18. House Democrats should pursue this issue further

Asked whether anyone at the White House had “suggested” opening criminal cases, Barr paused, squirming visibly, then said he was trying to recall. "It seems you would remember,” Harris noted, giving him that look of hers.

When Barr finally claimed no one had “asked” him to open an investigation, Harris asked whether anyone had “hinted” at it, or “suggested” it. Barr didn't know how to answer, probably wondering if someone else present in those meetings would have a different recollection. “You don’t know?” Harris asked. “I don’t know,” Barr responded. The guy was obviously lying.

Trump surely discussed investigating his political opponents with everyone, likely employing the same sort of coded language used to order mafia hits. That's all he talked about during the campaign, even threatening Hillary in one of the debates, promising to order an investigation and have her jailed as soon as he was sworn in. Trump and Sessions were leading chants of "lock her up!" at every one of his Bund Rallies. It's probably the real reason he fired Sessions; for not arresting Hillary Clinton as AG.

If the Democratic House members were listening, Harris just showed them how to get Barr to tie himself in knots, and commit perjury.
