Every time I see this thread, I giggle because it looks like the beginnings of a Clinton joke.
Anyway, thanks for the live-blogging. I'm following along and cannot wait for Kamala to grill him.

NOPE. Durbin isn't having this.
Durbin points to the first page of Volume II in the Mueller report and asks how Barr can maintain that the OLC guidance didn't factor into mueller's decision not to charge Obstruction when he spends half a page talking about how he was constrained by that very opinion

why did Mike Lee just ask Bill Barr if Putin has kompromat on Trump? how would Barr know? Has he been a part of some counterintelligence investigation we don't know about? I think not

Yeah no partisanship there.

Lee looks like a sleazy pastor who is cheating on his wife with the church secretary.
I am clearly taking the high road today.

How many times do these gasbags need to be told that the FBI CI investigation was not predicated on the Steele Dossier? At least once more, apparently.

Barr can't remember when or how he found out that the press had seen Mueller's letter? BS.

Post by enchanted on May 1, 2019 9:42:57 GMT -6
He doesn't know when his office was contacted about a comment about something as significant as Mueller's letter?
Either his admin assistant is bad at his/her job or he's a liar.

I see we've reached the "I can't remember" portion of the testimony. Barr may want to get checked out if he can't remember what happened literally yesterday.

I'm watching but a few minutes behind. What drug is Lee on that he thinks Barr is restoring the integrity of the department by not being a political arm? Good Lord.
