Fox's Chris Wallace: Barr sounded like a counselor to Trump rather than AG

Fox's Chris Wallace: Barr sounded like a counselor to Trump rather than AG
By Joe Concha - 04/18/19 10:31 AM EDT

Fox News anchor Chris Wallace said Attorney General William Barr sounded like a counselor to the president during his press conference Thursday ahead of the release of special counsel Robert Mueller's report.

"The Attorney General seemed almost to be acting as the counselor for the defense, the counselor for the president, rather than the attorney general, talking about his motives, his emotions," Wallace told "America's Newsroom" anchors Bill Hemmer and Sandra Smith.

"Really, as I say, making a case for the president," he added.

Barr offered a staunch defense of President Trump on Thursday morning during a press conference, where he previewed the report's findings and explained why they led him to conclude that Trump had not obstructed justice.

Barr called the report a vindication of Trump over the allegations of collusion with Russian officials.

Donny sweat pants...he was in such a sad state of mind - I know - I am a mind reader - I would have to be - Donny sweat pants never testified - but I know what his emotions were/are - he was being picked on - bullied by the Dems - yes, he has no problem tearing up the US Constitution - but that is because he got mad....

We have a madman in the WH - a babyman having a tantrum - if what Barr says is true, then show the report to the American people..
