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
Cruz hit a total homerun. Absolutely killed the Dem narrative.
Graham did a nice job keeping ship moving through the sea of crap, not allowing the Dems to drop anchor and wallow.
Dan Abrams should stick to Live PD. On that at least he doesn’t get political. If he ever does, I’ll stop watching that too! LOL.
Shep’s on now, continuing his years-long audition to work for NBC or ABC.
You and I will die in a blaze of lead, so that they will have to toss us in.
That will be our special distinction. Yeah sick of it all.
92% of the journalists today are opinion reporters, they do nothing more than preach to their choirs. “All the News that is fit to stink” should be their motto. They are paid to write one sided crap, but what gets me is that they have completely programmed the useful idiots to accept the crap as truth. Accusations are now the new truth. Ohhhh Big Brother thou art here.
It is becoming obvious the media and Dems are trying to overthrow the government.
Just shut up and tweet amateur porn videos of yourself, Cecilia...
Sometimes I feel that way too.
What shall we do about it?
We will be jailed if we do anything effective.
“Oh really? Then where are the indictments?”
The Dem Media Useful Idiot Zombie hoards must create narrative.
Satan must send his hoards of demons.
Orange Man Bad.
