I originally thought this was too stupid to write about. But stupid is like the plague inside the Beltway — one person catches it and next thing you know there’s an outbreak at MSNBC and the speaker of the House is showing symptoms while her delirious minions tote ceramic chickens around Capitol Hill. So I give you: the Bill Barr perjury allegation. We are all entitled to our own opinions. But are we entitled to our own facts? Daniel Patrick Moynihan’s bon mot says no, but Washington makes you wonder. Like when spleen-venting about the supposedly outrageous, unbelievable, disgraceful invocation

Andy clears up all the media obfuscation, innuendo, and plain misinterpretation of the facts.

Ah, Charlie Crist has finally made it to the Big Time...Washington DC. The former Republican governor of Florida who succeeded Jeb Bush and must admit, I voted for him.
From the FL Gov job, he tried to win the senate primary against, none other than Marco Rubio, and was made into the laughing stock when Marco sliced and diced him. Okay, He tried Independent. Nope! Finally he landed on becoming a Democrat... more of his same thinking. I must say, Charlie is definitely not a quitter and his persistence finally paid off for him, although going in the wrong direction.
Charlie, don´t try to get famous going after AG Barr. Ain´t going to happen. Remember Marco!

No, Barr didn´t lie. In fact, it might be possible that he didn´t want the letter from Mueller brought up unless someone specifically asked about it because it would be embarrassing to MUELLER. It was, as described, a snitty letter and Barr followed up and confirmed the accuracy of his summary, which can now be verified by the release of most of the report. The dems KNOW this. The letter exchange makes Mueller look childish and sullen. It exposes Mueller´s team as biased and unprofessional.
I suspect Barr would have made these classifications before because he knows all these people but thought best not to diminish the character of the DOJ and the people that work there. All the dems did is expose them as the partisans they are.

Andy McCarthy has defended his old buddy Mueller for two years. Is McCarthy now warning Mueller, obviously a weak, pathetic tool, not to get caught, under oath, in this lie?

Mueller´s first mistake was taking the SC gig. His second was loading it with flaming libs. He was safe as long as Sessions remained on the job, but when Barr took over, he and his cabal knew hey were finished. While Mueller may not be in jeopardy now, the same can not be said of a lot of his team, especially those who came from the Obama DOJ and FBI.
I doubt Barr has the same respect for Mueller now that he once did.

Remember, Dems always falsely accuse Republicans of doing exactly what they actually ARE doing. Sometimes it is something that they have done, or are planning to do, soon.

YES !!!!
Dem accusations are always confessional....like a serial killer/masochist who is leaving a bread-crumb trail hoping to be caught and punished painfully.....ecstatically....wonderfully.
When did politics become psychotherapy ?
When did simple good governance and sound management (Trump) become such an existential threat ????

Clearly obvious many Democrats are running scared and with good reason, they will be exposed in one of the greatest, shameful, illegal attacks on a sitting president in the history of this country. Hopefully many will see prison time. Mr. Barr do your job, nail them.

AG Barr has tapped into the perversion of Judge nap! The more nap talks the more credible POTUS statement that nap wanted to be considered for SCOTUS! Can you imagine that forced obnoxious cackle coming from the bench?

Democrats in congress: ´´Tired of us chasing President Trump, AG Barr, and the whole Russia hoax? Not to worry, we will make you happy by raising taxes, forcing government health care (or lack of it) on you, return your lifestyle to that of 1000 A.D., and keep you entertained with lying celebrities.´´

I am so tired of the Democrats claiming that other people are lying when they are the ones doing the lying!!!
For last two years, the whole Russia collusion hoax was a continuous pack of Democrat lies.

As Sundance noted some time ago, Mueller and Weissman had strung out the inquisition, trying to goad Trump into obstruction through stunts like the Special Forces attack on Roger Stone. When they saw Barr wouldn´t play their game, the jig was up. There´s a new sheriff in town.

There in a great article by Derek Hunter in Townhall today. This is a paragraph from it...But acknowledging the dry well they’d already dug would not have allowed them the opportunity to manufacture process crimes – charges of lying to investigators during an investigation that came up dry when it was covert. They claimed a few scalps that way – General Michael Flynn and George Papadopoulos. They’d broken them financially and got them to agree to plead guilty to inconsequential “lies” in order to avoid the type of lifelong financial ruination only federal prosecutors can inflict. Weird, considering the Justice Department knew everything those men had done, and that they hadn’t broken the law, because they were watching and listening the whole time.
