Read: Barr's opening statement attacking Dems and "bogus" Russia probe

Source: Axios

Attorney General Bill Barr is set to accuse House Judiciary Committee Democrats of trying to discredit him over his investigations into the origins of the FBI's Russia probe when he appears before the panel Tuesday.

Details: In prepared remarks released Monday, Barr states that since he announced his investigation into what he calls "the grave abuses involved in the bogus 'Russiagate' scandal, many of the Democrats on this Committee have attempted to discredit" him by "conjuring up a narrative" that he's simply President Trump's "factotum who disposes of criminal cases according to his instructions."

"Judging from the letter inviting me to this hearing, that appears to be your agenda today," he will add.
What else he's saying: Barr also plans to address protests across the U.S. and the controversial deployment of federal agents in cities where there's been unrest.

He can rail all he wants, but his stint turning the office of the Attorney General into Consigliere for the Trump crime family is going to do him in.

They are just making crap up, as usual. Barr will probably use the same techniques. Adam Schiff is the Mr. Smith of the Congress. They can only fire bullets of misinformation since they have nothing else to protect their criminal natures.

In regards to Barr's statement
"many of the Democrats on this Committee have attempted to discredit" him by "conjuring up a narrative" that he's simply President Trump's "factotum who disposes of criminal cases according to his instructions."

If the shoe fits, put it back in your mouth.
