Didn’t see this posted, so.… if it has been I’ll take it down.
AG Barr now admits under questioning from Sen Durbin that he had already been working on decision saying Trump did not commit obstruction — before receiving the Mueller report or having anyone look at it.

Has anybody else heard this? I trust Glasser, but this has flown under my radar.
This was one of the R’s biggest complaints about Comey…
”Exoneration before investigation!”
Huge win for Durbin.
Nothing more on this yet, but Wow!

Was it Get Smart or Hogan’s Heroes where the catch phrase was “very interesting…but stupid?”
Could definitely be revived for the Trump era.
Neither:
Rowan and Martin’s Laugh-In.
Okay, I totally get a 1960’s TV demerit for that one, lol.
Yes. But it was Ms Harris who really peeled his onion.
Lots of Democrats contributed their part and as (ugh) Nina Turncoat always said when she was running here in Idiohio, “It takes team work to make the dream work.” She wasn’t always out of her mind.
Damn near fell out of my chair when I heard that one yesterday. I was listening while working on some briefs, and I thought I heard it but had to rewind the live feed to hear it again. I was thunderstruck by Barr’s tone of voice to that line of questioning. Really arrogant and so proud of that work that he was doing. I doubt Barr thinks that sounded bad because he’s such a brilliant legal beagle. If I had been his criminal defense attorney, I would have been inwardly cringing and saying “We’re fucked now. Dumbass.”
I think one of the reasons Barr refused to show up to testify today is that he knew the House attorneys were listening to every word, cueing up all the requisite evidence to nail him to the cross. And they would have been up all night with their staff doing it. Barr didn’t want to face that without having his own “evidence” lined up.
