    Those are both HORRIBLE attempts to excuse Barr for his 2 lies under oath... I'm the first to admit his 4 page summary wasn't a lie, but it also certainly was misleading to the American public. I know Barr likes to split hairs, but after reading Vol 2 of the Mueller report myself, that's clear as glass.

    But also, there is no valid explanation for the 2 exchanges under oath covered in your URL. Barr made the mistake of NOT being vague and giving Yes/No answers instead, which I normally respect. However, he just picked the wrong option on those 2 occasions.

    Are those perjury, since he was under oath to Congress?? The Van Hollen exchange can go either way, but the Crist exchange is a clear indisputable lie, with what we know now. Is it a BIG lie?? No, but that's the level of acceptability we've sunk to in 2019.

    LOL!

    This hearing is a non-issue.The donks are just trying to denigrate Barr as they front run the forthcoming indictments. In doing so, they hope to lesson the impact of those indictments - as damning as they will be - on the lack of credibility of the left.

    During a House Appropriations Committee, the St. Petersburg Democrat asked: “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 said: “No, I don’t.”

    “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,” he added.

    - How is that a lie or even misleading? He doesn't know who, and he takes a guess as to what he assumes the issues are. A correct assumption

    Maybe Barr misunderstood the question... It was more than 7 words in a row... In which case, impeachment for incompetence vs perjury might be considered...

    Republicans couldn't get the votes to impeach Rosenstein. How will the (D)'s impeach Barr?

    Barr is not Obama and doesn't need Mr. Teleprompter to help him put two words together.

    "I saw my role as inherently conflicted - on the one hand, succinctly explicating Mueller's scathing, fact-fraught report
    whilst, with the other hand, gently applying a perfumed powder puff to Trump's big, flabby bum...

    Now, I shall slither under Trump's oft-promised tax returns to hide from further scrutiny."

    Mueller is a coward
    didn't have the balls to make is own decision on Obstructing so he passed the buck to Barr now wants to complain about Bars decision
    those are the acts of a coward

    No I didn't expect it to end because I know libelles have no integrity and wouldn't accept the outcome of the investigation if you didn't get what you wanted so like a spoiled rotten child you throw another temper tantrum just like you did over the results of the election
    grow up except it and move on no obstruction no collusion

    Very unwitty, senseless and meaningless, as usual. Try harder, YOU can string two words together... can't you?

    The question seems straight forward and the answer correct.

    Don't be pissy. The depiction of your messiah parroting your words on his teleprompter implicitly credited him with a rudimentary degree of literacy.

    Uh huh. Yet I am sure you were 100% supportive of the 10 investigations the Cons did into Benghazi because they didnt like the outcome of the previous 9 investigations.

    OK... interesting... let's have a little test..

    During a House Appropriations Committee, the St. Petersburg Democrat asked: “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?”

    What exactly do you think "Do you know what they're referencing with that" is referring to?

    1. The Reports that have emerged regarding Mueller's frustration?
    2. That Mueller's letter doesn't truly make clear what he found wrong with Barr's letter?
    3. Both
    4. Other

    What investigation? Clinton couldn't remember her own name. Hard to conduct an investigation when every question is answered with "I don't remember, I don't recall" followed by a witches cackle?

    difference with not liking the results with ignoring the results and demanding more and more investigations till you get the answer you want no matter the truth

    4.

    I really would have no idea who saying anything, since it's unnamed, and moreover, wouldn't have spoken to anyone but Mueller....but as Barr also said, it could likely be that not enough was put in the letter Barr sent to Congress. Which apparently, was correct.

    Mueller also said, that Barr's letter was not inaccurate.

    No Collusion. No Obstruction. Democrats (lawmakers and some sycophants) are continuing to throw a two year long hissy fit and negate an election. Scumbags.

    You are correct in that neither 1 or 2 is the question being asked.... The question being asked (poorly by Crist) is - Are you aware of any dissatisfaction with your 4 page summary from the Special Counsel's office.". The answer clearly needs to be yes, since he read Mueller's letter on 3/28. Anything else is suspect.

    But I will allow that it was a confusing question to a man appointed by Donald Trump.... Not listening carefully gets another pass by the right...

    That might be what he wanted to ask, but it's not what he asked. Another poorly worded question by the left, and then a failed "gotcha" attempt. Either way the answer given addresses it correctly, and Barr made the Dem look silly.
