.@MarshaBlackburn:
- "I think Mueller assembled a 'dream team,'" Blackburn said before listing the team.
- "Do you consider these lawyers to be the best?" she asked.
- "Not necessarily," AG Barr said.
Time to red pill them, weston. LOL
Have a very enjoyable visit with them.
AG Barr just tried to cite Hillary Clinton in 2016 as being targeted by the Russians.....but Booker tried to shut him up.
Wait until it is said that the Steel Dossier paid for by Clinton was an attempt by Russia to influence our election.
Oh, the screaming and the howling!!!!

Ernst: Talking about Russian interference and their tactics. This makes me yaw
***
Ernst: Do you see vulnerability that left us open during 2016. (someone likes to hear themselves talk.) Barr: we have a foreign influence task force. Dynamic program and I’m impressed. The way I view it is there has always been efforts to influence elections.
***
It was more easily detectable and now with tech and democracy of info the danger is far more insidious. It’s a huge challenge because people can impersonate Americans.
***
E: Can we work with Social Media companies to counter this? B: Yes, private co. are stepping up their game (BTW that means the left claiming we are all Russian bots and censoring our twitter. Be careful here)
***
Oh Boy. Hirono: You arent different than KellyAnn Conway and Giuliani holding water for the “grifter” in the oval office. (I swear if I hear that word from the right ever again) Hirono is going after Barr stating that he should never have overseen the SC- delayed the report.
***
H: Praising the “free press” (this entire thing is just an entire bunch of lies. My gosh someone please stop her or correct her. Please Barr)
***
Hirono accusing Barr of lying right now - this is the most irresponsible horrible display I’ve ever seen. She’s disgusting. This is disgusting. I can’t even tweet it.
***
She’s using her entire 7 minutes to grandstand- they are now investigating BARR ON TOP OF EVERYTHING ELSE. FOR GOODNESS SAKES. They are trying to get him off all investigations. This is sick.
***
H: is the WH exerting influence on you about Mueller testifying? B: No. H: do you think all of the things potus did are OK. Is it OK to fire FBI director? Hirono won’t let him answer.
***
This woman should not be allowed to hold office. She’s rude. Barr please - Graham pushing back hard now.
***
Barr should have been allowed to respond. Don’t know who is asking questions now. Talking about culture in government and institutions. Seems there is a seedy culture that developed and these ppl thought they could work within power
***
Blackburn..When she talks to Tennesseans they want to see a restoration of trust integrity and accountability.
***
What is the plan to rebuild the trust in the DOJ. B: I don’t think there is a bad culture. Don’t think issues are indemic to institution. They do great work every day. To the extent there was overreach we have to be concerned that a few people (Cont)
***
Getting it into their heads they know better than American people. Barr: I don’t consider them the best and the brightest in the country. Lololol
***
B: how did we get to the point that the evidence shows this was all without basis and allegations of treason and to listen to some of the rhetoric you’d think the report found the opposite.
***
Booker: off we go. We are at a very sobering moment in American history. Considerable amount going on that shows we are at a crossroads and we are descending into a new normal and I fear you’ve put your own credibility into question through your language. The letter again.
***
Stating the president instructed people to lie (he didn’t). He found that stating this was acceptable was problematic and the second is that you seem to be excusing a campaign that had hundreds of contacts with a foreign adversary (HELLO DEMOCRATS! Be careful here Booker(
***
Talking about Manafort polling data. You said “we know the Russian operatives didn’t have cooperation of the campaign or admin” Booker stating this isn’t true and they were willing to meet and your objectivity is called into question.
***
Barr: they didn’t do any of this - apparently Trump Jr. was interested in seeing what Russian woman had. This is hard to tweet I’m really sorry - Barr stating that this happens and attempts are made. If we were right now to look at Clinton’s campaign during this same time.
***
Booker trying to interrupt him talking about Clinton’s campaign and information- stating Barr’s willingness to brush over this is bad.
Sen. Tillis is from my state, NC. He is a sometimes Trump supporter. He is going to be running for re-election, so he better do a good job here. He did good - said he found the behavior of the Dems on the Committee despicable!

@JackPosobiec
Ben Sasse spreading unhinged Russiagate conspiracy theories are a stain on this hearing. This has been thoroughly investigated and debunked again and again. This guy is completely lost in a demented fantasy world and refuses to accept reality

Tillis is handling this very well so far. Barr seems to agree. It's fun to watch how Barr's demeanor changes when he gets relevant and good questions compared to how he sits when people like Hirono and Feinstein are droning on.
Kamel is also a very rude person.
She won’t let him answer.
Is accusing him of being biased.
Tries to shut him down when he tries to explain.
Kamala Harris is her usual outrageous self.....Barr is handling her well.

So now Democrats are going to argue Barr should have looked at all of the underlying evidence and *questioned* Mueller's findings? Really?

Kamala Harris should be the last person talking about bias!! Her biased agenda is coming through, loud and clear. Talk about hostile! #DisrespectfulBitch
Gee, life gets in the way....
Off to do my tutoring at school.
Later......
See you later...
Rush yelled at Coons on the air. Knew it had to be bad.
Sen. Cruz - this should be good. Commending AG Barr - finally.
.
Ted Cruz is giving it to the democrats.
I had to shut Leahy off.
My blood pressure cannot take his offensive lies.

Tilles: The scope of the OIG- do you know what the scope will be? Does it extend? B: I dont want to be too specific. I talked to Horowitz a few weeks ago, it is focused on the FISA but by necessity it looks back a bit earlier. The people I have helping me with mine and Horowitz.
***
Harris is up: Has the POTUS recommended that you open an investigation of anyone? Barr: No. (but they have talked about it) (HARRIS IS A BI$$$$) H: In reaching our conclusion did you personally review all of the underlying evidence? B: We accepted the report as accurate.
***
H: did anyone review evidence (this really doesn’t matter. She is basically stating that Mueller didn’t do his job right). B: This is not a mysterious thing- we take presentation of the evidence as true.
***
H: Will you recuse from investigations? B: No. I don’t see any reason to do this? Barr asking what my conflict of Interest is, and Harris states he is biased. Barr invoking RR and stating he isn’t the only one involved.
***
Harris is basically saying RR had a conflict and couldn’t make a charging decision, but they had absolutely no problem with him RUNNING THE ENTIRE thing.
***
HE WAS RUNNING THE ENTIRE INVESTIGATION KAMALA HARRIS. IT FELL UNDER HIS PURVIEW YOU IMBECILE. This is absolutely ridiculous.
***
Crapo: Who released the letter to the WaPo? B: I don’t know. (LEAKS. That’s how. SC leaks)
***
Barr thinks that the concerns were leaked and then to answer that the letter was given.
***
No one is asking anything that can be ongoing investigations - the Republicans don’t want to expose them and the Dems don’t want them exposed.
***
Barr is stating that he thinks Wray has rooted out bad bias apples.
***
Barr says leaks are happening because they don’t like what their supervisors are doing and they are leaking to control up the chain - very interesting.
***
Cruz now: talking about the slander Barr has experienced today. A word that occurred hardly ever is Russia - now they are only talking about obstruction - calling president a traitor and accusing him of treason.
***
Cruz stating if this letter is all the Dems have they have nothing. He’s going over the letter issue. (This was a propaganda stunt by the media to effect this hearing. Ridiculous media complicity in an ongoing coup against our potus.)
***
Barr is laughing at the Democrats now.
***
Cruz: DOJ under Obama was weaponized and politicized. If that is the case do you agree that that is an abuse of power. Are - yes regardless of who does it. C: when did surveillance begin B: position today July, but I don’t know the answer.
***
Barr not knowing a lot of these details again lends credence to ongoing investigations for some time now.
***
End of first round now. Senator Lehey again - stating that campaign knew about emails before world knew (not true. They didn’t know before)
***
Special counsel found evidence of underlying crimes - talking about campaign finance.
***
Barr doubling down stating he will supervise all investigations- he will not recuse.
