President Trump tells reporters that AG Barr is the one who should decide if Special Counsel Mueller should testify before Congress.

that Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee have already made preparations to get Mueller to testify and that they were looking at May 15 as a possible date.the committee was negotiating the possible testimony directly with Mueller's team, but that nothing had been finalized. Previously, the committee had been in discussions over Mueller's testimony with the Department of Justice.

Earlier Friday, before Trump's remarks, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., sent a letter to Mueller offering him the opportunity to testify before the Senate panel about"any misrepresentation by the Attorney General of the substance" of a phone call between the attorney general and the special counsel about about Barr's four-page summary of the Mueller report and the resulting press coverage.

On Friday, Trump was also asked if he would prevent former White House counsel Don McGahn from testifying before CongressMueller's nearly 450-page report detailed how Trump in which the president"directed" him to contact Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein to have Mueller"removed" — a key part of the special counsel's investigation into whether Trump obstructed justice.

That's not how it works Don.....

maggieNYT Well of course...

Liar!!!!

Barr is Trump's go to guy.

maggieNYT Yeah right. You have to take his answer, and flip it around. He's a master liar.

'Trump tells reporters that AG Barr is the one who should decide if Special Counsel Mueller should testify before Congress' ELECTION USA US EEUU RUSSIA RUSIA PUTIN GOP MAGA NADLER CONSPIRACY AGAINST THE UNITED STATES OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE

What's the problem? Trump has gone on and on about being cleared of collusion and obstruction by the report? Why is he obstructing ?

And he can do so from a tiny cell in the DC Detention Facility.

NAH I DON'T THINK SO! IMPEACH WILLIAM BARR CONTEMPT OF CONGRESS LOCK BARR UP NO MORE CHANCES LOCK BARR UP DisBarr WILLIAM BARR Indict William Barr

Wouldn’t that be convenient ?

maggieNYT Won't stand in the way because I don't think he can exercise Executive Privilege

😂😂😂😂

That’s NOT How It Works realDonaldTrump

There’s no doubt Mueller should appear before Congress! We must clear up the discrepancies!!!

Lol. That's a total joke.

Traitor In Chief

Dictatorship

Silent majority will ensure we make America Great Again by firing Trump. Never again will we have a ding bat for president.

Trump is finnished. He will never be reelected. He proved to the nation that he isn't competetent to lead dead fish let alone this great nation.

Yeah that’s not true .

No it's up to the DOJ

no Congress decides who will testify before them in the court enforces it Trump has some learning to do and it won't be pretty

Wow How did we end up with this POS that knows nothing about the law and the constitution. POTUS OH I KNOW. He's supported by POSs that know nothing about the law or the constitution.

Nope, congress should decide.

Who cares. How about let's talk about the genocide that's happening RIGHT NOW in America (vaccines, chemtrailing, fluoride, gmos) let's talk about what's killing our children and NO ONE, right left BS paradigm, is doing shit about it. We are waking up, and your news is BS.

Of course our Criminal in Chief thinks that WhiteTrashHitlerBaby

Courtesy of White people our criminal president now has his consigliere. We can never laugh at other countries for electing crooks. AmericaIsAShitholeCountry

BiteMeBud Um, no. Just no.

Pay no attention to our Constitution - the document which holds us together as the world's most successful democracy-- ignore 200 years of supporting 3 equal branches of government to provide checks & balances on power. Throw the rule of law out the window & replace with tyranny.

Serious questions: Is Mueller a private citizen? If so, would the AG have ANY authority over whether or not Mueller can testify?

If a local police commissioner were accused of a crime, could a subordinate patrol officer arrest that commissioner? Any answer other than “absolutely” infers there are special people outside the jurisdiction of the law.

Congress should decide if Mueller testifies, not Barr and not Trump.

NBC Give the American people the facts, AG Barr is corrupt, Trump has weaponized the DOJ and talks as if he owns the Supreme Court. The Rep party refuses to do anything but spew conspiracy theories to cover for the President. America needs the Free Press to step up

Here we go again;Trump have nothing against Mr. Mueller testifying in Congress but A.G. will decide. Trump was eager to meet with Mr. Mueller but decision was for his attorneys, and the beat goes no! Are we all so stupid to fall for this? I guess co.

LIAR

Neither realDonaldTrump nor his complicit, corrupt Attorney General have any say about Mueller. The American people paid for Mueller’s work product, we choose to hear the truth from our Congress and Robert Mueller. Barr has a serious conflict and is part of a cover up.

He can’t.

Trump always says that but then one of his lackeys will step up to obstruct.

They’re so scared.

SophiaLipschul1 To RealDonaldTrump Can you Eve Keep Your Big Mouth Shut, U must have been a Brat whe n u r Little, lr screamed at everyone, SO B Quiet For Once, Ha Mueller He is THE FBI Bugger

Yeah right.

I can't wait for Mueller to be in front of Meadows, Jordan, Cruz, Nunes and Lindsey Graham. Remember when Hillary said that if President Trump wins they will hang? What they did was treasonous.

They better get him in there fast before Barr blocks it, and he WILL try. Our country has literally gone to hell in two years. A good economy means nothing in this environment

We stand with President Trump.❤️🇺🇸

Yeah yeah yeah, a liar always,

The President is absolutely correct as usual.

What a joke

No Congress should decide

SocialPowerOne1 Barr Does Not Make the Rules for Congress, Take Your Lackey and Shove Him Up You Know What !

Has he ever even read the Constitution?

Hahahaha.

Of course. All his lap dogs will decide what favors Trump. He acts like they're fair and impartial. For someone who says he's completely innocent of everything he spends an awful amount of time trying to block Congressional Oversight.

Trump, anybody can be bought, promises, and dealings under the table trying to get out of his situations. Trump has a rich following of supporters fighting to keep him from being prosecuted.

The American people want him to testify. Trump and Barr are obstructing RIGHT NOW when they are attempting to stop Mueller from testifying!!!

That's CONGRESS'S DECISION!!!

Blah. Blah. Blah.....liar liar

maggieNYT Baby hands can't compete without that 'homecourt' advantage. Ever.

Could someone point me to the provision in Article 2 where it says the Attorney General will decide on behalf of the executive branch when a person will be permitted to testify before Congress.

Yeah but the 1 percent of the rich are not going to be enough to push you over the top because you have lied to a lot of your own people and everything is way too expensive in America now cost of living is out of control

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Why are the DEMS wasting time and money on this!?!

This clown doesn't even know how to be a husband or Father, and he believes he knows how others should do their jobs ? GTFO here, doesn't he have some more time to waste on the links ?!

Wrong!

America should decide if Special Counsel Mueller should testify before Congress, not Trump or his partner AttorneyGeneral WilliamBarr

That’s the way, tell the lackey what you want done 😈

Just like he was willing to talk to him 100%?, or completley releasing Mueller's Report Flip.......

Idiotspeak.

How about Congress deciding if Mueller should testify before congress?

What?! Barr is the reason we want mueller to testify!

I don’t think he works for Barr the Trump Fixer. any more.

But he’s so transparent.

Ridiculous notion.

Nope - the legislative branch does decide who gets to testify - you know the ones who make the nations laws! - the AG is not above the branch....

He already did. His lips said yes, but his actions say no.

Get ready for a big fat horse size RED PILL, America

Ohh boy....... could you imagine ex that.....

😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹 YEAH RIGHT! How many lies does that make now?!😹😹😹

Just because unemployment is down doesn't mean Trump doesn't have to answer for his crimes. Hitler had a good economy, but it didnt erase his crimes.

Trump will try to stop Mueller from testifying at any cost. I fear for Mueller.

Ignore boycot his messages

Bull shit

maggieNYT Barr is Trump water boy. Let him do dirty work and then blame him.

He can’t.

maggieNYT

(Meanwhile, behind the scenes he intimidates Barr to no end to not allow Mueller to testify)

Like dementia Donny is going to remember he said that ten minutes from now...

maggieNYT He must be very confident Barr will do the right thing by him!

Wow he must be very sure about Barr. I hope he wil be surprised one day 😂

since barr lowered himself to front for trump, is it likely he will allow Mueller to testify?

maggieNYT What?!?

He already did

You really do not know how our American legal system works do you realDonaldTrump POTUS!

He still has absolutely no idea how this all works, does he? He still thinks he’s the Godfather.

maggieNYT So ignorant

Congress is Barr's kryptonite.

Done.

Not so much.

SocialPowerOne1 Guess he really has no idea how the branches of government work. Where is school house rock when he needs it.

Mueller is an Employee of Barr. So, that makes sense. It is always baffling how much Mainstream Media seems to have so little understanding in how the U.S. Government is structured and operates.

That would be Barr's job, and Barr already said Musller is free to testify. What do you think will change? We have Mueller's report, Mueller's notes, and Mueller's conclusion. Do you really think having Mueller testify will change that?

Dumber than a college dropout.

LOL.

Now let me get back to my peeps

Seems as if it’s up to Mueller. Trump should really try to learn how all of this works

No collusion.

trump (and Barr) lie again.

Right! Putin’s puppet ‘s puppet!

Um yah The AG doesn’t need to decide that Its not his decision to make... This Administration is making a mockery of our democracy and its not only embarrassing but its a damn disgrace

Which means he will testify before the Senate (Lindsey) not the House (Nader). See Barr subpoena.

PETER PAN TRUMP IN NEVERRRRR NEVVVVER LAND FOR 72 YEARSSSS

Don't worry about it --stupid - Barr is 'DEAD' meat and none of you have any save in your future = packing would be a really great - 'Idea'- bye bye !

yoshiandpeanut realDonaldTrump thinks he can forbid. 😂😂😂😂

The AG should not make anymore decisions related to the Trump situation.

He must have skipped Government class in school. Checks and balances and what each branch of the government does was all part of the lesson. Maybe an exam should be given about the subject before anyone is allowed to run for office.

TJSeraphim He lied again. He’ll change his mind again. He’ll sue to prevent it again.

I’m sure he has already told Barr what to do. He thinks we believe him. He’s not smart enough to know people are smarter than him.

Ah yes. More lies from president best brain exhibiting that he still can't grasp the concept of 'checks and balances '.

Yup. Makes sense since Mueller is Barr’s underling.

That trump for, 'I already told A.G. Barr what to say and do.'

HEADLINE: 'Crooked President Suggests That His Own Crooked Accomplice Should Decide If The Guy Who Knows the Truth Should Be Allowed to Tell It. '

What's Mueller going to say? He's life-long assoc of HillaryClinton, helped her sell our uranium to Russia; worked for RJRosenstein whose a Clinton Lawyer; best friend of Comey who let Clinton off in Whitewater. Who's fooling who here? nytimes dcexaminer TheJusticeDept

He can't

Mueller is not a government employee. Therefore, Congress decides when and where he will testify.

Barr already decided that, by saying Kamala Harris should question Mueller about whether his inquiry went into Trump's finances. On that basis, Mueller has been asked to appear before the House.

Uh, no.

That’s not how it works. You know that NBC. Stop repeating lies without caveats.

Of course you want “your boy” to make all decisions to protect your corrupt ass

Wrong

That’s what he says in public so as to appear neutral. Meanwhile, he is giving orders and doing everything possible to prevent the truth from becoming public.

If Mueller is not on the payroll and a private citizen, he is free to testify on his public report. I pray he does testify.

The Special Counsel is for investigators not the Judge and Jury by law a collection of materials given to the Attorney General. This happens in every State in the United States. Their job is ✅

TrumpTHEjoke. Its no use ComradeDonald YOUR DUNZO.

Only problem, Trump has his hand firmly up the backside of the corrupt attorney general

maggieNYT Translated: Trump orders Barr to not let Mueller testify.

actually he is a private citizen now and Barr has no say. Soooooo.... I think he may want to correct the record on Barr's testimony.

maggieNYT EXACTLY what Trump said about testifying himself before Mueller...because he knows it wont happen.

maggieNYT Trump: “ask my lawyer”

Barr perjured himself on national TV! He should be removed.

Is that what Putin said he should do?

That’s NOT HOW IT WORKS!!!!!

maggieNYT Oh. Lemme guess how this is gonna go. 🤔

I'm pretty sure the House of Representatives makes these calls.

Because Barr is there to do his dirty job.

Imagine trump trying to cover up an investigation into his crimes

burcham_don Too bad that congress is approaching mueller by themselves. An innocent man doesn’t do this.

Clueless clown

Sure.

Does Mr. Mueller work to gov’t any longer? chucktodd

Please send him to a basic civics class.

Last I checked, Mueller no longer works for Mr Barr.

Who signed the subpoena is who AG Answering to , clown 🤡 get no say . Better yet they both should resign as disgrace of this country

So lost

Well, since Mueller works for Barr it would make sense

In what reality?

until the day it happens then donnie and pugsley barr will be crying foul demanding that Mueller NOT testify

OMG. realDonaldTrump grow a spine. So if Mueller testifies you can have a hissy fit over it and blame Barr. Your the President. Pull on your big boy pants.

Just keep obstructing Fat Donny. 2020YoureFired

Good because Barr already told Congress he wouldn't stop that interview

So fire Mueller and he’ll definitely testify.

So much for co-equal, and checks an balances With Republican fealty the Executive now controls the Legislative

maggieNYT WTF....

No! Congress should decide!

Well, he knows what Barr will say.

I call BS.

MichaelCohen212 is going to jail for Trump crimes. Whatever you think of Cohen, you should think twice as bad of Trump. And trump sits in the WH? 🙄

🙄😂😂😂😂

I am so tried of hearing about Mueller and the report . Time for the Democrats to do something useful

and Barr said he didn't mind. SO GET ON WITH IT!!!!! SpeakerPelosi RepJerryNadler RepAdamSchiff

WilliamBarr is working as hard as he can to obstruct justice for Trump. BarrCoverUp BarrResign

maggieNYT In other words, trump will tell Barr to forbid Mueller from testifying since it is Barr’s decision.

I pray we see this man brought to justice.

Could we get a few billboards of this graphic where Trump golfs on the taxpayer dime and placemats at the White House when he’s serving fried chicken for athlete visits? Thanks in advance. - Sane America

Sickening be a man and allow it to happen ASAP

Wrong

maggieNYT tiny hands is, was, and always will be an idiot impeach him now send his lying sycophants with him housedems speakerpelosi kamalaharris tedlieu senwarren amyklobuchar senategop senatemajldr

Mueller is a private citizen so he couldn't have stopped him anyway.

Until he does.....

maggieNYT Mueller needs to ANSWER QUESTIONS -- from smart people who have followed the saga, not idiot journalists who parrot FusionGPS talking points ... And WEISSMANN. There's a lot of disinfo in that gossip column/report, besides the bitch move of dropping obstruction ball.

The decision is up to the AG. Where is the news here? What exactly are you trying to spin now? Remember this: No Russian collusion. You lied for two years.

The President is right on point!

maggieNYT Congress is not called a coequal branch by the constitution just for grins

News Flash- he has said several times already in Congress that he had no objections to Mueller testifying. Did FOX not report on it ?

Somehow I don’t see transparency here. I hear another lie

LOL, NOPE. This isn't how the government is run.

Trump knows more about diplomacy than the State Department and global defense than the Pentagon but he needs Barr to decide if Mueller can testify? Weak! If realDonaldTrump is innocent of conspiracy then he should demand the full report is released and insist Mueller testify.

Haha ha

Is co-equal branch of Gov't a difficult concept for Trump to grasp

Bullshit.

Wait. Isn’t this Putin’s call?

maggieNYT Someone REALLY needs to explain how our government works and the checks and balances our founding fathers put in place to prevent a dictator! Barr OBVIOUSLY agreed to protect Trump to get the job.

maggieNYT

This crook has gone way too far. What country is this again?

I think we can solve this once and for all by issuing a subpoena for just one testimony: Donald J Trump. Start that court battle now, please.

Why Should Mueller Testify? The Public has seen enough to move on to bigger and Better Fish to Fry- Like Obama with Tarter Sauce!

Barr is his boss

He thinks he can run the government like one of his businesses. Run it into the ground, that is.

maggieNYT Oh, Donald, sweetheart. That’s not how this works.

Mueller is an adult!!

No.

No! The morality and integrity of Mueller should decide if he testifies

The American people want Mueller to testify. We're not interested in what corrupt Barr has to say.

maggieNYT Nope! What are you afraid of realDonaldTrump ...the truth?

That's not how that works sorry

maggieNYT realDonaldTrump won’t stand in the way. He’ll just order the AG to do it for him.

Mueller is one who is afraid to testify, he will be exposed as corrupt. He ran an investigation on a President with a second hand bar room conversation started by Clinton supporters and FBI/CIA spies, yikes. 😜

Only bc the prick knows that the complicit one Barr will say NO. This is a joke. Mueller should come out on his own and tell the ppl the whole Truth and be done with it

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 so exonerated realDonaldTrump

🤣🤣😂🤣🤣

See how obstruction works? He can say he doesn’t care while basically telling Barr to say no.

And it should be explained in the same breath that such a thing is obstruction.

Because Barr has proven himself to be a Trump sycophant.

No way. Mueller no longer works for him.

You still do not get!!!!!!! You don’t control the House.....hopefully, in 2020, the Senate will be controlled by Democrats with a Democratic President ....your time will be up......can not wait!!!!!

How much of an idiot is Trump... let me count the ways. It’s called separation of powers (branches) for a reason. So, no 1 branch can influence another. Trump is an absolute embarrassment to Our way of life.

realDonaldTrump is a PsychologicalProjector, he is also one or more of the following; pieceofshit pathologicalliar gaslighter corrupt taxevader WorstPresidentEver racist Bigot

He’s is the personification of “dim bulb”!

That's not obstructing justice? 🤦

Mueller needs to be hauled in to answer many questions.

Barr is the boss.

Who are you to say if a citizen of this country can or cannot be able to testify in front of the congress

maggieNYT Maybe Putin should decide if Mueller testifies.

I think his boss should be the one.

TREASONIMPEACH STAT

It never ceases to amaze me how fundamentally ignorant he is on even the basics of how government works.

Agreed

maggieNYT How transparent.

I don't know what's worse the media spreading a false narrative or people who actually believed it was even possible, read the Charlottesville transcript and that will tell you everything about the mainstream media

maggieNYT Mueller is now a private citizen. He never worked for Trump and he no longer works for Barr. If Starr could flap his gums to any Tom, Dick, and Harry for the last 20+ years, Mueller can testify in front of whatever committee he feels compelled to.

Well, okay, I mean, he can’t, so I am glad to know he won’t try.

The case is over and now they will find out who started this nonsense

Trumps IQ 165.

We know who is calling the shots here. Everybody is wanting to keep their six figure jobs as long as they can. Don't want to upset the mob boss.

maggieNYT Which is code for “Stop him from testifying!”

tRUmp can feck right off. Most Americans are furious with this traitor. The others are in a cult.

maggieNYT Lol!! Let CONGRESS DECIDE!

Dictatorship much?

Trump is setting up Barr to take the fall for this mess. Also, Congress decides who will testify.

Idiot..Barr has no control over who testifies before congress ..

And he said it’s fine. Dems are really shooting themselves in the foot. Look like silly 1st graders

maggieNYT Barr has already said it is fine with him. Regardless, Mueller should be able to do whatever he wants. What are they going to do if they don't like it - fire him?

LIAR IN CHIEF 😂😂😂

10,001 lies?

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🖕🏽

No, just no, Donnie.

He’s a liar. Stop acting and reporting as if he can be taken at his word.

maggieNYT Lol

maggieNYT Surprise Surprise.

Dear GOD get rid of 'it' already!!!

maggieNYT In Trump's world, stupidity is king.

I so disagree!

maggieNYT Why doesn’t he just move to Russia

I thought the press decided what happens in our country!!

Two years in and he still doesn’t understand what our founding fathers fought and died for. Embarrassing.

Why haven’t the Dems done anything to Kline Barr or mnchin? Trumps taxes? All ignoring subpeonas. Dems have done zip. How weak.

maggieNYT 'The buck must always stop elsewhere.'

HAHAHAHAHAHA! And the coyote in the hen house should be in charge of hen care!

What's Barr going to do if Mueller does testify? What can he do?

maggieNYT I think Indont trust POTUS .

This isn't exactly surprising considering he has taken Putin's word over that of his own CIA. Why not ask the fox to guard the hen house! This shit is like a Robert Ludlum (Bourne Identity) movie!

He is so disturbingly out of his mind.....

“Well, who’s gonna stop me?”

maggieNYT Good...AG Barr already said Mueller could testify....make it so.

maggieNYT No, he expects his lap dog Barr to play the heavy.

maggieNYT now that Trump found his Roy Cohn, he's very happy

the same thing he said he will sit with muller.

If Barr does intervene I'd hope that Mueller would resign from DOJ

Wrong, wrong, wrong

Congress will decide who they will have testify until you become the Czarina

maggieNYT Keep calling your senators. We deserve to hear Mueller.

Haha haha nope If you don’t have anything wo worry about let him talk !!!

maggieNYT Master class in mobster-level plausible deniability. But he got the headline he wanted - “I didn’t stop Mueller from testifying.” C’mon, NBC News...do better.

Shouldn't a President comprehend how Congress and our branches of government work?

Putin's puppet continues to obstruct justice any way he can. He knows NOTHING about the government or how it works. He is a habitual liar & a crook. How did America get to this point where we have a low life clown as our leader....TuckFrump

maggieNYT Trust and verify. He’s so untrustworthy.

What he meant to say was... “I will tell Barr to refuse to let Mueller testify and Barr does everything I tell him to do, so Mueller won’t be testifying.”

Per Special Counsel regulations, Mueller can go to Congress directly without obtaining DOJ approval. Sorry GOP, even our framers knew complicit obstructionists like you existed!

maggieNYT And Mueller said he had no problem with it.

What a fool. Why hasn’t anyone explained the 3 co-equal branches of government to him?! Come on already!!! JFC!

Mueller will decide if Mueller testifies.

This man is too stupid to tie his shoes. He knows absolutely nothing about our laws other than how to break them.

maggieNYT Because he’s already talked to Barr about what he really wants through his secret back channel son-In-law of Barr’s.

Your appointed lackeys do not get to tell elected officials and congress what to do.

In other words....that's a NO GO!

Nope.

maggieNYT We are truly in a State of Emergency. We have no one to help us.

Yea sure !

Wrong Donald. Check the Special Counsel regs.

Of course, let the puppet Barr make the call.

I just ate 3 bowls of oatmeal with habaneros and extra sugar! I'm bouncing off the walls, and my butts on fire

The congress will subpoena him. And trump/barr will try to block testimony as they are doing with mcgahn. That's because all it takes is some testimony from people who aren't paid off by trump or using him to make a buck.

More obstruction

Thank you Dear Leader.

maggieNYT AG Barr is nothing more than a lap dog. For Trump

maggieNYT Yes you will.

I agree

lol - Yah, no. Nyet.

maggieNYT Free American citizen Robert Mueller needs Barr’s approval? Nope.

maggieNYT

maggieNYT heh, should be interesting to see what Barr does If what Mueller ends up saying goes against the POTUS, you'll have the president admonishing Barr with, 'why did you let him testify? I was bluffing. I thought you'd pick up on it.'

Tillerson was right.

maggieNYT Lol! He’s already stated he has no objection. Mueller will testify...you’ll get what you want. Question is, where the hell will you go next?

Trump wants to muzzle Mueller.

That’s the great thing about 3 equal branches of government. No one cares what realDonaldTrump thinks about Mueller testifying before Congress, so shut your pie-hole

Did Putin say it or Trump? Asking for a friend

Ahhhhh. Nope.

Call every single member of Mueller's team to testify publicly. One at a time Start with Andrew Weissmann. The man took down Enron & the NY mob.

No cigarro for you. That's absolutely ludicrous.

This guy seems guiltier every day

SocialPowerOne1 Never, not in Barr's power to decide.

maggieNYT Sure, he says that now. He’ll change his mind several times before it actually even happens. I’m not holding my breath for anything any longer.

He can have a massive coronary any day now.

Of course, he thinks that. He wants the opportunity to instruct his lap dog to prevent Mueller from testifying because he already knows Mueller is going to slam the door on his no obstruction nonsense.

Is he insane? Does he not understand the AG is for the country not his freaking as

maggieNYT

SocialPowerOne1 Trump honestly does know shit about anything.

Yes, it’s called the chain of command. Barr is head of the DOJ and Mueller is under him. This is news?

What horseshit. The criminals get to decide if evidence can be used against them or not.

NBC is bad at delivering news, nut delivers trump’s lies promptly.

doofus drumpf needs to discover prison. as in the one in which he will spend the rest of his life, mopping a kitchen seven days a week.

Bro, of course realDonaldTrump wants that. It's the reason he wanted an AG who was not recused.

Someone needs to drag Mueller in front of a camera and tell him to read the unredacted report. NOW

maggieNYT Must be pretty confident that Barr will bar Mueller from testifying. Perhaps Potus “suggested...hinted...inferred....Barr not to let him.

Why do people being investigated get to decide who testifies?

maggieNYT That’s not how it works. Read the special counsel statute, please.

SocialPowerOne1

He has know idea how any of this works.

maggieNYT He'll let Barr stand in the way of it. realDonaldTrump

In other news, his base just found out that they are all indeed related.

SocialPowerOne1 Late Stage Syphilis Grandpa will forget he said this in about 30 minutes.

maggieNYT He won’t stand in the way because he had Barr to do that...

🤡🤡

Don the Con 😡

maggieNYT Congress is the 'one' to decide that.

Because Trump is a constitutional scholar😒

SocialPowerOne1 Awesome. Barr said he had no issue with this

maggieNYT HA! but who's pulling the strings donnie?

BarackObama what was an fbi guy doing in the UKRAINE?

TJSeraphim Hahaha. Trump really thinks we are all stupid...

What has been smoking?

Oh good, he still doesn't know how any of this works.

I’d like to know how the investigation came to an end? How did that play out?

WRONG MR WANT TO BE DICTATOR!

maggieNYT Chortle.

maggieNYT Doesn't Congress get to decide who does and doesn't testify before Congress? I mean, isn't that the whole point of a subpoena?

maggieNYT Is that like he said, I’ll release my taxes or he said let them see the whole report ? Or I’ll sit down with mueller ?

He really doesn't understand the law or the American constitution at all.

maggieNYT Nope

ya because we all know Barr is unbiased.....SMH!

President Trump doesn't know how any of this works lolol

Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhh. . ... wrong. He has ABSOLUTELY NO SAY IN THE MATTER !!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh good, because AG Barr already said he has no problem!

LOL...Agent Orange thinks he's king now. What a clown.

Wrong! Congress will decide!

Mr. Mueller is a smart grown man/person, he himself can decide whether are not too testify. If Trump or Barr stops him, then we definitely know there is something they what hiden. PERIOD point blank.

More lies

Does he think he’s the president of Russia?

Subpoenas are worthless 🥴

Trump/Barr cover up 2019

Lol no he should not

Yeah...sure! And from now own, I decide how fast I drive down the road, I decide whether a should pay taxes or not, I decide to pay for goods, or maybe I'll just take them. Because I decide...just like Trump. I do what I want!

As the President he’s over the Executive Branch. Mueller worked for the DOJ. Period. Get over it.

Who among us believes this?

Of course, trump lays all blame on everyone else. He was/is a coward and always has been. Draft dodger

Trump tells reporters a lot of things.

LMAO DEMOCRAPS are missing Jeff Sessions and Rod Rosenstein about right now. This surely did not end the way they intended to

Russian judges?

🐓🐔🐓🐔🐓🐔🐓🐔🐓🐔🐓🐔🐓

Trump wants his lawyer to decide what Congress can do. I guess the GOP is just fully ignoring that Constitution now.

Someone needs to stop this guy! He’s changing the entire way our government is supposed to work. This is not a good time in America’s journey. We need to do everything we can to stop POTUS

Actually, Congress gets to decide who testifies before Congress. Sorry, Donny Two Scoops! womp womp

Wrong

Mueller will decide. Try and stop him

Ummm..... like he could.

Nope. Not so much there dumbass

Nope this is a f’ing Democracy so here is an idea impeach Trump and Barr

And we all know he'll tell Barr what he should do - if Barr wants to keep his job.

That’s actually not true.

Sen. Cory Booker: Trump AG Barr has lost credibility, must resignTrump Attorney General Bill Barr is refusing to testify before the House Judiciary Committee, just hours after testifying before the Senate. Barr was forced to defend himself after the release of a letter Mueller wrote to him in March, that suggested Barr misled the public with his four-page summary. 2020 candidate Senator Cory Booker tells The Beat Barr “has burned through any credibility he had” and “he should resign”. If you believe the president is above the law Barr did a great job. If you believe our founding fathers and no one is above the law Barr should resign and trump impeached! History. Does. Not. Matter.
