22. The QUESTION from Van Hollen was whether Barr agreed with Mueller on a point of fact

"So I’m asking you whether you agree with Mueller that there were difficult issues of law and fact in making that assessment?"

Answering this question does not inherently involve divulging any additional contents from the Report (not that our Dems should somehow be 'barred' from insisting such contents, in fact, be divulged).

It's basically a 'yes' or 'no' question, and Barr is refusing to answer.

I don't know why you're complicating this, nor giving Barr cover for not doing so.

So what is Van Hollen suggesting? hughee99 Apr 2019 #3

He wants him to explain how he came to the conclusion... Miles Archer Apr 2019 #5

Can you really explain how you reached the conclusion hughee99 Apr 2019 #6

Yes, because Barr reached his conclusion before he read the report. lagomorph777 Apr 2019 #18

Well, everyone knew Trump was guilty from the start, so why hughee99 Apr 2019 #20
