Barr ensnared in Roger Stone firestorm
By Jordain Carney - 02/12/20 06:00 PM EST

Attorney General Bill Barr is engulfed in a political firestorm on Capitol Hill amid the fallout from the Justice Department's decision to reduce its recommended sentence for Roger Stone.

Democrats are clamoring for Barr to testify and for the department’s decision to be investigated, arguing the move is the latest sign that Trump is feeling emboldened after Republicans acquitted him last week of abuse of power and obstructing Congress.

Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) called Barr an “enabler” of Trump, adding “that’s a kind word.”


“It appears the attorney general of the United States and other political appointees at the Justice Department intervened to countermand the sentencing recommendation,” Schumer said.

This is no more a 'firestorm' than the 'Russia Collusion' was.

Fake Firestorm.
