'Propaganda,' 'a Farce,' and 'a Disgrace': 2020 Dems Slam AG Barr's Press Conference
Shortly after Attorney General Bill Barr gave a press conference about Special Counsel Robert Mueller's report on Russian interference in the 2016 election, Democrats running for president in 2020 slammed the press conference as a "farce" and a "disgrace." Barr had declared that the Mueller report found no evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia, and his analysis found no evidence of obstruction of justice in the Mueller investigation.
"Barr is acting more like Trump’s defense attorney than the nation's Attorney General. His press conference was a stunt, filled with political spin and propaganda," Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) tweeted. "
Americans deserve the unvarnished truth. We need Special Counsel Mueller to testify publicly in Congress."

"AG Barr’s press conference was a farce and an embarrassing display of propaganda on behalf of President Trump," Rep. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) tweeted shortly after the event. "Barr works for the people, not the president. They deserve to know Mueller’s full findings because nobody—especially not the president—is immune from accountability."

She called for the immediate release of "the full, unredacted Mueller report," even though such a release would be illegal. Democrats have the power to demand the release of an unredacted Mueller report — if they file articles of impeachment. It seems they are unwilling to take the political risk, so it is disingenuous for them to blame Barr and Trump for the redactions.
Yet this truth did not stop the Democrats from demanding an unredacted report, suggesting that Barr's speech and any redactions involve "spin."
"The American people deserve the truth. Not spin from a Trump appointee. Release Mueller's full report now," Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) declared.
