Attorney General William Barr is expected to come out swinging when he testifies on Capitol Hill Tuesday, accusing Democrats of falsely seeking to paint him as a Trump loyalist and challenging them to denounce violence in Portland, Ore.
In particular, Barr will seek to defend himself against what he calls attempts by Democrats to "discredit" him because he chose to investigate the origins of the FBI's probe into Russian interference in the 2016 election, according to a copy of his opening statement obtained by The Hill.
"Ever since I made it clear that I was going to do everything I could to get to the bottom of the grave abuses involved in the bogus 'Russiagate scandal,' many of the Democrats on this Committee have attempted to discredit me by conjuring up a narrative that I am simply the Presidents factotum who disposes of criminal cases according to his instructions," Barr writes.
"Judging from the letter inviting me to this hearing, that appears to be your agenda today," he adds.
Barr's forceful approach is likely an early preview of what the hearing Tuesday morning will be: a contentious cage match between Democrats and the president's top cop.

I'm glad to know Barr is going to come out swinging to defend himself.
When is he going to come out swinging and take down the swamp creatures?

The political right ain’t too happy with you either Bill, but for entirely different reasons.

he should use the opportunity to announce multiple indictments in the Clinton/Dem/Russia/coup attempt.

Yeah. He should use the forum as the time to hand down indictments. Especially some on the committee.

To: yesthatjallen
More talking by Mr. Barr? Nifty! I’m virtually on pins & needles...YAWN!!..
(wake me up, when it’s time to go to bed!)
Indictments filed against high profile celebrities, politicians are typically sealed in order to protect their reputations/employment in the event that they are proven innocent (avoids lasting harm to their reputation).
The Deep State has used our legal system to delay their exposure in court by a few years.
In Spring of 2017, Rod Rosenstein appointed Special Counsel Robert Mueller in order to seize and control all documents related to the Russia Hoax. When they didn’t find anything to use to unseat our President, they kept the sham going to continue to withhold all documents related to the hoax. In Spring of 2019, two years later, the first DOJ legally able to look at the documents got rid of Rosenstein and Mueller within a few weeks of taking office. The two men were allowed to make it look like they left on their own accord in order to thwart the planned riots.
The investigations began then since documents were finally accessible by good guys. The Covid-19 sham is being used by those involved in the hoax to refuse to fly or testify “until there’s a vaccine”. But, as courts are turning to remote proceedings and Covid-19 fakery is being exposed, they are running out of road blocks to avoid hearings and trials.

Watching the weasel words...Bill, we really don’t need anyone to get to the bottom of the FAKE RUSSIA deal. That has been done by many over the past 3-4 years. We know who the bad guys are and what they did and how they did it. Time for SOME RESULTS FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE...not the DC two-step. We need to see a line of filthy anti-American scum all dressed in orange....

Barr’s forceful approach? We’ve had numerous DOJ LEO injured in acts of domestic terrorism and the “Barr” DOJ hasn’t done a thing about it. Barr should spare us the beltway theater and substantively engage the domestic terrorists.

A window of good weather will soon be in favor of sailing the SV Justice right up the left’s ass. When it happens we will all celebrate, because it will be the end of all the snide remarks we are currently subject to.

Exactly This is another Barr beltway theater PR stunt. Talk big. Deliver nothing. Been there. Done that.

I like his angle. He should keep reminding the Democrats that they’re interfering with the independence of the DOJ. Use their own words against them. They’re shameless, but it’ll reveal them for the asinine hypocrites that they are.
To: yesthatjallen
Well, the Democrats have proven that they will do anything to gain power and destroy the constitution
