Sigh ... the lack of understanding on the part of Trump supporters is stunning.
Often, certainly, as are his opponents. I, however, am not now nor have I ever been a Trump supporter. He is a narcissistic compulsive liar with the self control and temperment of a toddler. He is wholly unfit for any office of public trust, much less the one he holds. I was (as near as I can tell) the first in this forum to identify and call out the stains of fascism in his movement, I left the GOP over his nomination, and spent half of 2015 and most of 2016 fighting other Conservatives over him.
That, however, doesn't mean that reality should be bent in ways to oppose him, any more than his supporters want to twist it to him. The idea that Barr lied as you have claimed is no more supported than Trump's many falsehoods, however his supporters try to justify them.
I think the ignorance is deliberate, y'all don't WANT to know the truth.
Ironically, that is the very behavior you seem to be evincing in this thread.
Let me try again, using the smallest words possible.
Barr does not give a damn if his lies are caught. His job is to DELAY, and to keep our attention on other things as much as he can
I don't see much supporting evidence for this, and, in fact, there is some solid evidence to the contrary. As a single, major, (if not defining) example: Barr was not required to release the Mueller report. If his priority had been to delay, he could have refused to do so, forcing Congress to force his hand... Then released the summaries, then made Congress find a way to force him to release the full report, etc. If your claim was correct, then you need to account for why his actions do not support it.
Watch the video. He has a couple of tells ... the first being that when a question is asked that he did not fully prepare for, he hmms and ums and asks for the question to be repeated. When he is telling an outright lie, watch his hands. When it's a real doozy of a question, he scratches the back of his head with his left hand, or folds his hands flat on the table in front of him with fingers laced.
...you are a mind reader now? :roll: this is about as credible as the people who claimed Obama's tan suit was a way of signaling weakness and surrender to our enemies.
It isn't about getting caught lying. Barr is likely counting on Trump to protect him from any consequences.
Unlikely. Firstly, Trump is completely unreliable, and those who work for him seem to know it. Secondly, one thing we've learned from the Mueller report is that Trump subordinates are willing to ignore his direction when he tries to get them to do things that would violate the law, like lying under oath.
What his master wants is as much delay as possible, which is why Barr is now defying a legal subpoena for the unredacted report.
Think about that for a minute ... the Attorney General of the United States is refusing to comply with the law
You are incorrect in two counts:
1. The unredacted report is already available to members of Congress.
2. Releasing the unredacted report to the public would violate the law. Congress does not have the power to compel someone to violate law.
How did we even get there?
Well, it's a long story, but a good starting point is the rise of mass conspiracy theory as a political tool while George W was President.....
If you voted for Trump, you helped bring on this darkness.
Quick question: who was the last Attorney General to be found in Contempt of Congress, and which administration had IC leadership lie to Congress about spying on the American public?
