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.

Barr has an IQ double the sum of that entire group questioning him. I loved the shut down on the guy questioning him about Obamacare being unconstitutional. “Well then, you don’t have anything to worry about”.

Saw a bunch of it - he showed admirable restraint...I’m feeling better about him every time the idiots try to rake him over the coals.

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.
______
I can agree with that.

Thank God! I pray he stays strong!


Yeah, Rush has been talking about Barr for the past hour.
The rats really look petty.
Barr seems strong.
Lots better than Sessions.

From what I saw, I could detect Barr’s disgust for the Rats.

They have nothing to work with ... all their hopes fell through .. and their lies are getting on nerves out here. They do not know this is working against them for 2020. They cried wolf for a long time and came up empty! It’s backfiring on them.. and the socialistic left have no clue either.. they live in their own dreams.

“I think Barr is doing a great job hammering the Dems stupidity”.

Did you detect Barr’s disgust for the Dems? I did.

You got that right.
Barr was telling those rats who is in control.
Barr is proving to be a good thing thus far.

You know a funny thing.
I just finished desinging a custom home on LaPlata Dr.
Just kinda funny.
Does that make us kindered spirits?
Don’t know, but if you want to shoot guns, fish, hunt and live the good life......I know a guy who knows a guy that has a friend that has a sister that dated a guy that worked in the south forty....that says ............

BS aside, the LaPlata Hse is a jewel.

sidebar: does anyone know what happened after the russian Facebook gang was indicted and their attorney showed up in court demanding discovery from mueller inquisition? Seems like at least a year ago.

prosecutors who indict and refuse to meet discovery requirements should go to jail for the period of time the persons they investigated would have gone.

We have a La Plata Place here in Durango, La Plata County, Colorado.

I’m sure it is a jewel.

My LaPlata is in west TX.
They call it the hill country.
Rocks, rattle snakes, and scorpions .
My jewel is cliff side. Overlooks a valley 40 miles of open prairie. Let me root around and see if I can find a pic for you.

My bet is that case quietly is dismissed. Mueller never expected the Russians would actually show up and, *shockingly*, demand their rights to see the evidence. Here is the latest on it...

“So far, U.S. District Judge Dabney Friedrich in Washington has restricted the release of the documents. But some of those shared with the defendants have already been disclosed. The judge is weighing whether to ease the restrictions, balancing U.S. security concerns against the constitutional right to a fair trial for the company, Concord Management and Consulting LLC. Her ruling could force the U.S. to drop the case.”

If Mr. Barr conducts his duties as AG as compently as he testified today, the Rats attempt to drag on the fake Russia delusion will fail.

He came across as a real pro.
