Barr has something up his sleeve. When he has this press conference, I suspect that he

will have some kind of verbiage that will send the gullible media chasing another distraction. However, the public is now aware of what a prick he is.

At this point the media knows Barr is full of shit. I hope the reporting is derisive and condemning of this atrocity.

Its the only sure fire way to change the narrative off this report.

#Traitor implied yesterday that something big is dropping today. That would fit the bill

He's going to say the Mueller report proved that it was the nations intelligence services that were traitors and who put them up to it and they will go to jail And yes, the media will be all over it, they represent the 1% and their bosses will make them report this. Now will so,e say, yeah, we've heard this lie before and not falling for it again - yes. But you can bet your bottom dollar the Senate Judiciary Committee will be all over this, pushing it to the max. Meanwhile he will refuse to answer questions about Mueller. The only real question here is Mueller a traitor as well or is it just Barr lies? WE don't know at this time, but need to see the unredacted report to ee details of drumpf treachery and find out from Mueller if he was ordered to stop before he was really done.

it got Trump elected president.

Barr is going to announce an investigation into the FBI, and investigation of Christopher Steele, an investigation to expose the deep state, and the M$M will fawn all over it.

Is Barr that brazen to do that? We shall see. It seems implausible but this entire administration is implausible.

he can control and stifle the other investigations that are going on. The only investigations he can't control are those being done by state A.G.'s.

Democrats need to make his life miserable, he is conspiring with Trump for God's sake. We need some Democrats to attack him at his next appearance before Congress on May 2nd I think. Freaking ask him some tough questions for crying out loud, Democrats need to come prepared, need to meet ahead of time to not ask duplicate questions.
How about even raising their voices now and again when questioning him?

As there own personal weapon against any and all investigations , and soon to do exactly like putin does in russia, to go after anyone who opposes him , or tries to investigate him. Putin is normalizing the same things here he used in russia to have absolute power , and corrupt their government with. Barr is just another weapon for them to use and abuse until he refuses to any longer , then they'll get another lackey that is compromised and corrupt too .

Barr will pivot to some bullshit charges against the investigators to satisfy Trump and send the media scurrying off topic.

He's being sent out there to cause some sort of distraction, so that everyone pays more attention to that then they do the actual report. And, yep. Unless they go full Nazi, it ain't gonna work.
