Again - What Is The Purpose Of This Barr Hearing?.....

What is it supposed to accomplish?

It's kind of a waste of time - when we all know that Barr & the Repugs will just lie and obfuscate.

How many of these things do we have to endure before we learn that lesson? They are just not very effective and tend to confuse the American People more than set any kind record straight.

Can someone please provide the stated purpose of having Barr there? Russia investigation specifically? Or is it just one big free-for-all? If Russia, why is he talking about U.S. riots? Is ANYONE staying on point or bringing it back?

Barr is almost the perfect AG for him. He lies, obfuscates, and embellishes with such flair and believability it's crazy.

I could be wrong but I believed he can be impeached for lying to congress.

It's like they know they have nothing to be concerned about and that they'll continue to be in power after November.
