CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer practically begged his Democrat guest to call Attorney General William Barr, a liar, and find a way to force him out disgracefully, during CNN’s live coverage of the AG’s testimony before the Senate, Wednesday morning.
That question was prompted by news that broke overnight, revealing Special Counsel Robert Mueller was not happy with Barr’s summary of his report, writing him a letter saying it didn’t fully capture the context of the report’s conclusions. However, Mueller did admit it was “not an inaccurate or misleading” summary. Regardless, that didn’t matter to the cable networks, who spent all morning hyperventilating that Barr had lied to Congress and the American people.
Shortly before Barr appeared before the Senate Judiciary Committee, Blitzer brought on Democrat whip Dick Durbin to further CNN’s liberal agenda in discrediting the AG. “The stakes have gotten higher,” Blitzer gushed, adding there was a “huge uproar” over the news that Mueller objected to Barr’s summary. “So how will Democrats take this on today during this upcoming hearing?” he asked.
Wolf Blitzer Urges Democrat to Call Barr a Liar, Force AG Out
litzer described how Barr had told Congress he “didn’t know” if Mueller had “supported” his conclusion in his summary, during his April 10 testimony, after Mueller’s letter had been sent to him. “We now know Mueller stated his concerns to Barr on March 27th, a letter. Did Barr lie to Congress?” he asked.
Durbin didn’t directly answer, asserting that Mueller “made it clear at the beginning that Barr’s conclusions did not reflect the reality of that report" and had "whitewashed" the report. That wasn’t good enough for Blitzer who urged the Democrat again to call Barr a liar who had perjured himself before the Senate:
“So do you believe he lied? Did Barr lie in front of Congress which, of course, would be perjury, that's illegal!” Blitzer eagerly asked.
Durbin showed more caution than the CNN host, supposedly an impartial journalist, showed. “Well, I'm not going to say a crime was committed but he clearly misled [his Democrat colleagues,]” he stated. Blitzer tried one final time, this time acting as the judge and juror for the AG:
“Do you believe he should resign or be impeached?” he urged.
Durbin again didn’t directly answer but said the AG had “virtually disqualified himself” as an impartial actor.
The left has lost their mind.
CW2 breaks out the next time a Dem president in sworn in.
So, that’s their MO? Don’t debate. Don’t put your plan out there, defend it and convince you have the right one. Just obstruct, insult and accuse. And when that fails, do everything in your power to force the other side to give in or get run out. Very adult of them. Good Lord. It’s no wonder things like ANTIFA, OWS, BLM, et al, exist. The supposed “adults in the room” are no better, if not worse.
If Blitzer is this insane, now, then they know there’s potential for disaster. We can only hope that all of this, now that Barr is in the game, will give him the motivation to take all these corrupt bastards down.
And just what do you mean by CW2? This is idiotic. I cannot think of a more discrediting comment than calling for, hoping for, threatening civil war. Periodically people post this on FR and I’d like to really understand what you mean by this. Are you saying take up arms, start shooting people?
Blitzer has become as overwrought and unhinged as Shep Smith on Fox.
The DEMONRATS have LOST THEIR MINDS. They show utmost disdain and disrespect for OUR president. THEY ATTEMPTED A COUP AGAINST HIM FOR CHRIST SAKES!
The behavior and actions of the DEMONRATS would've started a CIVIL WAR two hundred years ago.. a hundred years ago.. etc..
It is going to happen if the DEMONRATS continue to ESCALATE THEIR HATRED OF OUR DULY-ELECTED PRESIDENT. It's ALREADY gone too far.
The sole purpose of these BARR HEARINGS is to CATCH HIM IN A PERJURY TRAP SO THEY CAN REMOVE HIM FROM OFFICE BECAUSE THEY FEAR WHAT MIGHT BE COMING REGARDING INDICTMENTS FOR THEIR COUP..
When is ENOUGH, ENOUGH? According to YOUR logic the people of Venezuela should just STFU and accept Maduro as their dictator regardless of the TRUE outcome of their election?
Try answering my question. Just what do you mean by CW2, what are you advocating? What are you going to do, start shooting people?
Boy he sure does sound Scared of Something, my money says Blitzer was a Willing Participant in the Attempted Overthrow of the United States Government
The sharp decrease for CNN marked its lowest-rated month in total viewers since October 2015.
CNN's highest-rated show was "Chris Cuomo Primetime," which averaged 917,000 viewers in finishing 26th overall in total viewers among the cable news networks.
Blitzer and CNN lie at the bottom of the cable TV trash heap.
“Try answering my question. Just what do you mean by CW2, what are you advocating? What are you going to do, start shooting people?”
What are you trying to do, bait someone into saying something incriminating?
Do you think it’s idiotic to wear a MAGA hat or have a Trump bumper sticker on your car? Can you question a liberal point of view in work or a public forum without fearing for your job or your safety? How far can you be pushed before you start pushing back? And keep in mind that all of this harassment is coming from people who currently don’t have control over your government. How do think they will behave when they do get power?
Believing something will happen and advocating it are two different things entirely. But.. YOU KNOW THAT.
I am saying that the whole line of promoting, wishing for, planning for, calling for, or whatever, the whole CW2 meme is wrong, irresponsible, discrediting, and should stop. That is my point because, as you say, it is incriminating—directly or indirectly. It is discrediting. No one in their right mind should be advocating CW2, especially without stating what they mean by what they are calling for.
You said it.
I have a MAGA hat, I sometimes where it, I do not fear for myself or my job. My 11 year old son has one, wears it as well. We’ve heard almost universal compliments for our open support. Sure, I don’t live in feces drenched San Francisco, but I’m not going to move there just to where the hat there.
What Mueller felt is irrelevant. They should already know for themselves whether the Barr memo was a "lie" or not.
Why doesn't somebody simply throw the question back at Blitzer and ask, "You saw the report yourself. Do you think the Barr summary was accurate?"

Thank you for sharing that with us. Bless your heart.
Senator Hirono just did exactly that. She accused Barr of lying under oath.
