Talk is cheap, Mr. Barr. We know youā€™re going to be confirmed, but your actions will be watched. And remember, there is a wonderful new technology which allows your statements to be recorded and published.

Barr: ā€œI would not carry outā€ an instruction to fire Mueller without cause.

ā€œOf course, if Mueller were about to prove GOP treason,ā€ Barr continued, ā€œthat would definitely be ā€˜causeā€™.ā€

The fact that this question has to be asked of a prospective Attorney General of the United States is breathtaking.

Trumps man for sure. This is not going to be pretty. Trump and the GOP Senate are looking to put this thing to bed.

Barr leaves the open the possibility that he would be willing to allow journalists to be jailed.

Asked whether he would considering jailing journalists ā€œfor doing their jobs,ā€ Mr. Barr paused before explaining that he could conceive of situations ā€œas a last resortā€ where a news organization or journalist needs to be held accountable for ā€œputting out stuff that they know will harm the country.ā€
