Andy McCarthy: The Big Lie That Barr Lied

The Big Lie That Barr Lied by Andrew C. McCarthy: "I originally thought this was too stupid to write about. But stupid is like the plague inside the Beltway — one person catches it and next thing you know there’s an outbreak at MSNBC and the speaker of the House is showing symptoms while her delirious minions tote ceramic chickens around Capitol Hill.

"So I give you: the Bill Barr perjury allegation.

. . . "If I were a cynic, I’d think people were trying to get out in front of some embarrassing revelations on the horizon. I might even be tempted to speculate that progressives were trotting out their “Destroy Ken Starr”  template for Barr deployment (which, I suppose, means that 20 years from nowwe’ll be reading about what a straight-arrow Barr was compared to whomever Democrats are savaging at that point)." . . .

Kamala Harris’s glass house  "When Kamala Harris started throwing stones at AG Barr during the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on Wednesday, she apparently forgot that she lives in a very big glass house.

"In case you’ve forgotten what she demanded of the eminent lawyer sitting before her, here is a video of the question, starting at the point in her questioning when she was laying the predicate for chastising him for not reviewing the supporting documents of the Mueller Report, which, we should note, include over a million pages." . . .

. . . "Less than two months ago, we read about Senator Harris’s lack of due diligence on one of her signature issues, sexual harassment:

Sen. Kamala Harris, a 2020 candidate for president, says she still has not spoken to the woman who sued one of her longtime staff members of sexual harassment, leading to a $400,000 settlement.

"In this specific case, I have not talked to the victim," the California Democrat said in a recent interview with Univision. "That case is being handled by the Attorney General's Office and I've left it up to that office to handle the case as they've seen fit, which included a settlement.". . . 

William Barr Made A Major Disclosure In His Senate Hearing That Hardly Anyone Noticed  "In a little-noticed exchange during his Senate hearing Wednesday, Attorney General William Barr made a surprising disclosure that could allow the public and press to obtain sensitive details about the origins of the Trump-Russia probe.

"During a back-and-forth with Democratic Illinois Sen. Dick Durbin, Barr identified Alexander Downer, a former Australian diplomat, as the FBI’s source for the information that sparked the bureau’s counterintelligence investigation into George Papadopoulos and other Trump campaign associates.

"The federal government had not officially identified Downer as the source until Wednesday. His role in the investigation was publicly known, but only through press reports and his own statements to the media." . . .

When the third time is not the charm via Lucianne.

In the beginning, it was collusion with the Russians that the Democrats were counting on to send the president to obscurity, or worse. When that partisan fantasy dissolved like snow on a sunny day, the Democrats seized obstruction of justice as the crime of the century. The special counsel concluded there was not enough there, either. Now the only “high crime and misdemeanor” left to imagine is that the attorney general “lied to Congress.” Without a shred of reliable evidence, that’s the thinnest fantasy of all. The third time is definitely not the charm. So what’s next? Is there a scandal.  . . .
