Bill Barr haltingly admits campaigns offered stolen dirt by foreign enemies should maybe call FBI

Christ, what an asshole.
Wow, this sure was a moment for the ages in today's Capitol Hill grilling of Trump's coverup man, aka our Attorney General, Bill Barr. What a massive disgrace this guy is, and what damage he is doing to the nation. Watch this video and see how he splits hairs over whether presidential campaigns should maybe contact the FBI when offered hostile dirt on an opponent from a foreign government.
Another doozy of an excerpt from Aaron Rupar's thread.

So much to be shocked by.
'I'm not in the business of determining when lies are told to the American people. I'm in the business of determining when a crime has been committed.'
Yes, Attorney General William Barr.
The entire hearing was bizarre.

I just have to say this hearing with the attorney general is totally surreal.

Justifying the means of committing the crimes is usually the last thing the criminal does before the caper is up.

What Kasie said.
I'm still replaying Barr saying he doesn't recall if he has discussed criminal investigations with the White House and President Trump.
Barr said I had no "substantive" conversations and I can't recall.
That's stunning. https://t.co/9o4DGp54IK

53) Mazie Hirono exposed William Barr so badly, Lindsey Graham had to jump in and make a fool of himself just to distract from it.
