Opinion: William Barr now has to try to defend the indefensible

Image
Attorney General William Barr is scheduled to testify Wednesday in the Senate and on Thursday in the House, though CNN reported he is balking at the format on the Democratic-controlled House side and threatening not to appear. (Apparently the threat of follow-up questioning by congressional aides is too much for the nation's top prosecutor to withstand.) When Barr testifies in Congress this week -- even if he boycotts the House and only appears in the Senate -- he finally will face a fair fight. from CNN.com - RSS Channel - HP Hero https://cnn.it/2VzAKpk via

That fortuitous twist, however, risks overshadowing the documentary's larger message, which essentially serves as a rallying cry to brave elected politics, emphasizing that AOC is the notable exception, not the rule. from CNN.com - RSS Channel - HP Hero https://cnn.it/2JdqegX via
