Also, Barr's denial of knowing that Mueller was unhappy is only one of six false or evasive statements from Barr in yesterday's testimony:-

To that list of six, I'd add one more as well:

There is also the question about "Did Trump ask for Mueller to be fired?" Barr went into a weedling distinction about the difference between "firing someone" and "asking someone to be removed." Barr claimed that Trump only wanted the latter - even though in Mueller's report, the word used (something like 5 times) is "fired." It's one thing for the supposedly-impartial AG to give Trump the benefit of the doubt, but it is another thing when the AG invents a doubt that is not textually there, and then gives Trump the benefit of that too.
Bottom Line: Barr is a lying partisan charlatan who has betrayed his office, his integrity and the Justice Department all for the sake of placing Trump above the reach of the law.
