WASHINGTON (AP) President Donald Trumps nominee for attorney general will tell senators at his confirmation hearing it is vitally important that special counsel Robert Mueller be allowed to complete his Russia investigation, according to prepared remarks obtained by The Associated Press on Monday.
I believe it is in the best interest of everyone the President, Congress, and, most importantly, the American people - that this matter be resolved by allowing the Special Counsel to complete his work, Barr will say.
He will also address concerns that the results of Muellers investigation into potential coordination between the 2016 Trump presidential campaign and Russia might never be disclosed, saying it is very important that Congress and the public be informed of the prosecution teams findings.
For that reason, my goal will be to provide as much transparency as I can consistent with the law, Barr said. I can assure you that, where judgments are to be made by me, I will make those judgments based solely on the law and will let no personal, political, or other improper interests influence my decisions.

(4,341 posts)He is prepping everyone so that he gets confirmed, then he will do what he was sent to do. He should not be confirmed, he is a tool.
Question...if he gets confirmed and falters on his promises, proof that he lied during confirmation, can he be impeached, fired?
