Opinion: Barr has set himself up — and Trump — for embarrassment
FBI Director Christopher A. Wray. By Jennifer Rubin Jennifer Rubin Opinion writer covering politics and policy, foreign and domestic Email Bio Follow Opinion writer May 7 at 1:45 PM Attorney General William P. Barr refused to play it straight with special counsel Robert S. Mueller III’s report. Instead of presenting the report objectively, he substituted his own view of the facts.
Shaheen pressed him further, asking whether he had any evidence that illegal surveillance was conducted on individuals associated with the campaign. If they can ever haul Barr up to the Hill again, Democrats should press him as to why he made a specious charge. When Mueller finally testifies , he will be asked: Given that the attorney general thinks the Justice Department can opine on grounds for indictment, what is your own view? If Mueller feels free to answer in the wake of Barr’s legal gymnastics, I’m confident that he’ll agree with 600 or so former prosecutors.
