The Real Reason Democrats Hate Bill Barr
The Federalist ^ | May 2, 2019 | David Harsanyi

The day of Attorney General Bill Barr’s testimony in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee this week, there was, as always, a selective leak dropped into the fray. With bated breath, we learned Special Counsel Robert Mueller had sent the attorney general a sternly worded letter grousing that Barr’s four-page March 24 explanation of the core conclusions of the Mueller report “did not fully capture the context, nature, and substance” of the Mueller’s “work and conclusions.”

The customary histrionics followed. Posturing Democrats on the judicial committee gave long soliloquies on Barr’s treacherous behavior. Sen. Mazie Hirono (D–HI) accused the attorney general of abusing his office and lying to Congress, and many others demanded his resignation. The usual suspects called for impeachment.

Barr had apparently masterminded the most inept cover-up in history, first by accurately laying out the outcome of the special counsel’s investigation. Then, after some light redactions (none instigated by the president), by releasing the report to the public so everyone in the entire world could read it for themselves.

Now that Trump has been cleared of criminal conspiracy, the American people need to be told how the Obama administration rationalized illegal spying on political rivals during a presidential election.

And Barr has said he will investigate criminal activity by the Obama administration.

Just like they are with Trump, the democrats in DC are in hyper attack mode to remove Barr because many of them may well end up in prison if they fail

The dims are caught in a no win situation and have no choice but to go after Barr.

Hope he has a very effective security detail.

The same reason they hated Nixon, Reagan, the Bushes, and anyone else who dares oppose them.

Then the meme will be that Trump is just being spitefull.
Seeking revenge for the Russia collusion.

So do I. However, if the worst should happen Trump will appoint a replacement who will make them wish Barr was still around.

Why did Graham not ask about looking into the Clinton Foundation; and specifically as it relates to Uranium One?

"And Barr has said he will investigate criminal activity by the Obama administration."

Including the birth certificate?

That's what the Democrats are determined to protect forever from the Light of Truth.

That's what's lurking in the darkest depths of their collective psyche.

not MASTERMINDED, but MASTERED. The former implies that Barr planned the whole thing. The latter means that he tamed it, or got it under control.

The headline should be Democrats conspire to commit obstruction of justice.
