2. I'm sure Barr will get right on that. Seeing as he was there and gave some orders.

3. I'm sure Jabba the Barr is eager to investigate himself.

4. Yup. I asked myself if I was wrong and I said no.

6. Hoping this demand has something to do with furthering the lawsuit they filed against Barr and trump

But that is unclear.

In a federal lawsuit, the groups asserted that U.S. and military police officers’ use of horses, batons, shields and riot control agents — including pepper spray, smoke canisters and rubber or plastic projectiles — violated largely peaceful protesters’ constitutional rights of free speech and assembly 30 minutes before a citywide curfew took effect Monday.

The suit — which also names Attorney General William P. Barr as a defendant — was brought by the ACLU of the District of Columbia, the Washington Lawyers’ Committee and the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law. All plaintiffs said they were gathered peacefully to protest the death in police custody of George Floyd in Minneapolis and other similar deaths.
