"Mr Barr, did you ever have a discussion with Mr Trump about shutting down Mueller investigation?"

"Did you ever discuss it with Rod Rosenstein?"

"Did the two of you make the decision to shut down the investigation?"

It appears that you came into your job with a mission. It didn't really matter what the Mueller Report might say.

Your job was to "land the plane", with the help of your co-pilot, Mr Rosenstein.

"Did you think you were doing a service to the country by protecting Mr Trump?"

"Can you even imagine the great disservice you have done to our country?"

One bad apple can spoil the whole barrel.

and tearing both Barr and Rosenstein a new one re their moral compass.

Mueller never exonerated the Con from Obstruction of Justice and Mueller has made that clear.

Sen. Blumenthal asked Barr point-blank if Barr had discussed any of the 12 or 14 case referrals out of the Special Counsel's office with people in the administration. Barr initially gives an unadorned, "No." Then, something somewhere in the wretched hive of scum and villainy that is his brain realizes he just lied under oath. Barr interrupts Blumenthal's follow up question for some world-class backpedaling.

Link to Daily Kos story and attendant footage.

As every day more gets exposed, and he will be one of them fully exposed for their crimes. He can't stop the truth exposing them all , but with trumps prodding has tried. It'll catch up to Barr, just a matter of time for him.

Barr did it in Iran/ Contra, thought he was smart enough to do it again.

Mueller is the only one with character. Barr and Rosenstein exposed themselves.

McCabe is now speaking out. You only make so many enemies before they expose you!

His attitude is one of being above the law, he inflates his ego every time he says he is the AG.

The criminal mind thinks different than normal people, they don't feel remorse, they don't see consequences, they feel entitled, and they have no shame. Those are the main reasons why criminals move their agendas so fast, why the destruction they create comes so quickly and catches everyone affected by surprise, they don't stop to do analysis, to find out what the consequences are, and for the most part they don't care how much they destroy, how many people get killed in the process (collateral damage), they are confident they will get away with it and they only see the prize at the end of the tunnel.

All for me....
None for you...

That is also their creed.

Then there is the Prosperity Gospel crowd,..
Because God deems that devout Christians will be rewarded handsomely,.. where as sinners and disciples of the anti-Christ will suffer all their days in poverty living as beggars and thieves to never savor the taste of riches and prosperity because God deems it so. Sinners and non-devout Christian receive no special dispensations from God and/or Jesus. They are to be hated and never rewarded.

Now, we are faced with the Attorney General of the United States deliberately lying to the Congress under oath and it's just another day.

Lying for trump in public is proof of loyalty. It's a mandate for membership in the inner circle. Great rewards are being promised to those who play their part.

We're witnessing the making of an autocracy.
