The most astounding thing Barr said before the Senate on May 1, 2019, was that he “didn’t personally review all the underlying evidence in the Mueller report”. He was asked by Senator Kamala Harris, “if Deputy AG Rosenstein had, or if any of their staff had? Barr answered, ‘No, we accepted it all as accurate”. Wow! Well, he’s not acting as if he accepts all that Mueller put forth! So with this ploy, ‘not being familiar with what’s in the report’, Barr gets off not answering to the discrepancies between what he’s arguing and what Mueller conscientiously constructed from facts, testimonies and evidence. Barr was tapdancing, splitting hairs, talking around everything, acting as if he didn’t understand the questions he was asked, denying, refuting. doubling down on “No Collusion”. Then he argued with Senator Blumenthal’s characterization that Barr had basically cleared Trump; he said that he “didn’t exonerate Trump”. I’m reminded of the overweight Senator dancing in “Best Little Whorehouse in Texas” movie, except that THAT actor was good and funny.
Mueller wrote a letter to Barr, for the record, that Barr “did not fully capture the context, nature and substance of his report”, when giving his ‘opinion’ about the report, initially. Mueller wrote that, “there is now public confusion about critical aspects of the results of our investigation. This threatens to undermine a central purpose for which the Department appointed the Special Counsel to assure full public confidence in the outcome of the investigations”. Barr said Muller’s letter to him “was a bit snitty; one of his aides probably wrote it”. Even though Barr, throughout his earlier career, has tried his best to counter accusations against prior Republican presidents, this stint might undo him. “Everything that Trump touches …. turns to crap!” James Comey said that Trump, “eats the souls of the people who get close to him and agrees to be on ‘Team Trump’. He continued, “of course to stay …. you must be seen to be on his team, then he eats your soul in small bites”
Senator Mazie Hirono called Barr out as a liar, which he is. Senator Kamala Harris said, “Barr lacks all credibility; Barr is biased and should recuse himself from the 14 other Mueller referral cases”. Senator Richard Blumenthal tried to hold him to several truths, unsuccessfully. Barr said that Trump’s “attempt to have Mueller fired was not Obstruction!” He further announced that, “a president does not need to let an investigation run its course if it is groundless and he is falsely accused; that would NOT be Obstruction”. “Everything Trump touches turns to crap!” Senator Harris directly asked Barr, “Did the president or anyone else at the White House ever suggest that you open an investigation of anyone?” Barr could not answer that query; he was struggling with the word: suggest. So, we know that’s a ‘Yes!’ Trump intends to go after his ‘political enemies’, just like Nixon’s “enemies list”. So many parallels between Nixon and Trump. Law and Order, indeed! Democrats call for AG Barr’s Resignation! John Mitchell, Nixon’s AG, was convicted on charges of conspiracy, perjury, and obstruction of justice, and served 19 months prison time.
In case you’re looking for the ‘Mueller Report’, book for sale, Walmart has it; I got my copy and will be digging in. Stay tuned: I’ll be writing on issues concerned therein. (And for those of you who haven’t yet seen the movie: ‘VICE’, go rent it and watch it! Another example of : Deep State.
