Questions Swirl Around AG Barr As Trump Impeachment Trial Begins | The 11th Hour | MSNBC

[Rhiannon]

Then why did trump say in his "perfect letter" and "perfect phone call" for Zelensky to contact "the attorney general Barr and Rudy"?..that "they both know what's going on"..starts at the top..trump stated Barr knew...

[JeremySeanHector]

Rudy says he has been exceedingly careful. Imagine him being reckless

[DavidJ]

If republicans go through with this farce, it will be remembered forever as the The Great Cover-up.

Trump mentioned Barr in the phone call ..So he should recuse himself and if not then he would be disbarred. He should be working for the people not Trump.

[kathleenhammett]

How could Giuliani " compromise " Barr IF they, as they've been trying to say, ... weren't doing anything wrong??

[Suasagesmonkey]

Get Barr out as AG and in an orange jumpsuit.

[powelllanguages]

"He told Parnas many times..." How could the president´s lawyer talk constantly to Parnas about Ukraine government issues without the president´s knowledge?

[stephenburrows]

Giuliani: “so I wouldn’t compromise him [Barr]” - aaah, so what you were doing was compromising? Hmmm, gee - how many neurons do you need to see into and through this...?

[markye]

Bullfrog Barrf, he is the freaking Swamp.

[DavidJ]

Trump should be forced to testify under oath in his trial.
Trump: "I swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help me Putin....if you're listening."

[colconn]

So If the AG knew what was happening he would be "Compromised" Interesting. Surely he knows now? How's the investigation going AG???

[nicholassantos]

The swamp can't be drain, it must be set ablaze

[jeffjarvis]

I blame all the voters who put him in office ! Millions of blind mice see how they run

[caspianblue]

*Giuliani: “So I wouldn’t compromise him!"*

[bryanbowen]

Ah well there you go ladies and gentlemen - rudi has cleared it all up for us - he says he didn't do it. Thanks rudi we were really confused about the whole situation until you said that.

[SindyLowery]

" Lock'em up " LOCK 'EM UP! Lock'em up! trump, barr, pompeo, ALL of them who have consistently been in on this COVER - UPs

[garymellow]

So far Rudy’s insurance policy is holding up bone spurs hasn’t started the bus 🚌

[derrillyager]

Government without HONOR will not have public trust. Eyes Open America see the Honor, who has it
Who does not.

[MsGloucestergal]

What a legacy Barr leaves for his wife and children, does he honestly think his family is proud of his questionable loyalty to Trump. I hope Parnas has protection from the Trump thugs.

[trebucketz]

Parnas enters the ring, and immediately throws down a Double Suplex on Giuliani and Barr. SMACK DOWN!!!!
