    Doubtful, by definition, but there are certainly a few who still deserve respect from the other side..

    Damn, I thought that would be easier....:)

    I think Richard Burr has maintained a level of respect over these 2 years... Pompeo?

    Then you show me in the letter from Mueller to Barr where Mueller states he is upset with the report findings. There is no such report I am aware of. Had the Democrat not included “that it does not adequately or accurately necessarily portray the report findings” then you might have a point. But fact is no report was issued declaring a problem with his findings, or legal conclusions. He did not lie.

    The DNC has been taken over by the radical left and has a hard time winning elections therefore they have resorted to terrorism and coups. Impeaching is a Constitutional tool, but they have gone to making up false narratives to attempt it. It’s truly scary and sad

    The democrats in the house have the redacted Mueller report, and the unredacted report is available to them in a special room where classified documents can be read. They got it all so whatever Barr has done, which doesn't amount to a hill of beans, has no effect -- and Barr was not legally required to release anything.

    Bottom line for house democrats: you already got it all, shat now or get off the pot.

    You are again, completely missing the point of the report of Barr lying in the Crist exchange...

    I'll try one final time, by a quick recreation of the conversation that SHOULD have occurred between Crist and Barr... Again, this is on 4/9, BEFORE Congress knew about the existence of the Mueller letter.

    Crist (actual) - “Reports have emerged recently, general, that members of the Special Counsel’s team are frustrated at some level with the limited information included in your March 24th letter, that it does not adequately or accurately necessarily portray the report’s findings. Do you know what they’re referencing with that?”

    Barr (should have) - Yes, those reports are accurate. The special counsel sent me a letter on 3/27 stating he had some issues with my 4 page letter to Congress, and I submit a copy of that letter for the record. We also had a follow up phone call.

    Crist (next question, before reviewing Mueller's letter) - Can you summarize the issues the special counsel had with your 4 page letter?

    Barr (actual) - I don't know. I suspect that they probably wanted more put out, but in my view, I was not interested in putting out summaries or trying to summarize,”

    See? Barr answered the eventual follow up question BEFORE he confirmed that the SC had sent him a letter with issues. That's what Crist was searching for on 4/9. THEN Barr can honestly say that he didn't know what specific issues Mueller had with his summary, since Mueller didn't really list them out.

    Interesting, Barr could put this all to rest if he simply released a statement that says he misunderstood Crists question. I wonder if he will do that at some point.

    Ahh I see more distraction from the typical lefty mouthpieces. Let's get back on track. No collusion or conspiracy regardless of how many times you promised over the last 3 years. This attempted coup is over baby.

    The distraction is yours, attempting to move this valid topic away from Mueller's letter and Barr's potential lying to Congress to your preferred track?

    Don't I get ANY props from you guys for DEFENDING Barr on the (single specific Crist) lying charge??

    None?? Makes me sad....

    He didn’t lie. It’s all a fantasy in your head created by the same people at cnn that told you trump conspired with Russia.

    He's being accused of lying... Is your AM radio not making that clear?? You can state your case why you think he wasn't, but it's certainly out there.... Do you need links?

    Accused by the same people that claimed there was a conspiracy. These people have no credibility. The sad thing is anyone that watched the testinmony knows how absurd the claim is.

    The letter is an entirely moot now, the report has been released for all to read. And guess what? IT's OVER.

    But is he being accused of lying? Can we not agree on that simple point?

    Is Bill Barr being accused (not legally, but in public) of lying to Congress?

    Yes or No?

    I've said Barr didn't lie in response to Crist... he simply didn't respond accurately to answer the question being asked...

    Was that on purpose? I dunno...

    Which letter is moot? The Barr 4 pager? I agree... it was moot when he released it, once we found out the report was going to be released, even redacted.

    The Mueller letter? Not remotely moot, but we need to hear from Mueller the details of what he was referencing... and we shall in May.

    You don't send a letter to the AG telling him "you nailed it"....

    Which testimony? The April 9th or Wednesday??

    When we watched the April 9th testimony, we didn't know Mueller had sent a letter, so there was no claim of lying.

    He didn't lie, the accusations notwithstanding, and the letter and the Barr letter too is a moot point now, we have the full report. No collusion, no obstruction, no indictments. It's over. And we knew from the getgo Barr was going to release as much of the report as he could do so legally and he did. He said that in the letter I believe but certainly in his first appearance. And HE DIDN"T HAVE TO, as he said he went outside the law and the DOJ SC rules to do so.

    Both letters are moot points now, the report has been released.

    No, there wasn't.... he misunderstood the question, and if he'd come out and say that, the lying claims would go away (or at least until Mueller testifies).

    I suspect he'd rather face perjury claims than claim he didn't understand a multi-layered question.

    That's just a mind set I don't understand....

    There's nothing wrong with being wrong....
