It's up to special counsel Robert Mueller if he wants to testify to Congress, Bil Barr

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Special counsel Robert Mueller will decide whether he will testify to Congress, Attorney General William Barr told The Wall Street Journal. President Donald Trump had earlier said that it would be up to Barr to decide whether Mueller would testify.

"It's Bob's call whether he wants to testify," Barr said, The Journal reported in an article published early Thursday.

His comment comes as House Democrats escalate their fight with the Justice Department over the unredacted version of the special counsel's report on Russian election interference and potential obstruction of justice by Trump.

Previously, the president had said Mueller shouldn't testify. Trump has repeatedly claimed that the Mueller report exonerated him. However, on the question of obstruction, Mueller said he did not exonerate the president. Barr, along with now-departed Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, decided not to charge Trump with any obstruction crimes.

1. Well, it would be nice to get a couple of clarifications....

What did he mean when he said he could not exonerate on obstruction charges?

What specifically did he disagree with AG Barr about?

Was he ready to end the investigation when he did?

Would he have indicted if there had not been the DOJ policy?

Does he think that only the Congress has the authority to get rid of a president?

motto. Barr lies just like the master he serves.

He's been a liar all his life.

My Dad always would immediately bellow out, "Somebody ought to shoot that son of a bitch!"

Also when I was a kid, I could never ever imagine that I would one day think the same things that he did.*
