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 President’s 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.

You just proved my point in saying...”I want” it before the election. Trumps election doesn’t hinge on indictments.

It's not about Trumps' re-election depending on indictments.

It's about if Trump loses there will never be indictments.

I'll ask the question again. If Trump loses, what do you believe happens to any prospect of an investigation or indictments?

[caww]

He’s not going to lose.

And now John Durham hires all Dems ala Mueller.

Toss in Joe Biden admitting to Felonies in Video, and Hillary getting away with whatever she pleased.

Why should we believe that the Deep State is going to stop the cycle of Crimes and then Book deals?

One guy will go down, but that’s a bone they feel obligated to throw.

Every one of these peeps, from Comey to Lindsey Graham, are millionaires. The number one priority in DC is keeping the money machine going. They don’t want DC changed. Why would they?

Building Fortunes. Don’t rock the boat.

Next time, just get investigating and keep quiet about it. Drop indictments if the evidence points that way. The Dems, ever since they heard that pronouncement, of spying, have been steadily eroding the credibility of this investigation.

Great post! Patience with the real world should have been learned as kids waiting for Christmas Day.

Its naive to think long waits end with Indictments, because the opposite is true.

“Democrats of falsely seeking to paint him as a Trump loyalist”

Like that would be a bad thing. (Wasn’t Eric Holder Hussein’s self-proclaimed “wing man”?)

We certainly wouldn’t want a member of Trump’s cabinet to be loyal to him. Not at all.

...accusing Democrats of falsely seeking to paint him as a Trump loyalist and challenging them to denounce violence in Portland, Ore.

Well the first one is going to hard for Barr to do, and the second one will be hard for the Democrats to do.
