The judge sharply rebuked Attorney General William Barr’s handling of the special counsel’s report and called his public statements “misleading” and distorted.

"The inconsistencies between Attorney General Barr's statements, made at a time when the public did not have access to the redacted version of the Mueller Report to assess the veracity of his statements, and portions of the redacted version of the Mueller Report that conflict with those statements cause the Court to seriously question whether Attorney General Barr made a calculated attempt to influence public discourse about the Mueller Report in favor of President Trump despite certain findings in the redacted version of the Mueller Report to the contrary."
"These circumstances generally, and Attorney General Barr's lack of candor specifically, call into question Attorney General Barr's credibility.”
what does the fox say
This report didn’t age well! Now we know who the real criminals are and Robert Mueller was one of them!
380 thumbs down. You're an IDIOT !!
Judge Walton has clearly been seduced by FAKE news. First AG BARR has nothing to do with redactions in the Mueller report which were carried out by MANY US attorneys, FOIA experts, and members of the intelligence services. BARR was not even involved in this process except to sign off.
Second , for the SAME reason Barr summarized that it's unlawful to hand over unredacted portions to the LEGISLATIVE branch, it is also Unlawful for the Judicial branch, Judges cannot crown themselves kings simply because they may be missing part of a classified picture and curiosity drives their inquiry.
The fake news likes to tout that this is a Reagan/Bush appointed judge, but this is TOTALLY irrelevant. The deep state has operatives that come in all flavors and if the DOJ doesn't operate under the LAW, then it would never be successful in exposing bad actors of the administrative state…Sorry Judge Walton, No soup for you
I would suggest that Barr should initiate investigations into the Political Activity of the Federal Judiciary.
Welcome to Trump's world!!!
Barr is Opus Dei, literally a Roman Catholic Fascist. This Vatican cult’s zealotry grants Barr the impunity to sanctify his own malignant deeds as “God’s Work” – transcending the moral authority of the laws of mere men
damn sick andtired of federal judges!
Anyone that wasn't blindly following liars was already well aware of these facts!
Barr is disgusting!
Judge who?? Walton? Who the hell is he???? Fake news!!
This same JUDGE WOULD NOT RELEASE CLINTON'S during the 2016 elections because it would hurt her chances and would reveal who was in the deep state. Reggie Walton protects Hillary in 2016 saying that people are violating her personal privacy during the whitewater incident of the 1990's because he didn't want to affect her presidential run and he probably knew Hillary had something going on with a Russian dossier….. He claimed Disclosure of the drafts of the proposed indictment would not shed light on any agency’s performance of its statutory duties, but potentially shed light solely on the character of Mrs. Clinton, independent to her position as a public official, which is not the objective of the FOIA."
Just by looking at Barr. You know he can't be trusted.
B.S., No self respecting Judge would have made such a comment. I am certain there is distortion afoot.
… … … .
OMG GIVE IT A FREAKING BREAK ALREADY!!!! NOTHING BURGER!!!
Boo hoo ABC, you see it’s getting harder to make your democrat owners look good.
The Federal judge's perception of reality is misleading and distorted. Must be a democrat/liberal.
Barr was a cover up. The whole GOP help to cover up, except Mitt.

First of all the DOJ was I'm horrible corrupt shape when bar took over. But that said Yes bar should've forced Miller to follow every avenue. Muller was asked to find out who was involved in colluding with Russia but instead only focused on Trump and when he had found out that the first court abuse and fake planted dossier barr should directed Muller to follow those leads on the spot.
I can honestly say its several things that bar has done to piss me off as well.
Letting mcabe walk after 8 counts of lying to Congress and fbi.
Why didn't he pursue the law when required?
This goes both ways I think dems and republicans are a bit pissed at bar.
Keeping the Trump administration on its toes. Keep up the great work uncle 👍
