He will definitely run cover for Trump. My question is why is Trump still holding closed door meetings with Putin and why he sided with Putin over our own intelligence agencies? 3 things the public witnessed: 1,Obstruction by firing Comey; 2, Campaign law violations for paying off hookers to silence them; 3, violations of the emoluments clause by refusing to divest and profiteering from his office. We know the Russians hacked our elections. We have an illegitimate president, unelected by the popular vote making America worse off in every area. Barr has no justifiable excuse for prematurely issuing comments except to hide important details like collusion didn't get proved beyond doubt because of obstruction.

I don't trust Barr at all. This is a massive coverup. Mueller's probe was ended prematurely as well.

we cannot allow any time for repubs to spin their version of the report..Dems must and have come out quickly with their questions and make sure the truth sticks..Barr has not turned the report over to congress, it is his opinion you are hearing not he truth!

Should have been prepared in advance for this eventuality.

Always expect that a Republican will undercut, undermine, lie cheat and steal to grab the narrative.

They did, and had the reveal orchestrated.

Thank the gods for Pelosi, who intends to fight hard. This Barr summary is so biased toward trump. Barr never believed that anyone had the right to challenge trump's firing Comey ... that's where Barr started and ended his examination ... never believed a pres. could be guilty of obstruction in this case

Barr is doing the job Trump appointed him to do spin. Mueller chose not to exonerate Trump which means there is evidence in that report that Trump obstructed justice.

Watching the not-destroyed gop flat out wreck the good intentions and hard work of the Obama Administration.

I think Nancy might not be game for a President Cruz or Nunes, is all I'm sayin.

Keep in mind, as always, the Republicans NEED the Democrats to clean up the mess they (the GOP) has created, in order to prevent the GOP from splintering into a mostly southern-Great Plains white supremacist "white hood" party and a Wall Street-aligned "white collar" party...

Same as it ever was, truthfully, at least since Nixon.

This will go down the same path, with just enough Republicans in the end, to replace Pence with someone like Nikki Haley and then ease Trump out ...

And Pelosi and Schumer have been around long enough, they understand this pattern.

That his report recommended charges against Trump, his family, and others associated with his campaign for conspiring with Russia to rig the 2016 election, right?
