Bill Barr is not as smart as he thinks he is

Earlier today:

“Mr. Attorney General, did the president ask you to publicly defend him regarding the Ukrainian call, and if so, why did you not want to do that?”

“If you’re talking about press reports that he asked me to have a news conference, the fact is, I don’t remember any such request,” Barr said. “In fact, my recollection is that I told the White House that we would do what we would normally do, and that is issue a press statement, which we did, and that was not an issue. There was no pushback on that.”

He doesn’t remember the request but he does remember his response?

Ok.

Maybe Bill Barr isn’t as smart as he thinks he is?
