Opinion: Kamala Harris zeroes in on the big problem with William Barr
Kamala D. Harris presses William P. Barr. By Greg Sargent Greg Sargent Opinion writer covering national politics Email Bio Follow Opinion writer May 1 at 4:50 PM Sen. Kamala D. Harris is already getting a lot of plaudits for roasting Attorney General William P. Barr at the Judiciary Committee hearing. Under questioning from Harris, Barr pulled a big homina homina homina when asked whether the White House had ever asked or suggested that he open an investigation into anyone.
— Justin Gomez May 1, 2019 “This attorney general lacks all credibility and has, I think, compromised the American public’s ability to believe that he is a purveyor of justice," Harris said. To take just a few examples, at one point Barr was pressed on the fact that he previously told Congress he didn’t have any idea what was behind the Mueller team’s leaks of frustration over Barr’s summary — even though we now know that special counsel Robert S. Mueller III explicitly laid out his concerns in a letter well in advance of that.
Worse, Barr then proceeded to give a news conference at which he continued misleading the public about Mueller’s findings. Among many other things, Barr robotically repeated the phrase “no collusion” as if he were reading off of White House talking points. There were many other moments like this. At one point, for instance, Barr flatly declared that Trump would be on solid ground in preventing former White House counsel Donald McGahn from testifying to Congress, essentially functioning unapologetically as Trump’s personal lawyer.
