Hirono: You write a lot about morality. You've been described as an Institutionalist (that's a good thing). But your boss is feckin crazy and morally bankrupt. So uh, how ya gonna handle that?
Barr: nah, I'm not concerned. He said No Collusion so I guess that's that

Mazie wants to know why if he is such a supporter of institutions, an institutionalist even, why would you work for a lying liar that lies?
Barr comes back using 'witch hunt' and says 45 has said he hasn't done anything. So yeah we should totally believe him.

Hirono claps back at his response about the zero tolerance policy. She's not letting him pass the buck to DHS.
Also, then what happens when DHS changes their minds about that?

Anybody coming in illegally is going to be brought up on illegal entry charges, but DHS isn't referring them.
Mazie What about visa overstays?
Barr it highlights a need for Congress to do something.

Hirono: What do you propose to do with undocumented immigrants who have been here for a long time, many of whom pay taxes?
Barr: Congress needs to do something
Hirono: So do you support the bipartisan immigration reform act we tried to pass in 2013?
Barr: I support some kind of reform
Hirono: What about the people who are already here?
Barr: That's Congress' problem

Kennedy wants to know why nobody was prosecuted for the bank implosion.
Maybe he should go talk to Liz Warren and get the CFPB back in business.

Coons: Since you won't agree to outright accept the ethics committee's recommendation on recusal, will you commit to notifying this committee when you receive their guidance and what it is?
Barr: I don't know the rules, man

Coons wants Barr to commit to letting prosecutorial decisions from the Mueller report be made public.
Barr still won't commit.

Blumenthal pivots to SDNY. "If the president fired the US Atty, would you support continuing that investigation, even under the civil servants who remain?"
Barr: Yes. Regardless of who or what outside the department is trying to influence what's going on, every decision within the department relating to enforcement must be determined independently and lawfully

except the point she misses is that undocumented people commit crimes at a far lower rate than citizens.

Barr supported a program that put Haitian asylum seekers, many of whom were HIV-Positive, in Guantanamo Bay under deplorable living conditions and left them there for 18 months. Does he still support that program?
Barr: So many boats were sinking! We were giving them asylum hearings on the ships, and then moved some of those hearings to GTMO. We were admitting 30% of asylum seekers but BILL CLINTON only admitted 5 percent! But yeah, we forcibly sent them back to Haiti. We're good Christians, you know.

so the GTMO situation was the same as the tent cities at the border. We can't process asylum seekers quickly enough that we can reasonably care for these people.
