Discussion: Barr Waffles On Whether He's Spoken To White House About Mueller Spin-Off Cases

“Only one case. Well, maybe two or three. But, you know, Trump does’t pay attention anyway so it’s all good.”

Daughter and I are on our way from Seattle to Vancouver WA. I’ve been eavesdropping now and again. Barr’s performance would make a sleazy Tucson “Accident Lawyer” blush.

Personally, I don’t care whether he waffles or goes full English breakfast with hot chocolate.

He was hired to lie. He already demonstrated a willingness to lie on multiple occasions. Nothing he says can be trusted, ‘sworn testimony’ or not.

To Chubby Checker’s Limbo Rock.

For GOP senators Trump is their useful idiot. We can understand their wanting to protect him.
But Barr? What does it buy him but employment? Are there other Barr types waiting in the wings for their hour on the stage? Surely he’s knowingly aiding and abetting a nascent American Mussolini.

Barr is giving new meaning to the description “slippery lawyer.”

That’s why he was hired.

Barr makes Saul Goodman seem like a pillar of moral probity.

If William Barr ever shows up at the house,

Via cnn.com:
“The attorney general said Trump may not have believed he was asking White
House Counsel Don McGahn to say something false. Mueller’s report
directly disputes that”.

Ignorance of the law is not a defense the last time I checked. And in my most humble opinion this is lying under oath…assuming Graham bothered to administer Barr the oath to tell the truth.
There are also several other instances in his testimony that are lies, Of course no one will actually have the intestinal fortitude to actually do something about this state of affairs.

DoJ people spoke to White House people and it would not have happened w/o Barr knowing.
From 4/17/19:

So, this is straight up lying under oath and as I said they ain’t gonna do shit about it 'cept to say…" well ain’t that interesting!"

Lying to Congress in testimony is a crime, regardless of whether an oath has been administered, so, yes, he broke the law.

The guy’s been in office how long and he can’t remember talking about the main activity that’s been going on around him?

Yeah, right.

I expect nothing to come of it. Now if I had done exactly as Barr has today I would be in a world of hurt don’cha know.

He’s already perjured himself under oath and he’s hasn’t even been on the job more than a a few months. That’s a record that far outdistances John Mitchell.
