So he not only lied he thinks it was funny?

It’s not a lie when you are using ‘alternate facts’

" he was differentiating between Mueller and the members of his team."

Is there such a clear distinction in Team Trump?

Pretty fucking lame excuse. We’re used to Rudy’s giving lawyers a bad name, but we didn’t need the AG as well.

Clearly he’s from the long line of “Depends what your definition of ‘is’ is” folks in legalese…

He who laughs last, laughs best. Bill…it won’t be you.

If we can take back the Senate and Presidency, I really hope that we’ll not let bygones be bygones like Obama did with GW and Cheney. I want my pound of flesh from these assholes. MFers need to go to jail.

So, basically the schoolyard rubber and glue defense.

A couple days ago:

“As those seated on the platform waited for the president’s arrival in an adjacent tent, Attorney General Barr approached Speaker Pelosi, shook her hand and said loudly, ‘Madam Speaker, did you bring your handcuffs?’”

If I had been her, I would’ve said something like …don’t get your hopes up, pervert.

Now he’s lying about lying. Learning from the master.

uneducated · May 17, 2019, 2:33pm

Next" Executive Order", Barr may not be called a liar.

ralph_vonholst · May 17, 2019, 2:35pm

But he didn’t deny it.

centralasiaexpat · May 17, 2019, 2:35pm

Pound of flesh? Barr won’t notice anything less than 2 stone.

More importantly, ask yourself what the Attorney General of the United States is doing on Fox News giving interviews about the Mueller report instead of appearing in front of the House Judiciary Committee as he was subpoenaed to do.

lizzymom · May 17, 2019, 2:36pm

Words fail.

(I tried writing something else, but nothing seemed sufficient to express my loathing and disgust for this corruption and lack of morals. I have a hard time trying to decide who among this bunch is the most vile but it’s impossible to rank them…)

lizzymom · May 17, 2019, 2:37pm

Hey, just cut his tongue out… let him keep the blubber on his ribs.

centralasiaexpat · May 17, 2019, 2:38pm

Yeah, cut his tongue out and then see if he floats. I think I have that right…

Pelosi should have launched an impeachment investigation of Barr for abuse of power when he appointed that joker from Connecticut to start ANOTHER “investigation of the investigators” despite two other ongoing, unfinished DoJ investigations into the same subject.

Then subpoenaed all of Barr’s records – and given immunity to Rosenstein, Durham, etc in exchange for testimony…

this is what she gets for choosing to ignore Barr’s impeachable behavior.
