Bill Barr’s four -hour house surveillance deposit stimulates the partisan gap

The closed -door deposit of the former prosecutor General Bill Barr before the chamber’s supervisory committee ended after more than four hours on Monday, and the legislators on the opposite sides of the aisle had very different interpretations of the way it took place.

The representatives Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, and Suhas Subramanyam, D-VA., Who represented the Democrats of the Committee during the sit-down led by the staff, said that they ended up with “more questions now” than before Barr’s start.

The chairman of the James Comer Chamber’s supervisory committee, R-Ky., The only republican present, said that Barr “had a lot of light” on the Epstein case and said that he “had answered all the questions” presented to him.

The two parties only spoke with journalists halfway from Barr’s testimony, which started on Monday at 10 a.m. on Monday. Fox News Digital saw him leave about 30 minutes before 3 p.m.

“I think the democratic side does most of the heavy work, and I don’t think we learn a lot from the interrogations of the House Republicans,” said Subramanyam.

“It does not seem to be something where they really care about victims and try to go to the bottom of what’s going on.”

Crockett said: “It seems that they go through the movements, and they want people to believe that they are digging. But at the end of the day, I don’t think we have learned anything by the republican question that you could not find in one of the articles that your outlets have probably printed.”

Commer told journalists later, however: “Our goal with this investigation is to be transparent.”

He even praised the Democrats for having taken the question “seriously”, adding, “it is a bipartite investigation, and I hope that we can obtain the answers that the American people want and deserves.”

Asked about the attacks of Democratic legislators against the line of questions from the Republicans, however, Commer accused them of doing politics with the situation.

“It is regrettable that the Democrats are trying, it seems to me, politicize this. When you look at the basis of this, horrible crimes against young girls, and, of course, the objective of the Democrats is to try to dig up a kind of dirt on President Trump,” said Commer.

He said republican staff “asked a lot of difficult questions” and accused Democrats of operating according to a double standard.

“I never remember that the Democrats have assigned a former Democratic Attorney General for anything,” he said.

Commer accused the Democrats of trying to create a “false story” connecting Trump and Epstein, after Subramanyam launched the possibility of a “concealment” of Trump and his allies.

“This is a serious investigation. This is a sincere investigation. I hope it will be a bipartite investigation. I encourage my democratic colleagues not to politicize this,” said Comer.

Bill Barr testifies that he did not see any information that “would imply” Trump in the case of Epstein, says Comer

“I think General Barr answered many questions that probably broke out their bubble as regards, he had never communicated with President Trump on a potential list of Epstein or anything else. And he had never seen anything that would imply President Trump.”

Barr arrived on Capitol Hill almost an hour before his expected testimony, only precipitating that the “lève-Tôt obtains the worm” in response to a wave of journalist questions.

He was also with a soft voice when he went out, even though Fox News Digital and others wondered what he said to the investigators at home.

Barr only said “absolutely” when he asked if he had a good conversation on Monday.

A familiar source with his deposition told Fox News Digital that Barr “clearly said that President Trump had never provided any point of view or instruction linked to the criminal case against Jeffrey Epstein or his death, and that he has never seen any evidence suggesting that President Trump has committed a crime.”

“He also said he thought that the Biden Ministry of Justice would have published incriminating evidence against President Trump if such evidence existed,” said the source, who described Barr as “cooperative”.

Barr is the first of many people to assign to appear before the Chamber’s supervisory committee after the Republicans and the Democrats voted to order to join the investigation last month.

Several other former prosecutors general, former FBI directors, and even the former first couple Bill and Hillary Clinton were also assigned.

Fox News Digital contacted Barr’s lawyer to comment but did not immediately hear.
