Rep. Darin LaHood
May 1, 2019
Tweet - "I'm gravely concerned that the 14 criminal referrals from Special Counsel Mueller related to the investigation are under the supervision & control of AG Barr. He's virtually disqualified himself to be the kind of person we can expect to stand back & make sure justice is served."
Sen. Dick Durbin
May 1, 2019
Tweet - "Barr said an AG shouldn't show any political favoritism. He did exactly that with the March 24th letter. He did exactly that with the press conference before the release of the Mueller report. It's inconsistent with his promise to the American people & to the Judiciary Committee."
