[See NewsBusters for more.] Former Attorney General Bill Barr took his book tour to The Lead with Jake Tapper on CNN on Friday where Tapper, despite acknowledging that Barr’s assessment of the Russian collusion narrative is correct, wondered if Barr was still helping Vladimir Putin.
Tapper began by conceding that Special Counsel Robert Mueller did not bring any collusion-related charges against President Trump or his associates, “One last question which is about Russia-gate, that’s what you call it in the book, which you largely dismiss as a caper and a hoax and—and-- a fantasy of Democrats. It’s—It’s true, I wanted to say, that Mueller found and his team found no prosecutable evidence that there was conspiracy between the Trump team and the Russians.”
