Attorney General William Barr is set to testify before the House Judiciary Committee Tuesday for the first time in his year-and-a-half long tenure as the nation's top law enforcement official.
Since then, outrage among Democrats on the committee has only grown over Barr's refusals to hand over documents or responses to their inquiries into episodes that they argue show clear politicization of the Justice Department under Barr's watch. "Ever since I made it clear that I was going to do everything I could to get to the bottom of the grave abuses involved in the bogus"Russiagate" scandal, many of the Democrats on this Committee have attempted to discredit me by conjuring up a narrative that I am simply the President's factotum who disposes of criminal cases according to his instructions," Barr is expected to say.
Earlier in the month Berman testified behind closed doors to the committee in detail about his ouster, raising issue -- in particular -- with how Barr sought to offer him alternative positions in the administration as a means of securing his resignation, while handing over temporary control of the office to an ally, the U.S. attorney in New Jersey Craig Carpenito as the president's permanent nominee Jay Clayton awaited confirmation before the Senate.
In May, Barr ordered the criminal case against Trump's former national security adviser to be dismissed after Barr said a separate review uncovered evidence undercutting the legitimacy of the FBI's investigation. But the district judge overseeing Flynn's case, Emmet Sullivan, did not immediately accept the DOJ's motion, and Sullivan is currently appealing an order from a panel on the higher D.C. Circuit Court that recently demanded he agree to throw out the case.
Another Nadler Dog/Pony Show. Democrats made speeches refused to allow Barr to respond. They don’t want the “Truth” to come out or the other side of the story. They were uncomfortable when videos of violent rioters were shown.
Oh look!!! I guess the assholes at Yahoo News can't censor the public on a platform they don't own. Turn back on comments in Yahoo cowards.
