I'm sure this DOJ can't wait to prosecute. /sI think it's very useful in the sense that you get him in a position to openly and willfully lie in Congressional testimony.

They were fine with this exact answer, many times, from ~1985-1988. OK, only some Americans were and remain fine with this kind of answer: The treasonous ratbastard quisling types.
I think Blumenthal was about to rip him a new face hole over that little display.Graham just threw a lifeline there vs Blumenthal.
Blumenthal was getting ready to back him into a pretty small corner over the notes regarding the Mueller call.

*GRAHAM* OH SHIT MY BOY GONNA DROWN HERE!
**Gavel** meeting adjourned!
Thank God the Dems took the House, at least.Graham said he wouldn’t have Mueller testify, as far as he’s concerned it’s over.

I think the bottom line is that since Mueller punted on any decision to indict and left it to another entity, we are simply screwed. Keep in mind that Mueller is still a republican with a career that he likely doesn't want tarnished. Even though he was a marine and is honestly a good guy, by not stepping up, he let America down, unless you're a knuckle dragging Trump fan anyway.
Even though Barr lied today under oath, nothing will come of it. Whether the House has the fortitude to do anything other than bluster I'd be surprised, I don't see anything coming out of that body either even if Mueller testifies to be honest.
I can't help but think how unprepared the Democratic senators appeared today. I mean Barr testified he didn't read anything except Mueller's summaries, which he supposedly based his decisions off of. Barr used Mueller's lack of action to help justify his lack of action, and how can you argue that since Mueller is a hard working thorough investigator, that Barr could come up with anything different himself?

Whoever this is is good, backed Barr into a corner. He admitted he didn't look at the underlying evidence in the report, citing the report itself as the evidence, despite the fact that he and the dept AG are the individuals responsible for clearing or indicting. Making a decision on this without looking at the evidence? No bueno.
Barr is not going to show for the House hearing tomorrow. Given his performance in the Senate I suppose that was to be expected.
Now House Judiciary will have to make some decisions about what to do.
Edit: Seems they're already moving to subpoena him.
Yep, he did it. Subpoena, cite for contempt and arrest in the authority of Congress if necessary. Barr and Trump have created a Constitutional crisis that must not stand.
