[SplotPublishing]

He HAS to be punished, as he wasn't before, if he does get caught. All this letting these white collar crooks skate has led to a whole skating rink full of criminals where our government used to be.

[webstertippingpoint]

Put the entire farce in perspective, great digging, never thought corruption runs so deep.
Thanks for the great reporting.

[hemondkhavalier]

Rachel, another amazing segment . We really appreciate your in depth analysis and reporting on the things that we will not be able to get anywhere else.
I wish you were our president 🙏

[sheilaosullivan]

Rachael once again you have shown us you could work for Intel ! Great girl keep going

[hectorcampos]

WE WANT THE FULL REPORT! LOVE YOU RACHEL

[sanjuansteve]

His record and commitment to deception is the reason he was given the job, aka an act of obstruction itself.

[penkeen.]

This should have been brought up before this guy even stepped in the Whitehouse.

[ga]

Rachel, Loved your history listen today, you are the GENIUS of news.

[bltcrunchy]

Barr: "I will summarize the principal conclusions, " while hiding the original document, which says something totally different than Barr's summary. History does repeat itself, doesn't it?

[etcetraetcetra]

So Barr is like a bad student in English class. He's suppose to summarize the book, but he didn't read it and just make the summary based on his opinion about the book, not the summary of the book itself.

[KiraCutes]

So in short Barr likes to give SUMMARIES OF CONCLUSIONS IN HIS OWN WORDS... And only tell you what he wants you to know. Where was this information being this dude was confirmed???

[alfresco]

When the rest of us peons lie like that we suffer negative consequences.

[MonnyYell]

Former CIA Director is not inexperienced in creating coup in foreign lands 🤷‍♂️

[kjamison]

Rachel and her team research something thoroughly so you are left in no doubt.

Barr is bent.

[krmccarrell]

Regarding your report and the earlier comparison of AG Barr, Rachel !!!

[PurpleFreq]

Wow, what a bombshell! I didn’t see this one coming… SMH! I hope they don’t let him get away with it this time! But then again they probably will!

[TheNefastor]

And then Americans wonder why other countries fly planes into their buildings...

[seanausome]

Seems like politicians that's been in Washington for the past forty years need to be replaced. Need term limits.

[Roogs]

So there is proof that he has done this before, the question is will congress let him get away with it again?
