William Barr interview with CBS This Morning

In an exclusive interview with “CBS This Morning,” Attorney General William Barr said he believes special counsel Robert Mueller could have reached a decision on whether President Trump committed obstruction of justice, regardless of long-standing Justice Department policy that prohibits the indictment of a sitting president. During a nearly hour-long interview in Anchorage, Alaska, CBS News chief legal correspondent Jan Crawford pressed the attorney general on a number of issues from obstruction to his new review of the Russia investigation.

Here are video excerpts of the interview. The full transcript is HERE.

    Thanks for this, Stella.
    At the transcript link is the entire podcast, 48 min 22 sec, but they will not allow one to d/l it, so the transcript must suffice. Quick glance shows this to be quite interesting.

    Quite an interesting man. Imagine talking w/AG Barr would be quite a learning experience. Too bad the CBS propagandist did not appreciate her subject, and concentrated on harassing, challenging, and arguing with the AG.

    Barr is so careful with what he says and I think he says exactly what he means to say.

    AG William Barr suffering Jan Crawford with grace and aplomb.

    Probably one of the best “Hit me with your best shot” faces I have seen in my life.
