House Speaker Nancy Pelosi alleged Thursday that Attorney General Bill Barr “lied to Congress” and reportedly told colleagues in a closed-door meeting that he committed a crime -- prompting a fiery rebuke from the Justice Department.
Pelosi, D-Calif., addressed the issue publicly during a press conference late Thursday morning, hedging a bit on the question of whether he committed a crime with his prior testimony.
“He lied to Congress. And if anybody else did that, it would be considered a crime,” she told reporters. “Nobody is above the law. Not the president of the United States. Not the attorney general.”
Well it seems to me Mark Zuckerberg did concerning Facebook data collections well as conservative bannings , and nothing happened to him, and Jack Dorsey did to concerning Twitter banning conservatives. Are they just to big to count, or is it because they donate big bucks to some of the congressional listeners?
She was referring to an April 9 hearing, where Crist had asked whether Barr knew what prompted reports that prosecutors on the special counsel team were frustrated with his initial summary. Barr said he did not.
But this week, The Washington Post first reported that Special Counsel Robert Mueller contacted Barr, both in a letter and in a phone call, to express concerns after Barr released his four-page summary of Mueller’s findings in March. Mueller pushed Barr to release the executive summaries written by the special counsel’s office.
However, according to both the Post and the Justice Department, Mueller made clear that he did not feel that Barr’s summary was inaccurate. Instead, Mueller told Barr that media coverage of the letter had “misinterpreted” the results of the probe concerning obstruction of justice.And it seems to me that the very same media that reported Barr lied to Nancy, are the very same media that Mueller is saying misinterpreted ( reported lies to the rest of us) the true results of Mueller's findings, just like the democrat's seem to have, not Barr.
And that's not something he has control over. So it's apparent at this point why he wouldn't know the reason for the prosecutors on the special council would be upset. How could he know?
One thing is for sure though, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, and it's not to hard to see why Nancy's freshman act in the manner they do. They learned it from the Speaker of the House herself.
One would think that as the leader Nancy would set a better example, but obviously that's to much to ask for.
