Why A Judge’s Rebuke Of Barr’s Mueller Report Shenanigans Was So Remarkable
Why A Judge's Rebuke Of Barr's Mueller Report Shenanigans Was So Remarkable

"A federal judge’s assertions Thursday that Attorney General Bill Barr made “misleading” statements about special counsel Robert Mueller’s report sent shockwaves through the legal community.

The judge’s allegations that Barr “distorted” Mueller’s findings in a perhaps “calculated attempt to influence public discourse about the Mueller Report in favor of President Trump” was a remarkable scolding of a sitting attorney general, and one that comes as other actions Barr has taken related to Mueller’s probe have come under increased scrutiny.

Seasoned legal experts said they had never seen anything like the opinion that U.S. District Judge Reggie Walton of Washington, D.C., issued in a Freedom of Information Act case. In his stinging ruling, the judge ordered the Justice Department to produce for his own review an unredacted version of Mueller’s report because Walton couldn’t trust the government’s stated reasons for withholding redactions of the report.

What stood out to former federal prosecutors is that Walton called out Attorney General Bill Barr by name. The judge said that the way Barr rolled out the Mueller report called into question Barr’s “credibility” and thus the claims that the Justice Department now was making about the report’s redactions.

“I have never seen an attorney general called out this way before by a judge for making misrepresentations,” Harry Sandick, a former federal prosecutor, told TPM in an email."

Barr points out that, remarkably, this judge is a liar.

This is not a persuasive argument, by the poster or by the AG.


Justice Department Hits Back After Judge Slams Attorney General Barr, Orders DOJ to Turn Over Unredacted Weissmann Mueller Report

The DOJ hit back and said “the court’s assertions were contrary to the facts.”

“The original redactions in the public report were made by Department attorneys, in consultation with senior members of Special Counsel Mueller’s team, prosecutors in US Attorney’s Offices, and members of the Intelligence Community,” the DOJ said.

“In response to FOIA requests, the entire report was then reviewed by career attorneys, including different career attorneys with expertise in FOIA cases — a process in which the Attorney General played no role.”

This is not a persuasive argument, by the poster or by the AG.

Whether you are "persuaded" isn't particularly interesting. This loud mouthed grandstanding judge is a liar. Barr played no role in the original redactions in the public report.

A far left wing judge......LOL

And he doesn't have the security clearance to have it... Now that is hilarious... Hes got nothin comin!

Judge Reggie Walton is a far leftist activist judge.... And the original source was the DAILY KOS...



Look for a federal injunction from the appellate court by next Monday.. This idiot just made a very bad decision. I hope he has a good lawyer for the slander he just committed from the bench.

Its rather interesting that they are attempting to revive the Russia hoax this way.. This is going to end badly for them..

Wasn't he the judge who sentenced Scooter Libby to 30 months in prison with a $250,000 fine and ordered him to report to jail without bond pending appeal?

WOW..

Schumer and Schiff are attempting to get at the sealed hearings and testimony given in front of the grand-jury... SO they took this to Reggie Walton's Court where they would get a favorable ruling... The appellate court is going to body slam him..

There has been about 5 threads on this already...we did not need another one

A republican appointed judge speaks the truth and some cannot handle the truth

So for those who cannot handle the truth

Mr. Barr put forward a “distorted” and “misleading” account of its findings and lacked credibility on the topic.

which was quite obvious to some but some like his jib because it support their guy

now they do not like this judges jib just because the judge jib is justice

some preferring justice to be defined by DT who needs to call home or be placed in a rocket and sent home

As I recall the SCOTUS already ruled on this and told them they had no right to the grand jury information. They are just being real stupid and I hope it bites them in the ass.

What evidence do you have that Barr didn't influence or even direct phrases and even paragraphs to be redacted?

Perhaps if Hillary was subject to the law like everyone else in our country, people wouldn't chant lock her up. I'm sorry if you do not like having an AG that is not controlled by the media, but crying about his authority is pointless. Holder was obviously Obama's puppet, but the dems won the election. That is the way it works, especially now that everything from the justice department to the IRS is completely political. Someone else pointed out that most politicians on both sides are owned by somebody and lining their own pockets. I truly wish that were not so. The 4th estate is gone, owned by about six people right? There is nothing left to keep them honest. Democrat Politicians don''t even pretend to worry about breaking the law anymore. They brag about it. You guys want to give them more power, and hope it works out this time?

oh no ...lets give all those lol lol honest republicans more power,,,,a den of hypocrites

I said both sides are owned and line their pockets, the difference is that democrats are bumping it up and wanting to control healthcare and the energy sector. If incompetence bothers you, don't give the government your money.

That is why Trump is so great. Not a Dem or a real Repub either.

His only agenda is solving problems. He doesn't give a fig about the tug of war between the swampies.

Clearly trump is not a Democrat nor is he a Republican. He's is narcissist. D's support we the people, R's support special Interests and corporations, and N's support only themselves.

QUACK! Hitlery lined her pocket while Bill the rapist was President. Obama sold us out.

"QUACK"? A very foul comment, one with out any evidence to make these three claims credible.
