.MaddowBlog: In bizarre press conference, AG Barr said what Pres. Trump wanted to hear.
All Attorney General Bill Barr had to do was release Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s report. That’s it. Donald Trump’s handpicked attorney general could’ve simply let the document, its findings, and its conclusions speak for themselves.
Consider this excerpt from Barr’s prepared remarks, in which he seemed to justify his conclusion that Trump didn’t cross the legal line into obstruction of justice. “Nonetheless, the White House fully cooperated with the special counsel’s investigation, providing unfettered access to campaign and White House documents, directing senior aides to testify freely, and asserting no privilege claims. And at the same time, the president took no act that in fact deprived the special counsel of the documents and witnesses necessary to complete his investigation.”
The president also publicly dangled pardons and publicly criticized the very idea of witnesses cooperating with law enforcement.
