Would you go lie and get ready t go to jail? Du

A lawless 'president' has a lawless AG. How surprising.

Barr You Are Such a WEENIE. OTHERWISE Whats The Matter, Afraid Because We All Know You Lied your Face Off. But Your supposed to be AG, SO MAN UP. Otherwise We Will All Know You Are CHICKEN. RuleOfLaw CountryFirst Or are you 1just TrumpsPuppet Then you Better Resign CNN

Good. Why should we play partisan games with TheDemocrats ? Their investigation is completely non credible. When the dems grow up. We are happy to discuss infrastructure and other actually importsnt issues such as immigration.

Total disregard for our democracy.

So much for transparency!

He should. They are being idiots as usually !

Bought and paid for.

Scared like Trump.

Do not blame him....

He nerves,

HouseDemocrats Subpoena and then arrest warrant - get some nads

🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔

Subpoena now.

Don’t waste your time AG Barr

What's Barr afraid of?

Coward! What is he afraid of?

Hang him by the .....

Big bull barr can’t handle straight up questioning about his actions as AG. Afraid he might accidently stumble over the truth. You know, once he was an honorable man but that man morphed into emBARRasment to the rule of law. This BARRbaric AG who once swore an oath belongs to djt

Lock him up!

THREATEN AWAY FAT BOY BARR CONTEMPT OF CONGRESS LOCK BARR UP NO 2ND CHANCES LOCK HIM UP SHOW THEM THE LAW WILL BE ENFORCED

Really an aide? Is that a reliable source? Next you will be interviewing squirrels. Your nuts MSNBC!

Democrats need to use their election advantage and not let this scum, as trump has said, attorney general, decide what the judiciary committee can and can’t request from him.

No regard for law or our Democravy like his lying boss.

He’s a 🐔

I’d be happy if he was a no show. He’ll evade questions and speak to audience of one. He can can be subpoenaed. Censured. Fined and impeached if he ignores the constitutional right of congress to question him on the Mueller Report.

Another bizzard character in DTs line of corrupted swamp.Justice being unjust not respecting nor defending the law of the constitution.Shame on this AG.Should not be called a Justice representer.Does not deserve to carry a title in the justice enviornment.

I would like to see him in Handcuffs!

He is a waste of time anyway. America knows who he is and the content of his character. Time matters so spend it on people who matter in order to get justice all while working overtime on 2020.

Better off without it. It’s just going to be propaganda anyway.

POS

Barr being probably the most intelligent of all of 45's hand-picked stooges, he should know he can't just 'cancel' a meeting with Congress.

LockThemAllUp DerangedDonald AmericansForImpeachment

What is Droopy afraid of, his own shadow?

Contempt of court ?

Grow A Pair Barr Enough of your Namby Pamby BS Already. You are Trumps Tool, so cut the Man in Charge Air About You. Stop Acting Like a Crook & try to live up to ur title of AG. RuleOfLaw prevails You are really making a fool of Yourself. Be There CNN EdKrassen

Hold him in Contempt.

Give him a cheeseburger, he’ll be alright.

Lock him up!

“Cancel?”

Scared?

Smart move. He’s not required to placate these abuses of power by democrats who are using our money and time to garner campaign info for 2020. Work with POTUS to Fix The Border Crisis you Useless politicians!

Hold his ass in contempt! Come on Democrat’s, stop being pu$$ies already!

Might be s little scared about having to answer for his actions

Funny how 9% of people ignore reality until it punches them in the face and it hurts. Lose ur job ? Have this REGIME control the media ? What's next, wha

This criminal empire aka Trump admiration is getting away with murder.

But nothing to hide😉

Correction: “Suspected perjurist William Barr defies Congress by willfully refusing to comply with a lawful demand from Congress regarding his manipulation of the release of the report of the Special Counsel regarding foreign interference in the 2016 national election.” FTFY

He’s shitting his pants. Coward. He made the decision to shield Trump. He must go and defend himself. They’re all criminals. The whole administration. D’s better get their act together. The American people are done, do something!!!

LockHimUp

It is time for the House of Representatives to turn up the heat on Trump and anyone else who impedes their Constitutional authority(e.g. Mnuchin & Barr) ImpeachTrump RepublicansForImpeachment PurgeTheCorruptionNow

Good for him.

He should resign then if he can’t do his job .

Big law man’s a chicken shit... 🤔

Lock Him Up !!!! It's called contempt.

LockHimUp

This is our AG. Supreme defender of justice.?

Exactly! He is scared! He will testify in front of Trumpublicans but not the ones who are trying to save our country from these liars! They will all have their day! Prison wont be fun for all of them! They need to be put right up in the yard with the rest of the criminals!

Supeana him

The democrats show disrespect. They subpoenaed him, they should question him. They are only trying to trip him up in a closed hearing, to jump on him in an open hearing. Barr is smarter than they are.

What is Barr afraid of? Could it be the truth being exposed?

Good. I hope he gives they the double middle finger.

Lock him up

Cancel? He can just cancel? I’m not sure that’s how it works.

Too bad for Barr It's not how any of this works.

I think the minute he doesn't show, rep. Nadler should hold the hearing without his testimony & outline every inconsistency between his summary & the report and then he should close the hearing by reading articles of impeachment against ag barr into the record.

Cancel? I think you mean to say 'stand in contempt of'. But I guess yall are the supposed journalists here.

He can’t cancel anything - he can turn up, or he can be subpoenaed and then risk jail

🤣 he hasnt even done anything yet and has people all in bunches. I remember this same uproar when FBI lawyer Lisa Page said she was going to defy the house subpoena...wait, there wasnt an uproar. Nor during all the Ballsy Ford demands/conditions.

Talk about cowardly lyin'...

Cancel it he is not going to help you.

“Failure to appear” seems to be the legal term.

Ok. You go right on ahead and cancel Billy. No problem. House better have some enforcement on hand because right now he's testing Congress. He's destroying rule of law. And, even if he shows, he'll just lie.. BECAUSE THERE ARE NO CONSEQUENCES FOR HIM TO CONTINUE BREAKING THE LAW

I don’t think he has the authority to unilaterally “cancel” his appearance. This isn’t an invitation to a pizza party.

He can cancel until a subpoena is issued. Then he can either testify or go to jail. Congress is ELECTED. Trump SHILLS are Appointed and rubber-stamped by Mitch “the commie lover” McConnell.

Then subpoena him, if he still doesn't comply lock him up.

Does the US government function anymore? There sure are a lot of people ignoring our laws?

Cowardly Trump attorney Barr will only appear before Senate committee with majority republicans including chief sycophant Lindsey graham.

He should be indicted for obstruction.

Democrats looking soft! If THEY snag the 2 biggest fish In TRUMPS sea, It will PUT RESPECT back in process. Get of OFF T.V. & Support your subpoenas WITH A snatch & grab.

Cancel? AG Barr may ignore Congress and risk imprisonment to protect Trump's crimes.

If he does, he knows he lied. What did he hide? Obstruction and collusion of Drumpf. DERRANGEDDONALD

Barr should be held in contempt then.

hardball Young people don’t care about the Mueller Report.

He doesn't get to 'cancel' a Congressional hearing

He’s “canceling” his appearance like I’m “canceling” paying my bills this month. Doesn’t mean I’m not obligated to pay my bills.

Let’s see where that gets him?

Tail wagging the dog . Enough of this crap Make him appear or put him and the rest of them on jail.

Indict Barr for Obstruction- HE’S not a sitting president

he's their EMPLOYEE - Impeach the arrogant mofo

He works for us, we are his boss. He has been ordered show up. If he doesn't then hold him in contempt.

Most transparent government ever!!

He wouldn't be cancelling, you nitwits. He would be breaking the law. FFS

Kind of wimpy don’t you think. He is hiding what... WHAT BARR? What diabolical schemes to destroy democracy are you hiding?

Already done this before.

Subpoena !!

I wasn’t under the impression he had a choice .

He is not in a position to cancel his testimony. They told him to show, he didn't volunteer

LOCK HIM UP

Well then Congress, get those law enforcers in gears and throw his fat ass in jail. That’s where he belongs.

Subpoena and arrest

Wimp 🔥

If the GOP ran the House, Obama would have been impeached by now. It is the duty of the House to begin Impeachment hearing. Trump has committed crimes against the country. Stop being wimps

Lock him up.

Impeach the lawless coward.

Can’t the house force him by legal means? And if he doesn’t comply throw him in a cage

He thinks that he works for a king who will protect him. No protection or special treatment. Send in the US Marshals if he doesn’t comply.

Why... what’s he so afraid of

Only because he knows what he is guilty for. Doing a halfassed job ignoring real justice to give in to a criminal. Shame on you. You need to disbarred

Well, that would be stupid of him.

Please do! Then we'll see in a barrel!

So let me understand this story. MSNBC is reporting this on the basis of comments from a Democrat aide? Hmm. That sounds reliable.

And he should.

Why bc he is also taking a page out of the trump lie book? He manufactured a conclusion and has now added to the horrific trend our nation is following with trump at the helm.

They outta threaten him with comtempt and Jail time!

Bullshit tweet. Very misleading. Barr has agreed to testify before Congress. He is disagreeing with the Democrats demand that he be questioned by staffers and not members of Congress. This is why the public has so little respect for our media...

Wonder how AG Barr will look in an orange jumpsuit. Nadler ain’t playing so go ahead and make his day! I can’t wait for you to defyCongress!

that is what he is going to do. What is the next move? Nothing as usual?

Sham sham aham

He doesn't get to 'cancel' shit.

Subpoena his ass now, or send marshals

All they would ask is gotya questions!!!

How can anyone do this? I bet I couldnt.

This man should be removed

hardball Partisan Politics... the Congressional Dems and the Liberal Media just can’t accept they lost the 2016 Election... so it’s just another day of screw-up Dems producing nothing...

Go get em AG Barr. Expose democratic stupidity. Will not be difficult especially if it’s the judiciary committee.

Let him. He’ll just lie anyway.

SoSofieFatale Can a sitting AG be arrested for contempt of Congress?

Jail him for contempt of Congress.

Subpoena his ass that’s all.

Subpoena and perp walk, show you’re not playing games!

He doesn't get to 'cancel'. He needs to drag his fat, corrupt carcass in as so ordered. BarrIsCorrupt

Hey kids, you’re not being clear: That’s called ‘failure to appear’, not ‘witness cancelling’- wtf?!

Looks like someone is worried about getting Catina their own lies covering up for Trump’s illegitimate Pres

Morning_Joe ChrisCuomo CNN CBSNews NBCNews FBI CIA SecretService GOP realDonaldTrump IF UR LISTENING 2 REALITY POLITICS THIS IS CALLED PARTISAN RATS RUNNING--UR JOB FEDS IS 2 SEE AMERICA RECEIVES JUSTICE NOT PROTECTING CRIMINAL POTUS & SOON-2-B-1 AG-GET IN FRONT OF IT!!

You media are to blame for all the lies and misinformation. He does not have the right to cancel. He does not have the authority to cancel. He can fail to appear which is a different matter altogether.

hardball ImpeachBarr

As he should, Democrats abusing their power

And if he keeps refusing lock his ass up

. . I guess all the people with court dates can decide whether or not to show up for court! ... nothing happens to them right? . WHEN DO THESE CROOKS HAVE A CONSEQUENCE TO THEIR ACTIONS? .... like all the other citizens.

HOLD HIM IN CONTEMPT Don't give him an option, he doesn't have one.

Threaten the committee? Really? More like FAIL to appear or VIOLATE the order to testify.

Does someone want to tell this man he is not above the law, just like the President. If he does not show subpoena him, if he does not then charge him with contempt and arrest him. If it were any other American citizen we would be.

If he doesn’t show up the subpoena him. If he continues to refuse arrest him. Show some balls Dems!

hardball Wuss!

Awe what’s the matter he doesn’t want questions that are too hard to give a truthful answer to knowing that it could ruin his career and piss daddy trump off...too bad you work for me and every single American...own your lies and cover ups like a real man would

People (witnesses) don't get to 'cancel their testimony' any more than they get to make the rules for the hearings. More accurately, your tweet should say, 'Barr may FAIL TO APPEAR before the House Judiciary Committee …'

'May threaten'? So did he threaten or not? Or are you guess he might threaten? Confusing headline makes you think he already did threaten...... or was that what you were trying to do?

hardball Pretty sure AG Barr has nothing to contribute anyway. He is a disgrace, and should resign.

How about mentioning in the headline how that makes a subpoena inevitable? Or, is it more about the clickbait than the truth?

If this patrician AG refuses to testify before the House Judicial Commitee, it should be OBVIOUS that he is hidding something!😖

No worries make 'em wait! You've got more important things to do besides sitting in front of all those nitwits watching them grandstand all day.

LEAKING LIKE DIRTY DIAPERS: Ilhan RepRashida LEAK EVERYTHING TO THE PRESS - TheJusticeDept POTUS WHITEHOUSE SpeakerPelosi GUARD CLASSIFIED INFORMATION FROM THESE ANTI-SEMITES WHO'RE DIVIDING AMERICANS IN THE HOUSE AND DESTROYING OUR SYSTEMS. WHO LEAKED THIS? THEY DID.

Impeach

Traitor!

Subpoenaing him will shutdown his bluff.

Just call Mueller, skip the drama

If AG Barr refuses to appear, dosen't that mean he is in contempt and is subject to be arrested? I don't understand why we are tip towing around these idiots!?!?

RELEASE THE WHOLE REPORT! Then we’ll know what’s true and what isn’t, BUT ONLY after analyzing the WHOLE REPORT, NOT DRIVEL FROM A BARR BOY! Be not afraid; RELEASE THE REPORT! If there’s no collusion/obstruction, GREAT, but Trump’s administration is NOT TRUSTED! HE EARNED THAT!

IMPEACH THIS.MUTT. HE HAS A FALSE SENSE OF POWER BECAUSE TRUMP IS HIS CHEERLEADER. BARR IS NOT ABOVE THE POWER OF THE CONGRESS. HE WILL LOSE. WHEN REPUBLICANS WERE IN MAJORITY OF CONGRESS, THEY WERE GIVEN RESPECT. NOW THAT DEMOCRATS ARE IN MAJORITY..REPUBLICANS ACT LIKE KIDS..

'AG abdicates all constitutional norms and embraces Trump kleptocracy.'

GO AHEAD..SKIP. YOU ARE NOT DONALD TRUMP. YOU WILL BE IMPEACHED ON THE FLOOR OF CONGRESS. WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK CONGRESS IS. A PLAY THING, A SCOUT GROUP? LET'S REGROUP:

What's really funny and ironic... The teeth-gnashing when we heard Benghazi and Fast and Furious fatigue were 'worn-out' and nothing damaging occurred. This BS theater is why the productive backbone of America laughs and then elects a TV reality show guy as president.

I’m sure that Kitty will do whatever the Fat Orange Cat tells him to do.

And he should

ImpeachBarr

Obstruction

That’s failure to appear

Then put him in jail for contempt of Congress.

What is the downside to impeaching him even if the senate won’t convict. The house will impeach and it will bring daylight to Barr’s chicanery

notComey Who needs to hear him spin. Go straight to the source. Subpoena Mueller yesterday!

Subpoena him and lock him up. housethedemocrats.

He applied for the job of suck up & now is proving his worth to LiarInChief at the same time doing the federalist society's goal to rewrite the constution the way they want it FedSoc using DerangeDonald as their tool to do it.

Congress has to tell me flintstone to get his sorry ass in the chair and answer questions what is he afraid of the wrath of his orange master

Honest people don’t act this way.

Please fix this tweet - he chooses not to appear. The committee is the one who has the authority to cancel. Not him.

The outlaws are running the show. When are the democrats going to show that they have cojones? Time to act NOW. F/them. Impeach and indict the law is on your side

CancelBarr instead. He doesn’t get to cancel an appearance. These mobbed up goons are destroying the country and running off with the cash.

THIS IS EFFING NUTS! TrumpBarrConspiracy

He can’t cancel. He may refuse but he can’t cancel.

He's objecting to testifying in front of REAL LAWYERS like the REPUBLICANS FORCED Dr. Blaise-Ford to do in the Kavanaughseous hearings. WHAT ARE YOU AFRAID OF, BARR? THE EFFING TRUTH!!!! Subpoena this TRUMP SYCOPHANT who has hijacked our Justice system! TrumpBarrConspiracy

Gee what a surprise. Is he still pretending to be the people's attorney?

I am old enough to remember when a then Secretary of State HRC testified for 10 hours straight with no pre-conditions when asked to by a congressional committee. What is Barr and Trump afraid of?

He doesn’t get to cancel. He will fail to appear.

To RepJerryNadler, If the Attorney General doesn't show, you've got to LockHimUp. TheJusticeDept

How pathetic! Anyone, especially any GOP members, who cannot see how corrupt and obstructionist this administration is are shameless enablers.

So subpoena him and if he still doesn’t, throw some bracelets on him, he will change his mind real quick, I promise you, Men like him are weak

If AG 'roy cohn' doesn't appear, RepJerryNadler should still hold the hearing as scheduled. Without 'roy's' stalling and denials, the Democrats and their Counsel should spend the hearing detailing all the contradictions between the Mueller report and the barr2.0 version.

Subpoena and then arrest.

Whole thing a dog & pony show.

Seems like barr has a lot to hide about that scumbag trump A CRIMINAL PROTECTS ANOTHER CRIMINAL they all stick together

Subpoena him. Then throw him in jail if he refuses.

Who does Barr work for? Dirty scum at the top all right

He cannot stand up under the scrutiny. No mystery here.

impeach

is that considered obstructing justice?...

This is the AG of the people!!!

Like Holder on gun gate -- LOL

Barr is just chicken shit of being questioned by people who know how to ask real tough questions.

Ahh the good ole days.. So many parallels. John Mitchell U.S. Attorney General, he served as chairman of Nixon's 1972 presidential campaign. Due to multiple crimes he committed in the Watergate affair, Mitchell was sentenced to prison in 1977 and served 19 months.

Iron Barr is the man!

Seriously would we be missing much. Like looking over a book cover for the contents of the book. Call Mueller in to testify OPEN THE DAMNED BOOK!!

Barr does not want to hide the his questioning behined locked doors. The House wants to question him in private and make up the amswers. Let's keep it out in the open enought hiding by Democrats!

Why isn't he happy to answer questions about the report he claims fully exonerates Trump? 🤔

Well my mates dog says he is

Subpoena him and if he’s uncooperative, instigate impeachment procedures!

But not canceling his much friendlier time before the senate. Who does he work for again? 🤔

Doesn’t want to miss his “Elton John on Dialysis Look-Alike” contest.

Of course, telling the truth and throwing Trump under the bus is a worst choice. Take ur pick. Corruption like never before, and 95% of Americans are not in tune to the reality of losing a democracy

He doesn’t have to be there if he doesn’t want to be. I’m fine with it.

AG Barr doesn't know what to do....Trump is leaving him hanging out there on his own. AG Barr needs that verbal code from Trump that is a little more direct. Fun to watch in real time.

I'd be scared to face the HouseDemocrats too after all his shenanigans and suicide attempt to save realDonaldTrump.

Msnbc...AGBarr VOLUNTEERED to speak to the house, not the JUDICIARY COMMITTEE!! 😂. That’s where criminals testify!! The AG is not a criminal. He didn’t even need to release Muellers report, for goodness sake!

. Just tell Nadler to kiss your ass...

Arrest him.

What a surprise. Can't he go to jail if he doesn't comply with a subpoena?

this fat tub of complicit lard should have done us all a favor and cancelled his appearances at his nomination hearings

No one is going to do anything and the subpoenas are worthless.

Who cares? We need to move on and stop wasting taxpayers dollars and work for the people of America

Can't see him anymore anyway

Let's start the impeachment hearings already and put the full light on this garbage and treachery.

Are these the same sources that claimed that there was collusion with Russia? Because we all know how well that turned out.. 🤣

mrcz032308 lolol

Dont say he may stop them...DO SOMETHING!!

Throw this fat-ass in the clink!

We can always take away his choice and just subpoena him. hint hint

Why is Barr not in handcuffs yet, RepJerryNadler?

Lock Him Up!!!!!!
