Kamala Harris calls on DOJ Inspector General to probe whether Trump ordered Bill Barr to investigate his opponents after AG failed to answer during Senate hearing

Kamala Harris grilled AG Bill Barr during Wednesday's Senate Judiciary hearing

She erupted at him for not personally reviewing all the evidence underlying the Mueller report before delivering his conclusions to Congress

Harris also quizzed Barr on whether President Trump or the White House had ever asked him to investigate any of Trump's political opponents

Barr appeared flustered and failed to answer the question

Harris on Friday sent a letter to DOJ's Inspector General Horowitz asking to probe whether Trump had ever asked Barr to investigate anyone

Senator Kamala Harris is calling for the Department of Justice's Inspector General to probe whether President Trump urged Attorney General William Barr to investigate his opponents.

Harris made the request in a letter sent to Inspector General Michael Horowitz on Friday after grilling Barr on the same issue in Wednesday's Senate hearing regarding the Special Counsel Robert Mueller's Russia probe.

'In response to my questions during the [Senate Judiciary] hearing, Attorney General Barr proved unable or unwilling to state whether he had been directed to open investigations at the request or suggestion of the President or other White House officials -- an alarming response that strikes at the very heart of the rule of law and threatens to undermine the longstanding independence of the Justice Department,' she wrote in the letter.

'I request that the Office of the Inspector General investigate whether the Attorney General has received or acted upon such improper requests,' she said.

"Kamala Harris calls on DOJ Inspector General to probe whether Trump ordered Bill Barr to investigate his opponents after AG failed to answer during Senate hearing . . . "

The question is a perjury trap, and Barr was right not to answer it. The word "opponents" is so vague that it could include anyone from Deep State conspirators and leakers, which would be a legitimate thing to investigate, to sitting members of Congress, which probably would not. And a "yes" answer would immediately bring accusations of "Nixonian" behavior. Harris was trying to flip the narrative from Trump being the target and victim of partisan shenanigans to Trump being the perpetrator of partisan shenanigans.

It’s the media that is flustered.

"Barr appeared flustered

No he didn’t."

I agree. He appeared as if there were a swarm of annoying gnats buzzing around his head.

Which is pretty much what was happening. And he's a very accomplished 'swatter'...

Kamala, reportedly a full member of the Willie Brown harem, seems pretty scary (meaning beyond assertive and vindictive and arrogantly, politically aristocratic).

Kamala’s personality is that of a vile ex-wife.

He didn’t answer the question...because Harris answered it herself. One of her many annoying habits.

Harris is repulsive. She thought that getting Barr to say that he hadn’t read all of the underlying documentation was some sort of “gotcha,” but she was basically asking Barr to do the impossible and personally pore over millions of documents, to basically review Mueller’s entire investigation and body of evidence, and to do it in one week.

Harris should never be questioning anyone she is a sleazy hag...
Harris has a dirty little sex secret that is coming back to haunt her, but that’s not all. She has a long line of corrupt deals, one with Maxine Waters, that helped her get power and stay in power. If there ever was a swamp creature in Washington, D.C., it is Kamala Harris. In fact, she is the poster politician for all swamp creatures.Harris got her start in 1994 by having an affair with slimy Willie Brown, who was serving as the California Assembly Speaker and then became the mayor of San Fransico. Brown was 60 years old and Harris was 29 when their affair began. Harris was so brazen that she came out publicly as his date at his 60th birthday party, despite his wife of 36 years being in attendance.https://madworldnews.com/kamala-harris-sex-jeff-sessions/

He answered it so well, it took her two days to think up this idiotic response.

She also conflates PDJT’s “opponents” with people that have broken the law. If the two overlap that isn’t the fault of PDJT. There’s no wrongdoing for him to investigate them even if PDJT asked him to. I’d bet Barr is just doing his job anyway, noting the facts and what should be investigated.

It appears the D’s are trying to obstruct justice. Our AG might just want to point that out.

What kind of moron doesn’t understand that the reason a report is generated is so that you don’t have to review the “underlying evidence”? This woman is really stupid.

How many time did Obama have lunch/dinner/meet with Eric Holder? Many...many.

They were talking about Golf and Grandchildren?

Harris, you just called Barr a liar, a thief, and a terrorist/stalker. Do you want him to give you a kiss with a smile? After all, both have been done before. Obama having Trump investigated and you kissing someone also for gain/profit. (And other duties as assigned)
