Twitter melts down over Barr press conference

Twitter exploded throughout Attorney General William Barr's press conference ahead of the release of special counsel Robert Mueller's report, with strong but varying reactions from members of the media.

Barr offered a staunch defense of President Trump during the press conference, where he previewed the report's findings and explained why they led him to conclude that Trump had not obstructed justice.

Barr called the report a vindication of Trump over the allegations of collusion with Russian officials to influence the 2016 election.

All of the top-trending hashtags on Twitter surrounded the Barr press conference and Mueller report on Thursday morning, with Barr's comments and media reaction to them dominating.

The redacted Mueller report will be sent to Congress by CD-ROM at 11 a.m. Thursday.

This thing is a total POS so far.
I'll let others dissect it more fully.
I'm done after about 100 pages.

If Jeff Sessions had not recused himself and if Mueller had not been appointed, the last two years would have been a complete disaster and most likely Trump would be impeached. The brilliance of Session’s strategy is starting to become clear so some who have the ability to think independently, and more will see the light as events unfold. The same is true about the role Rod Rosenstein has played.

Dude, less weed.

Everyone should just turn off Fox News. Turn it back on tonight when Hannity has the real patriots on. The ones who uncovered the coup. Those are the ones I want to hear from. Not Wallace and Baer. Does FNC really think its regular viewers are going to watch any of their stupid democrat townhalls and debates? They are delusional if they think they’ll pull in the audience they had during the republican presidential primaries.

“It’s only about 10 people with hundreds of thousands of fake accounts “exploding”.”

that’s really been my impression about lots of this stuff on numerous sites, that there’s hundreds (maybe thousands) of paid trolls in foreign countries making hundreds of thousands (maybe millions) of ignorant, juvenile, and vituperative comments ...

There's an over the counter product they could use to
unblock their obstruction and it even comes in chocolate...

Yep -= and I just watched a recorded Barr presser and heard the air going out of the Left’s balloon - then kicked to Fox to see how they were discussing it....Shep gleefully said that Cohen said he can and will provide some of the redacted info - Cohen ain’t too smart.....

“And Chris Wallace sounds like the press secretary for the DNC.”

That’s why Fox is fair and balanced. Wallace, Smith are the left wing commentators.

I’m still trying to figure out how you can be exonerated if you committed no crime?
