- Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., asked Attorney General William Barr during a committee hearing whether he could have made public earlier a letter from special counsel Robert Mueller in which Mueller expressed concerns with Barr's initial summary of the report. The letter from Mueller to Barr was dated March 27 but was not made public until Wednesday, shortly before Barr's testimony.

It's amazing that he admitted he has not read the entire document.
Cause he feels no pressure to be truthful. He gives no f.... about any of this because he 1000 % think he is protected
When did he admit that in the video? I missed it.
Duh.. did you think he could read and summarize a 400 page report that took 2 years to write, over the weekend? We already knew that was bullshit.
@Skagit Chrome how so Skagit
@Skagit Chrome because you didn't catch that part , give me a break trump humper
Please regular people, Don't try this in court. Because you will not be home for dinner
Blake still in the game but he's the attorney general dummy..he's the one prosecuting people, not the other way around. He can prosecute congress dummy , sit back and watch
So the attorney general above the law Sherlock Stupid?? Nobody can ever bring charges against an attorney general Super STUPID??
Blake still in the game not in this case dumbass. Eric holder is the first federal AG who was formally charged with perjury dumbazz! But you're an Obama puppet so you don't care . Ha!
Low iq trump fans always result to insults when someone disagrees with them concerning trump.... it’s pretty childish
Just so you children. know the truth the congress only investigates. FAILED civics. You realize that is 8th grade shit. Wow read a book educate yourself. You wont look so ignorant.
How does Barr get away with " I think so"...talking about things that had happened the day before....Insane to me..
You are as dumb as the dems asking the same thing over and over waiting for an answer they like! BOB MUELLER SAID " THE PRESS WAS TAKING THE SUMMERY WRONG AND NOT MR. BARR!
You people cannot handle the truth so none of you will stop and it's sad that you will be living an absolute miserable life for the next 5 years. Lol!!!
Good luck and have fun 😊
@@madeinmichigan6773 The denial is strong with this one.
@Unkown known lol!!!
@@lesmoore6415 Who's denial?
@@madeinmichigan6773 YOU!! LOL Where are your sources for your statement? Fox News alternative facts? This is a quote directly from Mueller's letter to Barr.
*"The summary letter the Department sent to Congress and released to the public late in the afternoon of March 24 did not fully capture the context, nature, and substance of this Office's work and conclusions. We communicated that concern to the Department on the morning of March 25. There is now public confusion about critical aspects of the results of our investigation."*
If you're incapable of interpreting that, it basically says William Barr mislead the public to false conclusions of the Mueller report. I see why you support Donald Trump, he "loves the poorly educated" bunch.
I almost passed out from laughter when Sen. Whitehouse said “the report of the report in the report!” 😂🤣
Thank you, Mr Whitehouse! Chapeau! Really feels good to witness someone doing his job! Perfecley so.
Thank him for what, putting another spin on the truth?
E. Womer lol you are such a sad person. Get a life
HOW can you be so blind?? You're talking about a man with stolen valor. A man who LIED about his own story AND you think he's sooo great?? No wonder why this country is effed up. You're an idiot! After 25 million spent going after trump, spying on trump, 13 angry democrats, DOJ and Fbi treating trump as if he's guilty of something even though they KNEW trump was innocent, using Russian fake dossier and foreign Intel paid for by Hillary / dnc, using this fake Intel during the midterms, dems running on "trumps going to prison 100% AND democrats winning the house because of fake news AND bad foreign Russian Intel paid for by dems AND you believe they gave Trump extra privilege?? BS. YOU leftist STILL think trumps guilty? Wow. Guilty of what? Fighting back because he knew he was innocent? Everything you leftist say trump did, the democrats did! Wait for the new "Hillary, Russia collusion investigation" you'll see side by side what trump didn't do and what Hillary, Obama & the dnc DID DO! You Watch!
Matt's Horsemanship this is happening right now in real time. Hillary holds no office and is not relevant to this conversation.
America has just witnessed our own (compromised AG conflict of interest based on his unsolicited 19 page document against the Mueller investigation.) lying to Congress on multiple points.
I. E. When asked in previous interview what Mueller’s intent was Barr said he did not know, yet he had a letter from Mueller angrily disputing Barr’s summary and failed to disclose this information to congress or the public
Look into Barr’s history this is the fourth time he has intervened in investigations to manipulate the data.
I say, Jeeves, fetch Mr. Barr some of that Châteauneuf-du-Pape we have on ice, and a lovely Big Mac to go with it. He's earned it. Haven't you, Billy Boy? Yes, that's a good boy, Billy Boy! Melania, isn't he cute? How he stands on his two hind legs! Such a dear!
NO. Mueller DID NOT leave it to Barr. He left it to the Congress.
So... reality isn't your gig...huh?
It's ok.
The world needs stupid people.
@@johnallenlauridsenjr.3395 Name calling is the last refuge of a scoundrel.
Barr will not set in front of Congress and testify he has already lied here and he knows that the Republicans are going to side with him and trump. It's time to vote the Republicans out that is still standing by trump. So come elected time in 2020 the Republican and this is my baby needs to go
Yeah but racist people of this country don't want to go by the law when it go against them
No congress has nothing to do with the justice department. We have seperate branches of government for a reason. But facts never seem to enter a democrats mind.
Bob Muller needs to quite the DOJ and then go before congress and testify as to what he ment in the report so all Americans can hear what Muller really ment in the report . Listing to laying Barr and all his BS we don't need to hear this BS again from this Rump troll.
Ernest B hey idiot the demorats and the republican agree that Muller do the investication on Trump now Muller didnt find anything the demorats not happy about the finding now they trying any bulshit to get Trump so good luck with that. Keep hating you got 4 more years of that lol

Angela f-rachal: When you have a leader as corrupt as Trump, the trickle down theory is applicable.
I agree. Stunning how I was led to believe that SOB and everyone on his campaign colluded with the Russians and now it's all going to turn around and members of our party are now going to be indicted, etc. This all sucks. And if we impeach him, it will only strengthen him just like it did with Clinton;-( I am so disgusted with CNN, I'm going to watch Fox for even just a little bit now.
I get how the orange SOB felt there were conflicts and wanted the Mueller team gone, though, as I try to at least be intellectually honest. As I know there were people on the legal team who even cried like most of us when Hillary lost and others who worked for her. So I at least have to admit, though I hate it, that I can't see how those people could be impartial. This is all such a mess now and I think Barr is going to really go after us, don't you?

@@angelaf-rachal3455 Extremely uneducated reply especially as CNN has lost such a tremendous amount of viewers since falsely putting forth a collusion theory that Fox had shown was wrong long, long ago.
So given that Fox was the only network to have all the main tenants of the Mueller investigation correct, it is like you are laughing at yourself when saying you watch Fox for laughs. As why would an individual not want to watch a news' source which has shown itself to be quite reliable?
While Bill Barr is one of the most respected lawyers in the nation and your assessment of him is simply made because he does not agree with you and also recognizes that what went on here was an attempted coup of the President of the United States. Something you're most likely unacquainted with due to your partisan nature and failure to educate yourself by watching and reading a wide variety of news' sources as I do.
Harris no! They’ve (DEMS) been never caught due to Corruption!
“Oh, boy! I can’t go down with that road!” If we cannot agree with basic facts or logic, we cannot even honestly disagree on anything!
Senators frame questions for maximum embarrassment, not for elucidating the truth. Barr called them out every time.

Wtf is Barr even talking about 90% of the time

omg Whitehouse's face before he says "I can't even follow that one down the road." It's like he's watching his drunk son lie through his teeth about his night even though he caught him red-handed.
Whitehouse is an idiot like the others that can't accept the findings.
Yep, I think everybody who's a parent has actually seen through the same lies barr's thinking are fooling everybody. Only that dwindling moronic magat base would think any of these lies are acceptable.
More like he was expecting something else, and yet he did not get it.
@andrew chambers What did he say that was a lie?
@andrew chambers you reveal that you trumpturds have a totalitarian mindset. Lying before congress is a federal crime! This is the highest officer in the American justice system. It's his job to protect truth and the constitution. You think it's his job to 'lie for the President'? You even shamelessly admit this? You're truly fascists and are out to destroy democracy.

The "footwork" isn't his job. That's exactly why so many of these questions are so God damned dumb. 😜
Yah let's have another 2 year investigation to verify the first 2 year Mueller investigation that cost us 25 million dollars!
@@marilynnavan3149 exactly a investigation of the investigation basically their trying prove Trump made stupid remarks in private with lawyers.
@@marilynnavan3149 that money was made back, and more, from takings from Paul Manafort. The investigation actually turned a profit.
@@marilynnavan3149 Yep, that seems to be the Left's logic in this case. 🤔
"To lean as far forward as i could to..."
What he was meaning to end that phrase with was "stick out my neck for trump", not "make it public"
No, what he meant was, in the Special Council statute WRITTEN BY CONGRESS, the report was to REMAIN CONFIDENTIAL. And now the Democrat Congressmen are whining about 2% redaction required by laws they wrote.
"I'm not sure what he means by that..." it's clear as day, Barr.
If it was clear as day he would have made the decision. So you pretending Muller made a decision is not proven by his report. Its funny how you get to make an opinion. On a report that was supposed be definitive after 2 years of investigating only to leave it as opinion again so what did we get for our 25 million. The same bullshit we had before you wasted 2 years. As if Bob Muller wasn't rich enough.
@@jsmeswagner6104 Mueller didn't get the money for himself. The report wasn't supposed to be definitive and is being handed off to congress, which can't do anything. Wonderful, the president is indeed a crook but there's nothing to be done.
He keeps saying im not sure, i dont know, i think he did...lolol
Let's watch Robert Mueller's testimony. "Cannot get into that" "I don't remember" like dude you wrote the FUCKING report?!
For a professional Barr sure can't remember ANYTHING important!!!
I have less and less confidence in the institutions that surround our nation every time William Barr opens his mouth.
You need Mueller
Metkel Beiene you have a concern about Mr Barr but all those lying liberal democrats that are not willing to accept a almost two year investigation that proved nothing other than Trump did nothing wrong, wow your concern has no merit and rates no concern or alarm
Wow that is really rich, did you have confidence when Holder and Lynch were running the show? Love how you have just taken the Democrat and media talking points and are gulping them down like candy. I am pretty sure that Barr hasn't withheld information about a gun running operation that ended up with a dead BP agent, and I am pretty sure that he hasn't met on a tarmac with the husband and former President whose wife was under investigation shortly before the DOJ and FBI decided that she shouldn't be prosecuted for the 100's of crimes she committed while performing her SOS duties on an unsecured server. Just saying.
For an attorney general of the people...his memory of very important information is appalling! He’s supposed to be a lawyer and his memory is supposed to particularly acute.... he’s just waffling...
I already said there was no point questioning Barr, he will just carry on wasting time. Mueller is who you need.
Oh sweetie, Mueller is too chicken-shit to testify. The Dems won't even call him to testify. Mueller couldn't answer a question to save his life.
Why would Mueller or anyone for that matter need to testify? The report is public, go read it. There is nothing in it that incriminates anyone
@@ilikemitchhedberg he's scheduled to testify may 15th, apparently you're not paying attention....
@Phily P It doesn't sound like you have read the report then.
@Andrew Nordell May be. But, this wasn't the first time he has testified already. He would just dance around it as usual. We have seen more than enough of his tactics. Is time to get to the meat with Mueller. We now know Mueller was literally p*ssed with Barr's depiction of his report and we need to flesh that out so the American public could see how corrupt Barr is in covering the whole thing up. Not only that, that could let to many next steps such as the impeachment of Barr, Trump or both.
"That's some masterful hair-splitting" had me crying in laughter.
ALL of this testimony should be used to impeach AG Barr.
Loll Mueller did the investigation not Barr
Better idea. All democrats go to the gas chamber in concentration camps. You know, since everyone is a nazi these days.
You people are just asking to lose the entire Democratic Party. I dare you. We’ve been locked and loaded ready for you to make that one fatal mistake. Do so at your absolute peril
Bob Mueller should be sitting there waiting to testify right after Barr.
Congress can set that up... Wonder why they aren't.

sham421 conspiracy, collusion, obstruction. Take your pick. And before you say he obstructed, remember you’re probably not a lawyer and you’re nowhere close to being as educated on law as the ENTIRE DOJ who all collaborated on the report and came to the conclusion that there was no crime based on the rule of law!

Blow it out your ass clown
Barr why did Ken Starr provide the entire unreacted report in 48 hrs?
Because Ken Starr was operating under different regulations. He was an *independent* counsel. Mueller was a *special* counsel.
Because Starr was hired to attack a President, not defend by obfuscation.
In Barr's brain there appears to be an impressively fast switch: If an honest answer cannot be allowed then switch to a random compilation of related words.
That’s the problem with our system and it comes from both sides! In the HRC case changing Gross Negligence to extremely careless! In that extreme careless American lives were placed at risk such as the accusations refer to Assange!
Pure corruption. He 1000% believes he is untouchable!

He came in 3 months ago with no ties to this. He let Mueller do his job, and summarized the report properly. If he's untouchable it's because he's done nothing wrong.
Thank you Mr Whitehouse. America has waited a long time to hear the truth. I think a Barr should be fired and his retirement cut in half or taken away

How is that, exactly. Seems like you didn't include your reasoning. Or was Barr on that tarmac with Clinton talking about grand kids? Yeah, nothing here, NOTHING at all.

@Kamryn Kant Muellers two letters.
@Kamryn Kant No barr had the two letters from Mueller saying that he misrepresented the report.
You idiots are like children having a tantrum, Barr went against long standing legal precedent to even release ANY details.
It is highly unusual and totally justified and the fair and decent thing to do, NOT to release the details of an investigation into someone when it is found that charges are not going to be laid.
How would YOU like to be investigated for something you were innocent of and found to be innocent by the Investigators, but then had all your details and activities, and those of your friends and family open to public scrutiny?
It's a severe invasion of privacy, and this is why it almost never happens in the legal field, but you Clowns will simply piss any rights down the toilet in your persecution of Trump.
The Democrats have the power to impeach, but they know it's a waste of time , they're just playing up to Suckers like you, who know nothing about the law and just want to be continually fed red meat to maintain your pathetic state of perpetual outrage.
There was NO collusion, Mueller handed the obstruction decision over to his BOSS, his Boss made the decision not to indict, that's it, it's over, stop torturing yourself, it's just becoming pathetic.
Barrs NOT going to change his mind, and NO ONE can make him.
There's NOTHING they can do, impeachment won't get through the Senate, it WON'T happen, deal with it and get on with your life, FFS.

How can Barr be AG. When he does not remember anything? He shouldn't be AG.😠
You are an uneducated idiot
Loretta Lynch couldn't answer anything either. It is a job requirement. Holder was found in contempt.
Idiot! The dems are asking stupid, twisted questions that no one can answer. The democrats KNOW you need intent and you need a motive and you need to 100% know the Presidents mind set in order to 100% say "he's guilty of obstruction" they know that, YET they're asking Barr to read trumps mind and pull the trigger of saying "trumps guilty even though its not beyond a shadow of a doubt" its bs questions. How do you leftist not realize that?? Its NOT illegal to fight back and say "I'm innocent" when you are innocent and if the facts prove that. Its ONLY obstruction if they found trump guilty of collusion and the President was lying saying "I'm innocent" if you're innocent but are treated as "guilty"you have the RIGHT to fight back with everything you got!

A common thread among the GOP..anytime in a hearing..
are you thinking of hitlary ? !
" *FFS Pinocchio* " , The wording you have used here is spot on! I think Barr ( Which I believe the abbreviations of B.A.R.R. is " Bitch Ass Republican Reject " is trying to be Trump himself being Pinocchio with his lies growing his nose so big that he satisfies both his hush money porn stars at the same time.
He clearly wants to be like Trump on f@cking all American citizens across the board at the same time as well. Unfortunately for neither one of these clowns, hush money payments can not be done this time. My thoughts is to impeach them both at the same time and hold them both criminally after.
Hillary used that excuse FAR more than Barr. Get over it. The reality is that Barr isn't going anywhere, he hasn't committed any crime and he's coming after the scum that tried to pull off a coup. The world as you know it is about to change.

@william III, oh, William the turd does not like what he's hearing, so he goes into denial. Well, turd-boy, it's true. The Bush family, hard-core Republicans, paid for the opposition research in order to help Jeb. After Jeb dropped out, he gave -- or sold -- probably sold -- the dossier to Hillary.

Living It Up Omg I do want his feet held to the fire but at the same time it’s so hard to watch. Yes I feel my skin crawl.
At any point from here on out, you can end your suffering by taking your own head off.
Living It Up what bothers, me and I'm a Democrat as angry add any one posting here, is how lame and almost intimated they seem. I mean where are the democrats that have higher than an average IQ? I mean all the Kennedys come to mind. And Sanders who we have put our hope on can't even speak clearly enough for us to understand. What are they afraid of?? Being wrong at any point? Better that then pussy footing around these supposedly high profile Republicans who seem to be quite glib! I want to see somebody state the facts, talk about the letter, the reactions and the fact that Barr made an independent decision on rather Ttump committed obstruction or might have when he just assumed it without further review! All you have to do is read the redacted report and sees for yourself it was an assumption he made for the president. Period!
Its amazing how each one of them exhibits that same uncomfortable feeling they send running down ur spine...in that way he does hire "the best ppl"
trex 1971 ohhhhh, reporting the hell out of you
Thank you rep. Whitehouse!
Barr needs to pay attention to what is being asked, not try to figure out how to get out of answering what’s asked. He is an irritating witness.
If not "spying", what synonym would you use to describe covert surveillance?
The KGB was engaged in intensive watching activity.
The CIA also was looking closely at the Russians.
WOW I thought sessions was the worst now I see clearly
Same here!
With his memory he needs a caretaker and s reminders not to lie to Congress.
Wow, the obfuscator general.
Sheldon is awesome
Ken Brownfield he truly dose the good work of the people. I find him less partisan than other Democrats. He's got teeth, that's all.
Snake in the grass
what Barr does is fish for a single word in a sentence & then harps upon it & plays his little game of "it's up for interpretation".
7:40 “I. D.o.n.t know what he means by that in the report” wouldn’t that be some thing good to know?
what a slimy guy, is Barr
Wrong side of history bud. I don’t think you want to be apart of what people will call in the future the second nazi party
I agree. Stunning how I was led to believe that SOB and everyone on his campaign colluded with the Russians and now it's all going to turn around and members of our party are now going to be indicted, etc. This all sucks. And if we impeach him, it will only strengthen him just like it did with Clinton;-( I am so disgusted with CNN, I'm going to watch Fox for even just a little bit now.
I get how the orange SOB felt there were conflicts and wanted the Mueller team gone, though, as I try to at least be intellectually honest. As I know there were people on the legal team who even cried like most of us when Hillary lost and others who worked for her. So I at least have to admit, though I hate it, that I can't see how those people could be impartial. This is all such a mess now and I think Barr is going to really go after us, don't you?
If they even dare to try to impeach him I’d kiss the Democratic Party goodbye
Can you imagine any other professional being asked about their jobs and all they say is they don't remember???? They would be fired.
And quick I think Barr's pants are on fire
👍👍👍👍👍
Why they do not ask direct question with straightforward msga.
Like watching a 4 year old be questioned. The lying is so terrible, he isnt even trying to look truthful.
*You worked at CIA in the 70's. YOU'RE A DINOSAUR.*
Suck it commie
There is absolutely NOTHING "honorable" about Barr.......RESIGN!!
Chatty Cathy quit your chatting Cathy... nobody wants to hear it
You’re always entertaining Senator Shitehouse
It’s team of liars and you can’t find one clean person.
"attorney general" Barr has shown himself to be another Toady hopping around Trump's putrid swamp
Really because he stood by the truth
@@OmaTV821 stood by the truth? Have you read the reportert? Mueller could ONLY conclude between two options "not guilty" or "not not guilty" he chose the last one based on evidence and the truth! Barr is nothing but Trumps puppet. This hearing proved that. He again and again. He tries to make it seem like Mueller aint trusted, then on the other side only sweet talks when its about the White House
QuantumFairing yes stood by the truth. Just because the truth doesn’t fall on your assbackwards view of the world doesn’t magically make it not true
@@gbangerlove my assbackward view? Barr couldn't answer if he talked to the White House about Trumps cases, he couldn't answer if the White House asker him to investigate people involved in the investigation of Trump, he lied about Muellers conclution of the report and failed to point out that Mueller couldn't conclude if Trump where guilty if you have read the report you would know that would be up to the congress and the American people. Trump finally got what he wanted, a attorney general that wants to protect the intrest of Trump instead of the American people. But again you dont care about the truth as long it fits your views. The best things you can come up with is trying to insult me, grow up.
@@gbangerlove and please stat what part of my comment was backwards thinking. Doesnt sound like you know much about the political history of the world.
Synonyms for spying: surveillance, bugging, prying, observing
Besides observing maybe, the other four, spying especially, are very clearly negative terms, I love how friggin smug this guy is
Edit: 7:46
What the hell are they all even talking about, give them the FULL Mueller report NOW and be done with it. Or did they give them it already? And if they did then wtf is this? And if they didn't then WTF is this?!?!?!?!
Someone should have lopped off the "Hon." portion of Barr's nameplate.
He talks like Trump. "Frankly...", "To be honest..."
When in fact they're neither.
Actually, as I’m listening to this for the hundredth time, I’m thinking that Trump probably was fed the “spying” line from Bar instead of Bar mimicking was Trump said. I don’t believe Trump comes up with most of his defenses. I think his team feeds them to him but when he gets out there his execution is just so crass! Yuck! They all make me sick with their smug ass
Imagine having to put “honorable” before this guy’s name with a straight face LOL
The AG does not leave it to Congress, who the hell thought that 1 up?
I can't look at Barr and not see John Goodman.
I thought their were No More
Circus.......something about cruel an unusual
Hair splitters.......??
Mr. Barr; What will the history books say about you? Everything will be revealed eventually and you will not bring honor to your name. Think about why you are protecting this POTUS? Does he deserve it?
Trump could have spoken to Mueller directly; that would have been his chance to explain his motivations and actions. Instead, "The greatest Memory of All-Time" declared 'I don't remember' & 'I don't recall' some 36 times.
Whitehouse is always good for a laugh.
