I don't think he told them to lie, rather he told them to not appear. Petey, as usual you are like the MSM, you have to misconstrue the story. You people are like a trip that never left the farm except for the haze of giggle smoke. Mike

Snip>>Maybe Barr, the nation’s top law-enforcement official, just isn’t qualified to judge! “I’m not in the business of determining when lies are told to the American people,” he told Senator Richard Blumenthal at another point in the hearing. “I’m in the business of determining when a crime has been committed.”

There was a link provided to the article. You could have easily verified if he said that or not.

The point I'm making is just what happened to conservative ethics? The types of behavior that you used to accuse Democrats of doing you now do and don't think twice about it. We have an administration, not just president, who enlists the most incredible behavior and it doesn't even cause you conservative's to blink. It makes me want to look up the definition of conservative and see if it even fits the opposition party anymore. I am beginning to think that it doesn't. What it seems to come down to now is power and doing wh**ever it takes to keep it. It no longer matters if an action is moral or ethical--if it walks the line of being legal and it helps us to maintain power is all that seems to matter. What makes you think you can make America great again when you've given up on that which made conservatism a great ideology...

Vanity Fair. Now there’s a great source of news. Holder and Lynch were two of the most corrupt Attorneys General ever. Yet they loved em. In Peter’s case just because they were black.

Okay, how about from Barr's own mouth? The Hill, a conservative media source, on their twitter account, there is a video from that hearing with Barr saying exactly that. Intelligent people can find out if something is true or not on their own. You make an awful lot of false assumptions on an awful lot of seemingly legitimate sources without bothering to even verify the legitimacy of your claims. I could understand if a site was known for f**e news, but when and where have you or anyone else posted proof that Vanity Fair is f**e news?

You are not qualified to argue Law Barr is exactly right. I have googled three sources all giving differing context.
Just google Vanity Fair on Trump or Barr. If you can’t see obvious bias you are just what I thought. Another worthless troll. Not because of IQ or stupidity. Hell you might have a very well hidden IQ of 160. However; your obvious bias will never allow you debate, just site left wing sources. It’s what trolls do. Have fun trolling.

Did I say anything about whether he was right or wrong? I made no such comment, I merely pointed out your ignorance when you automatically called it "f**e news". Stop while you are behind.

Edit: And for your information, when people continually do questionable things, they will of course get plenty of negative coverage. That doesn't actually show a bias, how one reports on the negative, that shows bias, when they report on something positive in a negative light, that shows bias, not when one reports the facts as they are.

Vanity Fair is only questionable if the story is false. It isn't, and my comment wasn't about Barr but the state of Conservatism. There was a time when corruption and unethical behavior was expected of Liberals but you Conservatives were above it. No more. Now you are as corrupt and unethical as Liberals ever were. I think it's unfortunate because when both ideologies have no ethics or principles then the only question is whether we want to elect someone really corrupt or someone really corrupt. The choice is irrelevant...

By LAW Barr did nothing unethical. Your left wing sources are mostly innuendo.

If you can't keep up, don't bother chiming in. The question was never if he was saying it was okay to lie, it was merely pointing out what he DID say. Someone listed in this timeline of the conversation implied that the article pointing out what Barr DID say was "f**e news" I merely pointed out that he jumped to that conclusion WITHOUT the benefit of facts or even bothering to do any research.

And your point is... Does the name of the thread AND it's corresponding article headline say anything about whether what he said was wrong? Keep up or bugger off. The point of the post of mine that you chose to reply to was only pointing out to another that Barr DID say what the article claimed he said, contrary to what another poster implied.
