'Trump is still president and the big gotcha was they got Barr to commit perjury, which apparently is some old-timey law about lying being wrong.'
Bill Maher ripped into Capitol Hill's biggest names Friday night during the opening monologue of his HBO show Real Time with Bill Maher, targeting Attorney General William Barr's fatherly affection for the Mueller report, President Donald Trump's phone chat with Russia's Vladimir Putin, and Hillary Clinton for alleged joke theft.
Maher pointed to the revelation this week that Special Counsel Robert Mueller had called Barr in March to express concern about the attorney general's four-page summary Mueller's 448-page report. Regarding Wedneday's Senate committee hearing, where lawmakers grilled the attorney general on the Mueller letter, Maher suggested that Democrats ultimately don't have much to be proud about.
As for Thursday's planned testimony before the House Judiciary Committee—the one where Barr opted not to show up, Maher pointed out that"legal experts are now saying that, ya know, this is a constitutional crisis, the likes of which we have not seen in three or four days." Finally, Maher pounced on Hillary Clinton for what he saw as blatant joke theft. Earlier this week, the former Democratic presidential nominee appeared on Rachel Maddow's MSNBC show, where she presented a hypothetical.
