President Donald Trump’s attorney general nominee William Barr refused to commit to recusing himself from the Mueller investigation when pressed by Sen. Kamala Harris on the matter.
During Tuesday’s confirmation hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee, Harris followed up on a line of questioning by her Democratic colleague Sen. Patrick Leahy of Vermont whether Barr would follow the advice DOJ ethics officials regarding recusal.
“I will seek the advice of the career ethics personnel, but under the regulations, I make the decision as the head of the agency as to my own recusal,” Barr told Leahy, according to The Washington Post.

Then there's this quote (also in the article) from Barr's memo to Mueller:
“I know you will agree that, if a DOJ investigation is going to take down a democratically-elected President, it is imperative to the health of our system and to our national cohesion that any claim of wrongdoing is solidly based on evidence of a real crime — not a debatable one,” he added.
“It is time to travel well-worn paths; not to veer into novel, unsettled or contested areas of the law; and not to indulge the fancies by overly-zealous prosecutors.”
That quote could equally well apply to Mueller's theory about how PDJT allegedly violated campaign, finance laws by directly or indirectly paying off blackmailing sluts.
Well, maybe I like him better than Sessions.
It looks very favorable to me.
He is standing up to Kamala Harris. She is a far left bully.
“Well senator, if you were half as smart as YOU believe yourself to be, I might have a different answer for you but you wouldn’t be able to comprehend it.”
I hope he is shunned wherever he goes.
He is standing up to Kamala Harris. She is a far left bully.
***********************************************************
She is as nasty as they come.
Total vanity - my intuition is to shy away from Barr due to his historic connections with the founders of the CIA, one of whoms’ granddaughter is recruiting for the CIA on the Stanford campus. But if President Trump acknowledges this and puts all the rotten eggs in one basket and sets a trap for them as a group, then I’m all in.
Hey Kamala Willie Harris
Why don’t you recuse yourself from the Judicial Committee, your side lost 2 seats in the senate, your seat should have disappeared, why do you still occupy that seat?
Who is this founder?
Blow it out your rear
Jeff Sessions and Rod Rosenstein appreciate your loving support.
yes, he was impotent
Did Sen Harris use her scoldy mom voice on Mr Barr?
One of the problems with this job. You have to take a lot of crap from a single digit I.Q. moron.
You summed it up nicely.
Sessions should have been tarred and feathered...
She looked foolish, then she announced she’s a NO vote.
Who is this founder?

Her grandfather, Nicholas Deak, was a well known CIA agent for decades.
Her father Ralph Blasey II ran three CIA-front companies Red Coats Inc., Datawatch, and Admiral Security Systems.
And her brother Ralph Blasey II [sic] once worked for the law firm Baker Hostetler which was behind the creation of Fusion GPS and subsequently the dossier used to start the Russian collusion investigation.
It’s how she made it to where she is.
And Barr is connected to them?
