AG Barr Admits You Can't Take Any Information You Receive from Ukraine at 'Face Value'

Attorney General William Barr confirmed on Monday that you can’t take any information you get from Ukraine at face value–an approach that was not shared by John Solomon, Rudy Giuliani and his associates, and President Donald Trump in the lead-up to the impeachment inquiry and beyond.

Barr made the comments on Monday when confirming that, indeed, the Department of Justice has a process in place for Giuliani to hand over dirt so that said dirt can be vetted. Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) claimed on Sunday that there was such a process currently being utilized.

. . .

Barr confirmed that during a press conference on an unrelated high-profile matter. The DOJ has the obligation to have an “open door” to anyone who “wishes to provide us information that they think is relevant,” the Attorney General said on Monday.

Barr said that he warned Sen. Graham, however, that you just can’t trust information coming from Ukraine.

You can't trust information coming from Barr as well.

When your Attorney General has a vested interest in dwelling in the ass crack of an acting pResident, you know the quality and value of whatever information he might provide and then buy more toilet paper to respond with.

Barr has temporarily rendered the DOJ as Donald's Office Jester, only the jokes are about us, not the King.

He is performing Trump's desired "just have an investigation, any investigation" function that was supposed to be done by Ukraine/Zelensky, while dodging the burden of actually endorsing or claiming to believe Guiliani/Solomon nonsense. Trump is getting exactly the propaganda win he wants, from an AG abusing the power of the DOJ for political purposes -- the only question is whether the media has the fortitude to point out Barr's veneer of professionalism/objectivity is bullshit.

that the Ukraine will be given to Russia if Trump gets re-elected, right?
Maybe this is a bit of hyperbole, but I’m worried it’s not. Those poor people.
