Barr to testify about Mueller report

Attorney General William Barr will testify before Congress on May 1 about the recently concluded federal Russia investigation.

The Senate Judiciary Committee put out a press release Wednesday that listed him as a witness for a hearing titled “The Department of Justice’s Investigation of Russian Interference with the 2016 Presidential Election."

Barr’s testimony is scheduled for 10 a.m. Barr will answer senators' questions on special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election.

The Justice Department released a redacted version of Mueller’s nearly 450-page report Thursday, which said President Trump's campaign had “numerous links” to the Russians, but “the evidence was not sufficient to support criminal charges.” The special counsel also described several instances of possible obstruction of justice but did not make a conclusion on whether Trump obstructed the investigation.

Barr and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein instead made the conclusion, determining the president did not obstruct justice.

Unless he’s actually going to be sanctioned (ie with jail) for lying, and forced to answer questions (is with jail and contempt as the alternative) it doesn’t matter.

Get him in the House. Subpoena him before he gets to lie to the Senate. Then make sure he’s held in contempt and prosecuted for failing to answer.

Dems are being too soft. This is the fight of our lives.
