In the old western days U.S. Attorney General William "T-Bone" Barr would be referred to as "a man facing the wrong way on his horse".
Barr's long long awaited testimony before Congress was an confirmation for Americans who have suspected him of being a corrupt, manipulative and dishonest "leader" of our Justice Department all along.
Barr's entire day was spent callously denying his abuses of DOJ powers on the behalf of Trump. Five hours of arrogant "so what" responses.
Barr denied intervening in convicted criminals Trump's former "security advisor" Michael Flynn and Trump's "Russian Colluder" Roger Stone. Both men were tried and sentenced to years in prison. Barr and Trump let them go free.
Barr insisted he has not influenced the cancellations of ongoing investigations into Trump's crimes, Deutsche Bank mob money laundering, sexual assaults. Democrats entered into record Barr and Trump's firing other Attorney Generals and Whistle blowers who were active in these cases.
Barr, refused any requests to voluntarily make the Mueller Report available to Congress in it's entirety. But, we all will see that report soon when the Democrats take over the Senate and oust the Republican morons that have allowed this corruption to infect our government.
An interesting response from Barr about Roger Stone when confronted with his legality of reducing Stones nine year sentence to time served was "would you let a 67 year old man go to prison?"... THIS IS DONE EVERY HOUR OF EVERY DAY IN OUR COURT SYSTEMS!
Democrats drilled Barr on his responding to commands from Trump... Barr using the powers of the DOJ to make Trump's commands happen... Barr said he "never let Trump influence his decisions". HA! Barr famously wrote a lengthy letter to Trump asking to become AG under the premise "A sitting president is above the law". And, that's all we've witnessed these three years. Trump and Barr both acting above the law.
When asked about Barr and Trump's orders to assault peaceful protesters in Lafayette Square in front of the White House, beating and tear gassing people who were LAWFULLY ASSEMBLED TO EXPRESS THEIR DISCONTENT WITH THIS ADMINISTRATION Barr said "we were just pushing the line back". That incident turned out to be the famous photo op for Trump to walk across the street to a church and hold a bible upside down.
General Mark A. Milley, the top military official in the United States, apologized for his role in President Trump’s walk across Lafayette Square as the authorities used tear gas and rubber bullets AGAINST AMERICANS. Milley agreed that use of U.S. funded military force for a political stunt was wrong. Barr could not see that. Barr doesn't care what's wrong or right. Barr just cares about his meal-ticket Trump grasping powers they both will try to use to achieve their twisted goals.
Asked about the deployment of Federal "Officers" wearing tactical uniforms with no identification in Portland, abducting, tear gassing, firing rubber bullets IMPROPERLY at protestors who in Barr's words "acted like anarchists" severely injuring many... Barr said "we were protecting government property".
Democrats made it clear they understand, and the majority of Americans understand Trump's orders to deploy THUGS to enact his delusional political stunts did nothing but escalate the conflicts. Our country has seen three months of protesting because of brutal murders conducted by racist police... Trump and Barr sent police to assault protestors! INSANE.
My message to Mr. Barr would be this: "If you would put down that box of donuts for a couple minutes I'd like to explain to you how the few broken windows and graffiti painted walls of federal buildings CAN BE REPAIRED AND PAINTED.
