In a furious opening statement on Monday evening ahead of his testimony before the House, Attorney General William Barr blasted the Russia investigation as “bogus,” attacked Democrats for trying to “discredit” him, and denied any interference in the DOJ by President Donald Trump.

Commenters on social media were furious at Barr’s behavior.

3. Easy there, dog (n/t)

4. I don't bite, much.

I'm a lawyer. Watching him violate every single ethics rule really hits hard.

6. I know, it's not just the ethics rules Trump violates

He breaks laws like I eat breakfast.

He violates his Constitutional Oath every single goddamn day.

I will be among the throngs cheering when he's gone.

My comment to you was simply because I've smoked some killer weed and feel paranoid so I'd like you to watch out for Agent Mike.

7. LOL...I of course meant victim of a misunderstanding. That part was silent.

5. I want to see the House rub his nose in all this shit he's pushing right now.

Let them ask him immediately to explain his actions with the press. The justifications will make global headlines for Maximum Stupidity.

8. He's going to lie, bullshit, gaslight, plead executive privilege...

that's a given...I want our guys to cut off any GOP grandstanding and if one of those enabling sycophants refuses to shut up and argues with the chairman then call the sergeant-at-arms have him/her escorted out...no screwing around. ...I want our guys to ask yes or no questions..no allowing Barr to parse words..and if he refuses to answer I want our guys to keep pressing..get under that asshole's skin..show no deference for the office only veiled contempt..I want our guys to read Trump's delusional tweets and then hang them around Barr's neck...and finally, if Barr erupts then have him escorted out..diminish him...and I want the chairman to schedule another hearing on the spot and serve Barr with a subpoena on his way out...we have to make him look like a a fool and Trump's hatchet man....

9. So he's actually going to show up tomorrow?
