President Donald Trump said Wednesday night that special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation would not have happened if Attorney General William Barr was in his current position
at the time. Barr “is a great gentleman,” Trump told host Sean Hannity in an interview on Fox News. “Had he been there initially, this all would not have happened.”

Barr, a Trump appointee, released a summary on Sunday of special counsel Robert Mueller’s nearly two-year investigation into whether Trump’s campaign colluded with Russia and
whether Trump obstructed justice in the 2016 presidential election.

Trump told Hannity on Wednesday that the FBI’s conduct, specifically that of former bureau officials Peter Strzok and Lisa Page, amounted to treason in the months leading up to the
election. “If the Republican Party had done this to Democrats, if we had done this to President [Barack] Obama, you’d have 100 people in jail right now and it would be treason,” Trump
said Wednesday.

When Hannity asked Trump if he would consider pardoning Michael Flynn and George Papadopoulos, who both admitted lying to the FBI in the Mueller investigation, Trump said he did
not “want to talk about pardons now.” “Many, many people were hurt, incredibly hurt, by this whole scam,” he told Hannity. “I don’t want to talk about pardons now, but ... it’s so sad on
so many levels.”

This shit is not over. Justice will be served.

How many times does it need to be repeated. If Trump has nothing to fear from the investigation or the report. He would have done everything in his power to make sure the investigation went smoothly and make sure that the report could be publicly read by every single american.

So if Barr had been the AG, he wouldn't have let the Mueller investigation happen.
But we're supposed to trust him when he summarizes the Mueller report.
okay, yeah, sure, whatever you say

And are they STILL going on about those two people on the investigation team who sent texts criticizing Trump?
The ones who were removed from the team as soon as their texts were discovered? Months before any news organization even knew?
What were they supposed to do, psychically know those two would make anti-Trump texts before they even made them?

It's like criticizing a theme park as "dangerous" because a few years back they discovered a planned roller coaster was unsafe during construction and tore it down before it was opened.

So, you're basically admitting that Barr is a partisan stooge who is perfectly willing to help you obstruct justice?

wtf I love Emboldened Trump, yet again publicly admitting his own criminality and arrogantly putting healthcare on the chopping block because that worked out sooooo well for republicans in November

It won't happen because apparently nothing's mattered to Republicans since 2015, but Trump getting this far and then tripping hard on his victory lap would be a hilarious end to this whole thing.
