Former Attorney General William Barr criticized the media on Monday for pushing the "lie" that former President Trump's campaign colluded with Russia in the 2016 presidential election.
"You decided when Robert Mueller chose not to analyze whether there was criminality on obstruction, you decided, ‘I’m attorney general, I’m going to make the decision,'" Savannah Guthrie asked Barr during an appearance on NBC's "Today" show. She said Barr "acknowledged" in his new book that he believed it was a "phony scandal" and asked why he decided to take the decision upon himself when "the whole point of the counsel was to take it out of the political chain of command."
"Well, it is a phony scandal. And people, in talking about the big lie after the election, forget that there was a big lie before – you know, at the beginning of the Trump administration," Barr responded.
Guthrie continued to push him on why Barr made the decision and not Mueller. "The reason he was selected by Rod Rosenstein was to give the appearance that there was no partisanship and then he went out and hired a lot of partisan Democrats," Barr said, saying half of the country didn't believe in the investigation.

And he did nothing
By doing nothing he caused an incredible amount of damage.

FU Barr. You belong in prison or executed if found guilty of treason.
Savannah Guthrie is a joke.
“And he did nothing”
Quite true.
I flushed a bill barr this morning
Both of Trump’s AG’s were worthless.
He made Durham special counsel.
Barr is finished, how?
He did his job. Trump hires people to do a job, a role. Barr completed his task. Who cares if he’s dumping on Trump?
How? Please advise.

(See, I can type a single capital letter too!)

What’s the Fake Feeding Frenzy now?

He refused to investigate Hunter Biden when the evidence was overwhelming.
Need more?
And just because you can do something doesn’t mean you should.

“FU Barr. You belong in prison or executed if found guilty of treason.”
Calm down. Gitmo. I have some questions for him.
It wasn’t a lie. It was a coup attempt by the FBI and CIA.
“And he did nothing”
...and he did that very well, for his cronies.
His first loyalty is to the DOJ. Deep staters protect the deep state above all else. If the DOJ or FBI is threatened, the wagons are circled and the threat is neutralized, no matter what.
Hunter’s crimes have been referred to a military tribunal.
Hate Bill Barr all you want. But when he came in he stopped the Bob Mueller persecution of Trump. Barr was aware that the Russian collusion was a lie. Barr acted on this.
IOW Barr bailed out Trump, which took balls in the DC Swamp.
