"Not having a wall also has an effect on law enforcement." Ok. I'm done with this dude. It would be interesting to go back and compare his behavior here to his first AG confirmation hearing back in 1991. I'll do it

yes, Lindsey, the president covering up evidence is obstruction of justice.
Barr's argument is that firing somebody doesn't satisfy the obstruction of justice criminal statute as it stands right now

back to Hawley. He's concerned that issuing nationwide injunctions is judicial overreach and that it's happening with increasing frequency.
Barr, too, is concerned. And he's also concerned about judges weighing in on NatSec issues, especially bc the appeals process can be so lengthy.
I mean, I agree with them on that to an extent, but when you've got people stuck in airports and not allowed entry into the country.....

Whitehouse is going back to FARA and business entanglements.
What should we know about the president's business entanglements with foreign interests? That could be of note to our counterintelligence officials.
Barr: That's for financial conflict, not for counterintel
Whitehouse: Sure, but maybe we would want to know who is paying our president?

Returning to the memo
lots of words
Sheldon just needs to know that obstruction of justice, by the president or those around him, would be pursued and prosecuted
Barr is like, uhhh...I think so?

Amy's turn.
sometimes the law and the president's personal interests don't align.
Barr basically says no one is above the law

Klobuchar: What do you want to say to the fine people who chose a career serving justice who are now furloughed or working without pay?
Barr: One of the reasons I wanted to become AG is bc of the wonderful people at the Department. I luff them.

It's really something that the Democrats have conducted this hearing with the understanding that there's plenty of circumstantial evidence that Trump did Crimes, but the Republicans are acting like they're being utterly silly for thinking that

Joni makes a joke about the upward mobility on this committee, how its her first and she's chairing.
which is kinda funny.
Starts talking about election meddling from foreign entities.
