Was nice to see Klobuchar calm, methodical way querying Barr

No, not flashy like Harris but getting to the point.

This was before the BuzzFeed's report, now denied by Mueller, that Trump told Cohen to lie, but as the report of NPR noted, her questions seem prescient

AMY KLOBUCHAR: You wrote on Page 1 that a president persuading a person to commit perjury would be obstruction. Is that right?

WILLIAM BARR: Yes.

KLOBUCHAR: OK.

BARR: Or any - well, you know, any person who persuades another to - yeah.

KLOBUCHAR: OK. You also said that a president or any person convincing a witness to change testimony would be obstruction. Is that right?

BARR: Yes.

KLOBUCHAR: OK.
