ATTORNEY GENERAL/DEMS/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “Democrats repeatedly admonished Attorney General William Barr at a contentious Senate hearing Wednesday [5-1-19], accusing him of bias and lying, and even calling for his resignation. Barr’s response to many of those salvos? Throw others under the bus. The pass-the-buck approach spared few over four-plus hours of questioning about Barr’s handling of special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation. A POLITICO tally of the transcript counted more than 30 times when the attorney general redirected the criticism, with a number of figures ending up as collateral casualties.”
