Attorney General Barr declines to testify before House panel Thursday, says Judiciary Committee aide

By Rachael Bade Rachael Bade Congressional reporter Email Bio Follow May 1 at 5:43 PM BREAKING: Barr has been in a dispute with the committee over its plans to have a counsel question the top law enforcement offical alongside lawmakers on the panel at Thursday’s hearing. This story will update.

Lawmakers and officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to freely discuss private deliberations, cautioned that no final decision has been made. Barr has until the end of the day to hand over the full Mueller report but is not expected to comply. The discussions about contempt for Barr follows the disclosure that Mueller challenged the attorney general’s handling of the report on Russia interference in the 2016 election. The news reverberated in the House, with Democrats accusing Barr of perjuring himself in testimony to Congress.

House Majority Leader Steny H. Hoyer told reporters Wednesday that Barr’s handling of the Mueller report is a “very serious matter” and that it appeared he made untrue statements to Congress. In light of Mueller’s concerns about Barr’s summary of the report and his expected refusal to turn over the full report, the House panel might push for contempt of Barr even if he shows up Thursday.

“It appears that the attorney general may have perjured himself and given false testimony to Congress and he may be well advised to resign and seek legal counsel,” said Rep. Hank Johnson , another Judiciary member.

Liberal steam is a great source of energy for AOC. Burns no CO2 but the downside is the left is creating solid Methane in their britches. They cannot control what comes next.

Here's a clue..watch CNN from yesterday

Harris..Scared Him ?

Hold him contempt!!

I think trump bribes him big mac.

ConstitutionalCrisis DisbarBarr ImpeachBarr IndictTrump

Nixon’s Attorney General, John Mitchell, was convicted and went to prison for perjury, conspiracy and obstruction of justice.* History is about to repeat itself. *Thank you BeschlossDC for this information.

Democrat trap- they ain’t got nothing America wants to hear!

Contempt of Congress means he should be handcuffed and marched off to prison. This is not a dictatorship banana republic, he works for the taxpayers and so does donald trumptard they both need to be impeached and removed.

No more pony shows. Waste of time. Just democrat grand standing making statements asking almost no questions and the ones they did ask were ridiculous.

Butthurt communist democrat party Tell Susan Rice to testify If a Democrat refuses to appear before Congress, its inconsequential If Congress is trying to get Barr to to act as his puppet and he refuses, contempt Open forum of coercion..right in front of the public eye

Since when is it an option to deny testifying to Congress?

Hold him in contempt. Stop playing politics with these people. If you’re not gonna 💩 get off the pot.

After the way he was treated Wednesday I would not go near the House.

Clearly Barr misrepresented the report.He was there to be trump personal attorney not an AG because trump did things worth hiding.

Because BarrIsChicken

Enough witch trials

“House Panel” in this case does not mean Congress. The dems want their lawyers to ask questions. That’s not what he agreed to. I wouldn’t go either. Do change the rules in the middle of the game. That’s what children do. growupdems

Hard to believe that ANY Lawyer let alone an Attorney General would say that a defendant or a president can refuse to cooperate because they feel they were falsely accused ... Does that mean I dont have to go to traffic court next week? This guy should be running a Walmart in Al

Hold him down n contempt! Send his ass to jail!

That’s because Daddy Warbucks told him not to go.

Guilty as hell

VoteBlueNow Traitor

Find him in contempt, send him to jail, impeach him and keep him in jail.

He took on Harris and Hirono because he had Graham no way he would survive AOC. Make him do it

He has his rights

Awesome. He clearly has had just about enough of the Democrats' pathetic childish tantrums.

The democrat goat rodeo has to stop. Their obstruction of government is detestable. Do they do any real work?

He doesn't have to.

Barr: “They scare me.”

Contempt of Congress. $100,000, one year in jail.

Big surprise

Bock, bock, bock🐔🐔🐔

ImpeachBarrAndtRump

Ah, an AG that afraid to defend his actions

I don't blame him. Who would want to deal with that circus? The Democrats don't care about the truth. They just want to grandstand for the left while slandering Barr and lying about the report.

He will join Eric Holder in esteemed Company.

What do you expect from a liar? The crazy and fake AG knows that he will never be able to answer those lawyers correctly. He's afraid, because he knows the Republicans cannot protect him there. I wasn't surprised to see him on live TV lying to the American people.

Coward

AG Barr should be arrested.

No balls.

Lock. Him. Up.

Guilty are afraid, he is worried, could be torn into shreds much like mince meat

When will WaPo learn it's lesson for spewing their Anti-America rhetoric? Hoping the Sandman lawsuit puts them out of business. EnemyOfThePeople

Impeach his lying fat ass. Thank you.

GOOD!

Now do a story on Eric Holder. EricHolder. We haven’t forgotten what Obama’s wingman did.

This is Barr’s hand signal for wanting to use his “phone a friend” lifeline.

😾

What is William Barr so afraid of that he won’t testify tomorrow Is it because Dirty Donny won’t be there to hold his hand

1,2, Nancy’s is coming for you. 3,4 better lock your door, 5,6, grab your crucifix, 7,8 better stay up late. 9,10 Never sleep again. Running scared?

Get out! While You Can! Your Not A Hero, JUST Another Trader. .IMPEACH HIS ASS!

May I ask, “Who needs him?”

Naturally.

RepJerryNadler how long are you giving Barr? 18 months. There is letting room here.

iamwomanIROAR Considers! 😡😡😡 I would think his refusal is a slam dunk act of contempt. Lock him up! ImpeachBarr Resist ResignBarr

Boy I wanted to slap him today!

Coward! Barr should be impeached and disbarred!!

Wait for a subpoena

He looks like a man who bent the knee at 1600 Penn.

Why to say exactly what he already said? He did his job and if you don't like it call your reps and tell them to move foward with impeachment just stop scapegoating.

Subpoena him and if he still refuses put him in jail. Trump has executive privilege...he doesn’t

Enough of Trump’s schill. Let’s hear right from Robert Mueller. He has credibility and the Trust that Barr never will have. I can’t imagine what is left to do after schilling for Trump.

Good.

I remember him stating 'I don't need this job at this point in my career' when asked what kind of AG he would be at confirmation hearings. Maybe he needs contempt or subpoena to escape already

He's a liar. He and Trump are soulmates.

Do you wonder if Barr’s behavior has something to do with his children and son in law?

America deserves better , this is disgraceful for the American Judicial System. Barr should resign .

Put him in jail for contempt.

He’s a chickenshit.

Agreed

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.! Enough of this dog and pony BS show..!!

Guilty people never volunteer to be questioned.

I'm really hoping to be surprised by his subpoena being more likely than his testimony was. Who thinks HouseDemocrats have the stones?

Outstanding jog AG outstanding 🇺🇸

Is this Legal?

Arrogant weasel

Democrats must follow the rules of law.

PurlLeslie He’s a coward. Kamala owned him today.

Accountability. Ha! Democracy. HA!

Good.

Look at the hours/months/years Hillary Clinton testified!

He found out that lying has its limits.

William Barr is the perfect man for the job. He is methodical, attentive, calm and rides the storm of chaos with the demeanor of a man who knows he is standing on the side of truth. It is evident that former Obama officials know that and fear it. Barr has taken charge.

You are an employee of the citizens of this country.

Outrageous partisan responses from the AG. Surely time to debar Barr

Throw his ass in jail

Straight out of the Steve Martin playbook. Tell them “no, thank you, or I forgot”.

Arrest him!

Lies + corruption + greed + racism + unpatriotic = GOP

If today’s antics were any indication of how Dems would act then I don’t blame him. Waste of time to answer questions from people who will call you a liar no matter what the facts are or how you answer the “questions”.

contempt

I’m William Barr and I am a stooge.

He had a difficult time in a committee dominated by Republicans. In the House it's the Democrats who are in charge. More difficult.

This is insane. Impeach him and the other idiot now!

Lock his ass up!

Can anyone in trump administration be a bigger douche than barr? There has to be a quid quo pro

LeslieLee327 Maybe he needs a wardrobe change?

He looks tired or bored. Isn’t this exhausting, trying to keep the story straight, you must be bored by now it’s so redundant.

The only thing worse than a coward is a slippery coward.

John Mitchell is alive!

Next up...Mueller

I’d rather have a root canal than have to testify in front of those Dimwits in Congress who have all their ? written out by their staffs.

Testifying in Senate and refusing House indicates how partisan TheJusticeDept has become. True obstruction at realDonaldTrump direction. An AG in contempt of Congress will lose at SCOTUS.

Chickenshit

Because these are the actions of an Administration that has nothing to hide. SubpoenaBarr SubpoenaMueller ImpeachBarrandTrump

You can’t please a bunch of children that are spoiled.

Jail him

What’s become of you, AG Barr? Had faith you were more professional, more interested in serving the Constitution. Cannot describe what you’ve turned into... it’s so puzzling. It’s almost soap opera-like. Are you hiding a better you? 😳

So much to hide for Mr. innocent, I wouldn't either if my sole job was protecting the president. ImpeachmentHearings

No it doesn’t increase anything. This is just kavanaugh 2.0 Democrats haven’t done a fucking thing in over a year and they will just ride out all this harassment of our AG or whoever else while using tax payer money to accomplish nothing for the American people. Pathetic!

Since AG is in the position to exemplify law, can we grant American public the same right to pick non attorney to ask them questions in court, and the same right to skip court if they want to?

Yabba Dabba won’t.

And why should he subject himself and his office to another democrat Kavanaugh style hearing? Only thing the democrats hope to gain is election fodder for 2020 as they have no record tonrun on.

I would to , time to move on u Deplorables Democrats, Trump 2020

STOOGE

Don’t blame him today was ridiculous.

Subpoena him. If he still refuses, hold him in contempt. And use Inherent Contempt so the Sergeant at Arms can arrest and detain him until he testifies.

T We as Americans are paying for this behavior

He is using the Trump playbook of ignore, avoid and never apologize. My guess is Trump instructed him to do so. For an AG of the US to refuse to testify to a house of Congress is truly unprecedent. Hold him in contempt.

If he refuses to meet, let him sit in jail and think it over if it's worth defending Trump!

'declines to testify' ? WAPO - he refused a lawful order. Out here in America, a cop would taser you and beat you half to death for that.

Throw his butt in jail.

Find him in contempt. Lock him up. He is not trump’s personal lawyer. He is supposed to be representing the American people. He was so condescending to those reasonable democrats asking very pointed questions.

He is such a liar, he clearly drank the trump cool aide

After the re-run of the Kavanaugh hearings today, why would he? I was expecting Harris, Booker or Blumenthal to drag out Christine Blasey Ford to accuse AG Barr of raping her.

Oh noooo, what liberals are going to do?

Good for him.

Why should he, it’s nothing more than a clown show with no civility on part of Democrats.

Subpoena?

Barr is a Trump's newest lapdog. Trump is dirty, evil and encourages hatred and violence. Barr's an epic failure as AG and should be impeached along with DT.

Not a big shock after the shit show he put on today.

🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔

Its past time for Impeachment Proceedings against barr and trump SpeakerPelosi is standing in the way JerryNadler is standing in the way LeaderHoyer is standing in the way True leadership RepMaxineWaters SenWarren KamalaHarris maziehirono HouseJudiciary OversightDems

Not his circus not his monkeys

How is coward spelled? BillBarr

Contempt of Congress? You mean like Holder and no consequences? Oh well.

They've got NOTHING from Barr or Mueller, there was no reason for today's charade other than a smear & 'gotcha' campaign let alone anything further.

No surprised there, he is a liar and a fraud. All the folks that thorough they knew him and admired him must be licking their wounds now, now they know he is a fraud of the worst kind; a traitor to the Constitution.

Lock his ass up!!!!

“When push comes to shove, the administration cannot dictate the terms of our hearing in our hearing room,” Committee Chair Jerry Nadler told reporters. He said the panel would meet as planned & added, “I hope and expect that the AG will think overnight & will be there as well.”

Don't blame him at all!

'In one testy exchange, Barr even suggested that Mueller’s opinion on how he handled the report didn’t matter anyway. “It was my baby,” Barr said.' Since he will lose a debate based on FACTS, He's framing it as a battle of egos... A measuring contest. All while RUSSIA WATCHES.

Has he run out of lies?

Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, James Comey, James Clapper, John Brennan, Adam Schiff, Peter Strzok, Christopher Steele, Bruce Ohr, Susan Rice, Samantha Power, Andrew McCabe, Valerie Jarrett, Sally Yates and Lisa Page must be thinking: AG Barr knows what we did!

Barr is trash

Coward 🐤🐥🐤

No one seriously expected AG Barr to sit before a Democratically- controlled House and get drilled until the sweat from his brow flowed like drops of blood. He can be held in contempt of Congress.

Does this mean he is failing to acknowledge there is three branches of government?

I believe he is tired of the Democrats shit

This guy is slippery - untrustworthy, arrogant and very, very slippery.

Why should he & what else do you want from the man? He did nothing wrong....followed the law....& released the report including Mueller's summaries.

Barr is upset because of Kamala Harris tough questions

Well, he's working for the boss and sure enough, a biased witness for the wh! Why should he appear before the House? Just like his boss, chooses to snub the House.

Hold him in contempt! Then lock him up!

The Dems, are sure bent on the destruction of our country! Who paying for their scorched earth politics bill. Their all or nothing tactics will come to roost someday! 2020?

Coward

coward

Impeach him!

Remember when the Post got all over Holder for refusing congress....oh that's right, they didn't.

After today when Democrats made false claims instead of asking questions, who can blame him. Then Democrats say they want to let their staff ask the questions? Bye Bye Felicia!!!

Good for him don’t play their game

So Congress doesn't want to do the questioning.....well that is their job....

Just like everyone else in Trump's regime. Cowards every last one of them ImpeachBarr BarrHearing BarrLied GOPtraitors

Please do so.

What's he scared of?

Consider

Nice, top law enforcement official in the country won't appear . . .what next?

JoseyRider The truth IS going to come out no matter how many mob tactics you use realDonaldTrump gop

Deliver report on Wednesday, it actually means Friday, or whenever? There’s a time for political protocol, for committees, everything in it’s proper time and place. The dealing is done! Now is the time for all Good Men and Women to come to the aid of the People impeachmentnow

This strikes me as a cowardly reaction by a man who for unknown reasons is the second coming of Roy Cohn.

I guess he doesn't understand that the Constitution gives Congress oversight authority for the federal bureaucracy and that includes him.

Impeach him! He works for me, I pay his salary.

Ah yes. The left wants everybody and their brother charged with something when it disagrees with their narrative. The dems are on the road to hell.

Hard to wrap your head around that this man is the attorney general...he’s really just trumps attorney. Get rid of all of them

Sen. Kamala Harris on Hardball just now talking about Lying Barr calling Robert Mueller's Report, 'His Baby', Chris Matthews then says, 'Well if it's his baby, then Who's the Daddy?' Lawd🤣The Daddy, is Robert Mueller.

Whelp, time for congress to call his bluff

Well either they put up or shut up. Dems, you talk loud, but, follow up. This guy is laughing in your face.

I would refuse too, it’s a dog and pony show and idiots like Harris make it worse

Good for him. No need in another leftist witch hunt.

Don't further Mnuchin.

Subpoena.

Face it. Perjury and evasion are exhausting.

They should go there right now and arrest him.

Obstruction

Why should he? He did his job. Would anyone submit to that idiotic Abuse

Arrest him and throw him in jail.

Arrest that traitor!!

Subpoena. Contempt of Congress. Leavenworth.

impeachBarr

Hmmm. Hillary say for 11 hours for house committee. Didn’t complain. Didn’t refuse. Resign Barr

Subpoena him & if he doesn’t show charge him in contemp & arrest him. He’s just a trump flunky who’s also breaking laws on a daily basis. Dems have to stop thinking of this as Miss Manners deals with the Criminals. All of u grow a pair & do your job! HouseDemocrats

Here we go subpoena subpoena subpoena

He's a worthless witness. Time to move on to Mueller and catch Barr later. We have many miles yet to go.

He’s all lied out. This is unbelievable, he sounds like Trump’s lawyer. That’s not his job.

Lock him up

Smart man‼️

Lock him up

I’m sure he’s quivering. You people and the rest of your partisan colleagues will soon know that the TRUTH always eventually comes out. May Lady Justice be unmerciful to the traitors behind the attempted coup of an American President! POTUS

Good for him, someone needs to be the adult and stop this circus

Can we de-bar Barr?

JUST GODDAMN DO IT .... DON'T CONSIDER.....JUST DO!

He’s a liar

ContemptOfCongress ContemptOfCongress ContemptOfCongress

Every defense attorney in the United states should refuse to have their client answer questions by counsel.

Charge HIM with obstruction!

He is afraid.

Hey Dens, don’t chicken out on this; Barr is daring you, betting you’ll let him slide. Please, show him you mean business and take action. Remember you were elected to clean up this fucked up admjnistration!

Good for Barr!!!

decline? can i do that if i ever need to do that? is this “rule” for everybody? if not... LOCK HIM UP LOCK HIM UP LOCK HIM UP LOCK HIM UP LOCK HIM UP LOCK HIM UP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Please subpoena him

Guess Barr feels he doesn’t have to answer to the representatives of the voters ! Classic Trump attitude.

How is he allowed to decline ?

The Washington Post and the Democrats have created a imaginary industry based on Russian collusion and it's all a hoax!

As I just said, Barr is a servant of the people, he needs to testify to our representatives.

Trump should just give him executive privilege, like 44 did for Holder.

Democrats showing their true colors! Resist Resist Resist, this shit is getting old. Time to investigate the Democrats. What are the Dems hiding?

Subpoena him! Hold him in account! This corrupt administration should be held accountable!

Subpoena-cuffs-jail (be kind and offer rolly polly soap-on-a-rope)

They will ask questions I’m afraid to answer. For the life of me I can’t understand why anyone would want to share a jail cell with Trump

Barr is a disgrace Of course he's going to run 🏃and hide

Resign immediately.

Considering? Do it!

Trump always wins. What an embarrassing day to be a democrat

Huh, wonder why that is. Run out of lies to spin, Billy? Or just not up for looking like a clueless stooge for a second straight day?

Barr is tellin tha 'House' Phuck Y'all, actually He sayin it to tha People!!!!!

Good for him

Good!! We don't need to hear Democrats regurgitate the same questions.

IBS acting up again?

Cry babies

Oh you can just decline? That’s dope, who knew?

ACT on this! You must hold these people accountable legally! They are riding over the law and this is the last chance to save your democracy!

Is that an option?

Do not need more theatre. Sick and tired of these democrats that JUST want to show off themselves, have NO CONCERNS FOR PEOPLE.

Unbelievable? Clear the swap? Yeah I guess it depends which party line ur associated with. Disgraceful

Drag him out of the house in his pj’s and make him testify

guilty as guilty can get! Treasonous SOB should be behind barrs.

Of course lol. Guilty man doing guilty man things.

Hiding liar

Hirono is sickingly disguisting

You have a pathological liar in the President who scared to testify, and now an attorney general becoming a pathological liar as well and is scared of question . These cowards are who graham is on his knees kissing ass all the time for

arrest this motherfucker now

It's disgraceful how Barr was treated and shows the democrats are running scared - they know Trump will win in 2020!!!

So since he has declined to do his job, when do we decline to pay him or give him an office?

History will remember William Barr, Kavanaugh Supreme Court Justice use the same defense drunken I don't remember defense. Our lawmakers LOL

'THREE things that CANNOT hide for long: The Moon, The Sun and The TRUTH.' - Guarana Buddah

Does he know that Kamala Harris will not be there? This could help him accepting. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

a_fly_guy RepJerryNadler stop wringing your hands over what to do. Subpoena, if not complied with, hold in contempt and throw them in jail. DEMS SHOULD BE CONTROLLING THE NARRATIVE not the treasonous repugnicants

Barr will be always remembered as the using the Kavanaugh defense. LOL the drunken don't remember defense and that's Attorney General

That is a load of MANURE. Barr is about to clean house with these deep state traitorous democrats who WERE the collusion behind trying to upend the 2016 elections. It’s going to be fun watching the shit storm that is approaching DC. Stay Tuned Folks! MAGA

Subpoena his ass. Then hold him in contempt.

Trump was happy with his performance today, there will be no encore. Please leave by the exits.

Good for Barr, enough is enough. No crime, no collusion, no obstruction, no progress by the socialist Democrats on real issues.

Right there is enough obstruction...

Good for him.

This is the moment RepJerryNadler SpeakerPelosi If you do not act swiftly and confidently in arresting Barr on not showing America as we know it dies.

After the liberal clown show today I dont blame him.

He’s scared. He knows that America knows he’s lying and how foolish he looks.

The de facto head of TheJusticeDept and the quest for the fraud of the century?👇😂

Subpoena him or just plain arrest his but.

Don’t consider it Do it

Subpoena Barr if he doesn’t appear, hold his Ass in contempt and lock him up!

Only in America. White men can not police other White men. It's like the NYPD investigating itself. EricGarner AnthonyBaez EleanorBumpurs

Would like to see Barr punished for his treacherous deeds.

The Republican Party no longer cares about protecting the Rule of Law!

I guess after today’s hearing his lie-betis is acting up?!

Yes cause why should he be ask questions from the Senators staff

Heh heh

Barr Behind Bars

Because he is lying

Barr going to dinner with Trump tonight, all like

Who locks him up?

How long did Hilary testify for a hostile Congress?

His lies are catching up to him and he can't handle the heat.

He needs to be held in contempt of Congress and jailed. Congress must show they are in charge of oversight.

Only the best liars. IMPEACH William Barr.

Impeach him already

He would only lie anyway.

toilettweetage I hope he is going to the doctor tomorrow after his near-stoke today.

Lock his ass up

Why don’t you guys get Mueller to testify first then you can dubpoena Barr

Subpoena then jail

Why should he. He is a cabinet level official. He shouldn’t have to submit to questioning by staff. Be adults and ask your own questions Democrats. Holder refused to testify and nothing happened. What’s good for the goose...

LOCK HIM UP

RUNNING SCARED. AG with no guts.

realDonaldTrump Barr knows that he lied and don’t want to be told again that he lied..one good thing about the truth is you can always tell it the same way every time but a lie will cause you to stubble,lose your mind( no remembrance) wrestle with words and make you look stupid

Warren Schumer Harris Booker and all the rest of those demonicrats need to fond other jobs. They’re holding up progress and their hate fueled comments are villaneous

Sickening...

What a great example of upholding the law.

Because he is a corrupt liar.

I say LOCK HIM UP! He deserves to be locked up along with TRUMP AND HIS FAMILY AND MINIONS!

He is out smarting the democrats. Nicely played

He is not above the law subpoena him and hold him in contempt none of us would get away with this crap

I'm shocked, shocked I tell you... Not really. What a wuss.

Mel4Justice Don’t consider it, just DO IT! Now!

Somebody had a bad day 😏 But really good effort at trying to cover up the coverup Mr. Barr. You probably only perjured yourself a few dozen times. It’s okay to be scared of the House.

Gee, Barr, can’t handle the truth coming out?

Wow how strange

Lol considering, get mad have a news conference demand something and do nothing because the life of every Senator every Congressman is actually pretty comfortable so why risk anything

I don’t blame you the way they treated you this afternoon especially with the classic response (I’ll take that as a no) and their cutting you off so you couldn’t respond I don’t blame you I wouldn’t either

Golden888Karma Lock him up.

Let's get this trending: SubpoenaButterJellyTime

HOLD HIM IN CONTEMPT! He should not be allowed to testify just to those bodies he considers friendly. DEMOCRATS NEED TO HOLD HIM ACCOUNTABLE!!!

❄️

Not only is he a crook, he is a coward. Move to Mueller.

BarrCoverUp continues

Impeachment hearings really are the only option at this point. Trump is not leaving House Dems with much choice.

Subpoena. Don’t show up after that, jail & fined. Personally I think he should be tarred and feathered. How dare he even imply that what Trump did was no big deal. They wouldn’t be acting this way if this was a democrat. It didn’t even seem like he read the report.

After today's character assassination parade, he shouldn't give them the time of day. Disgusting performance by the democrats.

Time to get him out, waste of space that liar is

I think I DESPISE him just as much as trump.

BarrIsInContemptOfCongress Make it trend.

FUCK DEMOCRATS. They are covering for their crimes and trying to discredit ANYONE who is on a path to expose them.

Good, democrats are deranged with witch hunts. They lost 2016 and will again in 2020

Subpoena Barr’s ass!

CowArd

Why bother with him....he’s all smug lies and snarky evasion.

subpoenaBarr

So he's a chicken, just like realDonaldTrump

Maybe he wants to get some work done. That hearing today was a circus, put on by the liberal clowns! When will the real investigations begin?

This pisses me off, reduced to chin wagging in support of, not just any government agent, but the actual Man in TheMan, Inc.newleftstasi please recede and recalibrate. In my view you went for it at least 15 years too soon.

JUST DO IT!

Good!

And here I was so looking forward to an encore.

If you watched all of it today, nothing but another Dem 💩 show like the fake Kavenaugh hearing. DemocratsAreDestroyingAmerica

Oh My! So flitty of him! 🤔

Barr is old news. Forget him. Get another witness moved into his spot & carry on. RepJerryNadler

A liar and a wimpy snowflake. He's already lied enough to the American People. He's a Team Russia mouthpiece and I'm sick and tired of this GOP Trumphole.

Let my fingers to the walking through the YelloW Pages GEORGE WA-LKER BUSH GWB William BARR'S nONE SBN The Web that is world wide

barr can be found hiding under his blankie, licking his wounds

Total shill

enough talking, it’s time democrats call republicans bluff.

Barr is reading the MULLER report not his report. MULLER himself said there was no collusion!!! Yall are drinking the koolaid!

TheJusticeDept AG Barr is digging himself a deep hole of obfuscation, obstruction, perjury. This will follow him to future. No one gets away it. If you have to hide it, you should not have done it. It will eat you at death and after that you will pay. It will be very painful.

LOCK. HIM. UP!!!

Subpoena the MF Bill Barr is such a spineless coward ImpeachTrump TheJusticeDept realDonaldTrump HouseJudiciary

LockHimUp

He’s lying, he committed perjury before congress, Republicans don’t care, he’s trumps lawyer, not any AG ! He had such disdain for Muellers report,calling it snippy ! And Mueller is supposed to be his longtime pal ? Barr is power hungry with the position of AG, this is dangeous

Billy boy has stuff to hide

Why spend another day with these loons?

HouseDemocrats SUBPOENA BARR!!!!!

Nice 👍

Here we go. Barr testing the waters. RepJerryNadler time to subpoena AG Barr. BarrLied

Don’t “consider”, just freaking DO IT! Stop playing nice with these guys!

I mean, a big day like today, after WEEKS filled with not reading reports, examining evidence, or researching legal arguments? And then you add in the reality denying, which takes TIME! What do you people expect of this man? He is not super human. Please just give him a day off!

Sen. Harris showed him what real strength & integrity looks like & now he’s afraid because he knows we know he’s Complicit. BarrIsComplicit ImpeachBarr ImpeachTrump ImpeachBarrAndTrump

Most sitting in Congress are attorney’s why won’t they ask the questions

When you get treated like crap ,from people that have no brains , they don’t have the right to have him , in the arena again !!!!!!

Did that Po💩 feel the heat today! Its a real bytch move to hide from the House!

Because Democrats in the Congress have suggested that their staff would have him and not the elected representatives

Barr is in contempt and beneath contempt.

Ok DEMS...! Get the WARRANT OUT and Get the SERGEANT-AT-ARMS to go and get him. DEMS.. YOU NEED TO GROW SOME...!

Is Barr confusing transparency with with not showing up?

Mueller Time to testify MSNBC CNN nytimes

He’s scared.

Criminal....a whole nest...that’s what happens when foreign governments are allowed and encouraged to interfere in our elections. GOP realDonaldTrump

I hope Barr starts an investigate on the corruption within the demacrat party.

Is anyone surprised?

ImpeachBarr

Declines? Refuses.

I hope that Barr declines to testify. The Democrats are terrible people. They can't accept the outcome of the election.

Just like trump, he can’t handle being questioned.

Of course he's not. He saw how today went. Just toss his butt out already. he should be disbarred asap ImpeachBarrNow LockBarrUp

Good enough of this circus

He looked like a horses arse today. I can't believe he really hasn't read all the evidence from the report. I mean, dude, you've had two months and not much else of import going on so?

Then it'll be like when Eric Holder was in contempt of Congress during Gast & Furious scandal. What happened to him? Nothing. In other words, it's completely meaningless.

Good for him! I couldn’t stand to hear idiot democrats asking the same questions and wondering in amazement why he gave the same answers!! The game is up! Time to start rolling out the indictments!!!!

what’s to consider, barr lied and lied and lied and lied, hold him in contempt of Congress NOW IndictBarr ImpeachBarr

OF COURSE HE DID...

karenaboylan trump won't help you, Barr

Someone is scared.

Fresh out of lies to tell.

Do it, hold him in contempt. He needs to be impeached and disbarred.

HE MUST BE REMOVED IMMEDIATELY

*expresses shock, and faints, in English.*

Scared.

Why am I not surprised!

Subpoena Barr. If he doesn’t show, hold the SOB in contempt!

Oh now he’s snitty because he doesn’t want to answer the questions about his misleading information he needs to be held in contempt he is not above the law taxpayers pays him not president trump earnings he works for America not trump towers maybe he’s confused where he works

LOCK HIM UP LOCK HIM UP LOCK HIM UP

Hold him in contempt!

What's the guilty Barr hiding

Democrats showing collective spine? I'll believe when I see it. No, scratch that. I'll believe after I see it, it's extensively documented, and enough time has passed to make it clear that I'm not hallucinating.

I don't blame Barr.

After his performance today it’s clear why. He would get eaten alive. They’re scared 💩-less.

Lock him up!

Fine. He can send Mueller instead. Do we really want to hear more from this guy?

Contempt of Congress Barr

He should be immediately held in contempt and arrested

He should be held in contempt

As the world turns in the American Kingdom, my stomach turn BarrMustResign ImpeachTrumpNOW

Considers!!!!? Lock him up!!

Because he did SO flawlessly well today. In the America I used to know he wouldn't be AG tomorrow.

This man is a snake. A really really great lawyer, but he's obviously there to protect Trump. He can't be trusted at all. The Senate hearing confirmed that.

What is surprise. After getting pummeled by Kamala Harris there’s no way he wants to face more questioning by actual attorneys

Subpoena the fixer.

Democrats need to get a grip on this lawless administration. Make him do it!

After today’s drubbing, he is running scared.

Not Surprised

No big surprise there. After he got grilled by a few Sen DEMS today and made to look like the putrid liar he is, he was not going to get it again even worse in the House. No hold him in contempt. The public does anyway.

Good for him fuk them guys

Subpoena Barr then!

Subpoena him.

To be fair, the Democrats are asking difficult questions and he really doesn’t want to perjure himself.

Send the sergeant at arms to bring him before the committee

Time for contempt of Congress and, if the world were fair, arrest and custody.

He’s just like his traitor in chief, a whinylittlebitch don’t you think, billmaher

What a coward

Yeasss slap him with contempt. Enough of this dodge/deflect/deny bs

His lying quota for the decade was reached today so he can’t testify.

Dems are considering it! We're saved!

Dems should place a big puppet of Barr in his chair...ask the questions. ImpeachBarrAndtRump RepublicansForBiden RepublicansForImpeachment

Bring it RepJerryNadler

🐱

Oh man, I wonder why? Did he have a rough time testifying today?

Stop fucking considering things and just do it. He is in contempt if he doesn’t show up. Charge him with it. I’m so tired of weak Democrats saying they are considering action. FUCKING DO SOMETHING!

Thank god. He has actual work to get done, which is why we pay him.

Don’t even wait. Subpoena his ass! He can testify to the Senate but not the House ?! Bullshit.

What do you mean considering! Be like Nike and JUST DO IT! Damn this ain’t rocket science! For God sake get some damn backbone!

COWARD

Send him a subpoena, and if he’s a no show...send in sergeant at arms...in the meantime, subpoena Mueller PRONTO.

Good. The Democrat traitors shouldn't be bothered with

Imagine that

Because he’s gutless. Some of the Senators were mean to him today.

He is a p🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈y

The FBI needs to confiscate his passport, he’s about to flee to Russia

Subpoena NOW

Add demand for his notes in the subpoena and all evidence of brides he took from trump or Russia.

Seems snitty.

Who cares. Just more lies to tell. We want Mueller

Give him a subpoena

Yet another aspect of the Fox-ification of the Trump administration, as the AG will only be interviewed by audiences controlled by allies (i.e., the GOP Senate).

I guessing RepJerryNadler will express his concerns.

You scared, bro? My gosh, hope you all realize the GOPNoLongerBelievesInTheConstitution

Subpoena him

Hallelujah

What's there to consider? Just do it.

How shameful ... the US AG is afraid to face the same format a private citizen (Dr Ford) endured for hours...

He just chickend out

BRING KAMALA OVER AND LET HER DO IT... 🤔

'We haven't waived executive privilege,' Bill Barr says. 'WE.' How is this not a clear admission as to who his client is? It's NOT the USA - it's TRUMP. Barr is his long-sought Roy Cohn. Surely this can't stand. GOP=GobblingOrangePoop. LowBarr BarrMustResign BarrHearing
