uh, my dude, you're talking about the press reporting that members of the team were frustrated. The Senator was asking you about the letter Mueller himself sent you.

Leahy: "So if I instruct the former AG to unrecuse himself, shut the investigation down, and announce that the president did nothing wrong that's 'full cooperation?"
Barr: Where is that in the report

Barr: "The president, in terms of collusion, DID nothing wrong"
Leahy: "Collusion is not a crime" in other words, knock it off

"Mr Mueller found [Trump's] written answers to be inadeuqate...and the president never testified" but that constitutes "full cooperation" in Barr's eyes

Barr is trying to push back on Team MAGA being "receptive" to help from the Russian government. And now he's playing dumb about what help was on offer. Good lord.
"Very well done" Graham says to Leahy

I just had to stifle actual laughter as Leahy started reading what was clearly calling out his bullshit, Barr breathed SO heavily into the mic. It was an "oh shit" breath.

I always tune out during the Rs, because I feel like they are never digging into the matter at hand.

Cornyn literally just thanked Barr for agreeing to serve again as AG to restore the reputation of DOJ as not a political arm of the administration so it's opposite day I guess

None of this is funny, but I'm hitting the point where I'm just laughing because I don't know what else to do.

Hey Senator Cornyn, the Steele Dossier was ALWAYS presented as unverified raw intelligence. And please point me to anything in it that has been disproven. Go ahead. I'll wait.

Hey, Cornyn, why don't you go talk to your asshole friend Mitch about why the public didn't know about Russia while President Obama was still in office?
No Americans colluded? Uh...

You want to talk about putting a thumb on the scale for one candidate over the other? Which candidate had the world know there was an investigation into them and which one didn't?

THEY DID PROVIDE A DEFENSIVE BRIEFING TO THE CAMPAIGN. The FBI literally went to the Trump campaign and said, "Hey, be on the lookout, Russia is going to try to reach out to you." THEY ABSOLUTELY FUCKING WARNED THEM. AND THESE IDIOTS STILL DIDN'T REPORT IT.

I've said it before, but I'll say it again. Cornyn looks like my grandpa and it pisses me off to no end that he's such a fucking asshole because my grandpa was decidedly not. I'm glad he's not around to see this shitshow because I'm pretty sure it would cause him to rage stroke out.

There's a knobweasel in the House who looks exactly like our neuropsych who is so sweet and whom my kids absolutely adore and it makes me so mad. And Ron DeSantis looks like George Newbern's uglier little brother and that also makes me mad.
