Adam Schiff on Bill Barr: ‘He’s Doing What He’s Doing Because It Pleases Donald Trump’

EXCERPT:

SCHIFF: "Well, look, there’s not much that can happen to him. I mean, he’s doing what he’s doing because it pleases Donald Trump. That is sadly his aim. He views himself as the lawyer for the President, not the lawyer for the people of the United States of America. And that’s the way to longevity in the Trump Administration, which is you sing along the president’s songbook, whether that’s making bogus claims of spying on the President’s campaign or making bogus claims of no collusion. In fact, Bob Mueller was quite explicit that he didn’t reach whether collusion occurred as that term is known colloquially, only whether he could prove a criminal conspiracy in his attempts to sugarcoat what the President did. And gloss over the President’s refusal to cooperate with the investigation, refusal to testify verbally, his efforts to try to get others to mislead the country. I think Barr showed he should have never have been confirmed for the job in the first place."
