Here’s a breakdown of who took the brunt of Barr’s blame.
Barr went after the FBI, starting at the very top, acknowledging that he’d had a problem with how then-Director James Comey handled the conclusion of the Hillary Clinton email investigation. “ I said so at the time,” the attorney general said.
“I was referring to the kind where you are told … you’re a specific target,” the attorney general said. “I have been told at the break that a lesser kind of briefing, a security briefing that generally discusses, in general, threats apparently was given to the campaign in August,” the attorney general said.
“Would it be unusual to your knowledge to hide existence and results from their superiors?” Hawley asked Barr used the opportunity to offer some praise for Mueller for the criminal indictments he brought against Russian military intelligence and the alleged online troll farm known as the Internet Research Agency.
“I didn’t seek it,” the attorney general said of the waiver, which allowed him to participate in a case that involves a senior partner from his former law firm representing Goldman Sachs in the investigation.Barr also took some swings at modern technology and the press, as well as the pressures created by the public fascination with Mueller’s investigation.
