Breaking Down Barr's Pre-Report Presser
Breakdown and analysis of Attorney General William P. Barr's news conference with Michael Waldman, president of the Brennan Center for Justice at NYU School of Law, and Jessica Roth, professor of law at Cardozo School of Law and former federal prosecutor in the United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York.
@BrianLehrer Everything comes down to the usage of our language....words. Barr’s words were suspicious and misleading. He sounded more like Trump’s attorney than OUR US Attorney General. His press conference was an attempt to color the public’s opinion favorably for the WH.

Why should Trump’s (childlike behavior)feelings of frustration &(paranoia) that he & campaign were being watched be considered at all for decisions of this investigation! So, no criminal should be indicted bc he stole money out of frustration that he couldn’t get what he wants?

Media: "If he spins a #Report pre-release, A.G. Barr will usurp a role of the press and - ultimately - of the public"

Barr: "Here's my spin. You get the report after lunch"
