Jonathan Turley Shoots Down Dem Concerns, Slams CBS Reporter's 'Insulting' Question to Barr

In the middle of the media’s outrage over Bill Barr’s statements at the pre-Mueller report release press conference, rational analysis was found on CBS, as legal analyst Jonathan Turley calmly and bluntly dismantled the Democrats’ concerns over the Attorney General’s impartiality. The George Washington University Constitutional Law Professor also called out CBS reporter Paula Reid’s badgering of Barr during the presser as “insulting.â€
Repeatedly, CBS anchor Gayle King tried to legitimize Democrat’s pathetic attempts to discredit the AG as biased. But Turley swiftly shut down that theory, even criticizing CBS reporter Paula Reid for her question during the presser:
GAYLE KING: One of the main concerns they [Democrats] had about him having this press conference, Bill Barr, is that he would lay the foundation that would be very favorable to the President of the United States before anybody had a chance to look at this report. It's interesting that he did not answer the question, when he was asked by Paula Reid, ‘Are you the Attorney General or the United States or are you -- the criticism is that you are working as the Attorney General for Donald Trump.’ He did not answer that question!
