AG William Barr testifies on Mueller report before Senate Judiciary Committee

The Justice Department said Mueller sent a letter to Barr in late March to express frustrations with the public rollout of his report. The revelation drew immediate rebukes from Democrats, with the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee demanding the letter from the Justice Department ahead of Barr's testimony in the Senate.

The Senate Judiciary Committee is controlled by Republicans and chaired by Sen. Lindsey Graham, a staunch supporter of President Trump. The hearing is scheduled to get underway at 10 a.m. ET.

There's a major difference between obstructing justice and
attempting to prevent an injustice. However, the individuals behavior when trying to do so would appear identical.

This hearing in a nutshell:

Democrat: "Mr Barr, yes or no question, do you think that most of the American people should be treated equally under the law, have the ability to come together for a common good when times are tough, and that some people are inferior to whites?"

Barr: "Well that question is more complicated ... "

Democrat: "Answer the question Mr Barr, it's a simple yes or no question"

Barr: "I don't think..."

Democrat: "I'm reclaiming my time, he refuses to answer the question"

Grandstanding. Soundbites grasping at straws sad for our country

[keto]

it s fascinating how the questions and arguments change depending on the party. i haven t seen or heared over 90% of the people in this committee before. however before the first question of any senator is finished i can match them to there party. the politic is definitely not in a healthy state if there is no opinion diversity. there should be a big group you can t determine and not just 2 narrow opinions.

It's not helpful when your newscasters insert themselves over the proceedings. I want to hear all the questions and answers in the hearing.

Was it a surprise they were doing this hearing today or is Lindsey Graham waiting for Cliff's Notes? How can he know there is no difference if he didn't read it?
