After shaming himself yet again and proving he’s nothing more than Trump’s political hack, Barr had the nerve to attack Robert Mueller as “snitty”.
What a buffoon. https://t.co/jjXPQxKnfo— Joe Scarborough (@JoeNBC) May 1, 2019

Here is the complete exchange, via CSPAN, between Kamala Harris and Bill Barr — including the part where Barr couldn't say whether Trump or anyone in the White House has ever suggested that he open an investigation into anyone. It's worth a watch. pic.twitter.com/wJOdSFR7JR

Kamala Harris: Did you eat lunch today?
William Barr: I don't know
Harris: How can you not know?
Barr: I'm grappling with the word "eat"
Harris: Did you consume food today?
Barr: I don't know if I'd say "consume"
Harris: Did food go in your mouth?
Barr: I'm really not sure

After watching Attorney General Barr’s tortuous explanations for a long list of misrepresentations, it’s clear:
Barr views himself as Trump’s lawyer, not America’s lawyer
He was hired with an agenda to protect Trump
And Barr, like his boss, is grossly unfit for the office

The sacking of Defence Secretary Gavin Williamson makes him the 38th person to have left the May Government in just over 12 months, and the sixth Cabinet minister. It’s a departure record.

My favourite Gavin Williamson story is when he decided to pardon two ferocious army dogs following a campaign by The Sun and turned up to do the photoshoot only to find them ready to rip his throat out, so had to be positioned a longggg way in front. https://t.co/gj5yumhmag pic.twitter.com/402LkQBCfW
