they are wanting william barr to break the law, as the department of justice attorney general of the united states america. he is not complying because he s following the law. it s all political theater to get this narrative out there, because the new investigation didn t go the way they wanted to go, so they will keep dragging on these investigations and subpoenas. harris: two things help me want to break the cycle of the talking points that people are in right now. one, congress could change the law with regard to grand jury testimony. and everybody can see everything. is there any world in which that could happen? it would take both bodies. and who would want that what person would be a part of a grand jury and what person would give testimony knowing harris: in the future? yeah, in the future nobody would do that. harris: the other thing has to do, just simply, with moving forward in all of this and what gets missed if you are focused on this. democrats say they can w
this is we need lessons. fox & friends step it up. basketball lessons and now driving a stick shift. those are two things on my list. pete: jump some kayaks later. ed: attorney general of the united states william barr has been under fire from democrats trying to held them in contempt of congress. beginning of the week he pushed back and almost laughed all that off asking nancy pelosi you got the handcuffs? i m ready to face off with you. then he goes down to el salvador to talk about the other big things is he doing for the president such as taking on ms-13 and other gangs. he sat down for an exclusive interview with our own bill hemmer and sat down with the wall street journal and was very blunt in saying that government power was used to spy on american citizens in the 2016 campaign. pete: big stuff. listen to the a.g. i ve been trying to get answers to questions. and i found that a lot of the answers have been inadequate. and i have also found that some of the explanations
