On Tuesday, AG Bill Barr appeared before the House committee to answer questions about gassing peaceful Black Lives Matter demonstrators, Roger Stone and Trump’s mishandling of the coronavirus pandemic.
Rep. Eric Swalwell was able to fluster Barr by targeting Barr’s illegal interference in the sentencing of Trump Toady Roger Stone.
Rep. Jerry Nadler nailed Barr stating, “Your tenure is marked by a persistent war against the department's professional core in an apparent effort to secure favors for the President. The message these actions send is clear: In this Justice Department, the President's enemies will be punished and his friends will be protected, no matter the cost.”
Barr Lies To America Again?
Rep. Val Demings of Florida got Barr to admit that when he announced former U.S. Attorney Geoffrey Berman was "stepping down," that Berman hadn't actually agreed to do that. Proving that Barr lied to Americans.
Is Trump Getting Foreign Country Assistance In 2020 Election?
Rep. David Cicilline cornered Barr with this question, “Is it ever appropriate, sir, for the president to solicit or accept foreign assistance in an election?” Barr responded after a long pause, “It depends what kind of assistance.”
What Happened To Barr?
Barr was once hailed as a respected conservative attorney general when he served in George H.W. Bush’s administration.
Over the past year and a half, Barr has destroyed his reputation and legacy. He has repeatedly intervened in cases like the Stone case, the Michael Flynn case and last month he was caught trying to force U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York Geoffrey Berman to quit so Barr could install his stooge.
It is believed that Barr may have been trying to get control of the Ghislaine Maxwell case.
Barr’s testimony proved that he is has been acting as Trump’s enabler all along.
Rep. Nadler Tweeted, “Under my questioning, AG Barr admitted today that he discusses campaign-related matters with President Trump. Barr, who is supposed to be non-partisan in his role as the people's lawyer, has become the President's political fixer and allowed politics to infiltrate the judiciary.”
