“That’s banana republic stuff! That is North Korea. That is Russia. That is China. What separates us from the rest of the world ... is our respect for the rule of law,' former Senator Claire McCaskill said. 'And this guy is trampling all over it!”
MSNBC host Joe Scarborough slammed Attorney General William Barr on Thursday morning following his Wednesday testimony to the Senate Judiciary Committee, calling him a “dictator’s lawyer.”
Attorney General William Barr testifies before the Senate Judiciary Committee on May 1 in Washington, D.C. Win McNamee/Getty Images Morning Joe co-host Mika Brzezinski then jumped in, saying: “Well, that does appear to be America, right?” Despite having received that letter expressing concern from the special counsel, Barr told Representative Charlie Crist in previous testimony to the House Appropriations Committee that he didn’t know about any concern from Mueller’s team. When he was asked by senators on Wednesday why he had not mentioned being aware of Mueller’s concern, Barr struggled to explain his reasoning.
Fox News’ senior judicial analyst Andrew Napolitano, a former New Jersey Superior Court judge, said that he believes Barr “misled” lawmakers with his testimony and was “splitting hairs.”
