On Wednesday morning, ABC broke in for roughly 20 minutes of coverage for the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing featuring Attorney General Bill Barr concerning the Mueller report and, predictably, ABC journalists were livid with Barr and painted him as a lying, partisan stooge. But they were undermined by chief legal analyst Dan Abrams asserting that he doesn’t think Barr critics will be able to sufficiently prove that he lied.
Senior White House correspondent Cecilia Vega told World News Tonight anchor David Muir that Barr “is facing very serious new questions, renewed questions about his credibility” in addition to the supposed Barr vs. Mueller riff.
ABC Journalists Seethe Over Barr Testimony, But Abrams Admits Dems Can’t Prove He Lied
Even though there was no collusion and the President won’t be indicted on obstruction, Vega complained
VEGA: The — the attorney general really created the impression that Mueller's team found no wrongdoing and then we later came to find out that that is not at all what the report concluded. And just as of two hours ago, President Trump was tweeted these words that we have heard him say so many times before: “No obstruction. No collusion. Complete vindication.” That's been their narrative and in many ways, it was a gift from the attorney general. I think there are some questions right now about whether — the Democrats will certainly ask them, about whether this is the attorney general acting as the attorney general of the United States or the lawyer for President Trump.
MUIR: Or the lawyer for President Trump because remember, Bob Mueller said in his report that if we could exonerate him, we will. He did not.
After ABC dipped into the hearing for Barr facing off against Senator Patrick Leahy (D-VT), Muir noted that Barr was asked about whether he personally knew members of Mueller’s team were displeased with his testimony following the March 24 letter on the probe
“A very nuanced answer and, Dan Abrams, it sounded to me as though he was splitting hairs there, saying I didn’t talk to members of his team, so I didn’t know why they were upset. I talked to Bob Mueller himself,” Muir added.
It was here that Abrams burst some liberal bubbles: “Look, it's a very lawyery answer, right? And this is why I don't think they’re going to be able to truly kind of prove that Barr, quote unquote, lied, right? Because I think there will be an explanation for everyone of Barr's comments about the Mueller investigation.”
Not to be left out, senior congressional correspondent and frequent NewsBusters target Mary Bruce touted far-left Senator Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) telling here that Barr lied to Congress and the country, but according to her conversations, Democrats are “stopping short” of saying he “outright lied or perjured himself.”
Bruce wrapped up ABC’s coverage with more liberal parroting
Journalists do not engage in any reporting or fact finding.
They start with their conclusion (”Orange Man Bad”) and they do everything they can to prop up this conjecture. That’s their job. That’s the Narrative. Someone pays them to badmouth the properly elected leader of the country and his administration.
Oh really? Then where are the indictments?
Oh, yeah, Barr lied—and Christine Ford was the soul of honesty. The only people who believe that are morons who would vote for Democrats from their own graves.
The Left is an enemy of the state.
Just take that to the bank and you’ll understand almost everything that takes place.
ENOUGH! Hang these rats. We The People elected Donald Trump in an open and fair election and these f’ing Democrats and their media stooges have been trying to do everything they can to void our votes. ENOUGH! Get the guns out and start shooting these rats. Our Founders would wonder aloud why we hadn’t done so already. They would have!
just sat through the woman from Hawaii- disgusting- her attitude and lies are despicable- Hawaii- you can do way better than her- vote her out!
[[and Christine Ford was the soul of honesty.]]
And don’t forget smollett- and while we’re at it, let’s not forget “If you like your doctor you can keep your doctor” obama- and “The violence was a result of an Internet video” hillary and vallery jarrette- and ilk-
we’ve been watching the hearings and the dying lying leftist fake stream enemedia is just flat out lying, pure and simple ...
They should be careful. They could bust an aneurysm on live TV.
Why any conservative would even listen to these idiots is beyond me. They all come from the same backgrounds, go to the same schools and live in the same urban areas. They are the elite and know nothing about those of us who make this country work. The leftist politicians are more of the same. They are driving this country toward civil war.
They’re not journalists or reporters; they’re evangelists for their religion — progressivism. And to them, Trump is the devil, conservatives are demons and Christians are possessed minions.
The Democrat Propagandist Media
God, I f'ng despise the MSM. It's not the job pf a prosecutor to "exonerate" anyone. It's their job to bring charges or not bring changes. And, by the way, if one is charged with a crime, one is ultimately found guilty or not guilty. There is no "exoneration" as this requires proving a negative.
Could be part of the reason CNN is dying, and it couldn't happen to a more deserving outfit.
People can get news from so many sources now - blogs, websites, youtube, cable TV, foreign sources, podcasts, etc...
What is the role then of the long-term, corporate, alphabet fixed-time mainstream TV media? Print newspapers? Where are they left in all this change?
Their business and revenue is gone - so they must necessarily become propaganda outlets.
They gave up reporting long ago for opinion pieces.
Don’t know if anyone listening to Barr’s testimony early on in the hearing caught it but he stated that there was an ongoing investigation within the DOJ related to “criminal leaks”
Uhh Oh.
I could not have said it any better.
