I made sure to use a Slate as a source with its obvious vitriol and partisan comments.Barr volunteered to testify until the Democrats switched formats in the last hour which he didn't agree with. It has nothing to do with who controlled the house vs senate it was the format the democrats threw together AFTER Barr said he would testify.
Lulz people can't even be asked to focus on facts rather than stupid ass partisan grandstanding. Now Nadler can subpoena him, let's see if Barr pulls an Eric Holder (fast and furious testimonies) in regards to this
😉
And why did he not agree with the change? Oh, that is right, because it puts him in legal jeopardy if he intends to lie before Congress. As the top law enforcement official in the country, Barr should have nothing to fear from being questioned by lawyers. In fact, an honest person who does not intend to lie under oath, has no reason to fear testifying at all.

First post, a former lawyer explains why anyone should fear talking to a good lawyer.

Absolutely, that's why he volunteered to testify in front of the house committee until they changed the rules after he said he would testify. 😉
The only people playing games here are the house democrats at this point and your disingenuous post speaking of truth and honesty 😉 The reason the Democrats changed the format wasn't because of the search for truth, they wanted to change the control of the narrative 🙄
Subpoena Barr now and go from there, we've seen how the Nadler acts when someone in good faith attempts to testify, he wanted to crucify the witness.

Barr deserves to be prosecuted because he committed a crime when he lied to Congress.If he is such an honest person, he has nothing to fear by testifying under oath, right?
Facts first please
"First, before issuing his four-page summary of Mueller’s two major conclusions, Barr gave the special counsel a chance to see the document and to offer comments and proposed edits. Mueller declined.
One rarely sees mention of this in mainstream media reporting, for an obvious reason — it makes Barr look good and Mueller look bad. It casts Mueller’s after-the-fact whining, or that of his “snitty” staff, in an unfavorable light.
Second, Barr, far from being uncooperative with Congress or trying to hide the ball, overrode normal Justice Department procedures and released the full Mueller report to the public with only minor redactions. Moreover, Congress has access to a version of the report that contains even less redacted material.
Barr stressed this point in his opening statement, but I don’t recall seeing it mentioned in mainstream media reporting. Again, the reason is obvious — it makes Barr look good and undercuts the furious attempts of Democrats to demonize him.
Finally, the media is covering for Mueller at Barr’s expense in another way. Barr testified that the Department of Justice, anticipating that redactions to the Mueller report would be necessary as a matter of law, encouraged Mueller’s team to identify portions of its report that would need to be redacted.
By doing so before submitting the report to the DOJ, Mueller would significantly reduce the time required before his report could be released to the public and to Congress. Barr testified that, shortly after becoming Attorney General, he personally made this point to Mueller.
But when Mueller submitted his report, it did not identify redactions. This meant that Barr’s team had to start the redaction project from scratch. As a result, the report could not be released as soon as Barr had hoped."
Weird.

Damn. WTF is up with the extremely dishonest and, frankly, treasonous narrative going on with the Dems?

I watched the whole video.
It was entertaining.

A democrat has announced that Mueller is "tentatively" expected to testify May 15th. Good, then we can move on.
That's probably career suicide for him. If he lies, his career is ruined in the face of overwhelming evidence. If he tells the truth, the Dems will ruin his career.

They would have subpoenaed him. I think in order to make up for the fact he found no crimes he's gonna try to at least damage Trump politically.
That's why the letter Mueller sent to Barr was more shady than most realized. When Barr pressed Mueller on what about his initial 4 page summary was inaccurate he said nothing was and just talked about how he didn't like how the media was portraying it.
So he found no crimes and nothing in Barr's summary was inaccurate, so why does this prosecutor with integrity care so much about how the media is making Trump look?
