- 00:03:59 Retweeted @joshtpm 2019-04-30 23:57:24 Times and Post versions of Mueller Letter story are replete with those transparently bogus claims from Barr aides, which are nonetheless passed along as good faith descriptions of their views/reactions.

#GlobalWarming #ClimateChange https://t.co/9m1pQLrEx1 - 15:22:58 Retweeted @kylegriffin1 15:05:46 Barr just explained that there is apparently a difference between Trump ordering Don McGahn to fire Mueller and ordering Don McGahn to “have him removed based on conflict.”
- 15:23:40 Retweeted @maggieNYT 14:15:59 For those saying Mueller letter somehow was really about media not capturing Barr letter accurately, here’s the actual letter. It is all about Barr and confusion he says Barr created. https://t.co/yVta1RAFl6
- 15:26:00 Retweeted @JarrettHill 15:11:15 Lindsey Graham on Donald Trump… https://t.co/et5JwKdpQF
- 15:28:28 Retweeted @JesseCharlesLee 15:10:33 Barr saying Mueller would have said Trump was guilty if he felt that way is *explicitly* contradicted by the report, which explains that Mueller felt it would be unfair to deem Trump guilty without a process at hand to give Trump his day in court to contest. It’s in black & white
- 15:28:57 Retweeted @emptywheel 15:11:43 Any bets we soon hear that Mueller took notes of his meeting with Barr, and they reflect that this is not accurate? in reply to emptywheel
- 15:31:16 Retweeted @AshaRangappa_ 15:03:22 According to Barr if you feel like you are being investigated unfairly you can obstruct an investigation, and the fact that investigators are prevented from obtaining evidence because of your obstruction and don’t ultimately charge you is evidence that you were right to obstruct.
- 16:29:42 Retweeted @HeerJeet 16:26:39 Let’s push this useful point a little bit further: we have a group of people who have repeatedly, demonstrably lied. We shouldn’t take anything they say on face value unless there is independent verification. This should be the rule going forward. https://t.co/kzP5wasoey
- 17:57:26 Retweeted @atrupar 17:35:19 OMG — Barr hesitates before acknowledging that presidential campaigns that are offered dirt from hostile foreign governments should probably contact the FBI https://t.co/eqFkHjmBJj in reply to atrupar
- 18:02:14 Retweeted @joshtpm 17:52:23 The entirety of Barr’s discussion is based on lying about what Mueller clearly explained he was doing in the report.
- 18:03:29 Retweeted @joshtpm 17:52:02 lol. Seems Bill Barr may be thinking a bit more seriously about perjury. https://t.co/NuqchbY4Of
- 18:06:51 Retweeted @joshtpm 17:28:48 lol. Really hard for Bill Barr to say that having your volunteer campaign chair on the payroll of a Russian oligarch is a problem. https://t.co/xoCHrCGg52
- 18:09:42 Retweeted @nycsouthpaw 18:04:56 Hirono trying this, asking if various of Trump’s actions are okay. Barr’s response, paraphrasing: “I’m willing to talk about whether it’s criminal.” https://t.co/5iLSyQNkDN
- 18:13:15 Retweeted @HoarseWisperer 18:05:20 Hirono asks if Barr thinks Trump’s conduct was okay.Not whether it was criminal. Whether Barr thinks it’s okay for a president to ask a White House counsel to lie.
Asks whether it’s okay for a president to dangle pardons and threaten witnesses.
Barr stares. Graham rescues. in reply to HoarseWisperer
- 18:13:49 Retweeted @5thCircAppeals 17:41:26 The questions, over and over and over again, should be: “Do you see where it says X in the report? Do you believe that is acceptable behavior for a president?” Repeat. Forget about formal criminal prosecution. Build the public record for removing him from office.
- 18:16:53 Retweeted @PSYCH_HYPE 14:25:12 It just rolls off the tongue. Say it again, Lindsey. https://t.co/HLf73lKPBI
- 18:19:24 Retweeted @ABCPolitics 18:16:14 Sen. Mazie Hirono to Attorney General William Barr: “Now the American people know that you are no different from Rudy Giuliani or Kellyanne Conway or any of the other people who sacrificed their once decent reputation” https://t.co/UyviQ1DWt6 https://t.co/XZ2sbz9Mes
- 18:21:55 Retweeted @AJentleson 18:16:46 Senator Hirono made the choice not to treat Trump or the people around him as normal. She stated simple facts about who he is and what he does. It was powerful and more Dems should follow her lead. There is no reason to normalize this lying, racist, sexual-assaulting grifter. https://t.co/Va4CaqXIbd
- 18:23:12 Retweeted @RadioFreeTom 17:16:06 Shorter Klobuchar: I read the damn report and you know this is obstruction.Shorter Barr: I know. I don’t care.
- 18:30:49 Retweeted @kylegriffin1 18:29:22 Kamala Harris asks Barr if Trump or anyone at the WH has asked or suggested that he open an investigation into anyone.Barr says he’s trying to grapple with the word suggest. He says he wouldn’t say anyone has asked.
Harris wonders: Hinted? Inferred?
Barr says he doesn’t know.
- 18:35:22 Retweeted @mattyglesias 18:30:14 The other senators should hire Kamala Harris to be like a player/coach designated questioner instead of all wasting time with their rambling.
- 18:35:45 Retweeted @BenjySarlin 18:29:50 When I asked voters at early Harris events how they heard about her, it was usually televised exchanges like this. Barr making an in-kind contribution. https://t.co/uJfaNH6jgG
- 18:37:24 Retweeted @RadioFreeTom 18:30:34 Harris: Yes or noBarr: I don’t like those kinds of questions, I’d like Sen. Ernst back please
- 18:37:56 Retweeted @Amy_Siskind 18:30:38 Barr just admitted he did not look at the evidence in the Mueller report. Nor did Rosenstein. Nor did anyone in the DOJ. But he made the charging decision on whether evidence was sufficient.Kamala Harris on fire!
- 18:46:50 Retweeted @NicolleDWallace 18:31:52 Omg – @KamalaHarris just destroying Barr by diminishing his intellect, his integrity and his ability to think on his feet. Wow
- 18:48:04 Maybe she will let him be her Veep. https://t.co/xCtRyRHAHM
- 19:39:29 Wow https://t.co/Sq3l09XWQ4
- 20:12:44 Retweeted @LisPower1 19:30:23 Fox News’ Chris Wallace: Some opinion people who appear on this network who might be pushing a political agenda don’t think the Mueller letter is a big deal. But we have to deal in facts — the fact is this letter was a clear indication that Mueller was very upset w/ Barr. https://t.co/YSedEZ8NRL
- 20:53:41 Retweeted @JRubinBlogger 20:08:47 If Harris isn’t on winning ticket but D’s win she MUST be AG to prosecute Trump for obstruction. No one better
- 22:03:23 Retweeted @mkraju 21:40:34 No Bill Barr tomorrow before House Judiciary; subpoena coming
