William Barr is in deep trouble (CNN Alert)
CNN ^ | 05/01/2019 | Silly Cillizza

(CNN) — Attorney General William Barr did two strange things between the time he received special counsel Robert Mueller's report on Russian interference in the 2016 election and when he released it to Congress and the public.

The first came on March 24 when, two days after receiving the Mueller report, Barr released a four-page summary letter in which he made clear his conclusion that the report found no collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russians and that Mueller hadn't made any recommendation as to whether President Donald Trump should be charged with obstructing justice.

The second came on the morning of April 18 when Barr, with Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein by his side, held a press conference to reiterate those findings -- in remarkably Trumpian language -- 90 minutes before actually making a redacted version of the report public.

On Tuesday night, those two moves came into far sharper -- and more troubling -- focus when it was revealed that Mueller sent a letter to Barr on March 27 expressing concern about the ways in which Barr's summary document described the evidence surrounding obstructive behavior.

Apparently we’ve reached a tipping point. The walls seem to be closing in. This could be the end of Barr. blah, blah, blah.

No offense to CNN. I’m sure they are as unbiased as they come and are looking only to report the news as precisely as possible, but...

I actually was alive when those news events happened. I was part of the culture in which they were released. There was nothing strange about them. They made complete sense. However, those in the leftist bubble thought they were strange because, well, because their ox is being good and gored.

i.e. CNN, you can no longer be taken seriously reporting anything that even slightly brushes against politics.

The April 18 move apparently means that he didn’t care about the March 27 letter.

Barr didn’t come out of retirement to deal with the Rats’ bull crap. Like Trump, he doesn’t need the job. Here’s hoping they can drain the swamp. If not, and if the coup plotters aren’t held accountable, this country is finished.

Mueller expressed to Barr that he did not like the way the media was interpreting the investigation.

But, they are trying to make this about Barr.

The media was interpreting it as there was obstruction.

CNN, the network only morons believe, now is intent on taking out A.G. Barr. Everything in the next ten days will be dedicated to that cause. Why? Because they are deathly afraid that he will investigate and expose King Barack I and Hillary Clinton in their coup attempt.
They need to get rid of Barr, or at least destroy his credibility and reputation enough so that nothing goes forward in the investigation of Spygate, which is much worse than Watergate ever was.
