Attorney General William Barr facing backlash ahead of House testimony

Over a thousand former Justice Department officials are calling on Attorney General William Barr to resign after he overruled the sentencing of Trump associate Roger Stone. Wall Street Journal congressional reporter Siobhan Hughes and Reuters White House reporter Jeff Mason join CBSN's "Red and Blue" to discuss the reaction on Capitol Hill.

Barr: Sir, it's difficult to be your puppet when you TWEET me a "thanks" for being your puppet!!!

Politics is the only art whose artists regularly disown their masterpieces.

“Looking out for his interest” Am I the only one having issues with that statement?

[Yrr]

NO ONE is above the law including the highest officers of our laws. Vote Democratic to preserve our Constitution.

So the "high IQ genius" implicated you, huh Barr?😆

I'm sure in a few months They'll have 1100 new applicants to fill these positions.

I wonder how Malania feels about Hope Hicks, Trump's second lady coming back to the White House.

[TheSilvergrill]

Barr, should not ever resign, Loretta lynch, was never ask to resign!

PLEASE PLEASE EXCLUSIVELY ALL THE ELEMENTS OF THE PROSECUTOR

The people needing to feel a backlash is the politicians who placed party before nation. Here's looking to November 2020, hope too see a lot of new faces, especially on the Left side.

Dear Trump... You mess with the Bull, You get the Horns ...?!...

"President* Trump felt close to Hope Hicks" or if you want a true statement it would be "President* Trump felt Hope Hicks". 😉👍

[TheLion]

I hope Military tribunals will be televised

[qdefeatsthenewworldorder]

Why the journalist said absolutely. Something goes wrong there

[alexagracehopewell]

It’s a disgrace that Barr remains un disbarred.

[frankieclayton]

He has been liying covering up lawlessness acts

[bertnijhof]

So Trump wants his mistress close again.

[webthing]
