A Lawless AG For A Lawless Administration

Trump fixer Bill Barr is refusing to testify in front of the House tomorrow, because as badly as he humiliated himself today he thinks he would look even worse if interrogated by professionals:

Attorney General William P. Barr told a House panel on Wednesday that he will not testify about special counsel Robert S. Mueller III’s report, raising the prospect that Democrats will hold the nation’s top law enforcement official in contempt of Congress.

Barr, who also missed a deadline for subpoenaed information on Wednesday, had been scheduled to testify before the House Judiciary Committee on Thursday about his handling of Mueller’s report on Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election. But Barr balked at the committee’s plan to have a committee counsel question him alongside lawmakers, a snub that angered Democrats.

“When push comes to shove, the administration cannot dictate the terms of our hearing in our hearing room,” Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.), chairman of the committee, told reporters. He said the panel would meet as planned and added, “I hope and expect that the attorney general will think overnight and will be there as well.”

Who could have foreseen that a professional Republican cover-up artist would continue to cover up Republican crimes?

In addition, read Lithwick on the, ah, novel theory that the president should feel free to obstruct investigations if he feels that the investigations deserve to be obstructed.
