Barr wrote an unsolicited 19 page pro-Trump screed. He's Kavanaugh without the boofing.

I'm with Speaker Pelosi on this. Barr passed the "loyalty oath" and scored the job. End of story.



“Pelosi told House Dems in private meeting that Bill Barr’s words cannot be taken at face value, arguing he got job by authoring a memo criticizing Mueller obstruction probe,” CNN’s Senior Congressional Correspondent Manu Raju reports.

She was referring to the 19-page unsolicited memo Barr wrote and sent to the DOJ last year. In it, he reportedly said it’s virtually impossible for a president to commit the crime of obstruction of justice, as he is the head of the executive branch. The Dept. of Justice falls under the executive branch, but is supposed to be free from presidential intervention.

The Speaker “said Barr’s job is to defend the president and Democrats should wait to see what’s in the full report,” Raju said.
