't

😂

How did he corrupt it when it’s there for public to see? Statement/legal fact/conclusion followed by 4 pg. summary followed by 8% redacted report to Congress based on law, followed by 2% redacted report in a skiff as requested. Literally time to take Hate goggles off!

So sad. Sorry the no collusion no obstruction and full transparency just doesn’t work for your Gossip Tabloid.

Dems r so disgraceful it’s sad😠and funny😆Mueller and Barr need to be triple investigated and the investigation needs an investigation if the dems don’t agree with the outcome

Opinion: WaPost is a rag.

Your “opinion” is shameless hackery. There is no underlying crime.

No, he didn't. We can read. No collusion. U have lied to us for 2 years.

Well, the conservatives praise him & the Post beats him down. Who to believe?

As usual, nonsense from WAPO.

Your Tweets are almost getting too ridiculous to respond to! But I have to hang on because I want to see how you cover this story.😂😂

TRAITOR!

How? Bottom line, Mueller investigated 2 years and couldn’t prosecute Trump or his campaign. No collusion. No obstruction.

Because that’s what happened

The Post isn't very happy these days- Exposed as a liberal rag with corruption at the top!

And we have a democratic Senate & House who do a lot of complaining, give a lot of warnings but basically don't follow through & do anything. Their constituents r losing patience with them...

so funny after two full years of nonstop Russian collusion and now you don't like the results of the report.

Fake news, you can still read it 🙄

He'd have to have morals before he could have shame

No collusion, No obstruction.

There isn't any information that Mueller's Report has been corrupted. Barr, looks that way, and the People's House of Representatives should examine and expose the corruption if the Senate will not. The people's voice will ultimately be heard next year.

😂

adriana7077 Smug and Trumpish. I see Barr's Jr. High hand gestures come in to play when he defiantly LIES and Americans watch and KNOW that BarrIsALiar BarrLies BarrTheLiar BarrResign BarrMustGo

You shamelessly corrupted the SACRED TRUST we gave you WaPo.. You sense it closing in on you and are left nothing but absurd headlines and failed attempts a misdirection.. Some in your ranks are in very serious trouble.. Those who are the loudest have the most to hide..

Priceless. Mueller’s Andrew Weissman (Hillary diehard supporter) leaked the letter to you for the sole purpose to attack Barr. You pick and spin the facts in the letter. And you’re telling us there’s “shameless corruption”? Again, Priceless.

Wapo is still struggling with the reality that the Mueller Report is over, and that the Bozo field of Democrats is nothing but an embarrassment to report each day. America likes their eggs scrambled, but even better on Wapo's face.

Do you ever write the truth? Not often I think.

Disgusting - Barr must be held to account for this ridiculous coverup/aiding in obstruction of justice. Barr must resign. He knowingly lied to Congress, among other sleazy obstructive tactics. Barr wanted into the history books, he’ll be in the books alright. BarrResignNow

Shame you can't read the whole report for yourself by now and this isn't a moot point at all. 🙄

William Barr will have a spotlight in history books...... and his grandkids will read them. What. A. Legacy.

Meanwhile...Beautiful Nellie awaits her big moment. Keep your eye on the ball WaPo sluggers!

The fish always rots from the head down!

Is probably that Trum is innocent, the unique truth is that Russia played an is playing with the USA, and the scare of this country is evident, i never think something like this that all the world see it

You guys have shamelessly corrupted this entire fiasco from the day you found out your preferred candidate lost.

Says the press who shamelessly corrupted the mueller report

And the entire Justice Department

DC cried we want the full non-redacted Mueller Report. It is available and not a single DEM has read it.

I was starting to think that the work of the MUELLER team was becoming a scape goat for Barr. It is gutter politics at it's best.

WilliamBarr has shamelessly corrupted the office of the UnitedStatesAttorneyGeneral

Yes ! Barr is shameless and he proved it today.

No he hasn't.

You people are pathetic. For two years you've hammered collusion into people's heads, there was nothing. Now it's obstruction. Obstruction of what? A crime that didn't happen?

BS - The Washington Pust needs to commit seppuku. Wait a minute, they did that long ago.

He is a large man with maybe a teaspoon of integrity, if that.

It’s all about perception. That four page letter/summary post-Mueller report did the trick. Mission accomplished. Beyond that no matter whatever Trump’s opponents say or do is fluff. Barr is Trump’s greatest savior.

Um. You know you can read the report for yourself, right? How can Barr corrupt what you can read for yourself?

how anybody read it

Please explain how he corrupted something he had nothing to do with.... mueller wrote it. It was Mueller’s responsibility to prosecute or to recommend prosecution; he did neither. It’s over. The only other outcome is impeachment....and the Democrats know it’s not impeachable....

SHAME

What.... by making it public?

Barr has disgraced himself and TRUMP with this blatant attack on the rule of law. ImpeachBarr . ImpeachTrump

The truth will emerge.

Surely the Mueller Report speaks for itself. No Collusion Leftists.

U must not have been listening to same Barr I have. A man of principle. Follows the law regardless of politics

The Mueller report is out there for all to see. Opinion: Fake News

Mueller corrupted the Democrat attempt to overthrow Trump when he found no Russia collusion, so Barr must be impeached.

Does this have anything to do with the media and Democrats losing a quarter of their base after the Mueller Report came out?

disBarr ImpeachBarr

No he hasn't...

... how? You read the report. No collusion, not enough evidence of obstruction... can’t you just admit that you hate trump and you’re willing to see him gone no matter what? Even if that means compromising the whole system to see him gone.

Barr should be disBARRed

Exactly! Hey dopes , it's released, why don't you read it!

That’s because the President’s defense attorney is running TheJusticeDept 🤷🏻‍♀️

Seriously ridiculous... he summarized the conclusion, then released the report when actually he didn’t have to . You all are overreacting again and it shows

Really? Or were you deeply disappointed with the report itself and you’re looking for someone to blame besides Saint Mueller?

He has no shame!! Barr lowered the bar!

MuellerLetter BarrHearing BarrLied ImpeachBarr

meh. blame the media for reporting what Barr said as gospel when you knew he was corrupt to begin with. You all stated a thing without any fact and now you want to save face. The press did this, Barr has always been Barr.

We can all read it for ourselves. It's publically available. It's impossible to corrupt it cause it stands on it's own.

i’m sick of this dishonesty it’s unbelievable

Waaaahahahahahaaa!!!

What did Barr get wrong? Can you explain?

Barr has shamelessly dishonored TheJusticeDept

We need to pay attention to what Barr is doing. Remember he now is in control of all the Russia-Trump investigations. This is yet another cover-up. Barr showed his true colors with Iran Contra. He can not be trusted. Can't we impeachBarr Her along with Mueller need to drink prune juice because she looks highly constipated as well! Not to mention dehydrated!

Pointed but not substantive criticism. The hearing demonstrated that most democrat senators and a few republicans are dumber than doorposts.
