Attorney General William Barr testifies before Congress
CNN ^ | Apr. 9, 2019 | Meg Wagner and Amanda Wills

Posted on 04/09/2019 8:54:21 AM PDT by Innovative

NOW: Attorney General William Barr is testifying before a Congressional committee about the Justice Department’s budget.

But it's not just the budget: Barr will likely be grilled on special counsel Robert Mueller's report on the Russia investigation, and Barr's short summary of it. He could also face questions about immigration and the border.

Rep. Ed Case, a Democrat from Hawaii, just held up one of the most coveted documents of the Robert Mueller investigation as a prop to criticize what are sure to be the coming redactions.

It's the Aug. 2017 memo from Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein to Mueller, expanding Mueller's mandate. It's almost completely redeacted, except the part about potential collusion by Paul Manafort.

Dems want to selectively release details from the fraudulent investigation and try Trump in the court of public opinion using lies half truths and ommissions.

Dems also want to deny Barr any budget to pursue Comey, Brennan, Obama, Hillary, et al.

“Dems want to selectively release details from the fraudulent investigation and try Trump in the court of public opinion using lies half truths and ommissions.”

They want to impeach Trump — that is their main objective. Truth and facts don’t matter.

The Dems have no questions about the subject of the hearing...just Mueller...Mueller...Mueller!

These states had the choice of electing them to congress, or chaining them to fence posts. They chose poorly.

Barr did good to shut down the rats.
He said he has four items used to redact info.
He said he will release everything that he can.
They tried to pound him, however, Barr essentially told the rats to pound sand and wait for the report in a few weeks.

Mr Barr, who was the first person connected to Russia that tried to gain access to the Trump campaign?

Please describe the circumstances as to how this person was to be inserted in to the Trump Campaign, specifically who initiated the attempt.?

3 years after the fact and Dems are still trying to make Trump winning the 2016 election a crime.

Democrats prove for the millionth or so time that security for this country doesn’t matter one iota. Getting POTUS is their agenda. Only the Republicans cared about the budget and doing any worthwhile work.

“They tried to pound him, however, Barr essentially told the rats to pound sand and wait for the report in a few weeks.”

I believe Barr said something to the effect of, “The chairman of the Judiciary can ask the court to rule on what Barr can and cannot do.” That shut down Rep. Case.

William Barr Says Mueller Report Will Be Public ‘Within a Week’

AG Barr confirms the DOJ IG report on FISA Abuse will be out in May or June. He says he’s awaiting the criminal referrals from Cong. Devin Nunes and it will be handled.

That must have left a shudder in many. There’s a show coming but it ain’t dog and pony. It’s Showtime.

Hopefully, it will go deep but it’s clear it’s starting with “the origination” of the Russia Collusion Hoax.

Who made that reference just earlier? None other than President Trump.
These people are in some deep trouble.

Dems stole the 1960 election, wanted to impeach Nixon in his first term long before Watergate, wanted Reagan ruled incompetent as he was being worn in and wanted him removed from office by impeachment or other means long before Iran-Contra, wanted Bush taken out in 88. They refused to concede twice when Bush was elected and conspiracy nut Vincent ‘Helter Skelter’ Bugliosi wanted Bush charged with murder. The calls for impeachment of Trump began before he was seated and again tried the ‘incompetent’ call.

The peaceful transfer of power ended 60 years ago.

“Barr said that the Justice Department, with the help of the special counsel’s office, plans to “color code the decisions from the report and provide explanatory notes describing the basis for each redaction.””

It’s been a while since Rats mocked Republican color coding schemes. Since they allegedly deleted all of BJ’s wife’s data, perhaps they can consult some of their late night comedy “news”casters for the archived “jokes”.

No doubt about it...AG Barr has wiped up the floor with the Democrat Party incompetent low life. The predicted tremendous big showdown to take AG Barr down never happened. It was AG, Barr that took the Democrat Party, scum and vermin, and put them in their place as the losers they are!!!

By the way Media, just in case you don’t get it...the 2020 Democrat Party POTUS Candidates ain’t raising money and they ain’t drawing crowds of supporters. Waiting for one of you Media types to grab the “truth” football and run with it, the story of the never ever happening Democrat Party 2020 pursuit of the POTUS!!!
