Barr lied in Senate Testimony

I note with interest AG Barr’s 4/10 Senate testimony. “Q: Did Bob Mueller support your conclusion? A: I don’t know whether Bob Mueller supported my conclusion.” Now it appears that Mueller objected in this 3/27 letter. https://t.co/IiK5zJYtAS

He’s evil and harms America, but he is smart.

I bet the Mueller letter doesn’t say whether Mueller agrees with his “conclusion”. It could also be that “his conclusion” is too vague and Barr could claim he is talking about a different conclusion.

Yes it's a common defense in cases in which ppl try to imply it's not what they meant when it clearly was what they meant.
