Chris Wallace: AG Barr Is Protecting This President And Advocating For His Interests
RCP Video ^ | 5-17-2019 | Tim Hains

"FOX News Sunday" anchor Chris Wallace reacts to Attorney General Bill Barr's interview with FNC's Bill Hemmer.

(snip)

CHRIS WALLACE, FOX NEWS: As somebody who does interviews for a living, when you watch somebody else do interviews you always say, "Well gee, I would have asked or what about?" .... And what really comes across to me most of all is that for two years Donald Trump sat there and said, "I don't have an attorney general. I don't have somebody out there looking for an (sic) protecting my interests." He clearly has that now with Bill Barr. Not saying that Barr isn't right in everything he says. But he clearly is protecting this president and advocating his point of view on a lot of these issues. ….

CHRIS WALLACE: It's why we have lawyers. They can sit there and parse language and cut it up into fine pieces. I think what critics would say is, you were being asked both by in the house by Charlie Crist and in the Senate by Chris van Hollen whether you knew the Mueller team was satisfied what you said. He took a very lawyerly and precise approach. It was only afterward we found out that, in fact, Mueller had called him the day after he issued his conclusions and said he wasn't happy with it. So look, you know, I'm not a lawyer, Bill Barr is a very accomplished lawyer. He can certainly make a case. Other lawyers who would say whether he lied or not he certainly was not forthcoming to either Crist or van Hollen when he answered their questions about what he knew about Mueller's opinion.

It is not mandatory to work against the presidents interest, and being something Trump wants is not mutually exclusive to the general interests of the US, and it is not mandatory to resist every single policy Trump has period no matter what. I wish trump would propose bills sometimes that dems want so the dems can be filmed on record not only being against them but also protesting them, but unfortunately despite being meme kings, republicans do not seem capable of making campaign commercials out of the endless source of primary quotes. Their negative adds against other primary candidates can he vicious, but for some reason rethugs are incapable of using dims own words against them

I don’t recall one word bout Holder and Lynch even though they were 100% owned by Obama.

Two Fox Trump-haters prepare for a miserable Summer of '19 reporting the treasonous unraveling of the Mueller Report--Spygate.

"Forthcoming," my dimpled rear end.

RAT congresscritters asking questions that are none of their business, they should feel fortunate they get any answer at all.

Just like when Obama claims there were NO scandals during his administration, in a way he’s right, the commie media covered his ass so much they just pretended none of those scandals actually happened

Auditioning for CNN, Chris? They're not really in hiring mode right now.

I second your notion!
I DETEST Wallass and Shemp, and a few other people on Fox, but they are generally supportive of Trump, and provide a VITAL balance to the reporting of the other LSM outlets on cable.
That Barr would give an interview to Bill Hemmer is, to me, proof that the Trump admin trusts Fox to give them coverage that is—for the most part— quite “fair and balanced”.

I don’t see much difference between Chris and Shep. Have thought this for years.

All I want is AG Barr to follow the Constitution. He does that he has Trump’s back. Beyond that he’ll have a bunch of some folks ass. “That little flashing light in the corner of your eye Comey is your carrier dissipation light.” Time to tear down Obama’s little shitz house.

Barr was asked if he knew Mueller’s TEAM had issues with him. He said he had talked with Mueller. IOW, he had no first hand knowledge of “the team” because he hadn’t talked to each and every one of them.

He went on to say that he supposed that if they did have issies it might be because his report on conclusions didn’t get into their little nuances.

I literally quit Fox the day he showed up. He’s a left wing deep state troll.
