Opinion: Democrats fear Barr
By Ed Rogers Ed Rogers Opinion writer focusing on politics Email Bio Follow Opinion writer May 2 at 11:12 AM With well-choreographed leaks and hyped headlines, the Democrats and their allies in the media want to create a feud between special counsel Robert S. Mueller III and Attorney General William P. Barr. The goal: Suggest that the attorney general acted inappropriately and obscured the real conclusions of the special counsel’s report.
Barr explained his understanding that Mueller was frustrated with how the media reacted to his March 24 letter to Congress, and he also referenced a phone conversation the two had after Barr received Mueller’s March 27 letter. That, in a nutshell, is the answer to Wednesday morning’s headlines. The rest was recycled Washington swamp talk of the kind that those who aren’t political junkies have learned to tune out.
