BREAKING: Per a congressional source, the House Judiciary Committee has been notified by the DOJ that Attorney General Barr is NOT coming to testify tomorrow. DOJ has told the committee to expect a letter officially stating that shortly, according to my source.

Since he’s up to his elbows and miss direction, changed stories and potential complete fabrications after today, it’s probably a great idea Barr stays away. The great idea for him that is. I just wish contempt of Congress had some teeth and they go haul his ass out In handcuffs and throw him in a brig. subpoena ad testificandum Coming his way?

You need to think that is about the last thing in the world that he wants to do.

I dunno. Considering that his long-time friend is throwing him and his work under the bus, he might be more inclined to speak than you might think.

Absolutely. You don't break your buns for two years and then have the fruits of your investigation basically pooped on. I'm actually surprised that he hasn't 'leaked' a non-redacted copy yet.

This. Judging by the letter, he's not happy. Also, Barr calling it "snitty" (wut?) and then suggesting it was written by a staffer instead of Mueller will lead to fantastic fireworks.

While we were all watching Barr's big day out, the WH moved to challenge the legality of the ACA. They care enough about pre-existing conditions to try to strike down the entire law and letting the economics sort it out.

Rep. Doug Collins (R-Ga.): “The reason Bill Barr is not here today is because the Democrats decided they didn’t want him here today. That’s the reason he’s not here. Not hearing from him is a travesty to this committee today.”
