WASHINGTON — To his critics, Attorney General William Barr is doing all he can to undercut the conclusions of the Mueller investigation to please the White House. To his supporters, he is scrutinizing the probe of a presidential candidate that even the Justice Department's inspector general said was flawed.

Those fault lines were in sharp relief after Barr directed federal prosecutors to abandon their prosecution of Michael Flynn, who served briefly as national security adviser in the early days of the Trump administration. Flynn admitted that he had lied to the FBI about his conversations during the transition with Russia's ambassador to the U.S.

Another leftist bias mainstream media opinion piece hit job?  With all the dirty laundry coming out about the last administration, I for one would like the AG to take a keen interest in how corrupt the bureaucracy is in DC.

So it is a news piece, and the facts that can be backed up or rebutted.  You could argue whether "Barr was consumed" is an objective truth but several facts are documented in the article.

It’s an opinion piece dressed up as a news piece that only points out various opinions from those on both sides.  Anyone could have written it, but the only fact it actually contains is the fact that the DOJ dropped the Flynn case.

Well that's your opinion. That fact is several quotes from different views on the topic were presented. Quite a bit of difference over American Greatness or Town Hall that features one group of views.

Yes, several quotes from people voicing their opinions.  Still doesn’t make it fact.

You missed the point, the journalist complied quotes from a variety of viewpoints. That is a fact, unless you  think those quotes are fabricated.

Still leaves those quotes as opinions.  The fact that someone "compiled" them is irrelevant.

It is interesting how opinions can be treated as facts when they come from a certain political mindset.

How does a news article which features quotes from a variety people with different perspectives on the issue come across to you as an opinion piece? It is a news piece about opinions. They actually said those things. Substantial difference from opinion or even analysis.

A news piece about opinions and perspectives.  I love it!  Btw, it really isn’t news since we already know what those opinions are.  Sounds like Pete Williams was just phoning it in.

So you can’t figure out that the Democrat lawmakers referenced in the piece would have an opinion like was stated?
